"Nothing you could say could tear me away from my guy…read moreNothing you could do, 'cause I'm stuck like glue to my guy" (Mary Wells) We took a morning coffee break, and had a wonderful time chatting, relaxing, sipping our drinks, and enjoying the friendly, mellow, and very chill atmosphere at the Café by New England Coffee Guy. They have plenty of seating, some upholstered furniture and we saw a few Friday morning telecommuters working on their laptops and sipping their coffees. Our order was a Chai Latte and a Cold Brew - each was $5. The pours were very large, and I swear that my cold brew was the very best I've ever had. I love coffee, drinking it hot or cold, and what I had here is in my all-time Top Five Percent. It was that good. I had a sip of my wife's Chai Latte and thought it was excellent as well. What really impressed me were the flavors of both drinks- not overpowering, but strong enough to appreciate them. The Coffee Guy has it all - specialty coffees, matcha, chai, espresso drinks, and pastries and sweet treats to pair with your coffee cup. We couldn't resist grabbing a few on our way out, and we took home a box with a Spinach croissant, iced blueberry scone, and a cruffin (croissant/muffin hybrid). We loved our visit to the Coffee Guy, and I was so impressed by the total experience, I just subscribed to their newsletter. So the next time we're looking for a midday break or afternoon pick-me-up..... I know a guy!

The café itself is super cute and had a cozy, welcoming vibe. Their bakery case was full of delicious looking treats that were hard to resist. Since I was on my way to an event with food I didn't get to try any pastries this time but I did order a honey cortado and it was perfect. Smooth, lightly sweet, and exactly what I needed in the moment. I can't wait to come back and try some of their sweets next time!

I ordered the iced latte. However I felt like for a coffee shop the coffee options were limited and didn't offer any specialty drinks/menu . And i didn't see any options for adding flavours like vanilla or hazelnut either which was disappointing for someone who ho loves to add flavour to coffee ( not sure if I just had to ask for it .. but didn't see it on the menu as an option) They did however offer a variety of different types of coffee and brewing options which was different . They also offered pastries and a limited food menu as well which I felt was little pricey . And the seating is also very limited , and uncomfortable . Not ideal for sitting and chatting for extend periods . Ideally I would come here for a grab and go coffee if you want something nice and simple .

There are lots of seating options both indoors and outdoors, which is a nice plus. I tried the Island glow Refresher and really liked it -- very tasty, but quite sweet, and the syrup settled at the bottom so it needed a good stir. I also had the Honey Bun Latte, which was just okay for me; there was a bit too much cinnamon, and I could feel the grains on my tongue. They do have a Banana Brûlée Latte on the menu that I definitely want to come back and try. Overall, a great spot, and I'm looking forward to returning and exploring more of the menu.

I was told it was a large coffee split into two. Never again will I purchase one of these duo cups. The coffee itself is very good, but the pricing should be altered a little bit. We also got mini macarrones, which I thought would be better than a tasted! They were stale!! They taste it absolutely horrible and there was no flavor. No differentiation between the chocolate, coffee, or the lemon. It all tasted by straight sugar and cardboard. Yuck Unfortunately, I probably won't be back due to the pricing and the experience I had with the food
