“The staff is incredibly friendly, upbeat, and helpful. Above all, the bagels and shmears are nonpareil!!! The best anywhere. I’m sad that I don’t live in New Haven anymore.Vegetarian options: I think the majority of spreads are vegetarian“
“Love them! The dozen donuts is $15.99. You don't wanna buy donuts at Dunkin anymore lol Because it's way better and bigger but about same price. They are busy and small place, you should check their menu ahead. I was there at 12:30 on regular Tuesday and already some donuts what I wanted were run out... ;( Wish they have more! But I'm looking forward to visit again!“
“every drink i order here is always delicious, and as if magic, always comes out at the perfect drinking temperature. the staff are super friendly and always a pleasure to interact with. the atmosphere is unique and chill feeling. there is no better coffee out there, this is hands down the place to go!!“
“Very nice staff, coffee bar with tasty selection of pastries. Would be a nice spot to walk to and have a cappuccino while reading or journaling. (good playlist on the internet radio too.) (they also have hot cocoa for the non-coffee drinkers)“
“Lovely little spot with delicious food and drinks! We showed up at 10:30 on a Sunday and got a table after only about 5 min of waiting. The cardamom latte was delicious, as were the California sandwich and the mushroom/squash crepe. Staff were extremely friendly as well!“
“I mean come on; the specials? The staff? The coffee? I’m not sure it gets better anywhere in New Haven county. Heck I’m not sure there’s many better in the state!Always a great time coming here, we never leave with anything but a smile.“
“Gather is a wonderful new spot. The atmosphere is welcoming and cozy, and it's a great place to meet people for coffee. They have excellent coffee, tea, and delicious pastries and baked goods. They also frequently have all kinds of events. I really enjoyed going to a tea and mediation one week and an open mic the week after. Check this place out and bring your friends!“
“Stopped by today for the first time and was truly impressed! They used coffee infused ice cubes in my ice coffee which is super rare and I very much appreciated. The donuts were also incredible- super fresh tasting. The lemon donut was one of the best donuts I've ever tried- not overpowering and not artificial tasting. The service was also great. Will absolutely be back to try more stuff.“
“Cute little joint for a quick brew. There is technically seating but it's tiny- think garden shed- so I'd recommend you grab and go. Nice waitstaff, especially the older gentleman. Would try the middle eastern pastries, as they seem to be locally made fresh, while the baked goods are more standard.“
“We drove 80 miles to see a concert, and were so happy to sneak into Crepes Choupette moments before closing time. The gentleman working solo welcomed us in and basically gave us personal chef service. As he masterfully crafted our meals, he sang along (perhaps subliminally) to the beautiful French music that seemed to inspire his culinary creations! He was charming, and emulated a love for his job that flowed out as love for his customers. We doubled his tip without batting an eye, and were actually surprised to find out he wasn’t the owner! We loved the Choupette, the Norvegienne, the Piaf, and whatever the other one we had was… all amazing!“
“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!!“
“Warm & Inviting atmosphere. I have been here(with friends) several times already, and plan on returning. Staff are hard working, and the owner Amanda is “Down to earth” …and also passionate about her business. Very personable to all of her customers. I have had the the medium (and dark roast)coffee….and enjoy both.“
“Best Video is amazing! We canceled all our streaming services and got a BV membership instead. We always find great picks for family movie night here, and it’s also a great space for discovering films both new and old. It’s also a great community space — they host wonderful events where the regulars know each other, and the staff always greet me by name when I come in. Love this place!“
“Met some friends here for the first time this past Sunday and we had a great experience. The place was jamming! We almost couldn’t find a seat. During the warmer months they have seating outside too but It’s a bit early in the season, so we were told. The atmosphere was lively and busy.The staff were attentive and the drinks were delicious. We ordered the flight of course and then had a few more. My personal favorite was the Cookie Monster! Liquid crack for lack of a better term is the best way to describe it. If you don’t like sweet than you definitely want to stick to a traditional espresso martini. The presentation was great and our entire group was happy. We will be returning. Thank you Yellow Kings Brews!“
“If I could give more than 5 stars I absolutely would! I've been here many times and it's unbelievable but we hosted a bridal shower there today and it was beyond fabulous!!! From the super amazing staff, to the delicious food and the beautiful decor it was definitely a day to remember!“
“Just popped over to the cafe to grab a bite after reading reviews and was NOT disappointed! Tom was at the register and simply a pleasure to talk to. He recommended one of their egg sandwiches which was delicious (this means a lot coming from someone who isn’t a huge egg fan!); toasted with garlic salt, real white cheddar, a fried egg, and bacon- yum! Also grabbed a dirty chai and some fruit/walnut biscotti. Truth be told I’m having a hard time picking a favorite; the atmosphere and friendliness combined with the dynamite food will definitely make Cedarhurst my go to spot for traveling here in the future!“
“This was my very first time in this one particular and I was very much impressed with its cleanliness, elegance, and a majority of the presentation of their baked goods. 4 out of 5!!!! I’m terribly sorry that you lost a star but that matcha brownie tasted absolutely disgusting. Never again will I buy it!!! Sorry sweetheart but it’s lacking sugar. However I do love the sweet cream filled bread you sold me. Thank you very much for helping me figure out what I want for breakfast tomorrow. Lastly, the cream green tea cake was absolutely divine. All this from being served by an incredibly gorgeous and really cashier/manager who I had to tip handsomely. I’ll definitely stop by on payday to give their specialty caffeinated drinks a try.“
“Quality of coffee: 4 - good espresso drinks. I've tried them a couple dozen times and they have become more consistent this past year or so. There are flavoring options like hazelnut etc. Coffee (black) is slightly above average. Atmosphere: 4.5 - great seating areas and nooks in a historic hotel. Usually, students are studying at the various tables. Location: 5 - heart of downtown within walking distance to hundreds of restaurants and great bus/train service. Service: 5 - helpful staffValue: 4 - decent pricing Average: 4.5I can't recommend food options, as I've only had coffee here.“
“Choice of 2 roasts available in both hot and cold brew, which is great since I prefer dark over medium any day. A decent selection of cookies, biscotti, muffins, etc. It's tough to spot from the road, so use your gps. Will definitely go back.“
“What a lovely story of the beginning of a sweet little spot! The baguettes are absolutely perfect! The SCONES are a real treat! Coffee is flavorful and steamed milk with every cup! Hard to choose, although the grilled veg on focaccia and tropical salad are my go to. I once had a Tuna Nicoise Baguette it's still one of my all time favorite sandwiches! Of course the Service is excellent!“
“The dining room was adorable and comfortable. The food was delicious. I had the eggs Benedict, and everything was amazing - The eggs were cooked beautifully, the hollandaise was super tasty, the potatoes were crispy and well seasoned. Easily the best breakfast I've had since moving back to CT about a year ago.I also ordered the frozen matcha drink. It was good, really rich, but not super strong on the matcha flavor.Parking: Funcle's is part of a plaza and parking seems to be a bit of a grab bag. We found parking quickly, but noticed some confusion in the parking lot as more folks arrived to the lot.“
“Love this place. ❤️ Everyone there is like family and always so kind and nice. The Barista there MacKenzie makes the best drinks. My favorite drink is Chai tea latte with a cheese pastry. Love telling my coworkers about Kaiyden's coffee.“
“This place is so cute and clean, I love the atmosphere and the creative coffees they offer. The espresso is rich and creamy, and the brand of syrup they use is top-tier! Highly recommend.Dietary restrictions: Non-dairy milk alternatives available“
“Bean and Berry is a special place with a special owner that truly cares about the product she puts out and the service she provides. The coffee with nutella/peanut butter cold foam and the dragon fruit smoothie bowl are DELICIOUS! I’ve never had something I didn’t like. Give it a try and support local!“
“A very nice place for a cup of coffee and a chat. Pastries and sandwiches are pretty good, the atmosphere is lively and pleasant. A downside is that there are very few tables so in cold weather you're likely to get stuck standing. (In summer you can sit on the beautiful green across the street.)“
“First timers. My wife and I like to visit different local coffee shops on Sundays. Very cute, clean place. I had an iced mocha latte and wife had hot mocha latte. Coffee flavor was very good. For a fairly new start up, I was very impressed, my only constructive criticism would be to offer more extras in the form of syrups to add to coffees. And I think adding frappes to the menu would definitely bring in a lot more customers during warm weather. I have a personal favorite of frappe that I helped another coffee shop(Cheshire) create and everyone that has gone there, or that I have made at home, call it their “crack” of all coffees(frappes). I will certainly be returning to Ground Up Coffee and with hopes of seeing one of the owners and I can share my favorite and additional extras which I feel would bring in a whole other group of customers. A very good and friendly place.“
“I can't believe I had to come all the way to New Haven to get good Puerto Rican food.I got a recommendation to try this place out. I'm glad I did. It has a complete PR feel. The owner greeted me as I came through the door. Everything looked amazing. I just hope it tastes as it looks.There are so many choices. Everything is fresh and made to order, pretty much. I ordered the rice and beans and Carne Frita.This place just happened, he told me. He had been coming here since he was a young man. They left the island and ended up here for good. He decided to open up a restaurant with his wife. This place is authentic. The meals are mix and match. Anyway you want them. People came in asking for different combinations, and there was never an issue. You want beans on the rice and gandules? OK. Whatever you want, they will try and serve. The prices are awesome for the amount of food they give you.For dessert, I got a quesito. It brought me right back to the islands. The whole meal was excellent. The service is outstanding. The whole place gives you a feel of the islands. Everybody who came in while I was there seemed excited to order and eat. I loved it so much that I came back the next morning for coffee and a pastry.I recommend.“
“Cute little place, it has acai bowls, smoothies but also toast and different snacks. They told me everything was gluten free. I wanted to know if their oats were certified gf, so they called someone and told me they were. Staff wasn’t really well trained on gluten or their ingredients, but they were willing to inform elsewhere and maybe they just started when I got there. I felt assured enough to order (have celiac/gluten allergy)I got a almond butter acai bowl that was delicious. Downside was that the acai bowl wasn’t properly mixed, got some big frozen chunks of strawberry still in there. But overall good experience.“
“Legacy is the best!! I am there everyday to get my protein shake and full mega tea! Marta and Iris are amazing and so welcoming to everyone who steps foot in the door! Every shake and tea are awesome (trust me i’ve tried them all!) Support your local small businesses!“
“Truly the best coffee in New Haven. Great pour over selections and the most talented baristas I have seen on the espresso side. Great spot to spend an afternoon with friends or alone, good place to work. They now serve wine at night Thursday to Saturday“
“I stumbled upon pedals at a farmer's market. I really enjoyed the juice, but had completely forgotten about them having store fronts until I dug out the bottle to figure out how to get more juice! I found the location in Durham to visit. I love the sweet green juice, and tried to the apple juice the other day. They're a bit pricey, but delicious. The smoothies were also great! Service is friendly, location is light and bright. Great place to sit and d enjoy and smoothie, bowl, or juice.“
“Last week was my first time at Loose Leaf in Wallingford and I had a few questions about the drinks, etc. i spoke with a worker named Lydia, she was so helpful answering all my questions, super friendly and in general just very nice and welcoming, she really made the experience. The tea was good too!“
“This is one of the best DDs ! The service is always good, the crew is very friendly and polite and they work well together, including when there's people out the door. They keep it moving, I will go out of my way just to buy my everything bagel from these folks..“
“During lunch break from having to serve jury duty I found this coffee shop down the street and decided to pop in. The two behind the counter were very friendly and inviting, and the special grilled cheese with tomato or bacon with soup was PERFECT . the chicken corn chowder came out piping hot and didn't even need any salt or pepper. I'm usually skeptical when someone has to make my coffee instead of me doing it, but unlike dunkin donuts the gentleman made it just right! they seem to have a familiar and friendly customer fan base, and I would definitely go back again.“
“Nice coffee + food, fun atmosphere and nice staff. I really, really enjoy their pour-overs. Recently, I was feeling a little festive and found their pumpkin spice latte surprisingly delicious as well - very cohesive and flavorful, and not overly sweet.“
“What a beautiful quaint spot. Very elegant and lovely. You enter to either be seated or order at the register. I ate in and service was great. I had the Caprese panini and added chicken. It came with the fries. The food was great. The vegetables were a surprise. It was pickled and really good. I had Harvest Green Smoothie made with almond milk. LOVED IT! This place I highly recommend.“
“I've been going here for years and the food is always great. I enjoy their chicken tenders and fries meal when I want lunch and there are a ton of great breakfast options. Depending on the day, it can get pretty crowded here though. It's great on weekdays or off hours on weekends, but during peak brunch time, I would not go here with a large group.Parking: The parking lot is free and a very short walk from Brown Stone House, but during peak hours, you may not find a spot. There are other free parking lots nearby though and the nearby restaurants don't all have the same busy times as Brown Stone House, so that helps.“
“Matcha tea latte, jasmine green tea, and Nutella latte were perfect! Yummy pastries here as well. A larger space for a city but very crowded with people on laptops doing work and large furniture pieces. I felt my stroller was in everyone's way but also couldn't leave it outside since the sidewalk was smaller than normal due to snow. There is also a step up to enter the cafe. The baby changing table is downstairs in a dark hallway (not inside a restroom). The one working restroom was dim as well but smelt like cleaning products and looked clean which was nice.Kid-friendliness: A little small for strollers but you can always squeeze one in and park it near you. Changing table downstairs is in the dark hallway. Nice chairs and couches for a toddler to sit on but more stress that they'll spill something on it.“
“Local small-town coffee shop filled with great food and drinks. The baristas remember your name and order if you are a regular customer. Best chai latte around & life-changing cinnamon scones!Parking: Parking lot is always busy - parking is available at the gas station next-door or across the street in the Rite Aid parking lot.“
“This was hands down one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. My special guy's father is friend's with the owner & we brought family visiting from Italy for dinner. This was my first time trying the food, everything was delicious, portions huge. You can order larger, family style meals several days in advance & it's BYOB (love it). I was very surprised by everything as the outside along with the name of the restaurant doesn't remotely sound like an Italian restaurant. I would definitely take the ride just to eat here again.“
“My family was in NH for the first time and I immediately searched desserts in the area.This place did not disappoint. They of course have sweets, but there are a few savory options as well.I told the young lady at the register that it was my first time there, and she was very helpful at making suggestions. We loved everything we tried.The display was beautiful and the shop was clean and comfortable.“
“They have sour cream donuts! My wife loves them. I'm a fan of their frosted donuts and their iced coffee. They use frozen coffee instead of regular water ice cubes. Super delicious and nicely cafinated. The folks who work there are always friendly.“
“disregard everyone talking about customer service. it’s literally only just a mom and her two kids who run this place. so yeah i’m sure it can get stressful for them at times but in the end the food is always good and they are always polite.“
“A great addition to the East Rock cafe scene! I love ordering the cafe au lait and a good sandwich while sitting either indoors or out on their patio and people watching in between working on my laptop. A great place to meet friends or clients with plenty of free street parking around. Service is super quick and friendly as well! A go-to for me!“
“I cherish this little place as a second home and stand behind the quality as well as the fantastic service of the good souls who work there. The drinks are fantastic and the food is always fresh. I get a egg n cheese with tomato and sriracha on a poppyseed bagel, and its bomb. Fast and friendly, consistently so.“
“I am not sure I've ever had any food here, but you know what I have had?Coffee that makes me feel like I'm going to pierce the veil between universes. There's coffee and then there's Willoughby's coffee, which will make you shake and talk to the Face of God.Ambiance is fine, it's a small spot so its almost impossible to find a seat because this is basically on Yale's campus, which means you're competing with people who are about to have a nervous breakdown and haven't slept in two weeks, so probably not worth losing an arm.But the coffee. Hooo boy the coffee. If you want to wake up, and never, ever sleep again, this is it.“
“When I come here on some mornings the lady who does the drive through mostly through the week is so pleasant and polite. I had a terrible morning this morning and just her being so positive and kind is uplifting. She takes pride in what she does and dunkin should feel lucky to have her.“
“I have never had anything that wasn't enjoyable to eat here. I love the Crostini Hash that is homemade. Their French toast is fabulous. And there is nothing like their sausage and peppers ( no green peppers on red so it's not bitter) I can't say enough about this place, small and local,“
“I have been coming to chesire coffee for a couple years now. My favorite thing has always been the atmosphere. Until recently, the shop has always been a cozy, warm and quaint little coffee shop. As of 3/19/2024, the shop seems to be doing some sort of renovation and I'm afraid it seems to be going the way of every other "modern" competing coffee shop. The work is not complete so I'm not 100% sure of what the finished product will be, however, the cozy couches, chairs, corky pictures and rugs are all gone.This coffee shop in a small way, without sounding too cheesy, is a perfect representation of a small New England coffee shop. It would be a shame if it tries to change all of that, all in the name of a "refreshing look". Not every new look needs to be different shades of grey with minimalist design features.“
“I am not getting all of these negative reviews!!! We go every day! The employees are so awesome and nice. My order is ALWAYS correct. If I could have one complaint, why are they not allowed tips? All of the other Dunkin Donuts allow it.....these poor employees have to deal with upscale snobby people, they should be treated and respected....let them earn their deserved tips!“
