My son and I stopped in here over the Christmas break while we were in New Haven…read more It was cold and the ride from New Jersey was long enough that we wanted to grab a coffee and pastry. Wonderful selection of baklava and similar pastries. We ordered a coffee and I had a specialty coffee and we ordered 3 of the various pastries. It was more than $30. I did not ask the price on the pastries prior to ordering- so that's on me. This has the feel of a local stop and regulars so if you're in the area it's worth checking out.

A lovely barista took great…read morecare of us as we were a bit delicate, having spent the night in the Sprinter van in the nearby Cracker Barrel parking lot. A latte for Mrs. K. and a cortado for me, with it some Turkish Delight (original rose water, of course) and two small squares of walnut baklava for me. Absolutely perfect and such a comfortable place to sit for a bit. Beautifully decorated, comfortable seating, great coffee and so many delicious treats available. I was not able to get the wifi to work. No worries! [Review 948 of 2025 - 105 in Connecticut - 24503 overall]

Love this place! If I owned a bar/restaurant this would be it!…read more Greeted by a charismatic young lady that was extremely helpful and welcoming for a mid week lunch stop off on my way north. I was hooked by the name. Quirky. Perfect for me. The decor is very local. It's plain but upper middle class dive feel. The menu was very ambitious, but delivered. Hot-crispy fries and chips seasoned perfectly. Chicken sando on a great focaccia was a banger. Beverage was a Fuzzy baby duck IPA. Quirky and I couldn't pass it up. Highly recommend!!!

Not a fan of this place. The decor was confusing.....sports, a crooked goat head, big sexy signs…read moreand a few ?? Satanic symbols similar to Baphomet. I just didn't get it. Loved their sours idea of the Cajun spiced chips but they were so excessively spiced they were inedible (your lips and tongued burned awfully) and I love heat (I'm a fan of ghost peppers) and spice. The big sexy sandwich tasted great but left me nauseous all night long making me wonder if something in it was off. It was disappointing. On the other hand they make an excellent expresso martini. As a bar I'd recommend this place but as a restaurant I would not

My husband always gets the Veggie panini with chicken sausage and for myself the Westville bowl with added impossible patty. Always delicious! A few times, we came for brunch as they have great specials. When we dine in the food always comes quickly. This is a staple in our neighborhood!

I had the chicken and waffles and for $3.25 extra upgraded to real maple syrup, my hubs had a veggie omelette with home fries and rye toast. We would stop again if in the area.

This may, ultimately, turn into the best sandwich-encompassing (and adjacent) offering in my experience. Yes: what I'm saying is that their empanadas may be the best 'bread meets meat' dish in the eastern half of the country. Gyros, sandwiches, tacos, etc., etc. The only real change in my opinion- an avowed carnivore, mind you, is that the vegetarian empanada is the best of all the flavors. This is a statement I do not take lightly. I am a meat person. And the vegetarian empanada is something I'd want as a death-row-last-dish meal.

Highest quality food in the whole area! Fresh, delicious, gourmet and so good. Friendly and clean,…read morefast. Can't get enough of their green sauce, just really great to grab and go or a quick bite in house for healthy, homemade food. Best empanadas!

So much meat and it's good corned beef too! The sandwich was toasted, unlike NYC location and also $10 cheaper. Worth it. Chocolate bomb was meh.

Unfortunately can't even give them a 3 because of how poor the pastrami was. I got a Rachel with…read moreeverything on it, and a side of fries. I think I was spitting out bad pieces of meat (extremely chewy) with every single bite. Not a fun experience. Very dry as well. The fries were very tasty at least. Wouldn't come back.

This is my favorite brunch place in New Haven by far! We come here often and it is right across the…read morestreet from where we used to live. My husband and I always get the same thing and split it as it is enough for 2. The blueberry pancakes are delicious! Omelettes yummy (well seasoned) - we always add mushrooms, ground impossible sausage and spinach. I usually get a chai latte or seasonal latte and hubby gets the lavender lemonade. Service is fast and the energy is lively and although always busy, they never rush you out. We also love the neighborhood and always run into friends here, it has an energy of "it's the place to be".

After several visits, Poppy's has become one of my favorite local places in New Haven for brunch…read more This charming little cafe has a simple and clean atmosphere and delicious coffee and brunch options. This morning, I met some friends here and ordered the Poppy's Breakfast and an iced Vietnamese coffee. I was pleased and overall we had a great experience. Additionally, I noticed they have an updated menu, which is always exciting to see a business improve. Poppy's is definitely a place I recommend and I look forward to coming back in the future.
