Essex Coffee and Tea Company

My absolute fave coffee shop. PERIOD!

Very cute. Small seating area

This place is great! It has a very low key vibe with a rotation of nice art on the walls each month. Lots of locals frequent here and the coffee is good and the espresso nice and strong as I like it. They have a large selection of Rishi tea too. The yummy treats in the display all look so tempting. Chocolate dipped macaroons are the winner for me though! Great staff, they make the place warm and wonderful!

Great tasting coffee and tea. Their macaroons are fantastic and a must try! Customer service was great. The girls are very friendly and attentive.
Entrance can be very busy and crowded... not very organized in that aspect.

Today was my first time adventuring through Essex, CT. First off, I love the location of this coffee shop--a charming little town with friendly locals. The inside of the cafe is small yet comfortable and inviting; as though you're visiting a friend or reltiave's house. The staff are so kind and prompt with their service. I also love the selection of drinks and food available; from your standard (amazing) coffee/tea options to Avery's soda (including the "Totally Gross Soda" line) to the variety of fruit-based and chocolate desserts and pastries (some gluten-free options too!). It's the kind of atmosphere and town that makes you want to come back as a cozy Sunday (if not daily) tradition. I'd live in this town if I could! Just want to say thank you for the great food, coffee, and service. I will definitely be coming back and recommending this little gem to friends and family! :) :)

Such a cute little spot. They have plenty of choices for types of coffee and tea. To boot they have some sweets as well which is perfect to hit the spot after you have ate dinner in town and want to wall around to enjoy the beautiful scenery. I had the vanilla bean for tea and it was delish!

Coffee was delicious. Prices were great and the staff was friendly and attentive. Can't wait to visit again.

Great small place to have coffee. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

They have an amazing selection and great prices. I am not from this area by all means but when I am here in this lively town I come to this wonderful diamond in the rough

Nice little shop but I should dock them a star for no public bathrooms!
