Delightful first experience at Green Kettle Coffee yesterday! It was a bright and welcoming space…read more Super friendly and helpful staff. I couldn't make up my mind since every latte & syrup sounded great, and they even have staff picks posted, but I asked for the person helping me if they had a favorite & ordered that! Blueberry brown sugar it was! I felt like hot, and it was great. Surprised how much both flavors, even blueberry, came through. I could even see myself bringing in my laptop and staying with coffee, it was that comfortable. Incredible first experience. MANY more are sure to come! I need to work my way through that brilliant sounding menu!

The service is attentive here. The espresso is made well!…read more They have lots of gluten free options for snacks or breakfast items, like the overnight oats or energy bites. I had the carrot cake inspired overnight oats and I liked that they weren't sweet, but did notice a complete lack of raisins which were listed on the ingredient list and would have elevated the flavor. I would definitely go back and try more items!

So disappointing. The café is very pretty, but the service and food quality were terrible. The…read morechicken tasted like frozen supermarket tenders, and there was so much maple syrup on my plate that it made everything soggy. The coffee was disgusting and not even hot--I had to send it back, and they still brought me a completely different drink than what I originally ordered. There were barely any customers, yet I waited over 15 minutes just for coffee and even longer for the food. The staff seemed uncoordinated and overwhelmed despite how slow it was. For $45, this experience was absolutely not worth it. Save your money and go elsewhere.

Upon arrival, the Bees Knees Bistro is cozy inside. Our server was attentive and all the staff…read moreseemed pleasant and helpful. Onto the drinks and food which were so delicious and truly enjoyable. I got the Beachy Bee Iced Latte special, which is a honey vanilla latte with a coconut cold foam and toasted coconut on top (simply divine)! My fiancé got the cappuccino which was made just to his liking, and he's a coffee connoisseur. For food, I had the Bumble, which I highly recommend, with scrambled eggs, subbed with the gluten free sourdough bread (+$2 up-charge) and cheddar instead of American cheese. It's served all day and had so much flavor with that garlic butter, and the seasoned steak. Yum! If you are gluten free like me, you will appreciate that they have the gluten free sourdough bread or a gluten free wrap to substitute with. My partner had the Basic Bee with bacon and thought it was flavorful with light and fluffy scrambled eggs that complimented the bacon well. Overall, I would really recommend this place if you're looking for a breakfast or lunch in Wallingford!

I normally try to give places the benefit of the doubt, but our experience at The Bees Knees Bistro…read morein Wallingford was honestly very disappointing and upsetting. My family and I arrived while it was raining outside with our young daughters in strollers, expecting to sit down for a meal and get out of the weather. Instead, we were told we could not come in with the strollers and essentially felt unwelcome the moment we walked through the door. As parents of babies who are still too young to sit safely in high chairs on their own, the strollers are not optional for us , they are necessary. We were not being disruptive, rude, or inconsiderate. We were simply trying to have a meal as a family. Rather than attempting to accommodate us or show any understanding, we were left feeling like having children made us an inconvenience. What made the situation even worse was the fact that it was pouring outside. Any level of kindness or flexibility would have gone a long way. Instead, we felt embarrassed, frustrated, and honestly shocked by the lack of compassion and customer service. Families with young children already face enough challenges going out in public, and experiences like this make it even harder. We ended up leaving and taking our business somewhere else that was far more welcoming and understanding toward families. It is disappointing because we were genuinely looking forward to trying this restaurant, but first impressions matter. A restaurant does not need to be "kid-centered" to still treat parents and babies with basic respect and decency. I completely understand that restaurants may have space limitations or policies, but there is a respectful and compassionate way to handle situations like this. Instead, the experience came across as cold and dismissive. There are many restaurants in the area that are happy to accommodate families, and moving forward those are the businesses I will continue to support. Unfortunately, after this experience, I will not be returning and would not recommend this restaurant to families with infants or children who still require strollers or extra accommodations. I wont be going back and giving them .you business, nor will I be recommending this place to anyone. Totally rude and discrimination towards those with babies. I did not feel cherished like their website says every guest is. Its sad because this will and im sure does effect their business. I will never give them my business after yesterday. No attempts at accommodating us or evening offering to let us sit outside, lazy staff, but yet there were 3 teenage girls taking names for the wait list. What a joke.

One of my favorite coffee spots in Wallingford! I crave the specialty lattes and am always excited…read moreto see what's new. My favorite so far has been the Amore, which has mascarpone cream from Kouign. Also a huge fan of ordering a chocolate croissant and getting it heated up! It hasn't been too loud each time I've been, so I find it to be an enjoyable spot to work or read as well.

#25 in my NEW ENGLAND & NY COFFEE SHOP SERIES…read more A great coffee shop with delicious and fun-inspired seasonal drinks! I would definitely come back to try more seasonal items. Just knocking down a star because you all know how I love to review on study/workability. While you can definitely study/work here, there are only 3 tables and a couch area. If you get there early, it is great! In addition, the service was not the best. They have a bunch of breakfast items as well, including bagel sandwiches. For drinks I got a fall seasonal kettle corn latte and it was really good! My mom got a caramel apple cold brew which was not as good, tasted a bit bitter.

I finally had the absolute pleasure of visiting Crossroads recently. What an outstanding place…read more Super awesome, cool and friendly owner/staff. Inviting comfy space. So far, I have only tried the one latte, the jasmine peach latte, which had peach puree, house made jasmine syrup, house made white tea cold foam and dried peaches. It was probably the best latte I have ever had. While their specialty drinks are only available small & medium, their sizes are 16 oz, 20 oz, 24 oz, so the small is actually the equivalent of some shops' large. I have only heard good things about their baked goods/pastries and they both looked and sounded amazing. I can't wait to try one hopefully very soon! Overall it was as close to a perfect experience as you get. Must try for sure. Immediate top spot for me.

Recently obsessed with this local coffee joint. Been spending the week in North Haven checking out…read moresome spots. Super cozy place, eco friendly with some of the best coffee/matcha. Friendly service at the counter, few tables inside to lounge at. My wife and I frequent the Last Drop in Monroe and this is ultra comparable. Very good pricing and kudos to them for using and making homemade syrups! I am a matcha guy so I get an iced matcha latte with vanilla cream cold brew. My wife has had the special Cherry Cold Brew which sells out quick and some lattes with cinnamon brown sugar, fantastic. I vow to get there early enough one of these days to try their blueberry muffins, always sells out quick. They have a host of other pastries as well, you are missing out if you don't try this place.

It's a good thing it's not so often as we would fall into a coma before lunch even hits. Neil's Donuts is by far one of the best donuts we've ever had. I'm a Boston Cream lover and my goodness, they know how to make a Boston Cream! They slice the entire donut in half and slab on a generous portion of bavarian cream, which is not overwhelmingly sweet at all, which balances the sweetness of the chocolate frosting. I was not able to finish a whole donut in one sitting and saved the other half for lunch time. We were so lucky to be surprised with this goodness as it is almost an hour away from where we work. Shoutout to Bret, my past manager and donut delivery man!
