“I use to live in the neighborhood a few years back and this is the only bar I liked. I moved away 6 years ago but still go back there to eat whenever I'm in town. The drinks and food are great. The chef is not always there so call before you go if you want bar food. The Cheese fries with bacon are my fave. Bang for your buck :) Friendly staff.“
“Had to rub my eyes to make sure that I was in New Haven because this restaurant stepped right out of Manhattan. Each dish we enjoyed was recommended by our sever as was the fabulous wine too. The chef introduced himself before seating and checked with us just as our larger plate arrived. He added very much to the overall ambiance.“
“Fabulous food, wonderful atmosphere and great staff. Noise was a bit loud, but being in a booth made all the difference. Our waiter was great, but very busy and he had a lot of tables so it took awhile to order. He was great after that - very attentive and many other helpers. Our 3rd time there and definitely my favorite spot in New Haven!!!“
“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!!“
“I am a huge fan of the sauces, kraut, cauli, and jasmine kombucha to go and how regular fermented foods have improved my health. At the restaurant- everything I have tried is great, including the health shots and I am officially prioritizing getting here for an evening event of sorts - because I just cracked the orange kombucha. Holy moly me oh my goodness… the taste, the effervescence, the smell, the delightful fizz to watch and listen to- it’s a full body experience of what quality consumption by mouth should be. A+++ - I’m cheering for you! Keep going!!“
“Great place to eat at. Prices are great especially for the quality of the food! The owner is very nice and passionate. The restaurant itself is very clean. 10/10 recommend eating here! I wish they were open on Sunday as it’s our last day visiting we would have definitely stopped again! I wish we had a place like this in PA. We will definitely stop again when we come to visit family again.“
“a stunning experience. a friend of mine had a private party here and they made her special day even more special. they catered beef sambousek, maaloubeh (chicken with rice layered), cucumber salad, date pastries, and their hot mint tea. we all forgot to take food pics because we couldn’t wait to dive in. the ambiance is beautiful and home-like. at the end, i bought a rose and jasmine scented candle whose proceeds go towards their cause, and took some lentil soup to go with chopped carrots instead of pita as my side. it was the perfect light dinner after a heftier lunch. the consistency of the lentil soup was like my grandmother’s. 10/10 recommendation.“
“Great place for a coffee and a quick bite to eat. On warm days I love sitting outside where I get a nice cool breeze coming in from the nearby beach, and for days where the weather is less than spectacular, I can relax inside and let the warm atmosphere keep me comfortable.The espresso drinks are fantastic, and the chocolate croissant is a nice mix of buttery pastry with a not too sweet chocolate filling.Parking: Parking is limited directly in front of the store, but you can usually find a spot further down that strip, or park across the street in the few spots they have marked as "15 minutes only"“
“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.“
“Exceptional! Seriously, the owners and the staff wonderful and very kind. The food was surprisingly good, and I would have to say the best fried dough in an empanada I ever had. I tried the sugar emapanada and it was wonderful! All the food is home made, it is absolutely delicious! The best emapanada anywhere! And the prices are unbelievable, usually I pay $5 per empanada, but here it's only $3, wow, Plus their combos are amazing, and amazingly priced. 5 stars. Well deserved.“
“Nice place for a morning. Great food, good service, good atmosphere. I ordered a hot chocolate (not a coffee guy), a Belgium waffle, and a side of bacon. All of that food was amazing and I highly recommend this place if you're bored and hungry in the morning! Good cafe!“
“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!“
“These two gentlemen are truly a blessing to the valley , consoling and taking care of every one for years . I don't know what I would do with out them , greatest coffee I've ever had and class acts , take time and treat your self to the greatest coffee on the planet made with love for the same locals ever day . Thank you Mo and AB you guys brighten my day time and time againGet you some coffee people!!“
“As you can see from my photos- I LOVE this place! These low-cal meal replacement shakes are absolutely delicious AND they give you a complimentary tea (this is one of the only locations that offers tea complimentary). Bonus- there’s a River Walk in the same location so my friend and I usually go for a walk and then head over here for a shake. SoOoOoo good - you won’t be disappointed.“
“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“
“Lovely very friendly staff. Coffee is a solid 4/5, could go for a slightly more flavorful bean, but I happily drank it. Baked items are pretty good as well. It has a decent footprint but not a lot of seating which was fine but they can do better.“
“Best pancakes ever! We drive out of our way to eat breakfast here. The food comes out hot and delicious, and we've always had good service.Kid-friendliness: This is a warm, casual environment with tons of choices for everyone in the family.“
“I can not express how amazing this little Cafe is. Every single time I am here I am so grateful for their amazing service, kindness and delicious food. Every single one of the girls working here are literal angels - thank you for helping to make my stressful Sunday work day the best possible and for helping me start the school year with an amazing assortment of treats for my students. ?? Unlike any other!!!!“
“Went there with a group. It was busy in bar with limited seating so plan ahead. Everyone had a good time and was happy with their food. My doob wings were fantastic as well as the burger. Maddy our server was witty and dealt with our nonsense like a true pro. Definitely coming back.“
“Pistachio is a hidden gem! Everything from the eclectic decor, the heartwarming lattes, and the attentive service it quite simply is the best! Thank you to our server Bella who made our experience top notch! Look forward to future visits and more desserts!“
“Came here for the first time after living in the area for 30 years. It was a fundraiser and was pleasantly surprised how good the food was. This is a local establishment that has many loyal customers, especially during Saint Patrick. They had eggplant rotini , it was delicious. They also had stuffed mushrooms. That were very good. They also had two versions of stuff, potato skins, and breaded fried fried chicken. They were good. Nice small local place to gather and eat good bar food.“
“Pretty comfy coffee shop feel... Good cold brew. You clear your own plate but staff is friendly enough.The inside has a bit of a cramped layout but a great downtown homey feel to it.Parking: Parking mostly across street at train station or farther down on the street“
“Happened to stumble on to this place. I'm always keeping an eye out for health spots or juice/smoothie spots; and this place is phenomenal. I've visited here on two separate occasions and both experiences were very friendly. They are knowledgeable and have a positive energy and atmosphere. I truly enjoyed talking with them about health & fitness as well as local small talk. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a great smoothie and/or tea.“
“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.“
“The absolute best experience we have ever had when planning a party. We were hosting a number of people who would be dropping in a different times during the hours of the party. Paula took the time to help us chose foods that would have appeal to all palates. She also suggested items that made sure that we were including needs for all dietary types. We were floored how gorgeous the presentation was. The fruit and cheese tray was a bountiful combination of fruit, a vibrant floral presentation, a spectrum of cheeses of all varieties, and sweet honey that made our guests believe that had truly experienced nectar of the gods. The stuffed breads were fully packed with delicious goodness. Beef tenderloin was succulent and cooked to perfection. Paula’s lasagna was a culinary piece of artwork: the added creamy bechamel sauce enhanced the rich flavor of the beef bolognese sauce nestled between the fresh lasagna noodles. We chose a rigatoni for the vodka sauce and it proved to be a formidable vehicle to cling onto the vodka sauce. Each pasta noodle carried with it the subtle sweetness that occurs when you marry the tomatoes, cream and vodka. For those who wanted a lighter entree, we chose lemon chicken. Each serving included a generous perfectly pounded breast that was lightly coated with a sweet butter sauce and topped with a hint of fresh lemon that bursted with flavor on your taste buds. The summer-veggies were grilled to perfection. We can’t say enough about how happy we were to hire Cafe George by Paula. We did not have to worry about the food presentation or there being enough variety. It made it easier to just participate with our guests and enjoy the event. We are already looking forward to our next party so we can book Paula 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.“
“Sad. No one wants to attend to you. Need new bartenders who enjoy the art of mixology and people. ...,. Heavy D is in the kitchen. This season hopefully the outdoor patio will be expanded and muscle marinara mimosas could be served on Sunday mornings. Looking forward to it. I love this place.“
