Giv Coffee

We travel not only for the experience, sights etc but also for coffee. So this place was a must on our trip to CT. The place and their story is lovely. The staff knowledgeable and welcoming. We loved their pour over. We will be back!!

Good local coffee store in Canton. Their mocha coffee was great. Drip and cappuccino coffee were decent.

I enjoyed this coffee shop!
The coffee was great and the double shot of espresso was STRONG! I'll definitely be going back.

For what it is, five stars. Their Belgian Waffles could definitely be addictive - not your usual mixed-batter-poured-and-pressed into an electric waffle maker. These are so amazing in texture and taste they don't need anything on them. No syrup, no butter, no powdered sugar or chopped fruit. These would be found somewhere like Austria, where all baked goods are taken to the highest level. We brought two home, and the third opinion had equal praise and pleasant surprise. One is enough for a serving.

The coffee is also boutique and the beans are roasted right on the premises in a separate building behind the café. It's sold in a variety of ways like lattes and cappuccino as in most coffee stores. My latte was perfect. My partner thought his caffè mocha had more chocolate than coffee but still enjoyed the quality of the chocolate in his drink along with his waffle.

Bags of coffee beans can also be purchased with the Giv Coffee label, from espresso to decaf, dark roast to their version of a breakfast or house blend, plus a half dozen or so in between. We learned we were drinking the "Esperanza Caturra" being featured that day and bought a bag.

Drinks other than coffee are on hand, as are logo t-shirts and local farm honey. There are pastries and an egg sandwich as food options. When I inquired about two lunch sandwiches I saw online in a menu photo, staff said they did used to have the turkey pesto panini pre-COVID, (and a grilled cheese), but they haven't brought them back yet. They should since they're open until 3PM, and customers might want something more lunch like in the afternoon.

I love the French music that streams through the café. Soothing and sophisticated. Giv Coffee started in 2011 roasting 80 pounds of coffee in a garage and donated their profits to an orphanage in Nicaragua. Now having grown into their own retail spot and bean roasting building, they still donate part of their proceeds to charity.

You don't have to be in Seattle for a custom cup of coffee made from on-site roasted beans, or in Europe for a quality waffle. Check out Giv Coffee in Canton, CT.

I was craving a Mexican latte and was told this place makes a good one so I checked it out. The coffee’s solid! They also have a decent food menu and the shop itself is clean and has a cozy vibe. The only critique I have is that it’s a bit expensive. After tax, a small latte came out to almost $6. Kind of a given when it comes to small independent coffee shops but still steep for such a small amount of coffee.

The wait can be long so plan accordingly but the quality is lovely.

I most recently tried a tea latte with the Assam and a little vanilla, an iced mocha, and the chai. Kita made the most amazing tea latte with velvetey milk, she also suggested the chai which hey make in house. Wonderfully spiced and not too sweet like most of the premade ones used in the area. Their cold brew packes a punch but is very tasty.

Great little shop.

GUYS. this is my new favorite coffee shop in new england. i live in boston but come to CT often to visit family. this is by far my favorite cappuccino i’ve found in the boston or hartford areas. the espresso flavor, amt of milk (6oz capp) and amt of caramel was PERFECT. not too milky or sweet. espresso had lovely complex flavor. the vibe is excellent too, mostly booths and 2 comfy chairs. they have (some) indoor seating available now, according to their capacity. the baristas are super friendly as well. will definitely be coming back soon!

Excellent coffee find in Canton. The cappuccino was expensive but incredibly good. The store layout is very cool as is the ambiance. The staff is friendly and very efficient. Plenty of parking in the rear of the building.

Amazing coffee, amazing atmosphere, amazing people. Lounge on a nice sunny weekend morning, take a sip, and enjoy a brew that defines quality coffee. Highly recommend a visit!

This is a small local shop that serves excellent coffee and some baked goods at reasonable prices. Atmosphere is simple, clean and cheerful. Outdoor seating available.
