While this is not one of the nicer looking Willoughby's, the black iced coffee was very good. Smooth going down. Good aftertaste. Willoughby's is indeed about serious coffee. 4 Stars

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!

My husband and I always get the same thing and split it as it is enough for 2. The blueberry pancakes are delicious! Omelettes yummy (well seasoned) - we always add mushrooms, ground impossible sausage and spinach. I usually get a chai latte or seasonal latte and hubby gets the lavender lemonade. Service is fast and the energy is lively and although always busy, they never rush you out. We also love the neighborhood and always run into friends here, it has an energy of "it's the place to be".

They roast in-house and focus on high-quality coffee for their shop, wholesale and online ordering. You can pick from many single origins, blends and espresso options. Owners Eric and Christine take the time to educate you about coffee and anything you want to know about it. They take pride in crafting great drinks and can give some great recommendations! They offer a tea garden patio, a labyrinth for walking meditation, and fountains. When it comes to their menu, they rotate their different blends including one of their top sellers, the Worldly Blend. I LOVED trying two of their specials: Strawberry Nutella Iced Coffee and the Banana Cream Cold Brew. While visiting, there were multiple customers raving about their drinks too--you won't be disappointed with any option you pick! They also frequently offer education events, in house tastings and other paired wellness combinations worth checking out. Key Features: Parking, lots of options to choose from on the menu including great lemonades and teas for non-coffee consumers. Their outdoor area is great on a nice day, and they have gift options to take (cups, gift cards, beans, hats, etc). Offer milk alternatives, a rewards punch card if you frequently visit and indoor tables and bar to sit at.

On more than one occasion, the lid wasn't on the coffee spilled. Wants the whole body get out and the coffee went all over the place. The desserts are good, but some of them are just from Costco. I literally saw the same pack of cakes that were in the case! On a positive note, the coffee is absolutely fresh and delicious and the ground the beans there.

The coffees are fresh yes I will say that but I asked for a small caramel flavor and just received a black large coffee, the hazelnut coffee also did not taste like anything. The egg spinach wrap had no flavor, the egg was way too over cooked & overloaded with spinach the only thing giving it flavor was the hot sauce. The bagel was okay, I personally like them to be more toasted but it is what it is. Pastries are definitely giving Costco for sure. Highly doubt I would be coming back, and definitely wouldn't recommend.

Although I am done for that vibe all year long and clearly the popularity of Perkatory proves I am not alone. Even being later in the day this place was busy with lots of groups hanging out enjoying the space. Being a coffee roaster they had lots of different beans you could take home too which is always a plus. Besides the vibes, the drinks my wife and I got were fantastic as well! Staff were friendly and drinks took no time whatsoever. My wife went an Iced Lavender Latte (w/ Oat Milk) while I went with a seasonal special of the Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte. Both drinks were well made with a good balance of the addition of the flavors and the espresso. Would definitely return for the overall vibes and drinks. If we were local it would be a spot we would frequently visit! Check them out!

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.

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.
