    Just some of the lovely baked goods!
    Gillian J.

    This is such a lovely place. We were in the area and needed caffeine. The service was great, interior was so nicely decorated. My latte was delicious. Perfect foam and flavor. They also have many baked items to choose from. It was hard but PEOPLE look at the picture of the scone. That's an 8x8" box. The scone was ginormous. Sort of like 3 scones in one. If we see in the area again we will definitely stop by. You should too!!

    Finally tried the newest coffee shop in Branford, The Coffee Bean, and what a great addition to the community! The shop is clean, beautifully decorated with available seating and gives off a welcoming, relaxing vibe. There are many options of beverage and food choices with tons of pastries displayed. The woman at the counter was friendly and helpful. I informed her of it being my first time visiting, and she gave some background on the shop. I ordered an iced coffee and a pistachio/apricot croissant. The croissant was soft, fluffy, and flavorful. The coffee was strong (just how I like it!). I will absolutely be returning!

    Great place! Very cute and atmosphere. Enjoying to go there with my daughter for our coffee/milk time. The food is delicious and the owner is very nice lady. Definitely recommend this place!

    Bakery items!

    Cohen's Bagels are my favorite bagels on the shoreline. I first encountered and learned about them…read moreat a 5k road race years ago that it was one of the race's highlights every year for me. Fast forward to today, I love finding Cohen's Bagels at local coffee shops. I finally was able to visit their store and I was very impressed by the selection available since it was after the morning rush. I got a Bagel Melt on my favorite Cheddar Cheese Bagel. This was so cheesy! It had chive cream cheese, cheddar cheese, tomato, and raw onion. The sandwich was very messy. I also got an Iced Chai Tea Latte that was pretty good. I like their bagels because of the variety of flavors, there are chewy, perfectly sized,!and easy to eat. The staff were very friendly and my order came out quick. There was even a large dining room area (this is where you picked up your order). It was very spacious, many tables, clean, and open. I will be back again at Cohen's Bagel because they are my favorite where it's stopping for a quick lunch or grabbing an assortment of bagels and breads for at home.

    Just the worst bagel I've ever had. I ordered a toasted everything with vegetable cream cheese. I…read moregot a microwave warmed sift bagel with a few seeds on it and a heap of the most ridiculous excuse for vegetable cream cheese I've ever seen. A few specs of orange and red and that's it! The cream cheese was a slimy kind of cheese I hope to never taste again. And I paid $4.82 for this privelege! Yuk!

    Sooo I stop in for a rye bagel because almost nobody carries them and AM makes delicious ones. So…read morewhile in line I think, well the weekends coming maybe I'll get a few for the family... the clerk is polite, friendly and Helpful. So I need 9 bagels and then she's like r u sure you don't need 12.. and I really don't, 9 is plenty. But do I go for the dozen?? Sure I do LOL. I get 12, but ohhhhh no If you order 12 they give ya a bakers dozen so now I'm at 13, plus my original rye bagel.. I get my order and I leave, and I think : man I got upsold on bagels! lol I head home, kids get out of school and all happy w fresh bagels. Then the snow comes, Friday night snow, Saturday snow, Saturday nigh snow, Sunday snow and Sunday nights it's snowing again, I go to the bagel and there's 1.5 bagels left and I think to myself, I didn't get upsold... that lady was a bagel angel!! These folks have been snacking on delicious bagels the entire long weekend.. I gotta go back and thank her! lol Oh and FYI, I never sit and eat there but I notice they have a great view I'd the river while you knosh..

    I arrived just before 7am on the morning of Christmas Eve and there was a line already formed that…read morecould have easily been 50-70 feet long. I waited for half hour for the line to move, before I made it inside. They still had plenty of Xmas themed bagels. I got a dozen. The staff were super nice, attentive, and worked really fast to get people in and out as soon as possible. The place itself is nice big bright and inviting. I got a half dozen of their green and red plain bagels, a Jalapeno cheddar bagel with plain cream cheese and bacon (they put lots on yum and it was crispy), and another plain holiday bagel with their Christmas bark cream cheese. These were some of the best bagels I've ever had thus far in my life. The dozen remained warm for an hour after I picked them up. They were so soft all day, from morning, well into the evening. I can't wait to go back and I'm super happy I waited in that line. My family was extremely happy to try them as well. Nice Xmas Eve morning delight.

    DeRocco's in Naugatuck IS pound for pound, my favorite restaurant in the area. I don't say that…read morelightly -- I say it with the confidence of a man who has lived most of his life in NJ and eaten his way through half of Connecticut. Yesterday the Taylor ham was back (cue the heavenly choir), so I did what any self‑respecting Jersey transplant would do: I ordered a classic Taylor ham, egg, and cheese -- salt, pepper, ketchup, of course. And because I've committed to trying something new each visit, I doubled down with an everything bagel stacked with onion, tomato, and honey habanero cream cheese. Unreal. Like, "I need a moment alone with this bagel" unreal. I love this place. The staff. The vibe. The food. The whole thing just hits. It's the kind of spot I openly warn friends and family about -- not because it's dangerous, but because I would go every single day if I didn't physically restrain myself. DeRocco's is my personal breakfast kryptonite. Important note for fellow Taylor ham enthusiasts: I love how thin they slice it here. Makes it super tender and perfect. I'm even considering going double meat next time -- it feels like the portion's been shrinking a bit but honestly, that might just be me wanting more of a good thing. Bottom line: If you're anywhere near Naugatuck and you're not eating here, you're doing breakfast wrong.

    Consistent and always a great breakfast sandwich! Staff is fast and they have always been on point…read morewith my order. The space is large with a ton of seating. Check their Facebook page before you drive a distance to make sure they haven't sold out and are open!
