I can't believe I haven't been to Cheshire coffee before! There were so many choices it was a little overwhelming - a good thing because I'll definitely be back! This coffee shop is super welcoming and friendly. I love that it's not pretentious and there are plenty of seats for you to hang out and enjoy your coffee. I got the staff suggested salted caramel pistachio cold brew and a spinach and feta croissant. Both were delicious and I'll need a larger size of coffee next time. Staff was so friendly and kind! read more

Cheshire Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Waterbury, Connecticut

Swung past to start an early day and overall had a good time. We ordered the following: Samoa latte: 8/10 nice concept and pretty good. A little too sweet for her liking but more so personal preference. Strawberry banana smoothie: 7/10 pretty good, no complaints. Spinach and feta croissant: 5/10 edible but very lack laster. Customer service wasn't bad. Drinks were made fast. They forgot to put my croissant in the oven so had to wait extra time. Plenty of seating. Decent decor. I like that the special/seasonals were by the front. Also that they had the workers favorite items. read more

I enjoy my visits to Cheshire Coffee on East Main St Waterbury. They offer limited seating for small gatherings. The ambience has good feel friendly place to gather with friends. They offer a good selection of coffees, teas, pastries and breakfast items. I enjoy the ham egg cheese croissant. They will warm it up for you upon request. I suggest you have them keep in toaster till it heats thoroughly. The staff always greets with friendly vibe. Easy to approach with questions on your order. They have a counter with creams, milk, and many other coffee spices for your enjoyment. Parking is plentiful in a plaza loaded with other good dining spots. read more

Friendly service. I got one of the employees drinks that was written on the menu that had cinnamon in it. VERY good. They had so many flavors for your drinks which is fun to be able to try different ones each time you come. read more

I had the mild Scandinavian coffee which was outstanding. The 2 employees that I interacted with were very personable...one of them brought the coffee to my table because she had to brew a fresh pot-that was nice. Met up with a friend and the seating area is nice to hang out and talk. Good variety of pastries. I had the apple crumb cake. Brought home a blueberry roll with cream cheese frosting for my husband and he loved it. read more

Everything we go there they have an Open sign in Bright colors on but they are closed One time we arrived at 5:45 and a person that looked lole his face was made up for Halloween told us he was closed and there was NO coffee. Overpriced coffee shop with just average coffee and an ignorant staff read more

Such a cute spot with lots of parking and in a nicer part of Waterbury! The service was quick and the staff was so sweet! My coffee and scone were delicious. The value is great too, $15 for a coffee and two pastries :) read more

Cheshire Coffee - Syrup flavors - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Waterbury, Connecticut

This is the Cheshire Coffee shop located in Waterbury, CT near BJs and Kohl's. They have a really nice assortment of coffees, lattes, frappes, teas, and more! I had the Harvest Autumn latte with almond milk. It had a nutty, cinnamon, cozy flavor. There is plenty of seating inside with lots of different options of seating to choose from such as chairs at a table or lounging in a sofa chair around a coffee table. The staff are friendly and helpful. This is a great stop when you need a little pick me up while out shopping or meeting up with a friend. The parking lot is usually pretty full and busy so be careful driving around and parking. read more

Cozy coffeeshop located in a plaza with plenty parking space. I enjoyed a toasted almond latte and a coffee cake. Sat down in a comfortable leather chair at a fireplace. Coffee is great and service is friendly. Great spot to relax, read a book or meet with a friend for some casual conversations. read more

Cheshire Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Waterbury, Connecticut

This was my favorite study spot in college, now I come here to read before my appointments in Waterbury. I love their specialty drinks, I usually pick a drink from their seasonal favorites when I'm here. They also have a really good chicken sandwich that I'll get if I'm here around lunch time. Staff is always so nice and quick. I feel comfortable hanging out here. The only issue was I noticed a lot of their seating has the pleather torn apart so badly you can't sit on it comfortably. The benefit of this place was their comfy chairs, so hopefully they get those replaced soon! read more

I enjoyed stopping by Cheshire Coffee's Waterbury location. They weren't busy so we were able to take our time looking over their menu. The friendly baristas were great answering our questions as we asked what was in a few coffee drinks before we decided. The coffee shop's space is very large with a lot of seating, that we stayed to enjoy our late-breakfast. Our hot lattes, Mudslide (a spring menu item) and Honey Bee (a staff favorite), were both delicious. Plus, we enjoyed their Spinach Feta and Ham, Egg & Cheese croissants. We will be stopping by again if we are in the area. read more

This is a must whenever I'm in the area :) everything I've ever gotten from this place was 10/10

I absolutely adore this tiny rustic coffee shop. The restaurant displays beautiful wood finishes along with a cozy fireplace. Over time, I ordered a variety of fruit smoothies and coffees. My favorite beverage hands down is Cheshire Coffee's dragonfruit smoothie. This drink features a unique taste that is a mix between sweet and tart. Service is on-point as I was able to put-in my order and quickly receive my beverages. The staff is very nice and welcoming. read more

I love this coffee shop! It's so conveniently located in Waterbury with an easy entrance right next to the highway. If you're traveling eastbound on 84 it actually makes the route easier because you skip some of that Waterbury traffic by getting off/on. It's in a plaza with plenty of parking. The staff are all very friendly! There is a lot of space inside to sit with cozy chairs and tables. They have an extensive coffee flavor and tea list. And rotating flavors for the different seasons/holidays. I ordered an egg nog latte (made with real egg nog!) and a spinach and feta croissant. It was so delicious!! What I loved about the latte was that it was not overpoweringly sweet. They also have wraps, pastries, fruit smoothies....AND bubble tea with tapioca balls!!! I'm so excited and need to come back now to try their bubble teas! read more

Cheshire Coffee - Spinach and feta croissant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Waterbury, Connecticut

The coffee is good, as well as a majority of the staff- except for one. Mia is consistently nasty and condescending every time I come in. Simple questions or even just ordering is met with an attitude or a terrible tone. I never know what I am going to get with Mia - half the time drinks or requests that I come in regularly for can suddenly not be fulfilled only when ordering with her, everyone else has no problem. She makes it uncomfortable and unenjoyable to come in. read more

Like this little place with seating inside and outside. Lots of hot and cold drinks, protein shakes available.

Must go to coffee shop! Tucked away in a small plaza is this gem you won't regret visiting. One of the most appealing aspects is the many flavors of their seasonal menu! There were so many delicious flavors, it was hard to chose from. But of course, I had to go with the s'mores latte. Wish I lived closer or else I would definitely become a regular here! read more

I could go on and on about how I have become a regular at this place every workday morning. I could tell you how it's some of the best coffee I ever tasted. I could say how the service is fantastic and consistent and very quick to get you on your way in a hurry. I could tell you how Starbucks literally built a new shop next door to my work but I've never been in there because I drive nearly 2 miles down the street to visit this place instead. If I told you all these things it would be my honest review. Oh wait I kinda just said all that didn't I? GO HERE. You will be very happy you did. Oh and 1 more thing, the muffins are incredible! read more

This place fits perfectly into the "Places I've Discovered Whilst Trying to Avoid Traffic on I-84" list. And in this case, I was glad I did! I'd heard great things about the original location from some relatives in Cheshire, so when we initially passed by it went right on the to-do list. The place is located in small strip mall and is right on the main road which is nice. Inside is clean and cozy and pretty chill overall. All the coffee selections I've tried were top notch and the sandwiches in the cooler are surprisingly really amazing. I'm not a tea guy, but my son is into all the exotic stuff and has tried a few varieties from their tea shelf. Nothing but rave reviews there. Service and quality are so good that this has become a pretty much regular stop for us. And let's be honest here, anything that keeps me from having to walk into a Starbucks is going to be an automatic win! read more

Cheshire Coffee - Shamrock chai! It's like a shamrock shake, just much less shitty. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Waterbury, Connecticut

Dear Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks, I will procure my iced coffee elsewhere. Love, Heather - The caffeine fiend. If you're at all familiar with the Cheshire location, they offer the same products. Same awesome coffee and same BANGIN breakfast sandwiches. Now that I'm back up in Harwinton, I'm glad that I don't have to give up my Cheshire Coffee habit on the way to work. I think I've tried every one of the breakfast sandwiches they have - and they're all great. My favorite is the egg, gouda, and applewood bacon. They press it on a panini press (well, they do that with all of them) and they're SO delicious. They have lunch type sandwiches too, which I haven't tried - mostly because I'm never around at lunch hour, and they're just BARELY out of the radius for me to get there, get a sandwich, and back to work in the allotted time on my break. I also haven't gotten anything fancier than an iced coffee with syrup either - but one of these days I'll have a latte or something. I highly recommend the banana nut bread syrup. SO GOOD. Supposedly a drive through is in the works. That makes me excited. read more

Drove by here everyday to go to work. Finally decided to stop in to check it out. Its in the plaza next to Kohls/Costco. I'm not a coffee drinker so I cant share my opinion on that but they do a great job with the breakfast pastries. They were delicious! I got myself a Apple Crumb Cake and Peanut Butter Granola Cup. The service was great. The people at the counter were saying hi to their regulars and she asked what I'd like and if I wanted it heated up. Ambience is calm and relaxing. Very cool set up. Prices are good. Support small business ;) read more

A pleasant little place. Clean & cute with plenty of yummy coffees & pastries with a cool atmosphere.

I popped in here to grab a quick (decaf) espresso and when the crema looks as good as it did I couldn't wait to take a sip! DELISH! Friendly barista and clean, cute decor that looks like someone's home - if I lived near here I'd be back for sure! It's just around the corner from Costco too so I'm hoping they get great business from their location alone. Come support Cheshire Coffee! read more

Cheshire Coffee - Possibly the best crema I've seen on espresso EVER - and the flavor is awesome! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Waterbury, Connecticut

Good coffee. A tad expensive but I appreciate the quick helpful service and seasonal menu. If I lived closer I would return.

It's a cute place! The drinks and tasty and the shop is clean and cozy. The baristas were helpful and efficient. Yum!

Actually came here by accident a few weeks ago! My friend and I were meeting for coffee and I didn't realize there were two locations. She was in Waterbury and I was in Cheshire so I drove a little further to meet her. This location has a big parking lot so parking was easy. Plenty of different seating areas inside. I got a medium iced green tea (15 degrees out and I get an iced drink...what a weirdo) but it was exactly what I wanted. My friend had gotten a coffee and a sandwich which she said she enjoyed. Overall I had a perfectly fine experience here but I don't live close so I probably won't be back in the near future. Definitely a fine spot to stop in for a coffee or tea and hang with a friend or work on homework. read more

Lovely spot, lovely food, but...do they hire any workers of color? I've been going to this café for several years, and as an African-American woman, I sometimes feel a bit out of place as the only black person in the store. My sister applied to work there a few years ago and never got a call-back. I expressed my interest in working in the Cheshire, CT branch, and was discouraged out of doing so. There has to have been other POC that applied to work there, and I know it's a family-run coffee shop, but is there a reason there haven't been a change in the employee demographics? read more

I've been going here since they opened years ago and I've honestly never had anything bad to say. Except I always end up spending more money than planned when I walk in. If you're looking for a fall feel, order any other their Hot Chai Tea Lattes. So rich, creamy, sweet and you can add any flavor. One my my favorites is the Lavender Chai Tea Latte or Lavender Coconut. The have a large assortment of teas, including bubble teas. Lattes, coffee, hot chocolate, you name it they have it. And the baked good, sandwiches and chocolates are just as delectable. Now I need to go get a latte! read more

I met up with a colleague here to have a coffee and talk some business. This is a nice location. Very open and airy with a great selection of coffee and items to eat. I'm not a huge coffee connoisseur, so I can't go into a ton of detail on the coffee. Suffice to say, it was good. I had a spiced pumpkin pastry type item. It was really good! The staff was very friendly. We sat here for quite awhile and no one seemed to mind. Even as we left, the staff was pleasant and wished us a good day. Nice place to stop and have a coffee and get some work done if needed. read more

Great atmosphere, great coffee, free wifi. So great to have a place like this in the area, whether you want a real latte or a cozy place to catch up on work. Not quite the same coffee quality as some of the French press or pour over places in other parts of ct, but great for Waterbury Update: I finally tried a breakfast sandwich here. I know they're not made in - house (they're kept cold in the cooler, I presume after being thawed, and are heated up when you order) so I didn't expect it to be amazing. And it as expected- ok. Not bad, nothing special. I did like how the English muffin had crisped up on the bottom and had a buttery taste to it. The sausage was tasty, although a bit greasy. The egg party was a bit strange. A big square block, with a consistency similar to tofu. It was "bouncy". The egg itself was my least favorite part. My latte was good as always :) read more

"Smooth Latte" My wife and I needed a boost of caffeine after shopping at Kohls. I remembered seeing Cheshire Coffee while driving by the plaza a few times. Neither of us care for Starbucks and D&D is hit or miss with their coffee. I was happy to see the comfortable atmosphere of Cheshire Coffee. The two people working there were very nice. I don't drink much coffee and they were helpful in advising me on the menu choices. I ended up getting a tall Cafe Mocha Latte with a chocolate biscotti. Smooth delicious coffee. My wife had a cappuccino and a chocolate coconut dessert of some sort. I forgot the name of it. She enjoyed her's as well. We were set back by the price of $15 for our order. But I'm told Starbucks is even steeper than that. As I had mentioned, I'm not a big coffee drinker but If I'm ever in the mood for a cup, Cheshire Coffee will be my first choice. read more

Best Coffee ever had! Every time! So many options. Luv the self serve toppings bar (eg raw sugar, nutmeg, etc). And, don't skip the treats! Home made granola bars; cranberry biscotti; and, blueberry coffee cake--Yummo! Big enough to share or save for the next day! Enjoy, you'll thank me lol read more

This can easily become my go-to coffee spot. Despite it being my first time, the staff was very patient with me in terms of waiting for me to order and answered my questions about the menu. There's plenty of parking as well as seating inside the cafe. Also, there's more than just baked goods to eat if you're hungry. read more

I love Cheshire Coffee... it's a great local coffee shop. They have a lot of drink options, including seasonal specials and some bakery food options as well. They're the perfect spot to get a little work done on your laptop when you want to get out of the house too. The employees are usually pretty friendly. I would recommend! read more

Good coffee but a bit expensive. If I lived closer I would come back again. I liked the seasonal menu.

This place was solidly Meh. On the upside, there's plenty of seating near outlets for our work session, and friendly staff. The food options are decent; I got a bagel and yogurt, my husband got a panini. Drinks are SUPER sweet - they have a lot of interesting choices for flavored lattes but be prepared for them to be 100% sugar. Neither of us could finish our drinks because of it (me a pumpkin chai and the husband a Mayan mocha). If sweet is your thing, you'll be happy here. If it's not, stay away from anything "fancy" and stick to the straight + narrow... read more

I like local coffee shops in general. The food and drinks are good here. Great place to study. But damn the staff is just not it. I've come here probably 6 or 7 times and the staff is never nice. They always look angry when you walk in the door as if they don't want to serve you. Definitely doesn't make me feel comfortable at all. They all seem like they hate their job. read more

Same quality as starbucks (which depending on the person is either good or bad...to me fair...), but with more flavor selections and a nicer, local feel to the cafe. There's always people chatting with friends, or reading on a comfy chair, or typing away on their laptops. Nice steady flow of customers, but there's not long lines or full seating. Baristas are super friendly and helpful. A few of their sandwiches are really good, especially warmed in their panini press, but the breakfast sandwiches are gross. They sound good, but the egg is like a thick block of egg white...get the oatmeal instead. read more
