    Seasonal strawberry lemonade
    Julia H.

    Been here so many times and have not yet written a review! They have really good drinks and food! So far we have tried the following - kids chicken tenders - buttermilk fried chicken sandwich - breakfast burrito - roost English muffin sandwich - Korean cheesesteak sandwich - chopped Cobb - overnight oats - lemonade - strawberry lemonade - ice chai - mermaid latte (blue matcha) - vanilla latte - power green smoothie All is really good! You will be amazed on how tasty the food is - especially paired with the hot sauce! Of everything we have tried so far on the menu - the breakfast ones are definitely the fav. Although be prepared to drop a bit of $$. And they are a cashless cafe.

    Turkey avocado and bacon sandwich
    Teena S.

    My favorite sandwich place in Darien. The online ordering system and pick up is so easy. My favorite sandwich is the Fresh Roast Turkey Sandwich (arugula, bacon, Mayo, turkey, avocado with an onion jam) - I tried it twice. Once without the onion jam and the second time with the onion jam on the side. The onion jam was really good! Kids menu is great - decently priced too! Chicken tenders - My son loved it and he eats it all up! Grilled cheese sandwich - My daughter loved their grilled cheese and she's super picky!! I haven't been able to try other items but their breakfast menu looks delicious. Can't wait to come back and try other items!

    5 stars for all these places we've been trying in and around New Canaan including this little gem of a coffee shop. Of course the coffee is good. Nice atmosphere. And New England charm.

    I do not understand some of the reviews for this place. The coffee was sour, employees were unfriendly and unhelpful. I would not return.

The space is filled with thoughtful details, eye-catching pictures, and has such a relaxing vibe that it's perfect for unwinding or catching up with friends. The service was top tier. The staff was welcoming, patient, and conversational, which made my first visit here even better. I ordered their cold brew coffee with oat milk and two shots of vanilla. It had great flavor and the perfect caffeine kick. Based on their recommendation, I also tried the coffee crumb cake, and wow. It was fresh, moist, buttery, with the perfect touch of cinnamon. Honestly one of the best I've had. Parking can be a little tricky when it's busy, but it's absolutely worth it for the experience. I would highly recommend Humbled Coffee House to anyone and will definitely be back, especially for that crumb cake.

Local bakery Absolutely love that they use a bakery from Westchester county. Fresh and delicious, DAILY. 4. Aesthetic Easily the best, most pleasing aesthetic. I love the Bible verses, life quotes, beautiful artwork, books, prayer wall, benches, literally everything. You can't go wrong when you go to Humbled.

Just…read morebe prepared for paid street parking, which can be a bit challenging depending on the time of day. Inside, the café is clean, inviting, and has a warm atmosphere that's perfect for grabbing a coffee or catching up with a friend. I ordered a large cold brew with vanilla syrup, and it was easily the highlight of my visit. Smooth, refreshing, and nicely balanced without being overly sweet. I would absolutely order it again. For food, I tried the Breakfast Burrito, although it's really closer to a Crunchwrap than a traditional burrito. It comes with scrambled eggs, bacon, peppers and onions, cheddar cheese, avocado mash, tater tots, and lima crema. On paper, it sounded like a home run. Unfortunately, the execution did not live up to the description. It ended up being extremely greasy, mushy, and surprisingly lacking flavor despite having so many ingredients. I kept expecting each bite to get better, but it never really did. It was one of those dishes that had a lot of potential but just missed the mark. My cold brew and breakfast came to $23.84 with tax, which felt a little expensive for a breakfast wrap and coffee. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the coffee because it was excellent. As for the food, I'd probably try something different next time. If the kitchen can match the quality of the coffee, this place could be a real standout.

The quiche was made single serve, so lots of buttery crust with a creamy, rich filling loaded with ham chunks. The side salad was basic with a good homemade lemon vinaigrette. Perfect lunch!

The space itself is beautiful--very minimal with white floors, high vaulted ceilings, and a really open feel. They have a retail wall on the left with some gorgeous ceremonial tea sets imported from Japan that I spent way too much time looking at. As for the drinks, you can tell they aren't cutting corners. They use ceremonial grade matcha from the Mizoguchi family (who apparently have 400 years of history in Kumamoto), and everything is organic. I tried two different vibes: * Golden Hour: This was a standout. It's a mix of coconut, turmeric, ginger, and some warming spices like nutmeg and cardamom. It had a nice little kick from the peppercorn. * Kokuta Hojita Latte: I got this with almond milk. The Japanese black sugar gives it a really deep, toasted sweetness that isn't cloying. The staff was super friendly and nailed the order. Also, side note: they have a modern touchless POS system, which made paying quick and easy. My only gripe--and it has nothing to do with the shop itself--was the seating. It's pretty limited to begin with (a sofa, some small tables, and one Japanese Ceremonial Table). Unfortunately, the "Zen" vibe was a bit ruined by someone hogging the entire ceremonial table with her laptop and books while other people were literally standing around waiting for a spot. Definitely not very zen behavior! Overall, it's a cool spot for a high-quality matcha fix. Just maybe don't expect to lounge for hours if it's busy.

The Atmosphere The location here is stunning. It's a beautiful, open space with massive windows that let in a ton of natural light. Inside, there's a good mix of seating--from a cozy sofa to standard tables and chairs. When the weather is nice, the outdoor seating in the courtyard is the place to be; it's a perfect environment for chatting with friends or focusing on a laptop. The Drinks In my opinion, the quality of the beverages here is a step above Dunkin' or Starbucks. Yes, the price point is a bit higher, but you truly taste the difference. My go-to order is the iced Fall Oat Boy with honey--it's consistently delicious. I also appreciate that they have plenty of vegan options clearly marked on the menu. The Food & Parking The one area that consistently misses the mark for me is the hot sandwiches. I've tried several, including the Deluxe (turkey sausage and egg on a croissant) and the Vegan Deluxe. While the menu pictures look great, reality is something much different. The heating method they use is a letdown. Instead of a light, flaky, crispy croissant, the sandwiches consistently come out soggy and wet, which is a bummer. Pro-tip: Just a heads up that parking in this area can get pretty tight, so give yourself an extra minute to find a spot!
