As the address might indicate, Shearwater Coffee Roasters lies in a small industrial complex that…read morehouses small and medium-sized businesses. This location is where the Shearwater beans are actually roasted (in 20lb batches, which counts as "really small" in the coffee industry). When I came by, I received a friendly and enthusiastic greeting from the personnel on site, who expressed no annoyance at being diverted from their normal wholesale activities. Shearwater has good beans, and those beans are roasted with care. I came in for some ground coffee that I could use while visiting Central Connecticut and walked away with a full pound of roasted coffee in the bean, 12oz of ground coffee, and a cold brew coffee to drink on my way back. The cold brew was delicious, and I liked the ground coffee (Honduras, I think) as well. The unground coffee made its way down to Philadelphia, where it's giving great pleasure to its recipients. Although Shearwater has espresso machines and some pour-over equipment on site, only the cold brew was available to retail customers like me. That was fair enough, but still somehow disappointing. If you're around Trumbull and are looking for some excellent coffee to take home, head directly to Shearwater without passing Go. Check their hours before you do, though; note for example that they close at 2PM on Fridays.

There aren't many coffee shops in this area, so I was intrigued to see such a highly-rated spot on…read moreYelp. As it turns out, this location isn't as much a cafe as a coffee tasting room. That being said, they always have at least one coffee brewing. On this early weekday afternoon, I got a 12 ounce of the Running Rapids (usually their cold brew) for $3.19. As other Yelpers have mentioned, there's no milk or sugar, leading to a pure and complex coffee experience. After letting it cool a bit, it was very deep and flavorful. It was nice to see a bit of the operation since the space is open. There are a few shelves with coffee accessories and a few stools for perching.

I worked at Titanic Coffee from March to early June, and I can honestly say it's a lovely and…read moresupportive family-owned business. The managers, who also own the deli next door, care deeply about both their staff and customers. It's a warm environment with a genuine community feel -- definitely the kind of place where you can sit down, relax, and enjoy your food or drink without feeling rushed. The staff is highly trained and super accommodating with any drink or food modifications you might want. Whether you're picky about your latte or have dietary needs, they'll make sure you get exactly what you want. One thing that always stood out to me was how spotless everything was -- the espresso machines are cleaned daily, blenders washed after every use, and food is always handled with gloves and hair tied up. Sanitation and quality are clearly top priorities. While I did experience some challenges as an employee, mainly due to a bit of a learning curve and limited training at the start, I can confidently say that as a customer, you'll receive excellent service and a consistently great experience. It's a small business run with heart, and that's something you can feel the moment you walk in.

Visit Date: May 15, 2021…read more I came upstate with my cousin and my father to visit my friend Jon and his girlfriend. Jon posted about his titanic coffee because they live in the area and I wanted to try it. My father treated all of us and gave about $60 to the coffee shop for the day. I forgot what drink I had but I liked it, they also had gluten free wrap options so I got the chicken Caesar salad wrap which was awesome I don't have wraps often because sometimes a gluten free option isn't around and a chicken Caesar salad wrap is one of my favorites. They did a good job. My son had some ice cream and enjoyed it, I think my dad enjoyed his food too so did my cousin. The gimick of this shop if you want to call it a gimick is that they have $6 reproduction prints of the article and newspaper of the Titanic sinking. That's why they call themselves Titanic coffee. If you're in the area I'd recommend coming here and I'd even recommend it if you're like me and just like to drive out of the way for stuff on day trips here and there to get some different scenery.

I'm cheering for quartertone. The potential is huge. But they are fighting a few disadvantages…read more One - they exist within a shared environment. They are some sort of subtenant of the owl market. While this allows them to focus exclusively on coffee, it does create a bit of a disjointed feeling between the food service and the coffee service. However, given that the owl's food is very good, it does not necessarily detract from the overall experience. The roast: it's a bit of an esoteric roast, leaning into the sour cherry type profile. While it would probably do well at an esoteric espresso competition, I personally find it to be a challenge when paired with milk. This is a problem since my primary focus is on milk-based espresso drinks. I wish they would offer a somewhat more traditional roast. My primary descriptor for their espresso is "sour". Finally, while they do have a skilled barista on staff, he is only there part-time. It is imperative, in my opinion, that a coffee shop with this type of positioning ALWAYS have a skilled barista on staff.

What can I say that would be sufficient to express the love I have for this new company (started up…read morein spring 2021) that sells through the mails the finest, most pleasurable coffee I have ever tasted? When I received my first order, I was bowled over by the packaging alone. The bags fit into the cardboard mailing pouch so snugly, and the metal clasps that close the bags are the finest I have ever encountered. Care. Clearly great barrels of care go into this concern. And the flavors offered are numerous and rich and satisfying. The back stories of the individual types of beans available (with names such as "Ponticello," "The Falls," "Mexico Oaxaca," "La Ventolera," and "Nano Chall" -- all of which I have cherished for their tastes) make for fascinating reading and history, all of which is discoverably on the company's website, quartetonecoffee.com. And on ever bag is an original work of art that the owners screen print by hand. Go to the website. See and explore. And take the chance of finding what I did: a source of coffee that I will not ever let go of. And join in the singing of the praises for this one-of-a-kind company. Don Berman
