Such a cute place. The service was superb. I was a newbie and the woman was a tremendous help with the patience of a saint. My English muffin breakfast sandwich was better than I expected and so was my chocolate chip cookie coffee.

That's all folks! It's 10:47 on a Sunday morning and that's all the bagels they have.

This place is good for the only local bagel shop around but it's extremely unorganized. There is never a clear line to order food and not a big enough area to wait for pickup. The wait for food and coffee is always at least 15-20 minutes even if you call ahead. They have a large selection of coffee flavors on the wall but every time I've come they never have 3/4 of them and the hot flavors are not the same as what they have for cold flavors. The people who work here....some are nice, some are rude af, some are just weird. I just left here and after asking what two different flavors were like the guy had no idea...nothing to tell me about it. He said I'll just have to find out. My order has been wrong here plenty of times as well. I will ask specifically for a hot coffee and get a cold. I will ask for butter and get cream cheese. Simple things but easy things to just get right. I've also never been to bagel store that runs out of bagels but then I realized that they don't cook their bagels on site here. They get them shipped here from another location. I come here just because there is no other bagel store in town but they could do much better.

Today I visited Tony's Coffee for the first time. I ordered a sandwich with cream cheese, lettuce, tomate, cheese and ham. You can customize your own sandwich and coffee. It was good and the price was great. The service could be better because I didn't understand how it worked and the woman that assisted me was not really helping. I think if new people come, they should be nicer. There's a lot of free parking outside.

Came in here for a coffee and a donut. My boyfriend asked for his coffee black, and when we got in the car, it was made regular. I would've understood if it was the morning rush, but it was mid-afternoon and we were basically the only people in there. It's nice that they serve Ami's bagels, which are my personal favorite. I picked a chocolate frosted donut which wasn't bad, but it was average.

Wtf iced coffee

No cold brew. No iced coffee cups. Didn't listen to my order (asked for extra ice in iced coffee - pretty common order). Super weird vibe and sub-par quality for a coffee shop. A coffee snob's nightmare.

I can't believe I haven't been to Cheshire coffee before! There were so many choices it was a…read morelittle overwhelming - a good thing because I'll definitely be back! This coffee shop is super welcoming and friendly. I love that it's not pretentious and there are plenty of seats for you to hang out and enjoy your coffee. I got the staff suggested salted caramel pistachio cold brew and a spinach and feta croissant. Both were delicious and I'll need a larger size of coffee next time. Staff was so friendly and kind!

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.

I am a huge fan of New England Coffee. I have actually gotten to know the owner Jason a bit, and…read morehe's a great human. He's incredibly passionate about what he does, and it comes across in every aspect of New England Coffee. From the atmosphere and comfortable space, to the extremely friendly customer service from either himself, Gavin or any of the others (whose names I have yet to memorize), to the delicious drinks. They recently relocated their primary cafe to Factory Square in Southington, and I have been twice since the reopening. They are back as good, if not better, than ever. For me, the way to go is any of their house made syrups. They change seasonally and utilize fresh and mostly local ingredients. For example, their vanilla plum syrup is here as long as it is plum season and they can source local plums that meet their standards. That is what I had in my most recent latte, with their brown sugar cold foam on top. The flavor was mild, but definitely present and very tasty. The cold foams are always a highlight. Terrific consistency. A bit frothy while still have plenty of body, and the flavors always come through. I also really loved their take on a pumpkin spice latte. Super deep and developed pumpkin flavor. Just enough warm spices that aren't the slightest bit bitter. The same brown sugar cold foam. That was exceptional. Any berry syrups are always delicious. Both the peanut butter and toasted marshmallow cold foams over the summer were super yummy and standouts as well. I order a cold brew almost as often as a latte. I've only ever ordered an iced drink. I do normally order larger drinks, so my only wish is that they offered larger sizes than 16 oz, but that's just me personally, and not even a critique. Stellar business, and one you just want to root for. Easy to love. Amazing team. A must try.

"Nothing you could say could tear me away from my guy…read moreNothing you could do, 'cause I'm stuck like glue to my guy" (Mary Wells) We took a morning coffee break, and had a wonderful time chatting, relaxing, sipping our drinks, and enjoying the friendly, mellow, and very chill atmosphere at the Café by New England Coffee Guy. They have plenty of seating, some upholstered furniture and we saw a few Friday morning telecommuters working on their laptops and sipping their coffees. Our order was a Chai Latte and a Cold Brew - each was $5. The pours were very large, and I swear that my cold brew was the very best I've ever had. I love coffee, drinking it hot or cold, and what I had here is in my all-time Top Five Percent. It was that good. I had a sip of my wife's Chai Latte and thought it was excellent as well. What really impressed me were the flavors of both drinks- not overpowering, but strong enough to appreciate them. The Coffee Guy has it all - specialty coffees, matcha, chai, espresso drinks, and pastries and sweet treats to pair with your coffee cup. We couldn't resist grabbing a few on our way out, and we took home a box with a Spinach croissant, iced blueberry scone, and a cruffin (croissant/muffin hybrid). We loved our visit to the Coffee Guy, and I was so impressed by the total experience, I just subscribed to their newsletter. So the next time we're looking for a midday break or afternoon pick-me-up..... I know a guy!

M's is a small breakfast and lunch spot with seating for about 10 people, but takeout seemed to be the focus. The atmosphere was fine, but not a selling point. More functional than nice. The service, however, is a selling point. They were friendly and efficient and comfortably interacted with any regulars that come though. I was impressed by the hustle of the two person team. I ordered a Hazelnut Black Iced Coffee, which I believe was an Omar roast. Smooth and got the job done. I also ordered a bacon, egg and cheese on a sesame bacon bagel. It was tasty and very well executed. Lots of well cooked bacon. The egg was fried just right. The bagel was substantial and had good texture. The American cheese was well melted. Magpie's definitely seems like a good place to stop for a quick takeout breakfast or sandwich. I also saw the cook was working on a big pot of fresh soup, 4.5 Stars
