    Love the constantly changing menu and that Eden and Windsor are great at accommodating any concoction I come up with. People watching and sitting looking out the window is the best.

    #4 in my NEW ENGLAND & NY COFFEE SHOP SERIES One of my favorite coffee shops in New Haven! Great food, great coffee, and great vibes! Anytime I need a pick-me-up and a place to study, I always come here. They have all your classic coffee shop drinks and teas as well as seasonal speciality items. In the past I have gotten an iced coffee maple milk tea ($3.50) and the seasonal strawberry coffee cold brew. I have also tried their vanilla latte and dirty chai's which are equally good. It is not the best coffee I have ever had, but definitely a great choice. They also have tasty food! My personal favorite is the folded egg and cheese biscuit. But they have so many other breakfast and lunch items. They are also open late if you needed to study and eat for a long amount of time. Large communal table, bar seating by the window, and smaller tables to study with friends. Fun fact: they have trivia nights on Sunday!

    I needed a place to get some work done and eat some lunch and I stumbled upon Fussy. The space is very warm with a lot of natural sunlight. I went on a Saturday morning during homecoming so it was quite busy and space can be tight inside, but I was able to get some work done. I ordered a quinoa bowl. The shrimp was delicious but everything else to me just tasted like it was just there would've liked some more flavor to it , but it is a healthy option. The Thai tea was all that I want in a thai tea, delicious, creamy, and rich. I was able to grab street parking even though it was crowded and there is a parking garage very close by. I would return to try other drinks and plates.

    For reasons felt only by fellow food nerds, I'm trying to visit and review all the well known NH coffee spots. Fussy is a bit north of downtown in an area called Science Park. I was able to grab one of a few nearby street spots, but there is a nearby large parking garage that I assume was public. Fussy is part of a large building that I hear is part Yale, part startup businesses. Inside is nice and modern. Many people were working or hanging out at a decent number of tables. For warm weather, there is a nice courtyard out front with some seating as well. I ordered a Black Iced Coffee. I asked the person who helped me about the coffee used and he knew right away that is was a Seattle roaster Kuma. I appreciated his working knowledge of their coffee and the fact that they used a quality roaster that other CT coffee shops don't use. Service was friendly. The coffee wasn't one of my favorite flavor profiles, but it was smooth and well executed. I liked the branding, which looks like a snake pretzel handshake. I would definitely return to Fussy, but it is not especially convenient to other businesses I visit in New Haven. If you visit at a non-peak time, it actually offers quick in and out because of the street parking. 4.5 Stars

    I love Fussy Coffee! Wonderful food options for breakfast and lunch. I always opt for one of their coffee specials. A great spot to get some work done, meet some friends for coffee, or sip some cocktails during Sunday trivia. During the school year, weekends are packed with Yale students so seating can be limited. They do have some tables for outdoor seating as well. Order up at the counter and they'll bring it over to your table. The food always comes out quickly even when they're super busy.

    I can't say enough great things about Fussy Coffee! I love eating and grabbing a drink here, the service is fantastic - the baristas are very cool, kind, and friendly. There is always a spot somewhere, even if it's a squeeze on a busy day, and the environment is very chill. I wish there were more couches or casual hangs, but it'd be difficult to accommodate enough people that way. It's a casual place to work away from home, though not particularly comfy/homey in the same way a Koffee? is. They play music, and depending on the mood you're in, it may be a bad playlist fit for your day, but I enjoy it. Parking is the most stressful part, but there is typically a street spot open as you approach OR, at least for now, there's a lot of open parking on Munson street, if you're willing to walk a little bit. Food? Excellent. Coffee? Excellent. A little expensive but that's the way New Haven seems to be. My favorite spot at the moment!

    First time at Fussy Coffee and it's added to my list of cute breakfast spots. Stopped by on a Friday afternoon to grab a quick bite. I got the egg sandwich and a hot chocolate. Both were really good so I'm looking forward to trying out other items on the menu.

    I'm always on the lookout for new coffee shops to study in - my favorite cafe study spots have an airy atmosphere, an unobtrusive playlist, plenty of outlets, clean tables, lots of seating and of course tasty drinks. Fussy coffee checks all my boxes! I especially love how there's a variety of tables to choose from - indoor, outdoor, communal tables, bar/standing tables, etc.

    Lemon, ginger fog

    This is a beautiful coffee shop and a great place to get work done. It is often very busy, so if you walk in and see an open seat available, take it! It's a larger enough space that you can get some work done despite the amount of people who are there. If you're not a big coffee drinker, that's OK. They have amazing drinks. That aren't caffeinated. Such as the one in the photo the ginger lemon fog. Absolutely delicious. I had the grass fed burger, which was a decent size came with a delicious salad and a pickle. The only difficulty is the parking it's best if you can walk to this location however, other than that this is a great place to take your laptop put in some earbuds and get some work done!

    Turmeric Latte
    Anna F.

    This was a super cool place. Loved my turmeric latte. My friend's latte art said "fussy coffee" which was awesome (I've never seen that done before with latte art). My friend ordered us breakfast burritos. Definitely the way to go! Attentive service and nice calm atmosphere.

    As a night shift I love that this place opens at 7:30a. The food was delicious and coffee and cocktails were strong! Food came out quickly and the servers were pleasant. 2 long tables could accommodate large groups and when warmer there is outdoor space as well. Definitely worth a try!

When we went up to the register, my friend got excited because they were playing a song she really liked. The employee told her to "calm down" multiple times in a very rude tone. We bought a piece of cake, it was a bit expensive for a small slice ($7.75) but we noticed a student discount with proof of Student ID. One of my friends had her student ID on her so she showed it, my friends also got excited about the discount and we were told to "calm down" again. Then another employee told us that the discount didn't apply to cake or macarons?? Weird. Seems convenient, since those were the only things left in the case. Anyway, we bought the cake at full price, and my friend went to find forks for the group. She asked one of the employees behind the counter and he very rudely said, "Have you tried looking behind you?" So rude. I asked for a plate to make it easier for us to split the cake slice, and the first employee told me they were closed for eating. No mention of that or signs about it before we purchased. We had to leave with our cake and ended up eating it outside on the street. I'm not happy with this place, it looked so cute at first but honestly not even worth the trouble or the money.
