They had many other great latte options, but I was able to hold myself to the one that finally lured me in the door. It was a vanilla & cherry iced latte with cherry cold foam, & the 3 cherry "eyeballs" floating in it. The flavor combination is one I adore in coffee anyway, but this was a great drink. Well balanced, light on the sweetness. Bright, pure flavors. I loved it. I also tho if by the price was reasonable for the size and quality of the latte. It was a great environment inside, nicely decorated and bright. Very friendly/welcoming staff. Just a straight forward great experience. I look forward to future visits and trying more drinks!! There are actually a few other monthly specials I'd like to try, so a return may be sooner than later. Definite recommend.

It did not disappoint. The sandwich is topped with a toasted pretzel bun. The sandwich contained eggs, crispy bacon, melted cheddar, chipotle aioli and hash brown patty.

All of these items were very delicious. I do have to note my stomach didn't exactly enjoy the combination but a couple steps of Gingerale and I was good to go. That place was fairly busy. It was Friday night around 6 PM that I went. Staff was super friendly and walked me through the process as I've never been there before, so it was very easy to understand the process.

They have a great selection of house made syrups, along with a rotating list of monthly specialty drinks, so there's always something new to try!! The shop itself is tiny, but has such a cozy, welcoming vibe and is the perfect little spot to catch up with a friend. Definitely worth stopping in if you're in the area!

Very good pricing and kudos to them for using and making homemade syrups! I am a matcha guy so I get an iced matcha latte with vanilla cream cold brew. My wife has had the special Cherry Cold Brew which sells out quick and some lattes with cinnamon brown sugar, fantastic. I vow to get there early enough one of these days to try their blueberry muffins, always sells out quick. They have a host of other pastries as well, you are missing out if you don't try this place.

I suppose that's a bit on me for ordering it hot but other than the chicken being delicious, the rest of the wrap was not much to write home about. There was an orange tortilla surrounding that and I'm not sure if it was flavored or just the type or what but it wasn't my favorite. Somewhere between it sticking to my teeth and the color was the feeling that it wasn't the most appetizing. I may be back just to try it again and update my review but it was a way out of my way from work so tbd. Thank you anyway!

I am extremely happy that I finally made it to Latte Soul. A friend with similar coffee taste to me…read morehas been raving about them, so that of course moved them up my list of places to visit. She had specifically mentioned their cookie butter latte, which I believe is a special, but was still available at least when I went. Full disclosure, that could change. Their list of signatures though was also extremely impressive and I was almost tempted to go with one them! So the cookie butter biscoff iced latte had a cookie butter base, biscoff around the cup, house made biscoff whip and cookie crumbles. The latte was $9, about the going rate for a 20 ounce. However, they were extremely generous with the amount of toppings they used. Lots of whip and an unprecedented amount of cookie butter on the cup! Wow. All I can say is that I am normally one to wipe/ lick the cup completely bare, and enjoy every drop. I could not in this case with how generous they were with the cookie butter. Not a bad thing, and had they gone lighter, perhaps the overall flavor of the drink would have been negatively impacted. It was delicious... I may even go as far as to say it was the best biscoff latte I've had. That would be saying something, I've had many! It did drink a bit heavier than many other lattes, but again, that's not really a bad thing. Something to keep in mind depending on personal preference/needs. It was a brightly decorated and fun environment. It's not a big space, so probably not ideal for coffee meetings or things like that, but there is seating and again, it's a nice space. Extremely welcoming and more than happy to offer insight and help. It's a definite must try for latte lovers! Will definitely be back.

This is the cutest little coffee shop in the area! I'm wondering why it took me so long to visit…read moreLatte Soul because this stop is a must. It's a cozy, whimsy coffee shop with fun photo ops, specialty tea and coffee. It's nearby Quinnipiac and likely serves a younger demographic. I have seen and followed this shop on Instagram since they had opened and was on my list. The service was great, the ladies helping me was so nice. I tried a seasonal special called Nadine's Guava Matcha Latte--a flavor I haven't seen anywhere else. It had guava pure and guava whip which all looked made in house. The matcha was a good flavor too. The drink was too sweet for me and would likely order less sweet next time. I would like to try one of their coffee drinks next time. If you are in the Hamden area, I definitely recommend giving Latte Soul a try.

They offer student discounts for drinks which is also lovely. I got the moonrise latte (combo of dark chocolate and white chocolate mocha) and it was delicious! Very strong, not too sweet, and a great balance. If I was in the area again, I would drop by for a drink to go.
