They had many other great latte options, but I was able to hold myself to the one that finally lured me in the door. It was a vanilla & cherry iced latte with cherry cold foam, & the 3 cherry "eyeballs" floating in it. The flavor combination is one I adore in coffee anyway, but this was a great drink. Well balanced, light on the sweetness. Bright, pure flavors. I loved it. I also tho if by the price was reasonable for the size and quality of the latte. It was a great environment inside, nicely decorated and bright. Very friendly/welcoming staff. Just a straight forward great experience. I look forward to future visits and trying more drinks!! There are actually a few other monthly specials I'd like to try, so a return may be sooner than later. Definite recommend.

It's so nice to see someone who is clearly passionate about coffee and takes so much pride in what she does. She moves so quickly and efficiently, and I've never had a bad coffee nor pastry here. They have a great selection of house made syrups, along with a rotating list of monthly specialty drinks, so there's always something new to try!! The shop itself is tiny, but has such a cozy, welcoming vibe and is the perfect little spot to catch up with a friend. Definitely worth stopping in if you're in the area!

I finally had the absolute pleasure of visiting Crossroads recently. What an outstanding place…read more Super awesome, cool and friendly owner/staff. Inviting comfy space. So far, I have only tried the one latte, the jasmine peach latte, which had peach puree, house made jasmine syrup, house made white tea cold foam and dried peaches. It was probably the best latte I have ever had. While their specialty drinks are only available small & medium, their sizes are 16 oz, 20 oz, 24 oz, so the small is actually the equivalent of some shops' large. I have only heard good things about their baked goods/pastries and they both looked and sounded amazing. I can't wait to try one hopefully very soon! Overall it was as close to a perfect experience as you get. Must try for sure. Immediate top spot for me.

Definitely a special spot to visit and get a tasty meal. The staff is attentive and friendlyread more

I suppose that's a bit on me for ordering it hot but other than the chicken being delicious, the rest of the wrap was not much to write home about. There was an orange tortilla surrounding that and I'm not sure if it was flavored or just the type or what but it wasn't my favorite. Somewhere between it sticking to my teeth and the color was the feeling that it wasn't the most appetizing. I may be back just to try it again and update my review but it was a way out of my way from work so tbd. Thank you anyway!

I am extremely happy that I finally made it to Latte Soul. A friend with similar coffee taste to me…read morehas been raving about them, so that of course moved them up my list of places to visit. She had specifically mentioned their cookie butter latte, which I believe is a special, but was still available at least when I went. Full disclosure, that could change. Their list of signatures though was also extremely impressive and I was almost tempted to go with one them! So the cookie butter biscoff iced latte had a cookie butter base, biscoff around the cup, house made biscoff whip and cookie crumbles. The latte was $9, about the going rate for a 20 ounce. However, they were extremely generous with the amount of toppings they used. Lots of whip and an unprecedented amount of cookie butter on the cup! Wow. All I can say is that I am normally one to wipe/ lick the cup completely bare, and enjoy every drop. I could not in this case with how generous they were with the cookie butter. Not a bad thing, and had they gone lighter, perhaps the overall flavor of the drink would have been negatively impacted. It was delicious... I may even go as far as to say it was the best biscoff latte I've had. That would be saying something, I've had many! It did drink a bit heavier than many other lattes, but again, that's not really a bad thing. Something to keep in mind depending on personal preference/needs. It was a brightly decorated and fun environment. It's not a big space, so probably not ideal for coffee meetings or things like that, but there is seating and again, it's a nice space. Extremely welcoming and more than happy to offer insight and help. It's a definite must try for latte lovers! Will definitely be back.

This is the cutest little coffee shop in the area! I'm wondering why it took me so long to visit…read moreLatte Soul because this stop is a must. It's a cozy, whimsy coffee shop with fun photo ops, specialty tea and coffee. It's nearby Quinnipiac and likely serves a younger demographic. I have seen and followed this shop on Instagram since they had opened and was on my list. The service was great, the ladies helping me was so nice. I tried a seasonal special called Nadine's Guava Matcha Latte--a flavor I haven't seen anywhere else. It had guava pure and guava whip which all looked made in house. The matcha was a good flavor too. The drink was too sweet for me and would likely order less sweet next time. I would like to try one of their coffee drinks next time. If you are in the Hamden area, I definitely recommend giving Latte Soul a try.

It did not disappoint. The sandwich is topped with a toasted pretzel bun. The sandwich contained eggs, crispy bacon, melted cheddar, chipotle aioli and hash brown patty. I also got the side of hash browns and the suggested paired drink of the Cookie Monster. The Cookie Monster is a cookie butter, cold brew topped with cookie butter cold foam. All of these items were very delicious. I do have to note my stomach didn't exactly enjoy the combination but a couple steps of Gingerale and I was good to go. That place was fairly busy. It was Friday night around 6 PM that I went. Staff was super friendly and walked me through the process as I've never been there before, so it was very easy to understand the process.

They have some seating within the mix of the giant coffee roaster area. There were a few people hanging out and people coming and going. The shop was cute, but they were fitting a lot into a little space too. I ordered a black iced coffee. I asked what they used and they just told me it was a medium roast. I assume that means they're using a blend of some sort since you would tend to highlight a high end Single Origin coffee if somebody asked. In any event, service was friendly and efficient. The iced coffee was above average. Smooth. Drinkable. No aftertaste. But it didn't really have any of the flavors of a high end coffee used for iced coffee. Four Stars

Yeah, I totally forgot to review this on Saturday when I actually went. Now that I've made my way…read moreback here, I can now finally work on this review in earnest. I've been meaning to come to this place for a short while now. Honestly, the name of this establishment itself is pretty cool. Loaded Goat? Makes me think "liddy on a stack", and anything that makes me think "liddy on a stack" I gotta go check out. I actually tried to write a review here from the last week, but as I was writing, I'd realized something I don't always come across. I was at an impasse and couldn't finish this review on that visit, so I had to plan another trip here. Right away, I notice that rustic interior that's also quite cozy. There many flavors of coffees and latte to choose from with shots if you want something a little extra. Also, the prices here are very reasonable. I didn't get time to sit inside last time, but this time I had a much more laid-back experience. The vibe reminds me a little of a North Carolina ambiance with a splash of California mixed in for good measure. North Carolina because of the interior, and California because of the music. On this visit, the guy tending to me told me the microwave was down, so I couldn't have my croissant toasted. That was quite alright though since I had 2 more stops to make anyway, with one being about half hour's drive away from here. Besides, the croissant was still one of the better croissants I've had in a long time and seasoned perfectly, so I have no complaints, toasted or not. The coffees I had were the Snickers on my first visit and the Coconut Creme Pie Latte this time around. Both lattes were, indeed, liddies on stacks! They were both GOATED, and honestly I would come here more often if my schedules were more friendly to coming here. I have no complaints about this place period. I don't say this following kind of statement often, but I actually prefer this to Starbuck's! That's just how goated this place is.
