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.

Not what was expected, but not bad…read more Missus is on a dumpling kick, so we looked for some of the best dumplings we could find locally. Found this well reviewed shop close by, so we dropped in. The inside is very sparse, lots of stuff strewn around. It was lacking a lot of polish, but it didn't seem too sketchy. We ordered from the nice lady an order of dumplings, pirogies, and a couple of bao buns. Price was good, and food took about 15 minutes to cook but we did some trekking locally to waste time, We got our food, took some pics and dug in. The pirogies were for me, and I must say that they were not pirogies. It was mashed potatoes with cheese in a dumpling wrapper. The dumpling wrappers were fresh, but the dough was not what I expected. The potato and cheese was pretty good though. Didn't use a farmers cheese but did some type of white cheese. The bao were generic. They used the same filling as the dumplings as the bao filling. It really needed a sauce inside to help differentiate it from the dumplings. We also got a black sesame bao, but the inside was very watery and not appetizing at all. So we threw that one away. The owner is a very nice lady, and she's working hard to keep her place busy. It's clear that the stresses of the day keep her strained, but she does mean well enough. For those in the area, it's not a drive to destination. It's pretty good dumplings in a run down shop with an owner fighting to stay afloat. I would recommend going here if you want to support local, and don't mind a bit of grit. The dumplings are fresh, the pirogies are interesting renditions, and they do boba tea.

My foodie-in-training daughter and I are always on the hunt for great bubble tea and happened to be in Milford and this was the closest location. We decided to stop by and are so grateful we did! Parking is tough for this location as it's on the curve of a one way street, with two spots right outside so keep that in mind. We've had to park across at the train station before but it's worth it! Everytime we've popped in the staff has been incredibly sweet, so above and beyond welcoming and helpful with cracking to code to wonderful menu options. They've got some great flavor profiles - like rose, lychee, tiger sugar (which is brown sugar), and more fun flavors. Safe to say, we are very glad to have snagged a loyalty card on our first visit and look forward to filling it up!

Thank God this place exists for people like me. One time I went outside and spilled my tea by mistake, and when I came back in to get napkins, they gave me two new teas free of charge.

I'm a bit of a boba tea snob and I hail from South Florida, I'm just here visiting the area. I…read moredidn't expect much from Hartford, CT. I like my boba to be actual tea plus milk and the only sweetness added comes from the boba. So, I was really grateful when I asked about swapping out the powdered milk for liquid milk. They swapped to lactaid, which is my preferred milk for milk tea. They also allowed me to adjust the sweetness and the ice level. I was still skeptical, given the unassuming store front. But they mixed real, actual, brewed tea with the lactaid. Their boba was the perfect size and consistency. I tried their black and jasmine teas and both were perfectly brewed. You'd be surprised at how often people get the jasmine tea wrong, but these guys checked all the boxes. Keep on being your authentic selves, guys!

This has to be one of my favorite spots in Waterbury. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that…read moreI've visited this restaurant more than two dozen times. The staff here is always incredibly kind and they give amazing portions. They recently redesigned the seating area and have new chairs and tables, very stylish. I love getting the Chicken Gone Wild or Land and Sea. Although the sauce goes well with it, I tend to replace it with the Poke Sauce. Ever since trying it, it's one of my favorite sauces there. My usual is the Chicken Gone Wild bowl with white rice, mixed greens, without the seaweed and tend to add different vegetables in there. I've tried most of the boba there as well, one of my favorites is the Taro Bubble Tea, it reminds me of cereal milk if I had to compare it to something. Others I like are the Strawberry and Mango Bubble Tea, either boba or fruit jelly tastes good with it. This will always be a place I'll catch myself getting addicted to stopping by every now and then. I love feeling great after my meal because it contains both greens and protein. Love this place and is a great addition to Waterbury!

We got a hot taro drink and I heard the milk being microwaved behind where we were sitting. The taro was extremely artificial and difficult to drink through the straw.

The jellies were interesting and the flavor... indescribable. I finished this drink though. I liked the ambiance but wish I could get a refund for this drink order.

My husband ordered a strawberry slush because he doesn't like boba; he wasn't aware his drink would have boba included. At first, he was shocked when he discovered the boba, but he was pleasantly surprised when the boba popped. He said he actually enjoyed the flavor unlike previous boba attempts. We will definitely return if in the area.

So being in the area, decided to come here and pick up some donuts for the ride home. We got here late in the day, and they were out of almost everything when I got there. I managed to get a churro and matcha donut. I then saw they did a Dubai chocolate strawberry cup, and had to give that a try as well ( they only do the cup on the weekends) The donuts were very fresh, light and chewy. They are high in price but much better in quality compared to other places I've tried. The Dubai strawberry cup had a kind of weak chocolate sauce over them. Not the cheapest stuff on the market, but not strong or mellow like the expensive chocolates. The strawberries were fresh, and the Dubai part needed a little salt to counteract the sweet and enhance the earthy. Inside is well decorated but dirty. All the tables were dirty, there's lots of dust and other ditritus when I was waiting for my dessert. It was end of day, so I get why they would not be fully clean. But there's some repairs that need to get done and there's cracks in the facade. Despite the lack of donuts, the quality was good and the Dubai strawberries were a nice sweet treat. This is a good place to get some interesting food items or sweet treats. Not a trek worthy spot, but good if you're around

Once it was our turn to order we were devastated to find out that they were out of the K-dog batter and could no longer make any so we decided to get extra sweets instead. Overall the deserts were absolutely delicious especially the mochi donuts I would recommend the ones that we tried but of course I'm sure the others taste delicious as well. Our least favorite was probably the crepe cake but that doesn't mean it wasn't also good me and my friend just thought the batter could use a little more flavor. My friend bought the coconut cake and when she first tried it she didn't like it all that much but she said that once she put it in the fridge the texture and flavor of the cake was much better and rated it an 8/10. Aside from the pastries I ordered a mango fruit tea with passion fruit popping boba and I was a bit underwhelmed. The flavor of the fruit tea is lacking a bit but I feel my taste buds were a bit altered after so many sweet treats. I will definitely be back again to give the boba another shot and finally get my hands on those k-dogs!
