    Maple Cold brew (added oat milk)

    The coziest spot in New Haven for a coffee. The baristas are always so friendly and happy to see customers come in. The ambiance has a jazz-esque feel to it. I love the cold brew!

    Great little coffee shop I got to visit periodically during my internship. They have lots of tables both for groups and shut off ones for yourself to enjoy some privacy and lock in for the day. They have lots of great drinks, most notably the Nutella drink that def got me through the toughest of times. Would definetly recommend checking out!

    We came here on a Saturday night and it was enjoyable sitting outside drinking iced herbal tea that was full of flavor. My husband enjoyed a dairy free smoothie. Busy coffee shop indoors with comfy seating. Pastries and sandwiches available too. Variety of alcoholic beverages.

    Super cute place, and I love all the seating options available, both inside and outside! The people working were very sweet and had some nice music recommendations. The Nutella latte didn't taste super special and couldn't really differentiate it from a mocha latte. From my dad, who got a matcha latte, said the matcha tasted pretty diluted from what he's used to, but my aunt enjoyed it enough to come back. Not upset at the experience, but unsure if I'd go out of my way to come back.

    Great energy, loved the outdoor seating. Latte warmed me up on rainy day. It was smooth. Service was fast despite a lot of people. It is a popular destination.

    Coffee at Koffee?! Eclectic vibes, but still cozy spot. I love visiting coffee shops when I'm traveling, so I was definitely intrigued by this place in New Haven! I got a hot vanilla latte, which is my go-to order. I arrived shortly after they were open, so there was no line and my coffee was made pretty quickly.

    This eclectic spot is a hidden gem between Yale & the New Haven Green. The aesthetics is what drives many visitors. It offers little study corals, high top bar seating and larger group hang tables. They offer a variety of drinks and food items, highlighting some of their top sellers beyond just coffee which include: chai lattes, lemonades & iced matchas. They have increased their GF options (also nut free, all real ingredients) and are committed to sustainability. A huge plus is that they're open later than your normal stop...If you are ever feeling that late day study session or hangout spot, they've got you covered! Key Features: Lots of chai. matcha and tea options for non-coffee drinkers. Able to grab some on-the go cooler food options or pastries if seeking something quick. Variety of seating options (outside, study corrals, group tables and high top bars). Since it's downtown New Haven, walk or search ahead for street parking (Park Mobile/meter)

    Fun Fact -- I have had coffee, at Koffee, more times than all other places in New Haven combined, but I haven't been there since around 2004. We didn't have a falling out or anything. I just used to have business in their area and that concluded back then. I finally returned this weekend. Here's what I remember about Koffee. The coffee was strong, but drinkable. Their seating area was congested, and most or all of the seats and tables were usually taken by people working or hanging out. It wasn't fancy or modern looking, but it was comfortable in the times. There was some food, but it wasn't a particular draw. When I walked in on Saturday, looked around, ordered and sipped my black iced coffee, it felt exactly the same. I'm sure they've changed some things, but I couldn't tell you what they are. The coffee was probably some sort of dark or medium dark roast blend of beans from South and/or Central America. It was strong, but smooth. Not my favorite flavor profile for iced coffee, but well executed. Four Stars

    Cute little coffee shop near Yale. We stopped by for a quick pick me up on our way to Pensylvania. They have board games, a community table and some outdoor seating to work out of. The coffee itself was pretty standard - we got a Cappucino with oat milk and latte!

    chai latte and nutella latte

    The drinks were decent and it was a nice atmosphere but the wait time was slightly long. Good place for work and studying.

    I loved the ambiance and coffee until I went to the bathroom and saw a horrific painting of a soldier surrounded by war and blood. What is this glorification of war and death doing in a local cafe, where people sit to relax and work surrounded by people and humanity? It threw me off entirely and ruined the entire experience, and my day as it was very jarring. I won't be returning or recommending that for sure.

We went around 7 PM and were seated immediately without reservations, which was a pleasant surprise for a Friday evening. It wasn't quite warm enough for the patio, but the inside still had a cozy atmosphere that worked perfectly for a pre-theater bite. My cousin ordered the crab cake, and I went with the Brussels sprouts and risotto Parmesan tater tots. We were really just looking for a few appetizers before the show, but everything hit the spot. The Brussels sprouts were flavorful and paired with thick savory slices of bacon, while the risotto Parmesan tater tots were crispy, cheesy, and hard to stop eating with the dipping sauce. Service was friendly, food came out quickly, and overall it was a relaxed and enjoyable experience before heading over to Yale Rep. Definitely reminded me why Harvest has been a longtime New Haven favorite.

Located on York Street next door to the infamous Toad's Place, Mory's occupies a house built in 1912. The main dining room features a plethora of old black-and-white photographs of Yale figureheads and classes, plus a ceiling lined with antique Yale rowing oars. Each wooden table has over 100 years' worth of people's initials (and other curiosities) carved in them, most likely made while imbibing several ales. If you're looking for ambiance, then this is your place. The food isn't bad but it's not gourmet either. Membership is required and you must be affiliated with Yale in some way (as a student, faculty member, or alum) in order to obtain membership. However, members may invite guests who are not directly affiliated with Yale, which is how I got to experience it. I enjoyed a lunch special of pomegranate and orange-glazed salmon served alongside arugula with shaved radishes and pomegranate seeds tossed in a citrus vinaigrette. It was a bit on the bland side at first, but once I sprinkled some seasoning it perked up. Again, food isn't the main attraction here. The tradition and prestige of Yale is. Mory's is, more or less, a clubhouse for Yalies. So let's go back to the ambiance from what I saw on the first floor. Besides the handsome main dining room, there is also a bar nestled inside what used to be a living room (with a fireplace) and is adorned with more Yale memorabilia. They also have an outdoor patio in nicer weather and there are several private rooms that may be rented for events. Whether history and tradition is your jam, or you're a forever Yalie, Mory's is an experience you'll want to have at least once if you have the connections.

I love their values: cultivating love as action, nurturing artistic, spiritual, and communal growth, and engaging the community to expand their boundaries and learn new skills. I attended their holiday show and dinner, By the Hearth, a bit of holiday variety show. Some people sang songs. Some people did comedy. One performer did a poignant soliloquy about losing his dad and his love of Phantom of the Opera. I really enjoyed the skit/songs featuring the two kids who were told there was no Santa. You can tell these students (some are grad students in their 30s, so don't assume these are all young college kids) are funny and talented. Even though every skit didn't land with me, I really felt the community there, and it felt like a safe place to be. I had the dinner as well. They had some basic dishes--braised beef roast (they were out, bummer), roasted garlic parm cabbage wedge with mashed potatoes, and smothered pork chop. They also have starters, such as grilled octopus, French onion soup, and mushroom toast. The mushroom toast was very good, I ate it all! They also have dessert and wines/beers/cocktails. You can order a prix fixe for a bargain as well. Dinner starts at 6:30 PM for the 8 PM show and they take orders until 7:20 PM. There are six (?) tables up front and three tall tables in the back. I started at the tall table in the back, as I arrived a little later, and it was fine, but the two rows of seats in front of those tables were also high chairs, so before the show started, I moved to the front row. I also want to say the servers and the manager was super nice and accommodating. And I loved that the actors/performers and staff were all diverse from all walks of life. Again, I enjoyed the show. It was fantastic seeing original material and you never knew what to expect from one minute to the next, and you could tell they were having fun. I compare this group to like Second City or The Groundlings. At the very end of the show, I was getting my coat and bag together to leave and I dropped my wine glass (from my wine ordered at dinner) and it shattered everywhere. One of the actors yelled, "mazel tov" and it became a natural moment in the show. They marched off the stage and the glass was cleaned up. Before the show, I told the manager that I've been to tons of shows, including some of the biggest Broadway productions, but I often find "the shows in basement are the best time." That ending mazel tov cemented my opinion about this place. Thank you, Yale Cab.

Sure, I'm not slinky enough to pull it off, but it could certainly work in theory. I've been to two shows at the Yale Cabaret, and have enjoyed myself thoroughly both times. The quality of the acting is top-notch, even at what could be an uncomfortably close distance. The space is tiny, with very limited seating, so booking tickets in advance is fairly important. The sacrifice in convenience is repaid many times over by the cozy atmosphere. There isn't a lot of fancy decor to speak of, but with the soft lights and the little round tables with high chairs, you can almost hear the air tinkle with glass and jazz and other pleasant things. The shows themselves were entertaining, though I'll admit that the odds of finding a stellar script are higher at more established, less student-run places like the Rep. The shows do seem to be shorter, which is often a plus, and really, the experience is worth your time. The venue inspires love, and that's hard to beat.
