A new day, a new coffee place to start a morning…read more I've actually been sitting on this review since August 8th, and originally, I was going to wait for another visit before I gave this a proper review. However, the more time I have actually had to sit with my thoughts of it, the more I realized I could just write one now and possibly update it later. So here we are at Cheshire Coffee, a coffee spot that sits oddly enough on the Waterbury side of the town line with Cheshire. Seriously, this place I don't even have to go outside my city limits for, and it is, notably enough in between the same two exits on I-84 as Blackie's is across the line. Much like The Loaded Goat Coffee Company in Naugatuck, this place is very inviting, cozy, with great coffees and excellent customer service. This visit involved an asiago bagel toasted with cream cheese, a beef chimichurri sandwich that the baristas panini-pressed for me, and a Churro Latte. All 3 of these things were good to great. Really, this review is mainly a 4-star review in the way that a place I don't have much of an impression on would get 4 stars. I would need to come back for more things to decide whether or not a 5th star would be warranted. But the interior helps makes a strong case for that star. I was most impressed with the poem on display as I was waiting for my coffee. It's not a detail I've shared yet here on Yelp, but this visit 's prompt me to say this now. So fun fact about me is that once upon a time, I wrote poetry. Late sophomore year of high school and going for a few years after and starting in 2007, I wrote poems any time I felt inspired to do so. I once attended a poetry slam that was held by my high school later in 2007 when I was in the first half of my junior year, and boy was that a great experience! Seeing the poem on display, I am really starting to think about getting back into writing poetry. I just need to find a muse and inspirations. This is honestly a great coffee option if I want to start traveling anywhere eastbound towards Hartford and such. I would totally come back in a situation that allows for it and try some other items.

Swung past to start an early day and overall had a good time. We ordered the following:…read more Samoa latte: 8/10 nice concept and pretty good. A little too sweet for her liking but more so personal preference. Strawberry banana smoothie: 7/10 pretty good, no complaints. Spinach and feta croissant: 5/10 edible but very lack laster. Customer service wasn't bad. Drinks were made fast. They forgot to put my croissant in the oven so had to wait extra time. Plenty of seating. Decent decor. I like that the special/seasonals were by the front. Also that they had the workers favorite items.

Discovered this place when we considered moving into the area. We ended up moving somewhere else,…read morebut I still wanted to come back at some point and I'm glad we did. Came in right after opening and it was only us and the two workers who took our order and made everything. Loved the cottagecore vibes. Couldn't believe how large a menu such a small place had. Plus that weekly specials board. Everything we had was excellent and we absolutely be coming back.

Very welcoming and eclectic coffee shop. Food was very good as well as the coffee!…read more We talked for hours and felt very welcomed. Great establishment

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.

I like my coffee sweet, so the self-service bar was perfect for customizing. Somewhere they say this is the #1 coffee in the state... I'm not so sure.

The cortado I ordered was perfectly crafted with good flavor, and the service was extremely friendly and personable. They offer a good selection of breakfast sandwiches and toasts, and the salmon avocado toast I ordered was pretty tasty, although the portion was slightly smaller than expected. Super easy parking outside the cafe. I'd pop in again on my next drive through the area.

I ordered Caramel Biscotti Latte and it was delicious- perfect texture and balanced taste. There is plenty of tables to sit inside. Can't wait to be back to try more lattes and I'm sure it would be a great evening to sip an iced latte while seating outdoors on their patio in warm weather.

When you walk in, it's really a nice break from reality with all of the whimsical, antique, speakeasy feel. You can sip on tea and coffee and walk around the shop. Nice size biscotti went well with their tea. I had the blueberry muffin also. My friend and I had two cups of tea that were great! Staff is super nice and we could have spent more than 2 hrs in there just relaxing and catching up. I look forward to going back there. It's a nice intimate space to sit alone or a couple of friends.

It was not my jam but could work for some. They offer real maple syrup from the White family for a $1.00 charge. I do not know if my MAPLE _________ latte had it or not, but it was too legit to quit. Not too sweet either. Clear maple taste. Whole milk requested. Served in a mug with quality java. RATING = A. The interior is country quaint basic and not going overboard but rather erring simple and open without crowding with stuff. The location is great at the bottom of the slope in downtown. APPLE FRITTER with MAPLE GLAZE: -- I would have preferred a plain cake donut or old-fashioned cake with maple glaze, but this was good -- semi-firm -- medium-sized -- moderate amount of maple glaze has authentic color and taste -- not a sugar bomb -- dark color to bread -- not soft inside, medium-soft inside -- up to medium sweet -- not oily or greasy, tastes more on "slightly" healthy style RATING = A- SFOGLIATELLE pastry: -- this clam shell looking pastry is filled with sweet ricotta cheese -- moderate amount of cheese -- lightly sweet -- tasty -- bread is semi-firm -- I am more of a Zeppole fan, but this is good RATING = A They have bags of Ethiopian coffee which is funny because everywhere we go we see Ethiopian coffee for sale lately. The last time was in September in Portland, Oregon.

Ordered 2 banditos (which is our favorite) to go and got home to 2 sausage egg and cheeses. Opened up my matcha and poured it into a mug because I was convinced it settled on the bottom based on the color. But it was 99% milk. Honestly couldn't really drink it unfortunately. It's really a shame because we used to come more often and was so excited to go back to get my regular sandwich. It tasted fine. Just not what we ordered. And it wasn't like we received someone else's order, they just gave us something else.
