Coffee Shops near North Branford

“Quick fix for lunch on the go“

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

“This place is so cute and cozy. I went for one of my friends' performance as a music artist, and it made me wish i lived closer to it. It's about an hour away from where I live, so I can't go often, but I'll definitely drop by any time I'm in the area. They have chalkboard walls full of drawings and writing from locals, lots of cozy seating, and an atmosphere made for talking with people.“

“Cute little coffeeshop with very good coffee“

“Wanted to check out a new cafe and I found this one right by my house. Absolutely amazing, I had a red velvet latte and a breakfast burrito, I went there with my sister and son , we loved everything: the service, the food, the atmosphere, def will be going back!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“As someone who is a total specialty latte fiend, I’m always chasing the next great coffee. I usually drive all the way to Wallingford because I love places that make house-made syrups, fun cold foams, and creative toppings. It’s just my thing. Coffee makes me happy and I happily stay caffeinated. That said, I cannot believe it took me this long to try Pop Pops Coffee Shop here in town. I ordered the Nutty Irishman latte and I’m not exaggerating when I say it might have been the best latte I’ve ever had. The syrup was perfectly sweet but tasted so fresh and natural. Nothing artificial at all. You can really tell when something is made with care. The rotating specialty latte menu sounds amazing too. I’m honestly sad the Nutty Irishman won’t be on the menu forever because it was that good. But judging by the other drinks they’re planning, I feel like I’m going to discover a new favorite every week. I also had the chance to meet the owner and he was incredibly kind. It’s just really nice to see a young local business creating such a welcoming space for people to hang out, relax, work on their laptops, or just enjoy great coffee. The girl working there was also the sweetest. We actually ran into her twice and she was just as friendly both times. Northford is lucky to have this place. Everyone in town should be showing up and supporting them. Great people, great atmosphere, and incredible coffee. I already know I’m going to become a regular and they’re definitely going to start recognizing me soon. Highly recommend stopping in. You won’t regret it“

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

“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. )“

“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!“

“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!“

“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! 👍“

“Good espresso and friendly service“

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

“I unknowingly drove by this place for years until my Fiance said it was a must.

Breakfast Burrito was phenomenal. And my Fiance got the blueberry pancakes. Cooked perfectly and somehow didn’t need butter.

It feels like you’re eating at your cool aunts house in her 3 seasons room. Also have outdoor seating.

I’ll be back for lunch sooner than I care to admit.“

“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!“

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

“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!!“

“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!!“

“Great wait staff Food was delish“

“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!“

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

“Man , honestly hasn't changed at all since I needed a highchair, I still to this day use there home frys as the basis for all to hope too be some what close to..I remember being with my Great Grandfather, my Great uncle Bernie, and my father (all of whom have passed away) I might live in Minneapolis MN now but I am fortunate that the memories are in my mind forever .

“I WALKED IN AND IMMEDIATELY SAW THE HEART SHAPED 🍩 DONUTS. I SAID HELLO HOW WE DOING TODAY THE YOUNG GENTLEMAN AT THE REGISTER WAS VERY POLITE AND UPBEAT. I LIKED THE KIND OF DEMEANOR IN YOUNG PEOPLE SERVING THE PUBLIC. I TOLD HIM POLITELY HOW TO MAKE MY ICED ☕️ COFFEE AND HE DID IT PERFECT.I WAS LOOKING FOR A DOLLAR IN CHANGE CAUSE I ONLY HAD A 5 DOLLAR 💵 BILL FOR A TIP. I FOUND ALMOST A DOLLAR I PAID FOR MY COFFEE ☕️ AND DONUT WITH MY DEBIT CARD AND TOLD MYSELF DO IT I GRABBED THE 5 DOLLAR BILL AND TOLD HIM TO TELL HIS BOSS HE GOT A FIVE DOLLAR 💵 TIP FOR BEING AWESOME AND MAKING MY ICED COFFEE 👍 GREAT. CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF.“

“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.“

“Everything is great from food to service. Thanks again everyone for great experiences and thanks to my wonderful friend for recommending me this place“

“Bien atendidos“

“Ernest is a very kind manager ..he knows customer service ..treating customers in a kind friendly manner brings us coming back ..he reminded me it was free donut day my last visit ..and made a fresh pot of hot decaf that was probably the best cup of coffee I had in a long while .. the store is clean and I love the outdoor seating .I really love dropping into this location and am always happy to see Ernest ..“

“I always stop here on the way to work. The morning staff is usually friendly and I always get my order fast and right. It's usually pretty busy at that time but the staff always does their best to keep the line moving.“

“After 8 months of living here I can finally say I've found the best Dunkin in the tritown area. At every other dunkin I can expect there to be 2 people working and wait anywhere from 10 to 25 minutes. This establishment is well maintained, adequately staffed, has a sleek interiors and friendly staff. I ordered an iced coffee and a 25 count of munckins. The order was completed in < 4 minutes or less. Like cmon? Does it get better than that?! Now every time I want to treat my weekly case group to a sweet treat I will be SURE to visit this dunkin.“

“Convenient locations.....“

“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“
