My wife and I visited this café after reading positive reviews and were genuinely looking forward to the experience. Unfortunately, it fell well short of our expectations.

The most troubling part was how our order was handled. After waiting about 15 minutes, we noticed that every other customer’s name was called out when their order was ready—except my wife’s. Instead, the server only called out the names of the two drinks. When my wife asked to confirm whether they were hers, the server responded curtly that “the name is on the cup.”

That interaction left us uncomfortable and confused. Whether it was due to fear of mispronouncing her name, embarrassment, or something more concerning, we’ll never know. In today’s climate, experiences like this unfortunately raise questions about whether one is being singled out, and no customer should be left feeling that way.

As for the food and drinks: the double chocolate scone was dry and more cake-like than expected. The London Fog was acceptable, but the black iced tea was unexpectedly flavored.

Overall, between the uncomfortable service experience and the underwhelming quality, this is not a place we will be returning to.

fresh coffee and pastries;

I found this place and decided I'd try and support a local business instead of going to Dunkin' for my coffee. I went in and ordered a cold brew, and they FILLED the cup with ice and then poured a couple of ounces of coffee in it! When I asked if I could have less ice and more coffee (the price is easily double dunkin', I feel justified in asking), I was treated like I was personally stealing their rent money. It was barely a couple of sips worth of coffee, I got basically nothing and was gouged. Guess I'll go back to Dunkin' from now on, at least when I pay for coffee there I actually get some, and when I ask for less is I'm not insulted by the staff.

Ashlawn Farm Coffee is a beautiful staple of Old Saybrook and the Shoreline. I've been coming here almost every week since I moved to town in 2017. Drinks and food are always great. Everyone I've interacted behind the counter is super nice and welcoming as well. Highly recommend!!! 💖

Went for a Quad. Two double shots latte. Found this coffee shoppe on Google Maps on the way to mystic. Glad I stopped here.
Place is cute. Plenty of seating. Interesting decorations. Great vibe. People sitting at tables both inside and out having conversations, and some people on computers.
Latte was great. Very strong. I like the flavor of the beans. If I am in the area again this will be my go to.

Very relaxed atmosphere, not too crowded, super friendly staff. Good food with simple 18-hole mini golf course out back. Nice hole in the wall out of the way of the crowded area. Worth dropping in to relax :)
