    I enjoy trying new cafes. It's like a favorite hobby of mine lol. This one was ok. The latte was pretty good. They had a minimal selection of pastries so I got a blueberry muffin. It was good but it would have been nice if they had more options. Seating was limited. Decent spot, I'd probably return just to pick up a coffee rather than hoping for available indoor seating

    Visited for the first time for their 4th anniversary celebration! They crafted a special menu consisting of their fan favorite lattes. I tried the maple cinnamon bun latte which was deliciously sweet still with a nice espresso flavor. The interior is pretty small with just a small bench and 3-4 tables but it's cozy and decorated with real plants. Despite the line being out the door, the staff was efficient and friendly.

    Sorry I ate half of my goodies already when I remembered to click a picture.

    This is a wonderful bakery in north haven that is very popular. They make delicious baked goodies in limited quantities. Please check their instagram page for their menu details. They sell out soon so it's better to get there early.

    Peanut butter pie iced latte

    Soo good I had to come 2 days in a row. The peanut butter pie iced latte is just amazing. The service was quick and efficient - both baristas both days were very pleasant. The inside honestly wasn't what I expected it's very cluttered but perfect grab and go spot!

    First and foremost...hard work, creativity and dedication are not only noticeable but front and center at this coffee shop. Actually, it's more than a coffee shop, it's like the Cheers of coffee shops where everybody knows your name and knows what you like to drink or eat. It's the kinda place where you walk in at 7AM with a case of heavy brain fog and the owner says "I gotcha, buddy" and just makes you the drink you couldn't muster up the words to say. The tremendous amount of community that the owner and her crew have built in the "short" amount of time they've been open is also evident so much so that when they're closed for a much needed break there's a noticeable emptiness in that plaza. The space is vibrant with creativity that is extends beyond their monthly/seasonal drink specials but the freshly baked goods that are made each and every day. Black sesame and white chocolate scones?? Who would've thunk that would work and damn it, does it ever work that I base my weekends around their scone offerings for the day. Maybe the selection is small to some but there are plenty of options for anyone and the selection is fresh daily. I'm a sweet guy but my wife LOVES the savory croissant creations each weekend. Coffee drinks are all done with care and an actual knowledge of the craft for what, for example, a cortado actually is and not what $buck$ has brainwashed their consumers into thinking it is. Best smoothies around, when available. Monthly/seasonal events that continues to foster community and shine a light on other small local artisan businesses. Watch their social media for new items, events, collaborations with other area coffee shops, bakeries, concerts coming to town!! The creativity is endless and doesn't stop at the coffee and baked goods selections. Definitely worth a visit.

    I have seen so much about crossroads online and took a quick visit on a Sunday afternoon! crossroads had a cute, earthy atmosphere with some tables and chairs to hang out or even work. Their menu had all the classics like cappuccinos, cold brew, and specialty coffees! I was happy to learn that they also had a light lunch menu and smoothies. Their coffee was delicious and I always love seeing what specials they have. Will definitely be back! Love that this is in North Haven! Check out more on Instagram @sipsandsizzles

    Time for an update! We love Crossroads. We look forward to their specials every month. This month they blew it out of the park with the (labor intensive) bliss-mallow and bunny fuel specials! They still have fun baked goods and always offer a vegan and gluten free option! Their food options are great for quick meals. My favorite is the little spicy. Definitely a spot worth stopping!

    I have heard rave reviews about Crossroads from several friends, so when I was in the area recently, I knew I needed to make a pit stop there. I have to admit I almost passed by it (so be sure to be on the lookout for it when your GPS tells you you are close) and am so glad I have good brakes :) What Crossroads might lack some of the bells and whistles other small CT coffee shops thrive on - they make up for it in spades in their coffee and espresso drinks. There's something about house-made syrups and an attention to detail that can make a good drink next level AND Crossroads has that down to a science. These GPS directions have been saved and will be called upon now whenever I am in the area.

    Such a great little place! There is both outdoor and inside seating. They offer cappuccinos, lattes, matcha, smoothies, wraps, and baked goods. Plenty of gluten-free options available too. The atmosphere is calm and very enjoyable to have a cup of yum while chatting with a companion. Cute spot to checkout!

    Crossroads might very be my top favorite local coffee shop. Serving some of the best coffee, unique specialty drinks, baked goods, smoothies, lunch and wicked fun events. From rich black coffee to tasty matcha teas, Crossroads is always experimenting with coffee flavors like miso or smoked juniper. I try to go to try their special monthly flavors every month because they are truly new coffee/tea adventures (see photos for drinks from this year) They have homemade coffee syrups that are sometimes bottled up for you to take home--my favorite is lavender! The baked goods in the goodies case are all homemade or from another local businesses like Kouign's. The scones are my goodie of choice, the Blueberry Basil being my favorite. I never leave without a baked good--typically I bring home a few. There are gluten-free, dairy free and vegan options, plus everything is marked. This is very help since I have a few food allergies and if I have any questions, the owner and staffed are so kind to find out for me. This is a coffee shop that you can wind down or become your new remote office. The atmosphere is soothing, quiet and calm. It's also decorated with mirrors, mix of materials (wood, metals) and plants everywhere. I vibe with this place so much. I love introducing this Crossroads to my family and friends. There is always something to love and it's exciting to see new coffee innovations. Come experience Crossroads yourself--and if you aren't adventurous, they do have simple hot and iced coffees too!

    Black Cold Brew and White Grape Slushy

    As an Instagram Food Blogger (@pastathedogctjp) who also regularly writes and reads CT Yelp reviews, I digest a lot of food and drink content on a weekly basis. One or more people I follow (can't remember who for sure) posted about Crossroads and I made a mental bookmark. So as I was driving along Route 15 and needed a coffee place in the general area, one might say, "I went down to the Crossroads." Thank you! Good night! I'm hearing that I can't end a Yelp review in this manner. I'll proceed. Crossroads is in the middle of a nondescript plaza, but walk inside, and it is certainly "descript". You are among plants, baked goods, multiple large menus, wood and bricks, and the person who helped me was wearing an AC/DC t-shirt. TNT indeed. Crossroads serves coffee, smoothies, salads, bowls, wraps, breakfast, etc. My new thing is, when I first try a coffee place, I order a cold black coffee (my normal order) and a more elaborate Iced coffee beverage, so my review has broader context. I ordered a Black Cold Brew. It was good, not great. Something happened on my way to ordering that second coffee . . . White Grape Slushy. I am a sucker for an icy, sweet and sour beverage. And wow! White Grape slushy hit all the right notes. I'm not sure if it's always available since it was highlighted on a board on the Counter, but I'll be stopping in to get one. Even if I have to make a deal with the . . . . Good night! 4.5 Stars

    The monthly specials are always SO good. The flavor combos are always so exciting. All of the flavors are house made. There are always gluten free baked goods too. They also have smoothies! I am never disappointed here.

The moment we walked in the ambiance was inviting and the atmosphere had good energy. The owner Patrice was engaging and a joy to talk to. There was a menagerie of things to choose from, expresso, smoothies, detox drinks, oils, rose water etc. And those cute lion of judah expresso set (not for sale lol). I ordered my açaí bowl it was just right and hit that hunger spot. My son ordered the beef patty and lentil soup he loved it. He washed it down with a mango soursop smoothie. He texted his wife that it was so good, now she wanted two beef patties lol. I brought some rose water. And my son got 2 jerk chickens sauce. All in all I had a pleasant experience and Patrice was awesome nothing but good energy. Oh did I tell you she gave a us a sample shot of the peanut punch smoothie. It was delicious and refreshing. I will definitely patronize Naturaw Smoothie when I visit CT. I highly recommend you guys to try it as well. Run don't walk there lol. I wish you much success Patrice it was great talking to you see you later
