I got the honey lavender iced latte and it was good. I wish it was a little more flavorful and strong, but overall it was okay. They have a lot of other classic coffee shop drinks, food, and pastries. The barista that served me was friendly. Note: there is a small parking lot

#27 in my NEW ENGLAND & NY COFFEE SHOP SERIES…read more A cute, old school, bookstore cafe with lots of seating for studying. If you walk to the left with all the books, there is a hidden study area with 4 seats, outlets, and a view out the window! They have all your typical cafe drinks. Not the best in terms of drinks, but it is affordable and gets the job done. I would come here to study again just for the vibes alone. However, if you're coming for a coffee date or great coffee, perhaps skip. Street parking available

In late 2023, shortly before moving from New Haven to Los Angeles, my partner and I dropped off 8…read moreboxes -- roughly 100 books -- of philosophy, art books, and literary fiction, all in good condition. Exactly the categories this store says it wants. Staff had me leave my contact information with the boxes and said they'd follow up. They never did. Months later I called to check in and was told they'd pay $10 for what they kept. Not $10 a box. $10 total. I'd have taken it. It never arrived. In 2024 my partner emailed asking about the status, offering to send a list of titles or photos to help them locate the transaction. No reply. Nothing since. I don't know what happened to those books -- sold, donated, still sitting in the back. What I know is that a store whose entire model is buying books off the public took eight boxes from two people who were leaving town and then stopped answering. If you bring books here, get the offer in writing and get the name of the person who takes them.

Today, I ordered my regular drink and received less than a half-cup of chia. Previous visit I ordered Chia and it tasted like hot water, two other visits I received some else's orders.

This is a…read moretown with many great coffee options, and J René is arguably the best, depending on what you're into. It's more expensive than a Dunkin or Starbucks... of course. I can't believe some of the reviews. The coffee is roasted in house, the syrups are from scratch. If they could fit a cow in their (way too small) parking lot they'd probably have fresh milk and cream, too! Went in yesterday for a work meeting and the service was even better than usual. The vibe and atmosphere here is great for meetings, business or casual. My associate and I split a Siphon Pot to start. If you have the time, this is the very best way to enjoy your coffee. It really pulls the flavor out of the beans, on par with a pour over or aeropress, but it's also perfect for sharing. Afterwards, we both got Cortados, which were excellent, and I brought ice coffee back to the office for the man we left behind to run things. He sighed happily after sipping it, commenting that he could tell it was from J René. Why not 5 stars? The food is ok but I'm not a big fan of the pastries I've tried here. They're "fine". Normally my wife will get one and I'll try a bite or two. She's really into croissants and won't get them from here, saying they're a waste of money. The prices can feel a little steep here, especially compared to other good, local spots. Lastly, the parking lot is so tiny and during busy times of day the road can get crowded as well.

MJ was super friendly and knowledgeable, and Bruce was personable and a delight- major kudos to both of these fantastic employees for making what could have been a stressful experience actually quite seamless and delightful! I was also pleasantly surprised that they do give you the opportunity to trade in your old electronics for a gift card or for cash. I was surprised since my laptop was literally almost a decade old, but you can bet I was at Claire's buying earrings five minutes later! I am super impressed by the top notch service and professionalism from their caring team. Highly recommend.
