Cole brew was solid, breakfast sandwich was amazing! It was in a clamshell in the refrigerator case, but a sign said they'd assemble and toast it. Delicious (pickled onion, arugula, seasoned egg patty, some kind of sauce, bacon)! Lots of outdoor seating in front, with shade umbrellas, some bar tables on the back patio, eclectic decor and warm vibes on the inside. read more

I've been to Koffee on Audubon twice now. The first time was for a date that... let's just say wasn't the best. I liked the coffee more than the company. So naturally, I came back with my sister to erase that memory, and it definitely did the trick. Both visits, I ordered the iced Nutella latte, and it's become my go-to. It's rich, smooth, and not overly sweet. My sister ordered the iced dirty chai and loved it as well. One of my favorite things about this café is the unique seating. Instead of standard tables and chairs, there are different couches, comfy chairs, individual workspaces with outlets, and even outdoor seating. It creates a cozy atmosphere whether you're catching up with a friend, working remotely, or just enjoying a good cup of coffee. Overall, I really enjoy this spot. Great drinks, a relaxed vibe, and a space that makes you want to linger a little longer. I'll definitely keep coming back. read more

Ummmmm, how was this coffee shop not on my radar? All I can say is wow, this place blew me away that I stopped twice in one day! I had to do some business in New Haven and Koffee was conveniently located from where I parked. My first stop was for lunch and it was all good vibes when you first walk in. The decor was very homey and eclectic. Surprisingly, it wasn't busy at all so I was able to find seating after I ordered. The menu has everything from smoothies, specialty coffee and tea drinks, baked goods, sandwiches, fresh healthy snacks, and even spiked drinks for after hours (they stay open late, 8pm). I got the Golden Dandelion from their spring menu which was so delicious--it was like a golden milk and spicy. There were premade sandwiches and grabbed the veggie option. I liked that it had flavor as it had a yummy mango chutney and mustard to dress the sandwich. I did return as I made my way back to my car, decided to go with another spring drink, the Maple Creemee Latte which came with a maple candy. I was grateful that they were open later (at this point it was 4pm) because I needed a good pick me up. The coffee was very strong--which I liked. I really enjoyed Koffee and I heard afterwards that it's a great stop for coffee in New Haven. Would love to visit again soon! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Love Koffee! Great ambiance here! You can sit inside or outside. Great little spot to meet up with coworkers or friends. They cater as well! The coffee and food is always fresh and delicious. The staff are very friendly as well! read more

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) read more

Koffee On Audubon - Koffee? New Haven, CT @CoffeeinConnecticut - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

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 read more

The prices at this place have gone out of control. Why is a small hot drink 6 dollars? Almost every time I go I have to wait almost 20 minutes for my drink. I would skip this place and go to jitterbus or any other coffee shop nearby. read more

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! read more

Ordered a flat white, was decent. The individual at the front taking orders was shopping on Grailed or something while they took my order. I said hello, they gave me a blank stare, so i ordered and they walked away without saying a word so they could go back on their phone. I would maybe tell them to not use the phone and try greeting people when they come up to order. read more

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

It is kind of pricey with a long wait. But the coffee is good. You have the option to order ahead online.

Apple cinnamon scone was tasteless. Husband said his mini blueberry muffin was just ok. Coffee was adequate...not bad but nothing to rave about. Service was fine. Did not care for the vibe of the place or the people. Seemed like they were trying to be hip but it looked and felt like a garage sale. However there was decent seating on the sidewalk in front. With all the nice places in New Haven, doubt I will be back. read more

Great place to sit with friends and chat. I've tried the chai before and wasn't a huge fan, but this time I opted for the hot chocolate. I appreciated that the milk was freshly steamed, making the texture "fluffier" and more foamy. The flavor was also very yummy and warming without being too sweet. read more

Pretentious little coffee shop catering to the bourgeoisie. Beware the strange furniture.

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. read more

Food and drink options are great, but seating is a tad uncomfortable. Not ideal for studying due to loud chatter and music, but good for catching up with friends read more

This place is awesome and their makeshift walk up to order window is so well put together it's almost as if it was a permanent thing they got going here! I was able to try their frozen mocha and their frozen Nutella coffee drinks. The taste was there, the caffeine addiction was stimulated but unfortunately it was borderline frozen. It was more like cold chocolate milk for me. More ice next time! Other than that, everything was great! They have seats for you to chill outside as well. Hopefully my frozen drink will be frozen next time but because they have a relatively good reputation and served my drink with a smile, I'm not too mad about that. read more

Koffee On Audubon - Ordered a Dirty Chai with whip cream and pumpkin syrup!! Lite ice, not to sweet! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

Koffee is a bit tucked to the side of Audobon, but it's a great place once you actively look for it. After doing the "coffee circuit" of New Haven, Koffee is my go to spot in New Haven for the best brewed coffee and espresso drinks. The menu is typical coffee fair with fewer house-specific drinks falling on the side of the quality over quantity. In terms of seating, Koffee has the opposite issue of most coffee shops in New Haven in terms of the seating to outlet ratio. The place is often packed within the first 3 hours of opening during the weekend, however for each seat there can be 2 outlets per person in some spots. Not to say the space is small at all (during nice days there's nice outdoor seating in the back), but the large numbers speak to the quality of shop. Of note, there is also a community board that updates periodically asks patrons things like "what's your superpower" or your "favorite pokemon" that you can put post-its on out while you wait for your order. It may be silly of me to point out, but hey it's all about the small things. Overall, if you're an early bird Koffee is a great place to work. Otherwise, it is a fantastic place for quality brew and to catch up with others. If I could give 4.5 stars I would. read more

Koffee is hands down my favorite coffee shop in the Yale/ New Haven community. The shop is in a central location close to both downtown New Haven and Yale University, making it a super convenient place to get work done. The ambience here is very hipster and chill, completely with plants and eclectic artwork on every wall. They play music in the background but it's not too loud of distracting. There's ample seating here and a variety in the type of seating as well which is really nice. There are desk/ cubicles, comfy couches, high top and regular tables --- truly something for everyone. The coffee here is also great and inexpensive. I haven't tried the baked goods but they do have some scones, muffins and other pastries for sale. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE KOFFEE read more

Koffee On Audobon is the prototypical hipster cafe but where patrons of all stripes rub shoulders together. From the local artist community, to students and local business folks, everyone enjoys Koffee. The coffee is stellar. I'm predisposed to a simple espresso but others in my circle say great things about their latte. My favorite part of Koffee, surprisingly, isn't the coffee but the food selection. In a world of rising prices, the food selection is downright cheap. Veggie platters, chicken satay, cool sandwiches, parfaits, and these new salad in a cup - watermelon feta mint for one and another is a carrot, goat cheese raisin. Koffee has plenty of outdoor seating, all on the street side (and mostly shady). The canal train construction has temporarily eliminated the outdoor seating on the sunny side of the building. It is going to be great once the next door construction is complete. read more

My go to spot when I was working in New Haven. Quaint little beverage shoppe with some pretty unique foods. My go to was the chocolate banana caramel smoothie ( ok I know smoothies are supposed to be healthy). Today was a tad chilly for a cold beverage so I opted for the Mocha. The Baristas are helpful and friendly, usually sharing their great sense of humor. They have a point system where you can earn free beverages or food. I'm shooting for the hoodie, my friend wanted her picture on the wall, of which she succeeded ( picture included- yes I'm in it too). It's a great place to study and catch up on your school work or just chit chat with friends. read more

Went back yesterday for the first time this school year because I wanted to do work somewhere outside my room. I am not a coffee drinker and have been working on avoiding caffeine, so I ordered their current available unsweetened/decaf ice tea -- Raspberry. I enjoyed sipping my tea while I sat on a couch in Koffee for several hours and did some work. It's the perfect place for a comfy work spot when you don't have to do crazy focused work (although there are single desks you can use if you do want to focus). I also feel like it's super easy to meet random cool people at Koffee because locals come here too, not just the students. I met a cartoon artist who was really great to talk with! read more

Koffee has a great cafe ambiance, with fun, and plentiful seating both indoor and outdoor. It's a great environment for doing work, talking with a friend or just grabbing coffee. I'm not sure if it was the caramel flavoring, but my caramel iced coffee tasted fruity, which was a bit distasteful. They did have some fun menu items such as a Nutella Latte that I will be back to try. read more

Great coffee and ambience. Nice outside seating as well . Also, the service was quick and efficient. Everyone working there is attentive

Koffee? is fun, because when I talk about it aloud I can say "coffee with a K...and a question mark!" It is snug and has eclectic seating options. This excels as a place to meet friends and/or do work, but not for solo endeavors (unless you're in one of their computer corrals). The drinks are saccharine, but something about the chai keeps me coming back. I appreciate that they use real, substantially sized mugs instead of to-go cups. read more

Came here for the first time and loved it! Plenty of outdoor seating, and seating inside however a little smaller. Got an iced latte and one of the muffins. Both were great! read more

Huge coffee shop with a laid back vibe. There is a ton of space to study here. The place has both an upstairs and a downstairs, as well as an outdoor patio. The space was not only huge, but it was actually very cozy and clean as well Wide variety of coffee drinks as well as (what appeared to be) homemade pastry options. I got a vanilla late and 2 of their "micro muffins". Both were solid, but not the best I've had. Honestly the place was much more impressive than their drinks/food 7 read more

Cramped. Overly hipster with weird furniture. But most unforgiving was bad coffee. Very watery with a strange flavor and tons of grounds in the bottom of the cup. read more

I used to come to this location often. Tonight was a disappointment, asked for latte, I was told espresso machine was broken, I asked for Coconut milk macha latte cold, I was told they ran out of milk, then asked for frozen drink, I was told that blenders were just washed and put away. This has been the worst customer experience last few years, noted. read more

The absolute best combination. Coffee and alcohol. A must destination after a dinner event to get coffee. This place reminds me of a beehive infused with a Starbucks reserve/ less the sophistication. The wife and I exclusively get the mooka and Irish coffee. But they have a full selection of coffees, teas and small little eats. You can rent exclusive work rooms for a fee. read more
