    The type of place where you walk in and immediately met with the nicest smile from the staff that instantly lifts your mood. You could tell the people working there genuinely enjoy working there. They had house made syrups which was so cool! You don't ever see that anymore and the flavors? So unique! I got the saffron latte and wow, saffron is a hard taste to get right but mostly the aroma is so comforting, I was so excited to try it and wasn't disappointed. They also gave a little sip of their Vietnamese coffee to try which was nice to offer and it tasted great! The vibe was really homey and cute, bet it would be nice to study there!

    I recently came here with a friend to see the cherry blossoms at Wooster Square. We stopped in Kaiyden's for a refreshing drink. I love this cute hidden coffee shop. They always have creative specialty drinks and I love the sense of community this place brings. Everyone is very pleasant and helpful who works here. We both enjoyed their Strawberry Matcha and I will definitely be returning in the future and recommend for anyone in the area.

    This place was a gem to find. It's a sweet little cute shop. After enjoying some pizza we were looking for some tea and coffee. Barista Betty took care of us. She was sweet, kind and very knowledgeable about the teas I was interested in. After a nice conversation with Betty I chose VANILLA ROOIBOS -Rooibos (S. Africa), Calendula Petals (CT),, Vanilla Oil (Madagascar) It was nice and delicious after waiting for it to steep. I would definitely order that again.

    Greeted by a very friendly barista upon entry. They have a broad beverage menu, but I stuck to my traditional favorite. Large hot coffee with cream, caramel and vanilla flavor added. Very delicious. Cute quaint establishment. Books available for reading and for exchange along with a couple of board games. A stones throw away from Wooster Square, and if I had more time, I would have just taken a stroll in the park. They had light bites as well. Bagels, croissants, etc. Very chill and relaxed atmosphere. I highly recommend.

    Latte

    The latte and cappuccino was pretty good here. Location wise it's convenient. A little pricey. Limited indoor seating. People were crowding around the entrance and whole indoor area just chatting instead of ordering and clearing the way. Kind of annoying. Also lots of large dogs in a small indoor cafe really didn't seem appropriate. (Dog owners were chilling inside, not even ordering to go).

    The employees were sooo nice and so sweet! Me and my boyfriend enjoyed drawing on the chalk wall while we waited. I got a hot vanilla chai latte and it has never been better!! Their coffee is very very good as well! Very good clean environment. Was not too busy either

    Extensive menu of espresso based coffee and other drinks. Small selection of baked goods, because that's all you need. Super friendly and warm service. Everything you need in a neighborhood coffee shop, right off Wooster Square. Pups welcome too.

    Such a cute little coffee shop! It is family owned and I believe named after their kid Coffee was great! The owner was super sweet. Dog friendly. Only down side is the store is on the smaller side. There are 2 tables available.

    Best cappuccino in New Haven served in a warm and friendly atmosphere. What a treat to have them in the neighborhood, feels like home. Also dog friendly.

    I want to start by saying that the customer service here is incredible! The staff is super friendly and welcoming. I'm visiting for the first time, and I had such a great experience. The cold brew was one of the best I've ever had. However, my boyfriend ordered an iced chai with oat milk, and it seemed to be made with more water than milk, which was a little disappointing. Overall, though, we loved the vibe and would definitely come back!

    Quait coffee shop in Wooster Square. Inside and outside seating. Super friendly staff. Great coffee. I enjoyed an Americano with Almond syrup and one with hazelnut syrup another day. Both were very good. I also enjoyed an almond croissant today which was very fresh. There is a nice assortment of cold beverages, chips, and baked goods. Good free wifi. Stop in to welcome them to the neighborhood.

    Very excited that Kaiyden's is finally open, after months of strolling past the "Coming Soon" poster! It has all the classic elements of a small local coffee shop - cute furniture, solid coffee, free wifi, and fresh pastries. In the hour that we sat there, quite a few people streamed in and out, but never had to wait long. This is a much-needed addition to the Wooster Square neighborhood!

I got the Creme Brew Latte. This is one of the best lattes I've had all season. It is lightly vanilla flavored, but ultra creamy and plush. I genuinely enjoyed each sip. We got a Date Cookie, Dubai Chocolate and a Tiramisu Tres Leches. The Date Cookie was soft, with date in the center and crushed pistachios on the outside. This was rich and delectable. The Dubai Chocolate wasn't a favorite, it had a strange crunchy texture and was very sweet. The Tiramisu Tres Leche was exactly what it sounds like. That super, super fluffy, creamy, dreamy Tres Leche that's combined with coffee and chocolate! This is addictively good! We had a great first experience at MOTW, I cannot wait to return!

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!

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.
