Our first visit here did not disappoint! The counter servers' recommendations were great. Egg, cheese & bacon on the world's biggest English muffin, I've ever seen. My husband had egg, cheese, prosciutto & avocado on whole grain. Both steaming hot when served. Relaxed and quiet atmosphere. Will definitely try again. read more

Cedarhurst Cafe - Egg Sandwich - Cafes Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

We were in the area of this establishment and was recommended this place to get a quick bite. I ordered the Belgium waffle with fruits. It came with strawberries and banana. The fruits were nice and fresh. My friend ordered the grilled chicken avocado salad. The mango's on the salad were very fresh also ( I helped myself to one). The salad came out right away but there was quite a wait for the waffle. The cafe has a nice and cozy feel. Looks like a nice place to come and get some work done. Most people had their laptops out. They have high chair tables and they also have an exercise balls chair. They do heed warning to "sit at your own risk". The only thing that I didn't like was that I ordered an Iced Chai Latte. There was too much ice in mine. I couldn't taste the chai at all. It was too watery. read more

Nicest couple with the food to match! Service, service, service! There coffees are spot on

Great place to sit and enjoy your lunch or morning coffee. Try the Tuna Melt, one of the best that I've had in a while!

Beautiful cafe with friendly staff. Came here to study and I really enjoyed my time here. They have a nice selection of pastries (muffins and bagels) and even a few gluten free options. I didn't try and of the food, but they offer breakfast and lunch options as well as smoothies, coffee, tea, and açaí bowls. I ordered a preset smoothie (you can create your own and there are A LOT of choices) and I quite enjoyed it. It was 7.00 for a small signature smoothie (not including tax and tip), which although pricey was worth it because of how long I stayed at the cafe. I didn't see a LOT of outlets here, but there are definitely a few around in case your laptop is dying. The best part about the place is the yoga balls that you can sit on while you work. Truly helped keep my posture good during my time working and also was just a lot of fun. They have the radio on in the background, but no loud music so that it's a pretty quiet environment. Very productive space! read more

Great breakfast and coffee place. The latte is very good. The home fires are the best I've had in years. They didn't not need ketchup or other condiments and were perfectly cooked. The bacon in the omelette was fresh cooked. read more

Cedarhurst Cafe - A place to write your happy thoughts. - Cafes Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

Perfect morning with a double egg sandwich, micro cold brew, and free WiFi. If you're just hanging out, awaiting your next yoga session, catching up on homework, preparing for class or looking for a small escape from work...check this place out. It's calm, clean, and the staff is very friendly. They bring your freshly made order to you, and provide an outstanding atmosphere. Now let's get to the good stuff; as simple as an egg sandwich may be, you hardly read about them. This one on the other hand has a mouthful of flavor that excite the taste buds. The bread has a nice crispy flake to it, the eggs are cooked perfectly, and layered with cheese. It's not oily, greasy or fried at all. You have several options to choose from on the menu to add whatever you'd like to your sandwich or grab a side. They offer a wide variety of lunch options with specials. Overhearing the staff thanking their customers, and to have a nice day is "typically common", however you can hear the sincerity in their voices. They're personable, and most importantly happy to be here. To me that's important. Some may not care, but when you speculate about it, you're more than likely to have phenomenal service, cleanliness, and care put into creating your order. read more

This is like a Starbucks set up but with better coffee and food items. I'm not sure if we came at the wrong time but the staff wasn't rude...yet...it wasn't friendly. They took my order, made it and gave it to us. No smiles....just a matter-of-fact. The lavender latte and the avocado toast were good. read more

This is a fun little coffee shop close to the Yale campus. They have a pretty comprehensive menu including waffles, egg sandwiches, smoothies, açaí bowls, coffee and pastries. I got an açaí bowl with strawberries, bananas and honey. It was refreshing but there was a lot of honey. Too much for my personal taste. My mom got a Belgium waffle with strawberries, Nutella and whipped cream. The touch of cinnamon was a pleasant surprise. The fresh squeezed orange juice was very fresh and yummy but not very cold. The shop is nice and cozy. A very fun find. They have a sign requesting patience at the cash register which I found fitting and helpful: the food is tasty but the service is kind of slow. So let this be a pleasant enhancement to a sleepy morning, not a quick fix if you're on the go. read more

This petite lil cafe gets its name from the cedar tree trunk that adorns the register... and for seating- bouncy ball chairs ... creating a very fun atmosphere! The food is pretty gr8 too : fair trade tea & coffee, organic and vegetarian / vegan options .... bagels, toast with avocado and egg, waffles with Nutella and banana, fresh squeezed orange juice and espresso are a few i tried on my visit ... Not too pricy either and everything tasted real good. It's all part self serve ... you order at the register and they bring the food out to you. If you lucky you can find a spot at the metered street parking just outside. read more

Outstanding smoothie and breakfast sandwich. Very nice staff. A bit on the pricy side though.

Nice small breakfast place. The usual crunchy College vibe. Good coffee and very good service. Egg sandwich (I added avocado) was great and delivered by the chef. Fair prices and great quality. read more

I feel as though Cedarhurst Cafe's terrific star-rating is a more a product of its friendly service and ambience rather than its food. Nonetheless, my friends and I had a very pleasant Saturday brunch at Cedarhurst. After we ordered at the front, they handed us numbers, and servers brought our food to us at the table. Be aware that the wait time is a little longer than average due to the high volume of people during weekend brunch; I think we ended up waiting 15-20 minutes for two açaí bowls and one waffle. My friend and I ordered the Acai bowl with banana, strawberry, and blueberry (she substituted banana with granola), and my other friend ordered a Belgian waffle topped with strawberry, banana, and dollops of whipped cream. While the waffle was alright, she said that it wasn't the best she'd ever had in New Haven. It looked as though the waffle came out of a waffle-maker, and it was a little bit smushed / dry. Fortunately, they were generous with the whipped cream and fruit toppings. My açaí bowl was terrific: it was light, refreshing, and naturally sweetened. While there were a few frozen lumps, most of the bowl was well-blended and the texture / consistency was smooth. Luckily, it didn't melt too quickly. In addition, I could really taste the açaí essence; it wasn't masked by greek yogurt or sugary fruit juices. The portion size wasn't amazing (I think the açaí bowl is more for a snack than an actual meal replacement), but for $8.50 I was happy with the amount. Also, they arranged the fruit aesthetically, which I appreciate :) The Cafe itself comes with plenty of seating / studying area. There is a printer for your convenience on the side as well! I would absolutely recommend Cedarhurst Cafe for a lazy Saturday brunch or for a productivity session with friends. read more

Best coffee shop I've ever been too. They layered the apples in my to-go oatmeal, and $4 for fantastic scrambled eggs was a steal. The environment is also so clean and artsy. Coming back here every time i head to New Haven. Husband and wife team who runs this shop are also so friendly and kind. read more

Hey guys, just so you know... your website still says you open at 7:30am. I guess I should have checked Yelp because your hours on here say 8:00am... but either way, I was outside the restaurant at 7:45am and it was closed. Just a disappointing start to the morning, especially for somebody out of town. read more

Love this cafe! Super healthy food and drink options, as well as a beautiful ambience and lighting for studying or getting work done. Prices are a bit high and the service can be slow, but the quality may be worth it! All of the ingredients are fresh and everything is prepared on the spot after you place your order. For food, I would recommend the delicious, customizable smoothies and avocado toast. The coffee is great too! Free WiFi, a decent amount of seating, great employees, and a nice cozy atmosphere. The key to the bathroom is also located by the cash register for convenience. Would definitely recommend for a breakfast/brunch date or quiet study day! read more

Service was great, very friendly! The BEST gluten free and vegan banana muffin I have ever had - great food!

We dropped by this cafe for breakfast since it was nearby from our hotel. The food was decent but we waited for an extremely long time and was told that they were short staffed. I ordered an acai bowl and had 3 pieces of plastic inside. The staff were friendly though so that's a plus. read more

Hoping to pick up something quick Saturday morning, I ordered a few items from Cedarhurst on Yelp. I was surprised to see the 30-40 minute wait and decided to mosey over early. Nonetheless, we were quick to realize that, indeed, they were overwhelmed with the morning crowd and hadn't started to make our food. It did end up taking half an hour. That being said, the food and drink were pretty good. Their coffee list is robust, and I enjoyed the honey and vanilla latte. My husband got the chocolate peanut butter latte cold, but it should definitely be served hot because many of the contents were not blended well. The egg sandwiches were a little pricey, but they had high-quality ingredients and flavors. I'd definitely come back but allot myself more time. read more

Cute cozy, little side-street cafe in New Haven close to the University. Tried it on a sunny,winter Saturday morning with a light student crowd. Coffee was very good and the panini style egg sandwich was a real treat too. Perfect place for anyone looking for a quick continental type breakfast. Lunch menu looks great too with many sandwiches and wraps. They do have WIFI but I didn't bother asking for the password. read more

Good cozy vibes, great food, great service. The breakfast is quick and reliable, great way to start your morning.

Adorable cafe that appears to have been whisked by tornado from one of the whole-grain suburbs of Silicon Valley and dropped in the nightclub district. The window-bar seating is those work-the-core bouncy balls! Delightful Belgian waffle and the nicest service! read more

Very friendly, human, and inviting place. The folks working were happy to be there. Highly recommend

Went to this cafe on our way from Bridgeport to Boston and had a terrible experience. The lattes and food were great (albeit overpriced). However, the male manager/owner had no control over his temper and was SCREAMING at their staff in front of 16+ customers, to the point that the girls were in tears. They were doing the best they could, and he was so nasty to them telling them they were slow, incompetent, etc. I would NOT recommend spending your money here and visit a cafe where the owners/managers know how to treat others with kindness and respect. read more

Stopped in for breakfast on the way out of town after an overnight in New Haven. Cappuccinos were good size and tasty. We had avocado and egg sandwiches which were quite good and also freshly made. Food does take a bit of time which it said on the wall so no surprises there since food is made to order. Staff was super friendly. Would highly recommend. read more

Friendly service, tasty food!! Would love to try more of their food. We got there about 40 minutes before closing and they started packing away and cleaning up already. I would've got some baked goods but it was packed away already. read more

People, please stop over-rating these places. You're rendering yelp useless. Brusk counter service. Terrible coffee drink. Asked for water and never got it. The food was fine. It's hard to screw up 2 egg sandwiches and a bowl of fruit. I automatically tipped 20% at the counter so the tab was about $40. I appreciate the opportunity to remember not to automatically tip 20% for counter service. My first meal in New Haven. D+ read more
