Coffee Shops near North Branford

“Good workers, and always get my coffee right the first time!!!!!“

“Quick fix for lunch on the go“

“Wallingford has so many choices when it comes to coffee, my choice is the Green Kettle, thanks and keep brewing the best coffee in town!“

“Cute little coffeeshop with very good coffee“

“I ordered the egg Benedict and was disappointed. The hollandaise sauce was not very good and the biscuit was soggy. The home fries were not flavorful either. I had to add a lot of salt, pepper and hot sauce to give any flavor to the dish. Finally , the dish was served on a plastics plate with plastic utensils.“

“Amazing fresh juices! Love the variety of flavors.“

“I want to move to a place closer to this shop. The language sections are not bad. So much selection. Super friendly people working here too. After a very long drive up from the state of floriDUH, it was so nice to be treated with so much kindness. I once heard a person from university tell me that I should've been a film major, kinda randomly TBH, and it had been on my mind for years now. I'm basically too afraid to go to the local venue where there are books and films because all my exes live in Texas. Would be super amazing to learn more about the perspectives of folks near Yale and other brain trust institutions of the NE USA. I'm kinda dulled and tired about and by all of the Spanish and Latino references around where I currently reside. Our public libraries are very dull in regards to languages - soooooo much in English and Spanish but then very VERY little in much of anything else. Any other languages and perspectives, I meant. Seriously, thanks for being so kind and welcoming to me! In floriDUH, it's about a 0.00012485% chance of anyone here being helpful on any given day. Hopefully, the autumn and winter months are going well for all of you there :) Cannot wait to be able to return one day.

The four stars is because of the paint color which weirdly is a weird color for paint.“

“First time checking out Spruce Coffee and overall it was a good experience. I got a drink from the fall menu and it was really good. The vibe is chill, super cute decor, and the staff was friendly.

Only downside is the space is pretty small, it can feel tight if it’s busy. I was also a little confused where to order since the register is right by the main door. On a crowded day I could see the line being out the door with not much room to wait.

Still, worth a visit for the good coffee and cozy atmosphere.“

“I went Branford Beach for the first time today. What a great experience!! Amazing breakfast sandwiches!!! Coffee, hot latte, cappuccino and Iced latte were all so tasty!!! The chocolate cheese muffin was top notch!!!! No it’s as well we’re so good!!!! Highly highly recommend!!!!! Oh and the staff are friendly and super helpful!“

“Sooo freaking good! One of my favorite espresso martinis“

“Cora was exquisite and so hardworking managing the front and serving our drinks with a smile while the place was busy. They are lucky to have such a hardworking young woman represent the company! Good drinks too!“

“A cozy yet contemporary restaurant with delicious food and a relaxed friendly atmosphere. I really look forward to coming back here again and again.“

“Good espresso and friendly service“

“The staff is so great, They have so many great drinks and treats to offer.. I definitely recommend this coffee shop and it’s a great to place to hang out! 👍“

“I’ve been coming to Willoughby’s since 1994 they have always provided a consistently outstanding cup of coffee. I also buy their beans which are roasted to perfection. Treat yourself, you won’t regret it.“

“I love this little Cafe. They have great food, wonderful service and a very welcoming and comfortable ambiance. It's a great place to meet a friend for coffee, have a working lunch or relax on the weekends. Personally my favorite is their Rumor sandwich!“

“Very enjoyable outside setting at Belle Vie! Just lovely. From the friendly staff whom immediacy greeted us upon arrival to tbe owner who made a special trip outdoors after personally cooking our crepes in the kitchen. We tried their chicken pesto crepe w/ tomato and spinach- absolutely delicious ! And also the salmon, cream cheese, tomato, caper, red onion crepe. Yum! We also sampled their lattes both hot and cold brew and a marvelous bacon cheddar biscuit warmed up and buttered ! They have sweet crepes as well and many non- crepe options. This Cafe will not disappoint! A beautiful menu with many selections of fresh, health conscious choices as well as some slightly more indulgent pasterie options! ( and a few more diet aware pastries as well! ) Belle Vie Cafe has everything you need! … And with a great vibe , too!!! Give it a go. You’ll be back! ) Don't forget to take a stroll along the Guilford Green just a block away offering weekend events and other shops and eateries to check out ! Very picturesque. )“

“If anyone went to Jepson school in the 90s this is Cheryl from Carol’s classes place!! The food is so good!! it’s made with love and tastes like it’s made from your mom’s kitchen. It’s definitely a go to breakfast/lunch spot in New Haven! <3“

“Common Grounds in Branford is my “Go to” every day after my workouts. I meet with friends for coffee and spirited conversation, and see a lot of people I know….and I always make new friends! The staff is AMAZING and I love the owners! Great vibe and the BEST JAVA on the planet. And the wraps…..YUMMY!!!! Thank you!!“

“Very nice workers here!! Very fast and friendly service!!“

“Love love love this place. I have spent so many hours hanging out here. In the morning it’s so fun to come sit on the couch and read a book — the coffee is delicious! And the coffee menu is really cool and fun. Any latte here is a win. And Hanna is the most incredible and friendliest barista!! It’s also a really fun vibe in the afternoon to come for a beer and hangs. They have vegetarian options for food usually and a great food truck outside. I am all about aesthetic and this place crosses all the t’s and dots all the i’s. My new go-to spot!!“

“I always get their skinny lattes. ☕️☕️☕️ Delicious! Plus bagel with cream cheese & lox! Looking forward to trying various wines! 🍷🍷🍷“

“Great wait staff Food was delish“

“I work close by so I am at Cilantro several times a week... and as a self-proclaimed "foodie" I highly recommend this local hot spot for delicious coffee, super tasty chicken salad, raspberry/almond scones, "yoga" cookies, matcha cookies & their peanut butter/ coconut bites! I also frequently get their matcha or golden milk lattes, both are masterfully made & delicious either hot or cold!! I usually see Helen, but everyone there is also as friendly as she is and on-point with my order. Their in-store grocery treats and savory goodies are a delightful hand-picked selection that reminds regulars & travelers why they're a favorite local business & one to support and visit often!!“

“I just went to DD and I dropped my phone in the driver drive-through and there was a Spanish kid in the drive-through that picked up my phone off the ground and he was so helpful. I didn’t catch his name. However, I tried to call Duncan to talk to a supervisor to let them know that the kid in the drive-through was wonderful and his customer service was awesome, however the person that picked up the phone doesn’t speak any English and it was very rude. It was some lady and I don’t know her name but she was very rude. Other than that the dunkin is OK.“

“Very welcoming atmosphere with an upbeat vibe, very tasty teas & a variety to choose from.“

“In a red brick building on what feels like every New England main street ever written about, Ground Up Coffee has carved out the kind of space that makes you almost forget you're in a shared cafeteria complex rather than some Brooklyn-wannabe independent joint. And that's not a bad thing.

The industrial-chic interior, with its exposed ductwork and concrete floors, could easily have felt like another soulless attempt at urban cool. But there's something genuine here, maybe it's the way the snow piles up against those massive windows, or how the baristas actually seem to care about the golden-brown croissants arranged meticulously behind spotless glass.

Their menu hits all the contemporary coffee shop greatest hits, your matcha lattes (mine was decent, if a bit timid), your nitro cold brews, your fancy flavor shots that thankfully don't taste like liquid candy. The prices won't make you wince, which is refreshing in an era where a cup of coffee can cost more than lunch.

Let's talk about the elephant in the room, that missing health inspection rating. Look, I'm not saying they're hiding anything sinister. The place is cleaner than many professional kitchens, but in this business, you post that shit proudly. It's like showing up to a job interview without pants, technically you might be qualified, but people are going to have questions.

The space flows into a larger shared area, which could be a mess but somehow works, like a good jazz ensemble playing off each other's rhythms. The pastry case suggests someone in charge actually cares about food beyond the obligatory sad muffin offering, and the whole operation runs with a quiet efficiency that's becoming rare in the age of Instagram-first cafes.

Is it perfect? No. The winter draft from those picture windows could probably use some attention, and seriously, let's get that health rating up where we can see it. But these are quibbles in what's otherwise a solid operation.

Four stars out of five. It's not going to revolutionize coffee culture, but it doesn't need to. Ground Up knows what it is: a pretty well-run coffee shop that respects its customers enough to do the basics right while adding just enough flair to keep things interesting. In a world of over-hyped coffee experiences, sometimes that's exactly what you need.

Just remember to wear a sweater if you're sitting by the windows in January. And maybe ask about the health rating, if only to watch them do that little dance that every manager does when caught without their paperwork in order. Trust me, it's more entertaining than whatever latte art they're serving up.“

“Fantastic meal, as always last night!!! My wife and I both had Penne Ala Vodka with chicken cutlets and my son had rigatoni with house red sauce. Enough food for two meals for each of us. Thank you guys for being such a great and friendly restaurant. See you soon!“

“Wanted some authentic Puerto Rican food today, so went to Fabi's restaurant coffee & shop for the first time. Their food is well seasoned and so delicious!“

“Good Morning. Just wanted to say Thank you to the young lady who purchased my breakfast for me Several cars arrived at the drive through at one time. I just allowed her to go in front of me. Your gesture warmed my heart and made me smile. Thank You“

“Ernest is awesome. He heard us talking about how we missed the Dunkaccino & made us a dupe that tasted perfect! Such a kind gesture & it made our morning. It’s rare to find customer service like that these days & it was much appreciated. We will absolutely be back, as we live in Durham, & look forward to seeing Ernest when we do! Cheers!“
