I was excited to try this cafe particularly because of their matchas. I ordered a passion fruit matcha which is different. The matcha itself was a bit more bitter and astringent than i'm used to and it didn't pair well with the passion fruit which was quite sour. So the drink was not my favorite. Perhaps other flavor combos are better, but I would prefer to go somewhere else for matcha.

I'm updating my review for one of the drinks that I had. I came back to this coffee shop to try their ube ice latte because I saw a video on social media and the drinks looks pretty cool so i tried it. Unfortunately my drink was missing the ube flavor, the coffee took over the drink for that reason i decided to update my review for this particular drink. The mix of colors were cool but the flavors were not there.

Enjoyed another great experience today at Ero Cafe. I ordered the Iced Latte Flight with the Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Ube, Vietnamese, and Cookie Butter Lattes. All delicious, but my personal favorite was the Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I loved that the Cookie Butter came with an actual cookie on top. I also ordered the avocado croissant breakfast sandwich, which was also yummy. Still recommend this cute and unique coffee shop to others!

I went here after visiting Sally's nearby and I'm so glad I did! Not only is the cafe beautiful but they offer matcha flights, which was an instant yes for me. You get to pick four so I picked Blueberry, Ube, Strawberry and Passion Fruit. While they were all great, my favorite was the Passion Fruit - it was so good! I definitely recommend this cafe if you're looking to enjoy a beverage in a beautiful atmosphere!

Such a cutesy spot with a rustic vibe! I like the makeshift bike/napkin station near the entrance, super unique. I saw the collab with follow Elite Jamie for a Cherry Garcia hojicha latte so I had to stop in ASAP. I got the latte iced and it was so so delicious and almost reminded me of a Neapolitan milkshake. The raspberry danish was heaven! Warmed perfectly and so flaky. There's seating outside available with a cute grass patch. The service was quick but I wish it were a bit friendlier. Me and a friend went on separate occasions and both felt like we were almost bothering the staff by being there.

Across the street from Wooster street entrance in the bottom of the new buildings/residences, this is a busy, but unique cafe. Parking, as most know in this area, is not easy to find. It's really more of a neighborhood place, which I'm sure is quite welcomed there. They have a good selection of matcha and hojicha along with the usual espresso/coffee drinks as well as a small menu of food items, most unique to the area. I ordered a strawberry matcha, a steak & cheese and a plantain empanada. The matcha was served in a real glass and layered as is typical, but it was difficult to mix with the flimsy straw and the first sip was all strawberry. The overall taste was a bit weak. The empanadas were small, but baked (I believe), which made for a healthier version than is typically available, and very good. When there's a chocolate chip cookie, I have to try it. It wasn't very good. Overall, a good place to meet and sit for a bit and get some work done or simply chill.

#34 in my NEW ENGLAND & NY COFFEE SHOP SERIES Saw this place on Instagram and had to try their matcha flight! Super aesthetic flight, drinks, and interior. Overall, a great place to study and grab drinks! In terms of our matcha flight, it was a bit disappointing. Wish it had more matcha flavor. Overall, just tasted a bit watered down. But the coffees we got were very good, not overly sweet and strong! They also have other monthly specials and food items as well. There are plenty of seats and outlets for those who choose to study or hang out there. I would come back again.

This cute little coffee shop is located in Wooster square just on the other side of Olive and Wooster apartments. The location is perfect, can be a great way to end your night after enjoying some newhaven pizza! They have a good amount of seating with larger tables good enough to sit to enjoy coffee or get some work done. The staff and owners are so kind in helping us order, and making sure we enjoyed our drinks. My friend and I both ordered the chai, and like the menu says "real chai, not the fake stuff you're used to". And I agree, it's not too overly done with spices it tastes a bit more authentic and is something I enjoy. Street parking is available

Stopped by this new little sweet Café on Olive Street right across from Sally. What a great new addition. I had the Ube cold foam white chocolate latte. The coffee was great. The people were wonderful. Truly loved the owners and staff. Love the general vibe of the shop have a little swing in the corner lots of comfy seating and a great design aesthetic. We know that they were getting Matcha in from Japan so we are very excited for our return visit.!

Large Iced Latte with cold foam and caramel drizzle on top...Awesome!!!

I've been on an iced latte binge, and I was fortunate to read about Ero Cafe. Upon visiting this fine establishment, I was greeted by an employee, unfortunately I don't know her name, but she was extremely cordial and courteous. Placed my order for a large Iced Latte with cold foam and caramel drizzle on top. after a few sips, I was totally satisfied and happy with my purchase...Awesome staff & Awesome drink...

My husband and I had such a great start to our day at Ero! They have creative lattes, matcha imported from Japan, and delicious Belgian waffles! Loved the industrial-chic vibe. The staff members were friendly, and they did a great job of maintaining their large volume of customers. Such a great spot to know about close to Wooster Street!

Super cool staff. Connected culturally. Felt the Central American love. 10/10. I got a dirty chai. My sister got a ube matcha and my brother was gifted an iced latte.

New Haven's newest coffee shop is a vibe of industrial but mixed with a luxury boutique feel. They offer Turkish teas (and top quality matcha) and local coffee from Giv Coffee (CT). They highlight their drinks of the month as well as their staple menu item: a Vietnamese coffee called 'Morning Rounds' inspired by the local Dr.N. They also offer food items too which include: tartines, waffles, empanadas, parfaits, and breakfast sandwiches (and more). Plus, for your sweet tooth they have a beautiful pastry case of cakes / desserts. Beyond coffee, they will be offering pop ups, live music, poetry and other various events in-house. The space has a variety of seating, WIFI and cute photo ops (bike car and swing). Its location offers street parking of New Haven and within walking distance of many favorite New Haven restaurants!

Finding a place to park was miserable. I parked in Sally's Apizza small little lot. Despite the signs thank goodness I did not get towed! Every person we encountered in Ero Cafe was super friendly! I got a Vietnamese Coffee which was good but strong! I also got a cookie butter iced latte. Now that was Yummy! I used the Bischoff cookie on top to eat the whipped cream. The cup was smeared with cookie butter which made my day! For lunch I had a steak panini. The steak was a shaved steak. The cheese pull I wish I would have gotten a picture of. Along with the panini came a unique salad it was well chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, (another veggie or fruit was in there but I could not tell what is was) and a garlic oil. Im not a big veggie person but this salad was delicious. If someone else was driving or nicer weather for a walk I would for sure go back! read more

The experience was disappointing from start to finish. The staff came across as cold and unwelcoming, which set a negative tone right away. All of the food arrived cold, and our table was initially given the wrong order. After it had already been handled, the staff took it back and served it to another table, which raised serious concerns about hygiene. My cappuccino was also served cold, and the coffee itself was very acidic and not enjoyable. Instead of making a new one, they poured it into another cup and reheated it with the steaming wand--even though I had already taken a sip. That felt unsanitary and unprofessional. Overall, there were multiple issues that suggest poor food handling practices. I wouldn't return. read more

Decently long waits for less than average cold brew and muffins. I ordered a Key Lime cold brew that absolutely no resemblance to a Key Lime in any capacity. I ordered a blueberry muffin, and the owner handed my wife a substitue blueberry bread, just assuming I would be ok with the substitute (without actually asking my preference). Not the best experience near Wooster street I've had (to say the least). read more

The speciality coffees are good, the atmosphere is nice. I'd recommend it for a quick drink. The food was not worth staying for- the salad was just a handful of bitter lettuce so not really a salad. The omelette only had one option for cheese, one type of bread and then my order came out wrong and not great :/ I don't know if the cafe is new and maybe they're still working out the kinks.

I love how they make their Ube in store and make it more "natural" versus the standard fake syrups. It's super cute on the inside and very clean. Their matcha is also ceremonial grade which if you're a matcha lover you know that's the best!Definitely a great spot to check out! read more

The drink was super delicious with a good amount of sweet and chocolate taste. The Cold foam was amazing!! And the highlight of it was the coffee itself, it was a Turkish style coffee that tasted different from most traditional shops. It was really smooth while also being a solid caffeine source!

This place is definitely a grab and go coffee shop since there is only 1 bar stool to sit inside and it's so small. Just enough room to walk in and order.

The Coffee Pedaler

This was some good coffee!…read more This was our first stop off the train from NYC. We needed a pick me up and energy for that infamous food crawl we were about to get into. So thankful it was in the quiet and quaint neighborhood of New Haven. Such a beautiful area. Very close to all the spots I had bookmarked. Cool coffee shop I gotta say. Spacious and clean. Just the actual vibe alone was relaxing. This is one of those locations where you can actually come sit and not be bothered. Few people inside were working on their laptops, some were just conversing with their friends. The barista was super friendly and worked fast. One thing I noticed and was wowed on was they serve wine as well. I mean how cool is that. Felt like I was at France for a minute, where the cafes serve coffee, tea and qwasonts during the day, and cocktails at night. Very chill. Can't thank them enough for how clean the bathroom was as well. All in all great coffee and service.

Not a lot of favor and no sweet at all which I thought that was interesting. The server did over to add more honey but I opted out because I was in a rush. They seemed business though. A lot of people inside on a winter day doing work. Maybe try a coffee , but they're no Latte Pedaler, at least to me.

On a recent visit to New Haven to see an exhibition at the Yale Center for British Art, we hoped to…read morehave dinner at one of our favorite restaurants (Barcelona Wine Bar), but they were fully booked with a Yale event. In a display of restaurant solidarity , they recommended that we try Vinas Wine & Tapas. As it turned out, we have a NEW favorite in New Haven! We arrived a bit early and were cheerfully greeted by Mike G, our server. The atmosphere was welcoming and relatively quiet, since their musical offering does not start as early as our 5:00-7:00 PM time slot on a Tuesday. We had asked for the waiter Christian because he had been mentioned in several of the Yelp reviews, but Mike proved that the service compliments should go to everyone. First, the tapas: We enjoyed all five of the tapas we chose. The "Calamares" were lightly battered and crispy. The Vinas salad was fresh, with tomatoes, cheese, corn, and croutons. The pork belly was delicious and more meaty than expected . The oyster mushrooms were presented with onion crisps. The baked birria empanada was stuffed with brisket style beef. Each of these "courses" was a unique delight to the palate, and for me and my partner, it was completely satisfying. In keeping with the spirit of a "wine bar," Vinas offered a flight of 4 wines in 3 ounce glasses, and after hearing about our food choices and wine preferences, Mike chose the wines for us, giving us a chance to taste some less familiar offerings. We had the Felino Malbec 2024 (Argentina), which became our favorite for its full-bodied and deep flavor. Our second wine was a unique Don Abel (private label) from Wallingford CT, made by one of the relatives of the owner, specially for Vinas. This one reminded us of the local wines one might receive in a B&B in the Loire Valley in France. The final two wines were both from Chile: Reserva Carmenere 2023 and Cabernet Sauvignon Marques de Casa Concha 2022. Both were excellent wines. It was great fun to have Mike choose the wines for us, and we really enjoyed the variety that the flight offerings gave to us. Of course, we had to try a dessert, and Mike recommended the Toffee Cake. We had heard that the owner claimed that some people cried with joy after eating it. Although we restrained ourselves, we had to agree that this was an extraordinary conclusion to a fabulous meal. Overall, this was a great experience for us, and we heartily recommend Vinas Wine Bar and Tapas for a relaxing and welcoming dinner. Some reviews I had read suggested that the portions were too small for the price. I have to disagree. My partner and I love food, and this was plenty. And the price was reasonable. Including tip and tax, we spent about $75 each.

The ceviche was excellent, everything was cooked throughout by the citrus. The portion size is small for $19 and it could have used a side of bread or tortillas to soak up the delicious citrus based broth. The skewers were also excellent. They were cooked perfectly, super tender, juicy and flavorful. They cooked them with a seasoning and had a delicious chimi on top.

I have been meaning to stop here for quite some time and finally stumbled in on a rainy morning…read more Quiet and unassuming on the block, this lovely locale is a breath of fresh air and full of warmth as soon as you step in. From the extremely clean space, sleek and minimal decor, and honey-like ambient lighting throughout, I just felt like I was developed in golden sunshine when I walked in. I was really impressed by all of the different nooks for seating from booths to two-tops to spaces that look dedicated for those looking to get some solo work done. I can see this being a really great spot for coffee dates, study dates, or even those who need a change of scenery for a remote work. The staff was incredibly welcoming and warm, helping me navigate the various options on the menu and I really appreciated that being it was my first time. Now onto the good stuff! I made my way over to order and was really impressed by the variety of goodies on display in the pastry case. I had yet to eat breakfast so I opted for the spinach tart for something savory, but trust me when I say I'll be back for dessert! For a caffeine boost, I enjoyed trying one of the samples of their traditional coffees (Mofawer) which did not disappoint and ultimately chose the Yemeni latte. I can tell they took their time making it with love, and the cinnamon dusted camel on top, put the biggest smile on my face! I look forward to coming back and trying more and more and more.

The Yemeni lattes were also solid, rich and aromatic without being overly sweet. The space itself is beautiful, with a warm and thoughtfully designed interior that makes it a great spot to sit and unwind. It's the kind of café that immediately catches your eye and invites you to stay a while. That said, the service didn't quite match the atmosphere. The staff came across as a bit distant and not particularly welcoming, which took away from the overall experience. A little more warmth would go a long way here. Still, between the pastries and the setting, it's a place with plenty of appeal, even if it doesn't fully come together.
