Love this coffee stand! Solid coffee in the cutest area of Stamford. The coffee isn't flavorful, bold, and sure to wake you up! This is a great stop if you're taking a walk on the water or just strolling around Harbor Point. read more

PROOF Coffee Roasters - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

PROOF... of incompetence, racism or both. My wife is a regular customer and usually stops by for an espresso drink as we do not have machine at home. I typically get nothing as their drinks just don't hit the spot for me (average at best). Usually we park on the side of the street going straight into coffee shop and I wait in the car just in case it needs to be moved. She hops out, gets her drinks and the whole thing takes maybe 3-5 min. Today, I was chilling in the car waiting for her, but all over sudden realized that at least 5 people that placed the orders after her and were served before her (espresso drinks and all). Turns out that she ordered double espresso for her and half-caf/half-decaf for me. The staff couldn't execute the drinks or whatnot (they don't do decaf? don't know what double espresso is?) and just kept her waiting while servicing other customers. At some point I guess, they just stopped responding to her inquiries about the drinks. Finally a different person appeared on the shift, my wife got her money back, and we left. Why racist? Hm... Let me think, would the same thing happen to white American male? That is, waiting for 15 minutes for inept staff? The staff was probably new as my wife have not seen them before, but that is no excuse for the lack of basic decency. read more

A small Americano and a small decaf Americano for $13.75. Shame on me. The prices on the board are clearly not updated, as they quote (a range) of $5-5.50 for a small. There is a small cardboard sign lamenting inflation and cost increases, but for $15 (I tipped a buck for good measure) for two coffees, you can only get me once. Good luck with your business model. To quote George W. Bush, "You can only fool me once." read more

Very polite staff. Quality coffee. It's definitely worth traveling to for a cup if coffee and then walk around the river side or head to work read more

Recently moved to HP and love that this coffee shop is on the route I walk my dog. The staff are so nice! They offer your dog milk bone cookies, which is so cute. I got an iced latte both visits, and the taste is consistent. The espresso is nice and strong, despite the milk and ice. The everything bagel with cream cheese was chefs kiss. I felt the amount of cream cheese, while on the lighter side, was perfect. Not the giant globs you get at bagel shops. What really solidified this place and will make me a regular is that my dog knocked my latte over while I was getting up to grab my bagel. Half the container spilled. So of course I was mortified and sad about losing my coffee, but the guy who was working made me a new coffee and was so sweet about it. Love this place! read more

I LOVE this place and visit frequently, they always make my drink so good and i'm always happy to come by because the staff has such great attitudes ! They usually take a couple minutes to make your drink if they are busy but the drink always comes out tasting great! read more

Super kind staff! They get my drinks out quickly, and they are always 100% quality. Their pup cups and ice cream are so adorable, and everything is always clean. read more

Most consistent coffee shop in Stamford! I swear no one else can dial in an espresso machine to save their life. Fantastic staffing too, they're always super friendly. Only downside is they're across town from me so I can only drop in every now and again. read more

Great banana bread and amazing staff! Very quick and recognize regular customers. I really love the matcha latte.

My first time here! I tried the lavender latte and it was nice and warm (not too hot so if you prefer hot you might have to ask for it). There's plenty of outdoor seating along the great lawn. Docked one star because the menu said $5.25 for a lavender latte but I was charged $.75 extra for the lavender. I didn't say anything bc I noticed it on my receipt while I was waiting for my drink on the other side of the kiosk. Docked another star because I asked for skim or 2% and got whole milk. Please charge what you have listed on your menu sheet and not sneak it in. And please give customer what they order. read more

Proof is THE place to get coffee in Habor Point. Before i get into how delicious their products are, let me say this: their prices reflect their quality. If you want half assed cheap coffee go across the street to the deli or any of the 2 star rated dunkin's in the area. The coffee at PROOF is certified organic AND sustainably sourced (something that is personally very important to me), part of proceeds are donated to mental health charities, they only hire locally (and, to my understanding, pay their workers a good wage), their pastries are from local bakeries/vendors, and their breakfast sandwhiches put places like starbucks/dunkin to shame. The first time i got a breakfast sandwhich from here i was literally drooling. i wish i could remember what i got!! But it was last year and i think it's no longer on their menu anyway! I've only been here a handful of times since i do not live in stamford full time, but it's a 3 min walk from my bf's apartment (where i sometimes WFH) and is the best midday pick-me-up a girl can ask for. My most recent visit i ordered an iced oat chai latte and some citrusy scone that was HUGE and to die for. I should've taken a picture but it's size was equivalent to like 2.5 starbucks scones!!! My man tried it when he got home and also loved it. The location is great, lots of dogs are around as it is in a park, right next to a beautiful fountain. Plenty of places to sit around there too! Only thing you may not find is a good parking spot LOL. But that's a stamford problem. The only sad thing i have to say is that they emailed me a 20% off code that i CAN'T USE bc i won't be back in stamford until two days after it expires :((( BIG SAD. But i will still be back as i have yet to try their matcha and indulge in more oversized scones while sitting by the fountain. :) read more

PROOF Coffee Roasters - no idea what breakfast sandwhich this was but it was PHENOMAL - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

There is no place to sit. It's an outdoor coffee shop. In the winter it's not great. It took a very long time to get our Mocha Lattes, and there was no line. We must have waited at least 15 minutes. The coffee was lukewarm. Not a very satisfying coffee experience. read more

Josh, the manager, convinced us to try this new spot & it did not disappoint! As vegans, it's usually hard to find a pumpkin syrup that doesn't contain dairy & lucky for us, PROOF has us covered! Their pumpkin spice syrup is VEGAN! Check out the beautiful design Josh made me! The little stand is so cute and located perfectly in Commons Park! You're surrounded by adorable dogs, lively Harbor Point & the friendly faces of the employees at PROOF! Would definitely recommend you give this place a try for yourself read more

PROOF Coffee Roasters - Pumpkin Spice Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

While taking a leisurely walk with the pup this morning, I decided to stop at PROOF for a quick bite and a much-needed cup of coffee. I opted for a mocha Frappuccino that hit all the right notes, perfectly blending the flavors of coffee and chocolate. The warm staff also gave my dog a cookie, which definitely made her morning! I also ordered a croissant that was everything I could have hoped for - soft, flaky, and simply delightful. I decided to take a seat at one of the tables and soaked up the gorgeous weather while being entertained by playful dogs in Commons Park. It was such a peaceful and joyful way to start the day! read more

PROOF Coffee Roasters - Mocha Frappuccino and plain croissant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

My favorite coffee spot in harbor point! Conveniently located right in the middle of the main meadow near the park and grass. I always get their hot coffee which is like rocket fuel for me. Their pastries are great too, I like their chocolate croissants though I also have friends who have raved about their bagels and other snacks. The folks who work there are also super friendly - our dog loves coming with us for a pup-cup and a treat! read more

Perfect popup providing phenomenal proof coffee. By far the best in town. Worth the ride. Grab a beverage, snack, and take a stroll round the dog park to Harbor Pt pier to see stunning Sound views. But seriously, this coffee is fire! EXCLUSIVE: Breakfast sandwiches on the grille en route and coming soon! In the meantime Eric's Bagels sure hit the spot and do the trick. Pro tip: Toasted salt bagels refuel electrolytes while bike riding downtown. read more

PROOF Coffee Roasters - Iced Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

Service here is not the same. The old staff was honestly so incredible, but unfortunately the new staff looks so bothered even to serve you as if it's a waste of the entire time. It is genuinely such a waste of space in Harbor Point. The line is always ridiculous, the new staff is rude and can never manage. This place never has anything in stock, so over this awful place wasting space in Harbor Point. Save yourself the headache!! read more

This was WAS my favorite coffee shop. This has clearly come under new management and the breakfast sandwich is a joke. $8 dollars for HALF A SANDWICH? On focaccia bread...you mean multigrain toast? read more

They sell stale baked goods and bitter coffee. The owner is a local who saw an opportunity to rip off suburban moms and nannies who have no other option in the area. If you have to grab something outside, head to Corbo's or the Austrian bakery or make the short drive to Lorca. read more

I have gone to this location a few times and the sandwiches made off the grill have been pretty yummy

One of the best cappuccino's around and tons of outdoor seating in a pretty park setting.

They changed the food menu from the last time we were here back in May. Sandwiches are a bit more unique now. The veggie sandwich was good. I don't understand why all the egg sandwiches have mozz in them though. They don't have like a plain BEC but the food looks interesting. The latte was good. They have macademia nut milk, but no almond milk. Its nice that this is in the park. A good coffee option. read more

Great place. Great coffee! Great location on Harbor Point Commons Park right by the fountain. Plenty of places to sit while you enjoy some fresh air and some of their fresh roasted coffee. Places like PROOF that roast their own just seem to be a better experience. read more

It's good and I enjoy it but it's way too overpriced! A bagel with butter and a small hot coffee for $10! sometimes even an iced coffee is $7! The staff is always very friendly, though! read more

Hi, Your shop is terrific. Thank you for opening, weathering the pandemic and helping make Harbor Point even better. The coffee is so good (and organic) that we now buy all of our coffee for home use from your online store. The Guatemala is just perfect for our taste. We are wondering if it's possible to provide half and half for customers to use for drip coffee as well as for the barista to use to make breve latte? That would be great. Thank you! read more

It was honestly such a great experience. I'm not a coffee connoisseur or anything I do love coffee tho, but the barista really took their time to recommend the different types of beans and flavorings; in the end, I had crazy good coffee and a delicious bagel as well! I'll keep coming back; everyone was super friendly, and overall just an awesome place for coffee lovers! read more

Despite no one being in line, we waited 10 minutes for the barista to pop his head up from behind the wall to take our order. Paid $8 for a vanilla iced latte, that tasted more like milk with a little coffee flavoring. ill be looking elsewhere to get my coffee fix in Harbor Point.. read more

I hardly ever write reviews for anything. This is an awesome little spot, in a small park area in Stamford. Kinda reminds me of a place you would see in Manhattan, and it would make sense because PROOF has locations in the city as I found out. I stopped for a quick to go coffee and the guy who made it, Josh, wasn't just putting coffee in a travel mug for me, I could tell he liked what he was doing. He told me he's worked in a few local coffee shops over the last few years and told me about the different beans they use, totally over my head but the point is, they know their coffee. The owner Jeff was there too and it was great talking with him as well. Thanks for the great coffee and good conversation guys! read more

We love this coffee shop and are very grateful to be walking distance from it. The breakfast sandwiches are delicious and a must try! read more

A local spot in the middle of Commons Park, Proof had huge shoes to fill when Walter's went out. Great coffees and cute pastries. I'm wondering if they're going to add anything additional or limited for the summer season. A little overpriced but delicious in taste. A must if you're in the area! read more

Best Coffee in Fairfield County! They're short staffed so the kitchen is closed and service can be slow but it's worth it. I always get sad when I finish my drink. It's in a park so bring your dog or just happily dog watch while you drink this amazing elixir. read more

The coffee was burnt and bitter. Awful... I think you guys need to check out what happened with your beans since they taste super burnt. For such a great location I wish the coffee was good read more

Delicious coffee! One of the best caramel lattes I've ever had (made with whole milk), perfect for a stroll around the cute neighborhood. Service was fast and the baristas very knowledgeable. Highly recommend! read more

Reviewer Chris J. nailed it. Lots of turnover here. Employees are friendly but some don't know how or still learning how to use the latte/cappuccino machine. It's disappointing trying to get a hot latte drink only to sip a lukewarm one. It's hit or miss. They're happy to make you a new one. I've recommended a thermometer to use in the in the milk frother cup so they don't have to guess if the milk is hot enough (Starbuck's uses a thermometer!). I go here out of convenience since I live across the street. I've had breakfast food here which is pretty good. The alternative is to walk a little further to Patisserie Salzburg which is consistently excellent. PCR will still get my business but could always improve. They have a captive audience! read more

As a bona fide coffee lover I am hard to please. I'd heard great things about Proof coffee so I expected it to be delicious. OMG. Seriously, this is THE BEST coffee I've had in my 40 years of coffee drinking. I usually like cream & sugar with coffee, but this Proof coffee is so amazing, flavorful & smooth I chose to go without any sweetener for my second cup. That's how I will drink it from now on (only Proof coffee, though). I had the Swiss decaf. It had delightful, subtle hints of chocolate, earthy notes, lots of depth to the flavor and a natural sweetness. The service was excellent and the staff were very friendly. Such a wonderful experience. I'll definitely be back! read more

Pretty easily the best coffee in town. Excellent breakfast sandwiches. Became my new favorite spot immediately.

Mercedes and zay are the best and they work hard alot and the food they make is yummy I give it a 5 star review!

This is the best coffee in Stamford. The staff is very nice & courteous. Everything is delicious!! Definitely go everyday. Enjoy!

Great location but very pricy. Also the 2 times I've been there, drinks are never hot- just lukewarm! If I'm paying $6 for a small latte, I'd at least expect it to be hot! This place has a lot of potential but with their high prices and limited food options, I don't see it surviving. read more

Proof Coffee Roasters is an excellent addition to the Harbor Point. It is a great place to grab a cup and enjoy it sitting at the park or walking around the harbor. The coffee and espresso drinks are excellent! I also enjoy their roasted beans for sale. I have a preference for the light roasted coffee beans from Guatemala, but there are medium and dark roast available too. The manger, Josh and staff are very knowledge, friendly and consistently prepare excellent espresso drinks. Just great coffee!!! read more
