Pros: Beautiful space!! Coffee tasted good. Good array of pastries…read more Cons: Customer services can improve. No welcome greeting. Had asked Barista for an iced decaf latte with almond milk and specifically asked for it not to be too sweet. She handed me a hot latte, and latte was very sweet. Cost of a small latte was over $8.50, way overpriced compared to other local cafes. I really root for local businesses around Fairfield county. As prices rise in this economy, what's intangible is the experience each customer leaves with from a business. It's vital that these businesses make sure they people that are welcoming and have the ability to listen to their customers. Hoping this gets fixed.

First time here and I was not impressed at all. I asked the employees what was popular and I got a…read morevague response saying flavor lattes and it was left at that, so that doesn't really leave you with much to consider unfortunately. The coffees are fresh yes I will say that but I asked for a small caramel flavor and just received a black large coffee, the hazelnut coffee also did not taste like anything. The egg spinach wrap had no flavor, the egg was way too over cooked & overloaded with spinach the only thing giving it flavor was the hot sauce. The bagel was okay, I personally like them to be more toasted but it is what it is. Pastries are definitely giving Costco for sure. Highly doubt I would be coming back, and definitely wouldn't recommend.

On more than one occasion, the lid wasn't on the coffee spilled. Wants the whole body get out and the coffee went all over the place. The desserts are good, but some of them are just from Costco. I literally saw the same pack of cakes that were in the case! On a positive note, the coffee is absolutely fresh and delicious and the ground the beans there.

As the address might indicate, Shearwater Coffee Roasters lies in a small industrial complex that…read morehouses small and medium-sized businesses. This location is where the Shearwater beans are actually roasted (in 20lb batches, which counts as "really small" in the coffee industry). When I came by, I received a friendly and enthusiastic greeting from the personnel on site, who expressed no annoyance at being diverted from their normal wholesale activities. Shearwater has good beans, and those beans are roasted with care. I came in for some ground coffee that I could use while visiting Central Connecticut and walked away with a full pound of roasted coffee in the bean, 12oz of ground coffee, and a cold brew coffee to drink on my way back. The cold brew was delicious, and I liked the ground coffee (Honduras, I think) as well. The unground coffee made its way down to Philadelphia, where it's giving great pleasure to its recipients. Although Shearwater has espresso machines and some pour-over equipment on site, only the cold brew was available to retail customers like me. That was fair enough, but still somehow disappointing. If you're around Trumbull and are looking for some excellent coffee to take home, head directly to Shearwater without passing Go. Check their hours before you do, though; note for example that they close at 2PM on Fridays.

That being said, they always have at least one coffee brewing. On this early weekday afternoon, I got a 12 ounce of the Running Rapids (usually their cold brew) for $3.19. As other Yelpers have mentioned, there's no milk or sugar, leading to a pure and complex coffee experience. After letting it cool a bit, it was very deep and flavorful. It was nice to see a bit of the operation since the space is open. There are a few shelves with coffee accessories and a few stools for perching.

The place was pretty crowded with a lot of excitement displayed by the customers. The menu is pretty decent with choices of coffee, tea and other drinks, along with empanadas of all sorts, milk cake, baklava, toasts and muffins. The decor is modern middle Eastern, , with large mirrors with Arabic words gracing the walls. There is enough seatings in the form of chairs and sofas. As customary of us, we tried everything from empanadas to the tea and to top it off went for the honeycomb bread. Everything was really good, specially the empanadas which was very flavorful. Service was very prompt and courteous which is always a good sign. Good addition to the norwalk coffee scene as we desperately needed more variety. Will be on my list of regulars
