There is a new monarch in Bristol, and his favorite primary color, is neither Red nor Blue. That's right! Yellow King (YK) opened adjacent to Bristol Bizarre. I've visited the Wallingford YK a few times. They're known in the CT Foodie World for cool coffee beverages and cocktails such as Espresso Martinis (and especially flights of them). I learned that YK had opened in Bristol from a co-worker from NW CT who was sipping from a Yellow King cup at work in Hartford. I visited a few days later. The Bristol YK is much smaller than the Wallingford location, but there is a bar which maybe could accommodate seating for 10 and some additional seating along the wall. You can also order a coffee and browse the crafts, etc. at Bristol Bizarre. I ordered one of the Seasonal Specials -- the Yippee Ki-Yay (was Die Hard a Christmas Movie?). It consisted of Jambi Cold Brew, gingerbread syrup, eggnog cold foam and cinnamon. Looks great. Tasted great. Not cheap enough to be my everyday coffee, but it's a nice splurge coffee. That's all I had, but I noticed Yellow King's offerings included Tribus Beer, Zupps Apizza, bagels and breakfast sandwiches. Getting a Yellow King seems like a Home Run for Bristol and the Bizarre.

Granted, it was within 10 days if Christmas when I visited. That said, the staff was completely overwhelmed. There were only 2 people on duty and our orders for hot cocoa flights took about a half hour to get. Our food was consumed long before the drinks came. The cafe itself is small with metal bar stools comprising the majority of the seating along a counter along the windows or a bar. The sausage and cheese croissant and hot cocoa flight I ordered were both tasty, but it was chaotic and loud and took way too long. They need to hire more staff. read more

I am a regular at Yellow King Brew's North Haven location so it was fun taking a trip to a new-to-me area and to check out their second location. If you are used to North Haven, you might be shocked how small this location is at first. The bar takes up most of the space, but they continued to keep their industrial vibes, brand and larger than life murals. They had a lot of staff working so the drinks were turning out quickly. I got one of their March seasonal drink, Mint'ro. It was made with their Jambi blend nitro with topped with mint white mocha cold foam. The color of it was so fun, both the coffee and cold foam were vibrant green! It tasted minty with a hint of vanilla and subtle coffee taste. This location seems to be in an old factory-like building in a neighborhood. There is a generous amount of parking. Yellow King Brew is next door to the Bristol Bizarre which the two are connected from the inside. Besides the Bristol Bizarre, a shop that curated local handmade items, art and gifts in one place, there isn't much else in the immediate area. It's great that Yellow King Brews has expanded and love to see where else they'll end up next. read more

So we go at least once a month and our regular server was not there this Saturday . My wife wanted a flight but we were told not enough glasses so she ordered something else I ordered a hot chocolate we were sitting at bar. She also asked for a pretzel they said there to busy to do food. My wife gets her drink I wait 20 min and still no hot chocolate come to find out it's been sitting at the to go counter and is now cold . This was some pretty bad service considering all the employees behind counter ! read more

This was a cool little place to get a drink and snack. The drinks are centered around coffee, which is great! However, the optional snacks do not mix well with them. It is nice to have something, but would rather something that pairs a little bit. The bartenders were very polite and quick to help. read more

Located in the same building as the Bristol bazaar. I'm not sure what was going on the day we came for breakfast but it was a bit chaotic. I think it was the first day they started the hot chocolate flights and they were very understaffed with just 2 employees on to help everyone for both pick up and sit down to dine orders. I could tell that it is a local fave for coffee spots based on the lines and how busy they were. That being said then I would have expected more staff. There is not much chair and table seating so if you have mobility issues or difficulty sitting in bar stool like chairs then this is not a place for you. There is only one table with chairs the rest are bar stool and counter type seating. We ordered breakfast sandwiches and the hot chocolate flights. By the time our flights came out our sandwiches at already been consumed. It took so long due to staffing that I almost contemplated saying just for get the order. Once we did get our drinks it was very good. Just wish we could have enjoyed the experience more. read more

This place is smaller than the Wallingford choice but it is attached to a little shop that has handmade crafts for sale made from local vendors and small businesses. The drinks are delicious and who doesn't love coffee? How can you go wrong with a coffee flight? read more

I've been meaning to check out yellow king! I went kind of early in the day to check out the bristol bizarre next door, so I just got a coffee. I got the eggnog latte and it was made perfectly! We sat at the bar and the service was great! Small space and not a lot of seating, but I was aware of this beforehand. I like that they also offer some snack foods. My friend got an espresso martini and said it was good. I will definitely be back! read more

First found yellow kings in Wallingford and I fell in love with their menus. So happy to see Bristol have a location so I can get all my seasonal favorites. They coffee blends are smooth without an over roast bitterness you get with some other shops. The menus change seasonally so if you can grab a coffee flight I highly recommend it. read more

It's beautiful inside. There are murals on the walls inside and outside. Someone can sit and simply admire all the art. At least, that's what I would do. Quick service and friendly staff couldn't have asked for anything else. Hot chocolate was enjoyed deeply by my daughter. It was a little wait for the flights. It was worth it though! read more

Tiny bar & coffee shop that is attached to the Bristol Baazar market A few small tables & counter seating I came here for coffee and was pleased with their wide variety of unique drink options, including a few different types of coffee flights (+ an espresso martini flight) Also have a very small selection of baked goods My GF and I both got lattes and we split a donut as well. The coffees were solid, but the donut was very stale read more

So exciting to see a second Yellow King location! This spot is definitely smaller than their original location in Wallingford, but still has a couple tables, long window seating, and a full-sized bar. We came by for Thursday Trivia and didn't expect it to be as small as it was, definitely odd for hosting trivia but we made it work! I really enjoyed my cookie monster cold brew which is one of their signatures. They had a few beers on tap, their famous espresso martinis, extensive bourbon list and some fun craft cocktails. We weren't drinking alcohol, but I will definitely be back to try their espresso martinis! They also do an espresso martini flight from 12PM-6PM for $35! Great to share with a friend! read more

Yellow King is one of the best coffee shops in CT. They offer an extremely creative menu of coffee / espresso martini options. We love that they change their specials with the seasons so you never get bored. For the holidays they have a cannoli coffee and a gingerbread cold brew topped with egg nog foam. It was absolutely delicious. We loved enjoying our delicious coffees while exploring the shops at the Bristol bazaar! read more

Yellow King is just the best of both worlds amongst coffee and cocktails! Unique and delicious seasonal specialty coffee drinks and espresso martinis I tried the Strawberry Shawty iced latte which was a white mocha with strawberry puree and it was divine Just the right amount of sweetness and the layering was crafty, giving it an attractive esthetic. The barista was knowledgeable and helpful. She made great suggestions and perfectly constructed beverages. The place was small so not much space to hang out in the shop but right outside it were plenty of cute and comfy seating areas. Great place to revisit frequently. read more

Stopped here to a coffee and it was made perfectly. I had a cold brew and my daughter had a coffee cake and that was so good too and moist. The place is small but it's nice to grab and go and just stay for a little not much space for a decent size group read more

Stopped here before their grand opening and had a few cocktails. The classic espresso martini is delicious and the other variations are also enjoyable but more like a dessert. The coffee is great and the employees were so nice! The space is small but intimate. It's great to have a new place in Bristol that isn't a sports bar. Hope it stays! read more

Very small facility, the service is slow I get it when you specialize in coffee and espresso martinis. The seasonal flight is phenomenal. My only issue is the seating it looks like they can have at max 30 people here. Felt cramped read more

2nd visit in 2 weeks and couldn't be happier with this place. I had a nice coffee date w/my friend Goia and we briefly walked around the bazaar before sitting down at Yellow Kings for a beverage. I ordered a cappuccino with cinnamon & brown sugar and it was absolutely delicious. Hannah our server/barista/bartender was super friendly and even helped me decide on what I wanted. Service is always above and beyond and I can't wait to go back again read more
