Naming their coffee shop and drinks after their great nieces and nephews. It was a cozy little shop with so many options.

Can't wait to try the coconut water coffee! :)

The experience was disappointing from start to finish. The staff came across as cold and…read moreunwelcoming, which set a negative tone right away. All of the food arrived cold, and our table was initially given the wrong order. After it had already been handled, the staff took it back and served it to another table, which raised serious concerns about hygiene. My cappuccino was also served cold, and the coffee itself was very acidic and not enjoyable. Instead of making a new one, they poured it into another cup and reheated it with the steaming wand--even though I had already taken a sip. That felt unsanitary and unprofessional. Overall, there were multiple issues that suggest poor food handling practices. I wouldn't return.

The matcha itself was a bit more bitter and astringent than i'm used to and it didn't pair well with the passion fruit which was quite sour. So the drink was not my favorite. Perhaps other flavor combos are better, but I would prefer to go somewhere else for matcha.

The drink was super delicious with a good amount of sweet and chocolate taste. The Cold foam was amazing!! And the highlight of it was the coffee itself, it was a Turkish style coffee that tasted different from most traditional shops. It was really smooth while also being a solid caffeine source! Overall a great cafe that I'd easily comeback to! Drink(50%): 9.3 Staff/service(25%): 7.0 Value(25%): 7.0 Overall: 8.2/10

#17 in my NEW ENGLAND & NY COFFEE SHOP SERIES…read more A small little hole in the wall, family run coffee shop right in the heart of downtown New Haven. This place is definitely a grab and go coffee shop since there is only 1 bar stool to sit inside and it's so small. Just enough room to walk in and order. They have street parking in front, no lot though. They have all your classic coffee shop drinks including some specialty ideas for a normal price. I got my usual iced vanilla latte and it was really sweet. I honestly would get it again or come here again but glad I tried it!

This was some good coffee!…read more This was our first stop off the train from NYC. We needed a pick me up and energy for that infamous food crawl we were about to get into. So thankful it was in the quiet and quaint neighborhood of New Haven. Such a beautiful area. Very close to all the spots I had bookmarked. Cool coffee shop I gotta say. Spacious and clean. Just the actual vibe alone was relaxing. This is one of those locations where you can actually come sit and not be bothered. Few people inside were working on their laptops, some were just conversing with their friends. The barista was super friendly and worked fast. One thing I noticed and was wowed on was they serve wine as well. I mean how cool is that. Felt like I was at France for a minute, where the cafes serve coffee, tea and qwasonts during the day, and cocktails at night. Very chill. Can't thank them enough for how clean the bathroom was as well. All in all great coffee and service.

Not a lot of favor and no sweet at all which I thought that was interesting. The server did over to add more honey but I opted out because I was in a rush. They seemed business though.

It has a cozy, small town, eclectic feel that makes it a fun spot to grab a drink and take a break. I got the maple hojicha latte with oat milk, and I really enjoyed it. The roasted hojicha flavor came through nicely, while the maple added a subtle sweetness without overpowering the tea. I liked that the drink still had the distinctive hojicha flavor rather than tasting like a super-sweet maple latte. Staff is super friendly and patient with me as I took some time to decide on my order. A fun spot to stop if you're looking for something a little different from the usual coffee spots.

Employees mainly keep to themselves but are super friendly and helpful if you have questions or ask for recommendations. There is plenty of seating inside but a lot of customers grab and go. I've been to the location several times at different times of the day. If you're looking for the most varieties available I would recommend coming and staying around 10am. Since they have to bake and individually wrap many of the items, they typically restock around that time daily. The only thing I wouldn't recommend unless you like hot dogs are the "sausage" options. Fancier named but a tad on the disappointed end. The mushroom onion cheese pastry was delicious!! I love that their drinks aren't overly sweet either.

There were packaged items,hot items and cold items as well. I ordered a honey lavender macchiato and it was absolutely delicious. They took my order and then called me when it was ready. It was a little bit loud in there so I didn't head her call my name but it was still hot when I went and checked to see if she called me. That was not her fault. I could have stayed closer. You need a code for the restroom and there is only one single stall. The code is on the bottom of your receipt. I really like that each thing lists ingredients and calories. I love when places do that!

Then came back to ask how'd I knew when it was ready. I then asked for a timeline, and they couldn't find my order, so they remade it then. Opened the whitefish sandwich, which was basically a TINY bit of whitefish, which you see only in this hole; the rest was lettuce. Really disappointing, but I've I actually came back to point it out, they remade it again. Odd, since they did it immediately and "pleasantly", but no apology or anything, as it seemed they were just in a crazy rush, lost my order, then haphazardly remade it. The cacio bagel was very fresh and tasty. Not sure I'd go back to ever deal with this again though.

This location was on the corner with steep steps; just a note, it's not wheelchair accessible. We were walking by and needed our caffeine fix. A family member also recommended the coffee shop to us, and has been going for years. Inside, there were a few tables to sit at. The customer service was good. I ordered a medium iced latte and it was good. It's a good spot to do some work too on your laptop, if you can find a table. Coffee can be purchased by wholesale too. Overall, a cute coffee shop serving coffee and tea. They're doing something right if they've been around since 1985!
