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 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!

#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!

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.

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.

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!

I could have just gotten that with some cream cheese because the bagel was perfectly crisp on the outside and chewy dough on the inside. Could be one of the best bagel sandwiches I've ever had!

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.
