This location was on the corner with steep steps; just a note, it's not wheelchair accessible. We were walking by and needed our caffeine fix. A family member also recommended the coffee shop to us, and has been going for years. Inside, there were a few tables to sit at. The customer service was good. I ordered a medium iced latte and it was good. It's a good spot to do some work too on your laptop, if you can find a table. Coffee can be purchased by wholesale too. Overall, a cute coffee shop serving coffee and tea. They're doing something right if they've been around since 1985!

There were several tables, mostly occupied by people who I assume were students. I did not hear anybody discussing the most current theories on the use of columns, but I'm confident they were thinking it. While this is not one of the nicer looking Willoughby's, the black iced coffee was very good. Smooth going down. Good aftertaste. Willoughby's is indeed about serious coffee. 4 Stars

This is my favorite brunch place in New Haven by far! We come here often and it is right across the…read morestreet from where we used to live. My husband and I always get the same thing and split it as it is enough for 2. The blueberry pancakes are delicious! Omelettes yummy (well seasoned) - we always add mushrooms, ground impossible sausage and spinach. I usually get a chai latte or seasonal latte and hubby gets the lavender lemonade. Service is fast and the energy is lively and although always busy, they never rush you out. We also love the neighborhood and always run into friends here, it has an energy of "it's the place to be".

This morning, I met some friends here and ordered the Poppy's Breakfast and an iced Vietnamese coffee. I was pleased and overall we had a great experience. Additionally, I noticed they have an updated menu, which is always exciting to see a business improve. Poppy's is definitely a place I recommend and I look forward to coming back in the future.

I stopped in for a cortado, three shots of espresso with oat milk, no sugar, and it was perfectly balanced and delicious. The service was excellent from start to finish. They greeted me right away, spelled my name correctly, which is rare, and even called it out properly when my drink was ready. The café itself is inside a warm, inviting building with seating in the shop and throughout the hallways. With the walking path nearby and the dog friendly environment, it is the perfect spot to stop during a morning stroll, before a night out, or while exploring the area. Between the quality coffee, attentive service, and dog friendly atmosphere, Perkatory is a spot I will definitely be returning to.

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.
