The area is a bit hipster ( I remember when it wasn't), and there are Mac books as far as the eye can see, but this place's Starbucks quality coffee and flavorful, quality pastries is the reason to come here. read more

Today I stopped to get a coffee and it tasted stale and burnt. For the exorbitant price and tip, you would think you could get fresh brewed coffee. Never again! read more

I grew up in CT and around the corner from my house was a CT Muffin. I went there almost everyday for 5 years. I am happy to report that this location's offerings are identical to the CT CT Muffins. My absolutely favorite muffin on the planet is CT Muffin's BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP. Their muffins are incredibly moist and always live up to expectation. I'm partial to cappuccinos and they make a great one. I love their espresso. I also loved the welcoming atmosphere and incredible menu. I'll be back!! read more

Connecticut Muffin - Lemon poppy cake, Orange Juice, Egg Sandwich with Cheese and Turkey Bacon - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This was my first time really eating in the area. I pass by here all the time. I was actually on the way home and it was kinda cold and I was kinda hungry with no food in the house. I decided I better eat before I get home. There are some benches outside but they might as well move those inside because that "outside seating" weather is gone! The lady at the desk was friendly and I ended up getting Vanilla Chai with a shot of Esssspresssooo-good. It was delicious. Ya know not everyone can crank out a good Chai drink. I don't know which base they use here but it was good. Not too spicy, which I don't like. It wasn't overly sweet either. I got the "vanilla" but I really didn't discern a "vanilla" taste per se. Then why stop there? I decided to get a toasted raisin bagel with "butta". They do have a small seating area in the back and most of the seats were taken except for 2. I helped myself to one and slowly enjoyed my meal as I read my book. Other seats that were occupado had folks with laptops on it, so i assume there is free wifi. It's relatively quiet. However the seats aren't comfortable to the point where I would park myself here for hours. read more

Favorite Muffins in the area! Believe it or not, finding banana chocolate chip muffins is hard!

Great neighborhood breakfast spot (or coffee). Great selection on muffins and bakery pastries, but if you come too late, may not have what you are looking for. They have turkey bacon as an option and their eggs and cheese sandwich are delicious. Must try the spiced ice chai tea.... very satisfying and delicious read more

Very nice cozy cafe. The latte is very good and I recommend to try the egg and veggie wrap. Their bakery items are all made at the cafe and are delicious, especially the lemon blueberry scone. read more

So lucky I found this place when I made a wrong turn , now turned right!! The croissants were right out the oven at 7 am my latte was great and the staff was very sweet. It's not my first time at one of these, but I wanted to show some love to this location because it's my new daily stop. read more

Whenever i am in this neighborhood and get chance i love to have a breakfast here with their good coffees and bakery as well fresh food nice and friendly atmosphere i would recommend them. read more

Really good coffee, yummy breakfast sandwiches and loaf cakes are to be had here. Super fresh and made to order as you like!

Did I come on a bad day? Maybe. But even if I did, there is no excuse to selling their cinnamon sticks that felt like carton and tasted like one. Just not fresh and I mean seriously not fresh. Haven't been here for a long time. And came especially here to get their cappuccino and cinnamon sticks. So the sticks were not fresh, and the cappuccino was very watery. You just taste something is missing. Sitting area is very nice. Saw many people working at the back. I'm guessing they also wished coffee would be better. read more

I love Connecticut muffin! My go-to-spot for lattes and blueberry muffins . Very friendly customer service. Very fast service. The barista will alway ask what type of milk you would like just in case your lactose intolerant, you can substitute into non-dairy options. I love their spice chai latte! It's just do delicious! read more

$5 for a slice of cake that taste like cardboard - very stale. This place/location remains a disappointment. I will not return and will not recommend. I'm giving them 1 star because that's the minimum to write a review and the cashier was very pleasant. But the cake was the worst I've ever tasted anywhere. read more

Connecticut Muffin - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I used to live in the area and on occasion still work in the area. This has been my local go to for coffee for years. Quick and friendly staff that always make the line move fast. Besides coffee, they have some decent food and sandwich options. I love their egg and cheese sandwiches and bagels. As an added bonus, there is a bakery in the back so it always smells great in there. So stop by and have a cup of coffee and bite to eat. read more

I love this place. Friendly employees (I admit I'm particularly partial to the sweet and beautiful Eastern European barista who works here), and it's a great "office" for me for remote work in these Covid times. My only complaint is the bagels -- at least the whole wheat ones I prefer -- are not so great. Tastes store-bought, and don't seem to be boiled, which wouldn't qualify it as a bagel. (The other flavors have that tell-tale sheen indicative of proper bagel making.). I'm a bit of a bagel purist. Everything else on the menu is tasty. read more

We went on a Saturday afternoon, it's a friendly spacious place, delicious coffee and muffins. There's plenty of seats , clean and quiet. Also nice pictures on the wall which complements the cozy atmosphere. We spent half an hour there very relaxing like in a museum. read more

This place has good coffee and good snacks. A little on the pricey side, but I consider it a treat. I go there once or twice a week. So far I've gotten coffee there about 15 times. The last few weeks the cups have been leaking. The last few times I thought it was bad lids but this time the coffee cup is actually leaking. read more

I Love This Place. I Get To Have It My Way Like I'm At Burger King. Great Staff Too. Clean Place. Great Prices. Consistency. I Love It.

Connecticut Muffin is my go-to coffee joint in the neighborhood. They have pastries, muffins, cake, bagels, paninis, etc. I am a big fan of their chocolate cupcake. As for coffee, I usually just get a regular coffee. It's not the best coffee but it does the job. I would recommend getting the coffee with steamed milk. It makes a difference. read more

I stopped here to pick up coffee during my work day. The large iced coffee was a pretty big size and they added just a little skim milk, as I had asked! I also picked up a cinnamon twist and lemon poppyseed muffin (I only tried the muffin and it was pretty good). There was a large selection of sweets available. I noticed that there was an iPad screen by the register promoting some rewards program (Belly, I think it was called?). I tried to sign up on the spot with my email, as it said you can redeem 50 points towards a free muffin or coffee. I never received the email confirmation and was unable to proceed with that. Something to keep in mind when you're going in to order. I will try it again during my next visit. read more

Ehhh ever since they got new staff its been going down hill. One time I ordered a latte and it was all milk no coffee at all. Few times I came in and they didnt know the difference of muffins. Even when the muffin you want is there they will tel you it isnt. Overall isnt what it used to be. read more

Change your staff they always very rude specially the tall black guy last girls were doing good and great. If i asked him ti add anything in coffee or something they started staring at you and give you lecture and make you realise that you don't know about coffee read more

I've visited this restaurant many times - all CT Muffin locations are operated by individual franchise owners and this is the location nearest my home. Last week I decided to take a short walk and get some coffee to break up my day a bit, since I've been working from home for months. I've always felt safe in this restaurant during COVID, since they've seemed to be following precautions and there are multiple signs stating that masks are required. When I was waiting in line, I noticed there were two people sitting at the small counter in front of the window, which is just about 3 feet from the door and the payment area. The two people looked like they had been eating but were now just drinking iced coffees and chatting, and neither of them were wearing masks. While I was still waiting in a line of 3-4 people, one of them walked past me so closely on her way to the bathroom that I needed to step aside. She was wearing her mask around her wrist. I asked her to please put her mask on, she ignored me. She walked by me a second time to return to the front of the store; I asked her again and she ignored me. I raised my voice (not proud of it) and asked her again, and by that point tensions flared and we started yelling at one another. None of the staff said anything at all, they basically ignored the entire situation. There didn't appear to be a manager there and I completely understand why the staff would be tired of dealing with people refusing to wear masks. It should be management's job to handle situations like this. I left, very upset, and later attempted to contact the franchise owner by phone, to no avail. I also reached out via social media but never received a reply. I'm leaving this review only after having made attempts to speak with the owner directly. Here in NYC, we've lost many precious loved ones, colleagues, and neighbors to COVID-19, and we're beginning to see increased transmission rates in and around the specific area this franchise is located. Our restaurant reopening regulations have been limited to outdoor eating, delivery, and pick-ups only until at least Sept 30th 2020. Not only were these people eating indoors, they were seated in a place that made social distancing impossible because they were arms length from the front entrance/exit and the payment area. It was frustrating as a customer and also incredibly sad and frightening to see other people unwilling to do such a simple thing to protect others, even when the mask is readily accessible and they're not eating or doing anything that might prevent them from doing so. It's disgraceful that Connecticut Muffin would allow this to happen when they specifically post signs requiring the wearing of masks and they are breaking the law by allowing incidents like this to occur. I'll never return to this restaurant; plenty of other places in the neighborhood actually respect their customers and do their best to protect the safety of their customers and staff. read more

We have been to this Connecticut Muffin several times over the years (usually in the winter) and know that we can always be assured of coffee that is not bitter and baked goods that are fresh and tasty. The inside of the restaurant is quite comfortable with great wooden tables and nice decorations. I don't know if this happens regularly, but last Sunday it was very warm inside the restautant (perhaps the air conditioning was broken?). Luckily we found a place on one of the benches in front of the store where we enjoyed our bagels and coffee (though if management reads this, one of the benches was more like a seesaw as it was placed on an uneven bulkhead door and no blocks were put under the bench to compensate). Service is quite friendly but a bit slow. But otherwise it is a great place to chill on a Sunday morning...or any other morning you have time to visit! read more

So I may have found a new coffee shop, as I'm always on Cortelyou. Connecticut Muffin is the perfect venue in the bustle of all the new Cortelyou additions. Even though they are a chain store I still feel like they are better quality than Dunkin or Starbucks. I order an iced/hot coffee daily. The coffee is perfectly bold, strong and rather tasty. It is also priced very reasonable. I've ordered sandwiches a couple of times and I feel like their rolls/spreads/veggies are definitely better quality. The tuna sandwich is great and so is the egg sandwich. I haven't tasted their muffins so I can not write about those, but they look fresh. I also like that this location has space and tables so if you want to grab a coffee and work on your laptop or read a book you can do it in peace over here. I will say that although customer service is usually great, with employees being friendly and fast there is one that I try to avoid. I feel like a shot of espresso prior to their shift may change the attitude. Overall, if you want high quality coffee for a good price in this neighborhood, this is the place to go. read more

Friendly customer service. I really like that the barista remembers my order. They occasionally take their time with your order BUT I've never had a mistake with my order so I don't mind trading a few moments for accuracy. I really like blueberry bagels and either they rarely order them or they sell out quickly because rarely ever have any. It's pretty disappointing considering I do not patron the other bagel shop down the street. read more

They are not Starbucks, which is great, they are not Starbucks, which is bad! Free Wi-Fi, which I think that in today's economic is a must. A coffee which is good enough to turn a morning into a bearable one. They do their job, and they have good food. The place is clean, and the people here ALWAYS SMILE. And this is something rare, since many times in coffee places people make you feel that the last thing they want to do right now is to make coffee for you. Just be careful, very often the coffee just come out too sweet. Take less than you think you are going to need. Love coffee places where the staff smile ;) read more

I can only speak for this location. The coffee is horrible and overpriced. I just got an iced coffee this morning; thinking it would be nice and fresh. It was definitely there from last night. It had coffee grains on the bottom and just made me sick to my stomach. A small cup of gross coffee is 3 bucks. I would stay away from their coffee. The one star goes to their egg and cheese on a croissant. It's really yummy and I would only go there for that. read more

have not been there for a while. What happened to this place? So bad, I cannot believe it, the service is atrocious, a woman working there looks at you like what are doing here.

One of my favorite local coffee shops. All the items are freshly baked and the aroma from the kitchen in the back is heavenly. The prices are extremely reasonable and the customer service is top notch. I had an egg sandwich on whole wheat with avocado and tomato. It was delicious. read more

I like the decor and the vibe. The staff was very nice. I had an iced cappuccino with a quad shot. It was pretty good. Good presentation and the taste was decent. It was a little bitter but still refreshing. While a quad shot could tend to pull it to the more bitter side a great iced Capp would still have the balance. Once I added sweetener it was perfect. For me a 5 star Capp does not need a sweetener to it the spot. Overall solid iced drink and I will continue to come here. read more

The service is fast too! read more

Ahh yes the infamous Connecticut Muffin. This is a nice little neighborhood cafe. I am still trying to break out of my typical bodega run for breakfast sandwiches (it's hard though, I'm a New Yorker what can I say?) so I came here for a sandwich with tea. The menu is pretty standard for cafes; I got eggs and tomatoes on a baguette for $4 and a yummy cup of African Autumn tea. I had no idea what it was so the cashier let me smell it so I can figure out what to put in my tea lol. This spot has such unique flavors read more
