Stumbled upon this place after brunch. Nice large spot for your coffee and muffins. The coffee is standard but the standout are the muffins. Delicious and filling. Love the morning glory muffin that is filled with wonderful ingredients. Carrots, coconut, and nuts. Also the cranberry yogurt muffins were good as well. Soft and moist inside with a nice crunchy muffin top. Nice service and a refreshing coffee. Plenty of space to sit down to hang out and use the wifi while sipping coffee and nibbling on your muffin. read more

Great way and great place to start the morning. And if finding parking here wasnt so comlicated, they would definitly see a lot more of me. In general, i can say that this corner is reaslly developing in the last few years, and a connueticuet maffin was one of the places i was so happy to see. The people who wrok here are friendaly and smiling, and actually make you feel that they really enjoy their job. read more

So this place probably has some of the best red velvet around but the customer service is unpredictable at this particular location. I have walked in here when they were in the middle of cleaning with bleach and the smell was horrific. Why would anyone bleach and sell coffee at the same time? So I only go to this Cortelyou location when I absolutely have no choice. read more

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

They have a friendly staff, a good variety of flavors and pastries. The lines can get pretty bad though. It's deff not cheaper than a dunkin but it's better if you're willing to wait. read more

I came here for a snack break at work and it was amazing. The muffins are baked fresh and the house blend coffee was great too. The muffin isn't too heavy or sugary. There were a lot of people sitting, chatting, and doing work so it seemed like a great place to hang out. read more

So confused why this has not be yelped about before, they have been since early 2007. I hope I am not adding an incorrect listing. However.... Coffee is good, standard overpriced prices... just as we like in our Cortelyou road gentrification, but Sandwiched are outrageous over priced at $8!. Skip that!. FREE Wifi, unlike the other coffee house on the block. Music at a minimum level which is nice, I actually get work done there. read more

Let me start off by saying that the staff is inefficient...no "Good Morning" or any type of customer service. They just look at you. But on to my story. I came in this morning for a iced caramel latte with skim milk. The barista was a short more on the heavier side girl who apparently hates to smile. She prepared me the latte which had little white things floating around which is when milk has expired. I point it out to her and she stated "that's how the milk looks" ummmm lol yes expired milk. She goes on to say she'll prepare me another one if I would like. Of course I would like another latte without milk that is not expired. SHE USES THE SAME MILK. I'm looking at her as if she had two heads. I open up the lid and of course it has the white things. I taste and I again told her the milk is expired. She starts walking around cleaning the counter and throwing out the lattes. She takes the milk out the fridge and states that it is not expired. So I stated that the latte tasted bad and it is because the milk is expired. At the end, I opted for a tea because I didn't want any of the other items that contained milk. She stated she couldn't refund me the difference but she could give me a cookie which I accepted. Of course she had to show me she was pissed off so she hurdled the bagged cookie on the counter and asked the next customer what they wanted. I told her she didn't have to throw it at me. This place could do better. The customer is always right. AND BY THE WAY, I WORKED FOR THIS COMPANY IN 2008. I knew I always had to make sure the customer left satisfied. Management really needs to take make sure their staff is efficient and has excellent customer service. I guess I'll have to reach out to my old boss ‍ read more

Ok if you don't have very specific food requirements. They have free wifi and it's pretty much empty/quiet so it's a good work space but none of the baked goods are gluten free. There's also a bench right outside of the store that is perfect for chilling on during warmer weather whether or not you buy something from inside the store. I have never had a bad experience with the customer service here as others have noted in their reviews (I guess because I haven't actually gotten anything but tea and their soups - and you can't really mess that up), but there are typically only one or two people behind the counter and they don't seem to be in a huge rush to move guests along expeditiously. Round up - clean store, always smells good and tempting (that can be a good or a bad thing depending on if you are trying to avoid sweets), priced affordably, free internet, good for using as a work space - never felt rushed to leave with my one cup of tea. read more

This place is... exactly as 3 stars say... a-ok. I don't have anything bad to say about it. In fact I don't honestly remember what I got here during the couple of times I stopped in. If anything I would say the food was... uneventful. It was good enough and the menu had some good choices I recall but for the life of me nothing stands out. I have to say though, all the other places around are far more expensive or really crappy. So I'll still come back here for some coffee and lunch when I'm in the area. Maybe next time I'll actually remember what I have so I could give them a proper review. read more

What is all this hype about...seriosly. the muffin were ok....but nothing to write home about in my opinion. The Bran muffin was like saw dust. The blueberry was ok, but a bit dry. My friend enjoyed her apple cinimon one and said it was pretty moist but it didnt knock her sock off. BONUS points for the free refill on my coffee, and a serlf serve coffee condiment bar. The brew coffee was ok, nothing special. Better than dunken donuts, and would be a good cup of coffee in the morning if you live in this area. but not like a cup of coffee to go out of your way for. I was expecting some amazing big lush moist muffin mecca and was surley disapponed in all aspect of Connecticut Muffin's Muffins. Cafe is clean, with table, free wi-fi and clean bathroom. service was good. read more

Great food and coffee, favorite breakfast spot. Affordable, tasty and freshly made baked goods and bagels and drinks. Relaxed and friendly local spot for all people. Consistently solid customer service! read more

Meh pretty much sums it up. Went here for a snack before seeing The Nutcracker at the B.A.M. Set up is nice, there is nice artwork on the walls that are available for purchase, and the walls are exposed brick which is visually pleasing. Good number of options for soups, pastries, and sandwiches. I had a small hot chocolate which was alright - nothing to write home about. He steamed the milk but it was added to instant hot cocoa - BOO. For a snack I had the Smoked Salmon w/ cream cheese and tomatoes on a plain bagels. It was very good - the perfect balance in regards to the amount of cream cheese versus salmon. Only complaint is that the tomatoes were semi-frozen so the coldness of them kinda ruined the texture. Service was decent. One of the guys behind the counter seemed really energetic, and when a woman came in speaking french he got really excited and had a fluent convo with her. However, the dude that was waiting on us was kinda unfriendly. He wasnt rude, but he didnt smile once and he seemed pissed when i ordered the hot chocolate since it meant he actually had to do something. They have tables and a few comfy chairs. Unfortunately they only have a few larger tables, all the other ones are for two people only so we were really cramped. read more

I ordered a coffee and then decided I also wanted a sandwich and the Indian/brown Girl (I am too not being racist) behind the counter decides that was too annoying for her and snaps back with an attitude and eyerolls as customer service - when I tell her she could lose the eye rolls she yells back at me. Like what a joke - sometimes you gotta work the shitty behind the counter customer service jobs and people will decide they want to add additional items- life sucks that's way - try to act a little adult about it. - I also found out from my friends who are regulars there she's known as the girl with the shitty attitude there- surprising she still has a job here. I wouldn't want to come back and see her. read more

The management of this place --- and consequently the staffing --- seems wildly inconsistent. Sometimes the employees are super-friendly; other times they can't seem to be bothered to pause their conversations or look up from their smartphones to serve you. Case in point: this week I was served stone-cold coffee with grounds in the bottom. What gives? On other occasions, I've had decent food and drink and excellent service. I won't give up yet, but I really wouldn't go out of my way to go to here. read more

I love this location, mainly because it is so big and spacious compared to other Connecticut Muffins. The chairs and tables are well taken care of, and there's enough outlets to go around for us laptop users. Their hazelnut coffee is OMG-to-die-for! I could still smell and taste that hazelnut. Their cookies are cutely delicious as well; I'm a sucker for them. My only complaint is that there's a seating spot a little to close to the bathroom. I never like it when establishments do that. Who wants a creepy old man staring at you while you enter the bathroom, especially if you're a young woman? Other than that, staff is lovely, coffee smells and tastes amazing, and their cookies and cakes are awesome. And lots of space! read more

I've been to a few Connecticut muffins in the past and I've never had an issue. recently while moving to this neighborhood I realized how long it took for my mom and neighbors to come back with simple orders such as a toasted bagel. The time to make the bagel is definitely not equivalent to the waiting time to order AT ALL. There were no clear directions as to where to order and when I asked one of the workers how do order she answered me in a very rude and dismissive way. I understand that we all have bad days, but I do think dismissing a customer and then completely ignoring them after the fact is unacceptable. just be aware that when you go there, there will probably be a customer-made system of ordering. all the other staff was very nice, and the bagel was okay y'all should stick to muffins tho. read more

This place is the worst. The first time I went there I was given the completely wrong breakfast sandwich and I was the only person ordering so I was actually just completely ignored and given an everything bagel with cheese instead of the bacon and egg on plain bagel I asked for. Another time I ordered a hot chocolate and was given something that was not hot chocolate. And a third time I ordered a hot chocolate which was made incorrectly and had burnt milk in it... Try enjoying that at your desk at 8am. I've learned to double check my order when ordering and when receiving but for the cost I shouldn't have to so for the most part I try to avoid this place especially on Monday mornings when I don't need a bad start to the week. read more

It'd be nice if they could get an order right or if we got our order together instead of in stages. How hard is it to make a bacon egg and cheese? Absolutely terrible. read more

I love the staff. I love the food. I love everything about Conn. Muff.!

Ain't that bad, but aint that great neither (Being a grammar snob, yes I know: double negatives. Couldn't help myself. Sue me). Love the seasonal Mayan spiced hot cocoa. Makes my taste buds have multiple orgasms. The red velvet cake/cupcakes? Not so much. Dense with practically flavorless frosting. I can bake a better one from the box (though usually it's from scratch) myself. However, the staff is friendly so that's a plus. Three stars. (Why did I just get a flashback of Star Search when I said that?) read more

I really enjoyed this spot. It's not too crowded and had a bit more room than other coffee shops on the street. The prices were low and the food was good read more

My favorite Connecticut Muffin. Great seating available, nice staff, good assortment of drinks, free wi-fi whats not to love!? read more

Expect a line, but know it's worth it! This spot was hopping every morning. The coffee is divine, the service is friendly.

Lots of baked goods other than muffins. Mmmmm bundt cake. Left with a low fat cranberry muffin with whole berries and a decent sized peanut butter cookie.Did not have the coffee. It was right next door to the awesome Farm cafe which did not offer dessert. read more

First of all! It always smells so good as soon as I walk in. Sometimes I like to walk in and walk out, just to get a little smell of the atmosphere. LOL! So I ordered a hot chocolate and a ginger cookie! Soooooo freaking good! The cookie was so "gingery" and sooo moist, just pure goodness. The hot chocolate was pure goodness as well. The first sip I took I Thought to myself "I must come here often" it was super rich and creamy. Just how I like it. Guys please try Connecticut Muffin for your "Quick fixes!" read more

I tried their hot chocolate there - it was AWESOMMEEE. But it's hot chocolate, you can't go wrong with that. Another cute cafe in brooklyn with an awesome selection of cafe drinks. Have yet to try the deserts but definitely will come back! read more

Connecticut Muffin - A chai with a salt shaker icon on the cup holder that's actually a muffin. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

the food and prices here are fine. I'd probably get a breakfast sandwich here a couple days a week, except service is SO SLOW. I've been three times, different times of day, and walked out in frustration twice. This morning at 7:45 (rush hour!) there were two people on staff, and two people in line. The poor lady behind me had to wait ten minutes just to order her coffee while the second staffmember vaccumed. Vaccumed!? Shouldn't that be done off-hours? This sort of service might be fine in CT, but won't fly here. They'd better add more staff if they want to compete with all the other options on Cortelyou. read more

I went here recently and grabbed a couple of bagels with cream cheese. I'm giving two stars simply because the service was decent, but when I got home I realized there was hardly any cream cheese. I'm not usually one to be picky about things like this, but take a look at this picture and tell me that's not ridiculous... I'm avoiding at all costs. The food is always just meh. read more

Connecticut Muffin - Hardly any cream cheese on this bagel. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Good coffee. But don't come without earphones if you want to do work. I was here at 9am and non stop crying babies and women chatting to each other from across the store. This isn't a relaxing coffee spot. read more

Lots of caffeine options available, and all sorts of pastries (including bagels, tarts, and of course, muffins). Unexpectedly large seating area in the back too. read more

This is my corner bakery. I can't comment on the food because I've never had it, but the coffee I've had was always fresh, dark, and very caffeinated. Also has great study vibes, but perhaps could use better lighting and seating? read more

Everything was fine and dandy until I saw a mouse in the back of the cafe doing flips. That's when I left everything (my coffee and muffin) and ran out! Anything but mice! That's a big no for me. Gross. read more

Awesome, Awesome Awesome!!! What a wonderful staff. I have been going to the Connecticut Muffin on Cortelyou for some time now, but today the staff reminded me just how wonderful they are. I stupidly forgot my wallet this morning but didn't realize it until I went to pay for my usual (onion bagel with cc and a coffee) I told the lovely worker to stop my order as I forgot my wallet. She waved it off and the supervisor said " no worries" with a smile. I have to tell you with such a sucky start to my day they made me smile. I love you Connecticut Muffin, you have officially gained a loyal costumer!!! read more

Great coffee, and 1 dollar refills check it out nice and cozy in the back, clean bathroom.

Note - I'm only writing about the Muffins. They are pretty darn good muffins, and the best part? They are half price after 5pm! $1 for a muffin is a pretty good deal! I score some anytime I'm in the neighborhood after 5. read more

My favorite location of Connecticut Muffin. Great atmosphere, food and beverages along with fantastic customer service makes me love to go there every morning! read more

I go here a lot. Ok so it is not trendy, that is fine. You can usually get a table and the people working there are genuinely friendly unlike Qathra, the fancier place next door. CT muffin has teens doing their homework, middle aged women knitting and some pretty delicious homemade pastries, especially the almond cake. I'm glad this place is in the neighborhood. read more

The service at this location is horrible! The "baristas" appear to be completely untrained. I once had to tell the man behind the counter how to make a pumpkin spice latte because he had no clue how to make one. An upside, Connecticut Muffin makes great muffins, bagels and cakes. read more

I've never been to a Connecticut Muffin before but I liked it. The large latte is actually giant. I get a large latte almost every morning and this one was so much bigger than the portion at my usual coffee shop that I almost couldn't finish it. They have a pretty big selection of pastries and also some more substantial food options. I only tried a croissant but it was really good! read more

This staff is pretty inefficient. Smoked salmon bagel was $7.50. Latte was $3.50. The tables and chairs are dirty and sticky. There's really no reason to come here. read more
