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!

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.

So naturally, I came back with my sister to erase that memory, and it definitely did the trick. Both visits, I ordered the iced Nutella latte, and it's become my go-to. It's rich, smooth, and not overly sweet. My sister ordered the iced dirty chai and loved it as well. One of my favorite things about this café is the unique seating. Instead of standard tables and chairs, there are different couches, comfy chairs, individual workspaces with outlets, and even outdoor seating. It creates a cozy atmosphere whether you're catching up with a friend, working remotely, or just enjoying a good cup of coffee. Overall, I really enjoy this spot. Great drinks, a relaxed vibe, and a space that makes you want to linger a little longer. I'll definitely keep coming back.

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.

I would def recommend this place for brunch!

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!

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.

We opted for a flat white and macchiato. The staff was extremely welcoming and made sure we understood that they make an authentic macchiato, not the commercialized version which gave us a chuckle! The macchiato was perfectly crafted as well. as the flat white, complete with gorgeous latte art on top. I was expecting great coffee, which they delivered. What surprised me was the spinach quiche. I wasn't expecting anything out of the ordinary, but I've basically been dreaming about this quiche since I've had it. Light and fluffy, it more closely resembles an egg bite/sous vide egg bite since it does not have a traditional quiche crust. However, it was fantastic with great spinach flavor and a buttery and cheesy finish. DROOL. The space is so inviting, clean, cozy with plenty of different options for seating; from intimate nooks, to upholstered chairs and couches, to plain wooden chairs, there's something for every comfort level. I cannot wait to come back here with my laptop to get some work done, and will definitely have more coffee dates here!
