    Saigonese Coffee
    Jason P.

    I learned about the recent opening of this cafe from a Yelp search. Brew Lab seems to be a Vietnamese / Asian fusion sort of coffee house and cafe. According to their menu on the wall, they will serve Banh Mi, Mochi Donuts and Croffles. All things I'm interested in. Drink-wise, they'll have Vietnamese style coffees, lattes, Refreshers, fruit teas, etc. The people are friendly and the space is cute. Brew Lab seems to be in their Soft Opening stage. So I'm going to overlook some things. Like their Yelp page says they're open at 7 am. But their doors were locked when I arrived at 7:30. That's when I learned from a Google search result that they're open at 8. In any event, while I was trying to figure out what to do in my car, they apparently saw me and unlocked the door. I asked about the time discrepancy, and a guy who seemed to be an owner suggested that they are open at 7, but I wasn't entirely clear on whether that's true. Also, I tried to order a mochi donut, but they did not have any fresh made ones and the ones they had were experimental from the day before and they understandably did not offer them to me. So it seems like you may need to wait for their full menu. I'm unlikely to return for coffee. I'm strictly a black iced coffee drinker. It does not seem like they're going to offer either black cold brew or iced coffee. The man helping me suggested an Iced Saigonese Coffee. I was not familiar with that. From a bit of research, it appears Saigonese coffee is made from Robusta (rather than Arabica) and sweetened with condensed milk. I can't speak to whether this was an authentic Saigonese Coffee, but it was too sweet and light for me to enjoy. Although I wasn't a fan of the coffee, I'm going to give them 3.5 Stars for now and I'll update my review after trying their food.

    Mocha Latte - Rose Fruit Tea w/ Lychee jelly

    Nice Staff, Clean Interior, syrup is not house made and they used crushed ice which melts fast. Expresso is decent, mocha has little to no sweetness and Oat milk is not full fat. Don't know if we'd come for coffee drinks since there are better options for that near by. The kids enjoyed their fruit Slushies. I loved my Rose Fruit Iced Tea with Lychee jelly. I will definitely come back if looking to get one of those again. And the Slushie are a nice treat for the kids

    Brew Lab is this cute little cafe in Rocky Hill serving delicious bites and coffee. Their menu comprises of mochi donuts and croffles among other things. They are occupying what previously was Dunkin on Silas Dean Highway. I do love the refurbishment of the decor and comfy seating. They cleanup well after a customer has left too, wiping down tables and chairs. Don't mistake that one should still clean up after themselves and throw away their trash. The beverages are most delicious and was worth the trip. I tried their chicken and fries, and that may need some work or.. a different type of sauce. All I'll say is that the chicken is tough and has no flavor on its own. It's definitely crispy though and same goes for the fries. The Strawberry and Cream croffle was delectable. It is a cross between a croissant and a waffle so it didn't have the softness and airiness of a waffle. It sure tasted like a croissant and compressed. The plastic fork and knife I had almost couldn't withstand the effort. It was an overall good visit and looking forward to their grand opening. I'm hoping to try a few other things on my return.

    This new café is the cutest featuring yummy drinks and delicious desserts. Adorable interior, friendly service, and a great ambience. A great spot to catch up with friends. The Ube latte with a shot of espresso and oat milk was divine. Their croissant-waffles "croffles" are yummy and fun!

I popped in because the parking lot was mostly empty. It wasn't particularly busy in the cafe either. There were two small groups ahead of me in line. I order my food and black iced coffee to go. I received my food. It even had to be heated. And I had to wait 10 minutes for them to give me my black iced coffee. Even though there are only two or three people waiting in the drink area. And that was after I said something. So who knows how long it would have taken. This isn't because of lack of effort. The baristas were doing things. They're making lots of drinks. But it's not clear for whom. They finish the drinks and they don't call people's names. Maybe they're for to go orders? I understand that restaurants need to make choices about how they run things. All I can say is, that it's not a good experience to get all of your food and you have to wait for a black iced coffee (a drink that takes very minimal effort) for 10 minutes. Even though you're one of only a few people in the drink area. I'm not going to change my review score. But these experiences definitely affect how often I visit.

I definitely will be back to buy some pasta and sauce! The marketplace is so charming and has a lot to offer. We grabbed a Vietnamese coffee, a slice of the Basque cheesecake, and the Yuzu pineapple lemonade. Typically the lemonade also comes with coconut, but since they were out I added guava instead. It was so refreshing and perfect for this amazing weather that we've been having. We saved the cheesecake and coffee for the next morning, but the coffee was just as great as when I tried it and the cheesecake was so rich!

I found it Inside an ordinary looking strip mall. The coffee choices are pretty impressive, and their website made me chuckle when I saw them ask viewers to "Drop the orange and pink branded cup ;-) - There is a better way to start your morning, power your day, and sip on a little sunshine". I passed on their lineup of Cappuccino, Lattes, Espressos, Americanos, Macchiato, Cold Brews, Vietnamese, Cuban, And Con Panna, because all I wanted was a regular coffee, I went with their Deep Roast version known as CAFÉ HABANA, an espresso bean blend from Guatemala, Brazil, and Nicaragua. It was excellent, a yummy dark roast coffee with plenty of taste to it. Now seriously, what is a morning coffee without an accompanying bakery treat. They had a tempting variety of empanadas, croissants, pastries, and it was a tough decision before I put my money down on a muffin-like asparagus cheese frittata. It was decadently great. While I was waiting for my order, I looked around and saw quite a bit of prepared food (all prepared from scratch in house) for take-out. They have a lunch menu and a great looking Italian themed catering menu with Manicotti, Hand Stuffed Shells, Beef Lasagna, Three Cheese Lasagna, Four Cheese Mac & Cheese, and Eggplant Torta. Your shopping and browsing experience will also include sightings of canned goods, assorted groceries and baked goods. For all of these reasons, I was very impressed with my stop at Ani's, and I bet you'll be too.

I was told it was a large coffee split into two. Never again will I purchase one of these duo cups. The coffee itself is very good, but the pricing should be altered a little bit. We also got mini macarrones, which I thought would be better than a tasted! They were stale!! They taste it absolutely horrible and there was no flavor. No differentiation between the chocolate, coffee, or the lemon. It all tasted by straight sugar and cardboard. Yuck Unfortunately, I probably won't be back due to the pricing and the experience I had with the food

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!

This place is so adorable on the inside, it is small and pretty intimate, but the decor is precious! There are so many toadstools (the oversized red mushrooms with polka dots) and rainbows everywhere. Tony's specialty's are all his mom's recipes. There was a delightful selection of an assortment of sweets. Of course you can get your coffees and teas too. Each month they change their drink specials. I got a slice of their Salted Caramel Pecan Blondie and a May Specialty Latte called Fay Valentine. The Blondie was rich with caramel on the outside but decadently sweet, yet crunchy. This is an indulgence for sure! The Fay Valentine is a Banana and Peanut Butter Latte, absolutely delicious! I kept slurping long after it was gone! Please go check out the restroom at Tony's, even if nature isn't calling you to go. I have never before encountered a more magical restroom. If I tell you there's Alice herself hanging upside down from the ceiling, maybe that's enough reason to go.
