I’ll say it. This is the best coffee shop in New Canaan and probably for an at least 25 mile radius. The coffee, which you can see where they roast, is delicious. I just had the super friendly barista fill up my 26 ounce bottle with Latte for an outrageously fair price. The vibes they’ve curated in this refurbished garage are immaculate, with plants everywhere and dope coffee gear at two bars.

Just do yourself a favor and come here.
Wonderfully crafted capuchino made with love and intent. One of the best ever!

Edit: Went back the following morning (sunday) and got mediocre service from a different batista. He refused to make what we had ordered the day before, and what he did make was not good. I will leave it as 5 stars because the first visit was SO GOOD! But the inconsistency from one day to the next is alarming.
Ilse is top notch, knowledgeable and friendly Baristas, carefully constructed drinks, and a wonderful vibe. We try to stop in here every time we are in the area and usually pickup their beans at Atticus in New Haven. You can tell that they really care about the beans and the experience. Do yourself a favor and go!
