Cute cafe with nice decor. Friendly staff. Delicious chicken panini. Crowded on a Sunday afternoon and had to wait for a table to free up but worth it. read more

Fepo Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

Anytime I've been to New Haven within the past year, I've been very intrigued by Fepo Cafe. The windows are huge, with a comfortable and elegant vibe. My friend and I finally stopped by the other day. Fepo Cafe is a comfortable and quiet space for enjoying a coffee, lunch, or an independent study session. Their menu is large with an assortment of coffees, smoothies, teas, energy drinks, as well as a broad variety of breakfast and lunch items. Their Cherry Blossom Latte looked interesting. I ordered it hot, my friend got the Cherry Blossom Matcha iced. They were brought out to us pretty quickly. I was unfortunately very disappointed. I didn't get what I ordered. I got a typical matcha. It was bitter, but smooth. I had to add some sweetener to it. My friend who ordered the matcha, wasn't impressed, while it was nicely layered, it had the crucial ingredient missing, the cherry syrup. We were both dissatisfied with our drinks. It turns out we should have received a free cookie with the purchase of our drinks, we didn't get those. We also got a chia pudding each. One with mango and one with pineapple. These were both very tasty, and a healthy alternative to a snack. I'm not sure what happened, maybe the barista was new. I might stop by again in the future. read more

This location had been empty for so long that when I learned a new cafe was opening nearby, I got really excited. While there are several cafes and eateries around, this spot is truly special! I wasn't sure what to expect, but I loved seeing a beautifully designed sign about a collagen latte, which caught my interest because it was something I had never tried before. The environment is very clean and modern, with vibrant displays of products, especially highlighting that they serve La Colombe coffee, which is my favorite. With multiple digital menu boards, a well-equipped coffee bar with almost every syrup you can imagine, a full lunch menu, and plenty of grab-and-go options like pastries, bottled drinks, and prepackaged salads, there was truly something for everyone. The staff were very friendly and patient as I tried to understand the menu and asked questions about ingredients and items to ensure I made the right choice. I felt a bit overwhelmed trying to decide on lunch, but I took the advice of the employee ringing me up and ordered the Avo Wrap, which is like a BLT with avocado. I also decided to try the collagen latte; it tasted like an iced latte, and I could definitely tell the collagen was in it, but it didn't bother me. Both were delicious, and I wish I could have stayed longer to enjoy my food in the café, but I had to leave for a meeting. I'm definitely looking forward to returning for coffee dates and lunch with friends and colleagues in the area, mainly because there are so many menu items I want to try next! read more

I cannot help but feel my interaction with the server was racially motivated. I asked a simple question about the amount of protein in a drink, and they basically berated me stating that it's obviously different per size , which is not clear they clearly had no insight as to how much grams of protein would served per drink never giving this establishment my business. When I inquired about the grams of protein because their flyer outside hd a blanket 20 g they simply had no idea and no curiosity to figure out the answer for me to make a purchase. read more

#23 in my NEW ENGLAND & NY COFFEE SHOP SERIES My 475 review has to be one of my coffee shop reviews! And what better one than a new coffee shop that I have slowly become obsessed with. This is definitely one of the best study spots/coffee shops in the New Haven area! They were so thoughtful in their interior design and their drinks are very good. First off, study vibes: there is a lot of seating with outlets everywhere, free wifi, and even the couch has hidden outlets and coffee holders build in. I stayed here for a little over 5 hours studying and it was great! For drinks and food, they have w plethora of normal coffee shop items as well as sandwiches, salads, and açaí bowls. I got a large, hot, vanilla latte with regular milk for $7 and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was! There is also a server that brings it to you if you are dining in. The owner was very kind along with the other servers. I definitely recommend! Note: street parking only or you can go to a nearby lot read more

Popped in with family while walking around and in need of cold drinks to cool us down. This is a dog friendly spot. We got a mango Tractor Organic Beverage, a strawberry Tractor Organic Beverage, a berry Tractor Organic Beverage, and green ice tea with a lemon. The staff were friendly and let us sample one the beverages. read more

A new addition to New Haven, this is a great study spot or good place to meet a colleague for coffee. The interior is bright and spacious with nice service. The coffee is admittedly on the pricey side. I found it to be pretty good quality though and figured I'm paying a little extra since I'll sit in the lovely cafe for a while. Bonus for the abundant windows right on the green! read more

Loving this spot already! I got the chance to meet the owner Ezekiel while he was making my matcha, and he's the sweetest. I love his humor and getting to see him interact with the community was really nice during my visit. As usual, I got a matcha with oat milk. It was refreshing and definitely affordable for the area at only $6! They've been open about a month and the space is gorgeously lit by sunlight and so clean. They offer pastries and sandwiches as well. I'll definitely be stopping in often since it's so close to the train station and I'm always looking for a chic place to work! read more

My friend and I came here for the first time this past weekend for a casual brunch. This is a fairly new place in downtown that we wanted to try. We had a great experience! We ordered the Iced Dolce de Leche Latte and Camomile Citrus Tea for drinks, which were delicious and the Classic Belgian Waffle and Club Sandwich. We were both very pleased and satisfied with the taste, ambiance, and service. I will definitely return again in the future and recommend if you're in the area. read more

Well, we did it, folks! Went to this café and after café after café of inconsistency, overpriced and underfilled beverages, FINALLY found a good latté in New Haven. I mean, I knew it would be good, since it's La Colombe, but there are other things that make this place shine. The employees are kind, the café is spotless, and on a sunny day, the space is bright (huge windows) and warm. They have an amazing selection of syrups to complement the drinks, and in my oat draft, the amount of syrup was perfect. Not gonna lie, I kind of want to gatekeep this space as a study spot, but also want them to get business so they stick around! Go here! read more

I really enjoyed visiting Fepo Cafe, a delightful new coffee shop in New Haven that's located on a bright street corner. They serve La Colombe coffee and have a substantial offering of beans to buy. They also have food and baked goods, which I'll have to try next time. I ordered a cortado with oat milk. It was excellent. My mom got the chai latte, which she loved. The seating options are great for work and for chatting with friends. There's ample space to spread out and get things done. I appreciated that the table we were at had some little coasters to use, but unfortunately we got to-go cups even though we were seated inside. I did not like their use of fake plants; once you notice they're fake, it really kills the vibe. I do think their menu is too ambitious. They have too many baked goods, refrigerated drinks, and weirdly have smoothies, too. No need! Just do the coffee well! Would return. read more

This place has been on my must try list simply because of its open & plentiful seating which is helpful for studying or simply getting work done. I came in on a weekday afternoon. It wasn't crowded but there were quite some people & everyone was quite respectful & quiet. The playlist is * chef's kiss. I really like how there are a lot of windows, lots of sunlight & the space is open and airy. There are plenty of outlets under the benches. I ordered a Thai tea. The small is quite large. The Thai tea was rich, maybe a bit too sweet, but good. This place also has pastries, sandwiches, smoothies and açaí bowls. Although I haven't tried the coffee, I really like the space & will be back to get some work done. read more

no complaints, latte was delicious, food was good too, atmosphere is bright and modern. I hope they keep it this way and don't let it deteriorate and get run down, like many cafes seem to do over time. read more

Happy to have another solid coffee shop in the area! Fepo Cafe has a nice modern vibe and serves La Colombe coffee as well as a sandwich-focused food menu. We haven't had a chance to try the food yet, but the cappuccino is delicious! Cute and convenient spot to grab a coffee and chat with a friend or get some light work done. read more

Went for a late lunch with my girlfriend and it's just a great cafe. Very fresh modern vibe. Prices are more than reasonable considering the quality. I ordered a salmon tartine and a mocha. The tartine was well presented and very good and fresh. The mocha was made by the barista Barbara who is very nice and very talented. the art on mine was gorgeous. If you're a bit hangry or need a bit of caffeine fepo is the perfect pit stop. read more

Fepo's - Wonderful food and beverages. Great selection. Excellent vibe . We tried a salad - delicious! And desserts - also delicious. I loved my Chagaccino (mushroom & coffee) - a great mood booster on a dreary January day. read more

Owners need to be attentive to their menu, especially when it comes to allergens. I ordered a club sandwich. The menu does not mention Swiss cheese as an ingredient which mine had. The person who made mine also forgot the turkey. Won't be coming back read more

This cafe is truly gorgeous, the cold brew on tap is delicious. The owner has specialty donuts imported from New York, very fun!

Flat white I ordered was so watery. You can hardly taste the espresso. Very disappointing quality of the drink!
