This was the first coffee shop I tried after moving to New Haven. It exceeded expectations! The coffee is excellent, and the atmosphere of the cafe is magical and absolutely gorgeous! This will be my work spot going forward. I recommend the snickerdoodle latte!

Coolest coffee shop I've been to in a while. Amazing atmosphere. And they weigh the shots, so you know it's good coffee.

Visiting from Seattle for my sister’s graduation this week, this is the best coffee I’ve found in New Haven. It’s perfect iced coffee weather and I’ll be popping in here as often as I can get away with in between the festivities!

Such an amazing and chill place. A favorite of mine in New Haven. Baristas are very nice and there are many quiet spots to get work done.

Best iced coffee I've ever had. The bacon, egg and cheese is delicious and made me happy to be up.

A wonderful atmosphere, including a collection of memorabilia (wooden squash rackets, etc) from a sports financier; comfortable sofas and arm chairs. The coffee is fine, and there are a few pastries.

Good coffee and service. Open early which is not common in the area. Plenty of seating options. Cute details and decor.

What a beautiful, wonderful place to do some work or chat with a friend. Not ever overly crowded & such kind people work here. If you enjoy working from a couch or a chair, you'll find your seating preference here.

Located a few steps behind the Graduate Hotel’s check in counter, the coffee is decent enough, but the design is the real draw. Comfortable couches, adorable Victorian-inspired paintings, and enough seating to be distant. Perfect place to read, have a conversation, and do some work.

We got really awesome service from the people working the morning we came. They trusted our word that we had a voucher for our drinks and served us. The seating area was super cozy and empty at that time of day. Super nice!

Such an incredible place, made even better by the friendly and caring staff! Johnny is always a pleasure to speak to, and seems to put a lot of care into each cup. The space is inspiring, and has plenty of large tables perfect for studying and working at. It is my go to spot in New Haven!

This is my new favorite spot in New Haven - every time I need a place to work or read, I head here, get a cup of drip coffee from the always-friendly staff, and then I get to settle back in the midst of absolutely beautiful surroundings.
