After some questioning I learned they are out of drip coffee for the day. Staff said they close at 9:00. This seems so odd because apparently for the next 5 hours they will be a coffee shop without drip coffee. Some readers will recognize that I feel like I'm in the Twilight zone here at motw.

The drink was super delicious with a good amount of sweet and chocolate taste. The Cold foam was amazing!! And the highlight of it was the coffee itself, it was a Turkish style coffee that tasted different from most traditional shops. It was really smooth while also being a solid caffeine source! Overall a great cafe that I'd easily comeback to! Drink(50%): 9.3 Staff/service(25%): 7.0 Value(25%): 7.0 Overall: 8.2/10

This was some good coffee!…read more This was our first stop off the train from NYC. We needed a pick me up and energy for that infamous food crawl we were about to get into. So thankful it was in the quiet and quaint neighborhood of New Haven. Such a beautiful area. Very close to all the spots I had bookmarked. Cool coffee shop I gotta say. Spacious and clean. Just the actual vibe alone was relaxing. This is one of those locations where you can actually come sit and not be bothered. Few people inside were working on their laptops, some were just conversing with their friends. The barista was super friendly and worked fast. One thing I noticed and was wowed on was they serve wine as well. I mean how cool is that. Felt like I was at France for a minute, where the cafes serve coffee, tea and qwasonts during the day, and cocktails at night. Very chill. Can't thank them enough for how clean the bathroom was as well. All in all great coffee and service.

Not a lot of favor and no sweet at all which I thought that was interesting. The server did over to add more honey but I opted out because I was in a rush. They seemed business though. A lot of people inside on a winter day doing work. Maybe try a coffee , but they're no Latte Pedaler, at least to me.

Had a few hours to spend in New Haven - so glad I spent them at Pistachio Cafe 2!…read more The decor was excellent, with several areas for larger group seating or 2-4 person tables. The staff was very kind and helpful as this was my first visit. You order at the bar and they bring the food right to your table. The waffles themselves were whole wheat and very filling. The cardamom latte was strong, I would opt for cardamom chai next time. It was fun to try something new. I wish I had bought a few pastries to take home, their display case is very tempting. Excellent for families/date night/solo time.

#17 in my NEW ENGLAND & NY COFFEE SHOP SERIES…read more A small little hole in the wall, family run coffee shop right in the heart of downtown New Haven. This place is definitely a grab and go coffee shop since there is only 1 bar stool to sit inside and it's so small. Just enough room to walk in and order. They have street parking in front, no lot though. They have all your classic coffee shop drinks including some specialty ideas for a normal price. I got my usual iced vanilla latte and it was really sweet. I honestly would get it again or come here again but glad I tried it!

There were packaged items,hot items and cold items as well. I ordered a honey lavender macchiato and it was absolutely delicious. They took my order and then called me when it was ready. It was a little bit loud in there so I didn't head her call my name but it was still hot when I went and checked to see if she called me. That was not her fault. I could have stayed closer. You need a code for the restroom and there is only one single stall. The code is on the bottom of your receipt. I really like that each thing lists ingredients and calories. I love when places do that!

So rude. Came in close to closing for a treat with my…read morefriends. They'd stopped serving drinks and only had macarons and cake slices in the pastry case. Most chairs were up on tables, but a few tables had chairs down and people sat at chairs in the front. 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.

I have always enjoyed a good book & my coffee in the mornings …read more.. SO Bookstore Cafés are just awesome to me. This particular Café is 1 of my 2 favorite to go to. They have an amazing selection of books; old and new; they also have puzzles, mini science experiments, and so many other cool activities for yourself or to do with your kids which I really enjoy. Their coffee and food is pretty good - but the only thing I do not like is the volume of the noise inside. Between everyone talking and the appliances.. you can't hear yourself think. So if noise isn't a bother to you- then i would absolutely recommend coming here I have one place for that needed quiet time and then here for those more vibrant days.

Every person we encountered in Ero Cafe was super friendly! I got a Vietnamese Coffee which was good but strong! I also got a cookie butter iced latte. Now that was Yummy! I used the Bischoff cookie on top to eat the whipped cream. The cup was smeared with cookie butter which made my day! For lunch I had a steak panini. The steak was a shaved steak. The cheese pull I wish I would have gotten a picture of. Along with the panini came a unique salad it was well chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, (another veggie or fruit was in there but I could not tell what is was) and a garlic oil. Im not a big veggie person but this salad was delicious. If someone else was driving or nicer weather for a walk I would for sure go back!

The experience was disappointing from start to finish. The staff came across as cold and…read moreunwelcoming, which set a negative tone right away. 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.

I have no clue how they can afford to add this much bacon to each sandwich. I'm a person for whom a city is made or broken by their breakfast sandwich game, and if Olmo left New Haven I would probably have to move. Keep going here so they can keep putting insane amounts of bacon on each sandwich. The cinnamon raisin cream cheese is also wild.

Tip: Order online from your phone a few minutes before you walk in. Then mention your order to the first person you see - they'll use their handheld to immediately start your order. Otherwise it will get done and put on a shelf to grab. If you order in person, they'll come outside and call your name and hand you your order. Also, I've always found that if I want a table, one always opens up when I'm ready to sit. If you want one, you will get one - just the endless circle of life, dude There are also a few tables around the corner on Whitney. Great place.
