#40 in my NEW ENGLAND & NY COFFEE SHOP SERIES…read more This is an Asian-owned, female-owned bakery and coffee shop with delicious Asian-inspired pastries and fun drinks! We came on a Sunday around 10:30am and they were almost out of some of their pastries. Definitely go there earlier. But that just shows how fresh everything is! Firstly, all of the pastries looked delicious! It was so hard to just pick one so we needed up picking 3. Cheesy hotdog bread, kbbq short rib bread, and a cranberry cream cheese pastry. They were all SOOO GOOD! The bread is so soft and the flavors were delicious. They have lots of fun seasonal drinks, caffeinated and non-caffeinated. They also have boba! I got an ube banana latte and my friend got their seasonal Coquito latte which was recommended. Both were delicious (and very strong). The service was immaculate. I didn't catch the cashier's name but she was younger with brown hair. The sweetest person ever! Definitely made the experience more enjoyable. The owner, Chan also gifted us a piece of delicious oreo cake for fun! It was so yummy and not too sweet. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Today I took the drive to Cozy Cup in Berlin. It's been a little while since I've heard of them,…read morealthough they are newer. This is a small cafe with some desserts and pastries. They also make coffee and fresh juices. It was a bit awkward because I was the only one here. No one stopped by to pick a coffee on the go, or anything. My self and the two ladies working were the only ones here. I got a caramel latte. It was ready quickly. Unfortunately it wasn't very good. It was all milk and caramel syrup, with hardly any coffee at all. It also arrived in a generic paper cup. This is a bit against the "cozy" theme if you ask me. Cozy Cup is cute inside, their pastries might be worth trying, but the coffee was a miss for me.

I recently visited the Cozy Cup (a bakery with some Puerto Rican Roots) because an acquaintance had…read morerecommended them. I walked in and saw the shop was cute. Nobody was in front and I probably waited about 45 seconds before a nice person came out to help me. I sometimes speak of the shock and awe factor when you first see a bakery's case. I wasn't shocked or awed in terms of the number of options and/or quantity of items available, but I bought a few things for my family to try. The best thing was a long pastry stuffed with guava and cheese and topped withsugar crystals. Very tasty. The other items (tres leches cake, banana bread, brownie and pumpkin flan) were all about average. Cozy Cup is fine, but I prefer other bakeries in my general area. 3 Stars

We have now been here multiple times a week and now in our top 3 CT coffee shops for sure!

Their mission is imbued in their staff, products, how they set up their space, and how you order. We came here for breakfast on a weekday and had a lovely experience. They have breakfast and lunch cafe menus (+catering), yummy pastries (cookies, muffins and scones) and various coffees and drinks. We enjoyed the omelette (if you order more than 3 ingredients there's a charge) and the village breakfast which was eggs, potatoes (slightly blackened), sourdough toast (or wheat) and bacon. Prices are fairly standard ($11-14) and portions not very large. The panetonne, toasted coconut, and chocolate chip scones ($5 each) were all good and baked well. The honey latte and hot chocolate (most drinks are $4-8) were also very creamy and delicious, though slightly too sweet for our tastes (made it taste good though!) You order at the counter and then take a table and place a marker with nice words like "love" and then your food is brought to you. The actual space is very inviting, with lots of nooks and crannies (tables with chairs, couches, a fireplace). They also sell t-shirts ($30) and sweatshirts ($40-50?) which are pretty soft material, as well as ground coffee, cards, granola, etc. The other half of their space is their homemade pasta place so it's a unique layout and looked fun as well. There were plenty of customers cycling in and out, many sitting down with a warm drink and a pastry. Parking isn't huge but was not super super small but could be an issue if they got an influx of folks hanging out. Wouldn't blame them though because it's a comfortable place with free wifi. Looking forward to returning! Shopping like Whole Foods, walmart, and Shop Rite are all within a few miles.

A fantastic business concept that makes way for hardworking individuals opening new opportunities and pride in one's Self. The service is spectacular and the servers smile earns an even greater smile in return. On one half of the open and airy space is Beanz and on the other side Pasta Co. Each works in unison. Seating is abundant with open and tucked away spots. Some limited outside seats as well. We have purchased breakfast items and devilishly delicious snacks and beverages. Over at Pasta are fresh dishes for a relaxing bite. There are also take home coolers and freezers for enjoying at home.

I just want to start out by saying that the food is good. The waffles are delicious and there…read morearen't too many places around that make them in that style. However, this place is sneaky about prices. Firstly, They do not list prices on the menu, and after seeing my receipt, I understand why. If you want to add mixed berries to your waffle, they charge you $1.75 per type of berry. I ordered a black tea with a splash of milk, and they charged me the price of a tea latte. They also refuse to give tap water, and make you pay for bottled water- a practice that rubs me the wrong way. It cost nearly $50 for two people to eat breakfast here. Overall, the place isn't terrible, but is not transparent with prices.

The staff are sweet, friendly, and so helpful, especially for first-timers. The waffles are incredible. There are so many options to choose from, so good luck deciding! I had the Berries Insanity fruit-topped waffle and the fruit was honestly the freshest I've ever had. My husband opted for the Gourmand waffle (a Bananas Foster vibe). He opted for a Liège waffle (chewy) and I went with the Brussels waffle (crispier) and both were amazing. Drinks are just as good, from coffee and espresso to tea, matcha, or juice. We also shared a Zinneken's breakfast meal and it was perfectly made. Everything was incrediblly delicious and made for such a great brunch. We can't wait to go back!

They offer a wonderful variety of pastries, breakfast items, and other treats, and their beverage menu is full of creative and delicious options. The seating is thoughtfully designed, with cozy spots for couples as well as larger tables for groups, making it a great place whether you're meeting a friend, working, or just relaxing with a cup of coffee. Even on a Sunday, when it was busy, the service was quick, friendly, and efficient. One thing to keep in mind is parking. I visited on a Sunday, so metered parking wasn't enforced, but during the rest of the week you'll likely need to use street meters. Since it's located on a street lined with popular restaurants, parking may take a little patience. Overall, this place is truly a hidden gem. Great atmosphere, excellent selection, and wonderful service. I would absolutely recommend it 100%!

This cafe is so beautiful inside. You can tell they're inspired by the Middle Eastern culture by the Mosaic Lamps, as well as some traditional items on the menu, such as baklava.

Additionally we got a cappuccino, a mocha, a Strawberry Hibiscus refresher and a Mosaic Cake. Everything was very tasty and everyone was very pleased. The Mosaic Cake was delicious with its dark chocolate base, and it reminded it me that I actually haven't made it in years. We had a very pleasant time at MOTW.

It wasn't very busy when we arrived, the inside was very clean with an upscale feel. They offer breakfast and lunch options, as well as pastries and crapes. My mom got a cappuccino. I got too ahead of myself and got an Italian Soda with cold foam. What I mean is I didn't realize it was an Italian Soda until it was made. This was far too sugary for me. The flavor profiles were there for sure. When I went to bring my drink to the table, it was overflowing, this was also a large portion. This was a huge miss, but it's my fault for not paying attention to what I was ordering. I'm sure they could craft a tasty latte using some of those flavors. My mom said her cappuccino was pretty good. I might stop by in the future and get something more to my liking.
