I have been here several times and it has consistently been a nice experience. The staff is generally friendly, helpful, and welcoming each time I visit. The space itself is clean and comfortable. It does lean a bit darker inside, but that seems to be part of the aesthetic they are going for. It gives the place a relaxed coffee shop vibe that works well if you want to sit, unwind, or get some work done. The coffee is solid. It is good, just not the best I have had. Still enjoyable and worth grabbing if you are stopping in. Their snack selection is where they shine a bit more. When the pastries are fresh they are really good. I have tried a few items like the banana loaf and lemon loaf and they have both been tasty and satisfying with a cup of coffee. Overall this is a great place if you are looking for a clean, generally quiet, and relaxing spot to enjoy a coffee and a sweet treat. I would definitely recommend stopping by. read more

My wife and I were recently in Stamford, and Modern Love came up as the highest rated nearby coffee shop. They actually had a publication on the wall praising them for their high quality. Modern Love roasts their own beans. I bought a house blend and another bag of beans. I also had a Black Cold Brew and it was definitely well above average and balanced for a coffee shop cold brew. The shop is nice. Service was reasonably efficient. We arrived about 20 minutes before closing on Sunday during Memorial Day weekend, which seemed to make the one person working somewhat anxious because she presumably wanted to get her weekend going. I obviously get that, but she could have been a touch less obvious about it as her 5 minute warning was a bit intense. In any event, I would definitely return. 4.25 Stars read more

Cute little coffee shop located in a busy shopping center. The coffee and BEC were okay, i would have liked to see more specialty drinks but the coffee itself was fresh and tasted great. read more

Ordered a tea and grilled cheese with onion/bacon jam. Tea was good. Grilled cheese was disappointing. Cheese wasn't melted enough and the bread was soggy from the butter. Wait time was kind of long for it too and it wasn't busy the time I went. Price wasn't worth it. It does have a cool ambiance and I would consider going back to check out their wine selection. read more

So overpriced!!! $10 for a bowl of soup. Takes 15 minutes for a to go order of just soup. . Plenty of other coffee shops in town. Don't bother with this one read more

food sucks. ambience sucks. the barista that is at the register on 8/15/25 at 2pm was very dismissive and rude and she keeps staring at me. it's rude to stare while I'm having my coffee for more than 2 Mississippi's. she stared for 4. Place is weird. read more

Love modern love coffee roasters! The best thing about them is their food and options for gluten free. Not many coffee shops in the area offer gluten free bread options for breakfast sandwiches and it's definitely appreciated! Great coffee and matcha as well read more

Mocha barely had a hint of chocolate flavor and they don't wait to pour the hot milk so your 16 ounce hot drink becomes a 10-11 ounce at best due to the inch to 2 inch head of milk foam. Disappointing drink, especially for being almost $7. read more

Cute spot near Dig. I enjoyed the matcha latte and appreciated that it wasn't pre-sweetened and was strong. I love that they use Oatly for oat milk too! My husband enjoyed his iced americano as well. Baked goods looked interesting (like chocolate hazelnut muffin) from a bakery in Ny. read more

This is a relaxed cafe with a great vibe and eclectic music. The albums are featured on the wall, too. The espressos and teas are flavorsome. They have pastries and select breakfast and lunch options. The oatmeal and avocado toast with an egg are tasty and good portions. They have gluten free bread, too, for the toast! If you want to bring home some beans, they have bags available for purchase and you get select free drinks with each bag purchased. The staff is friendly. read more

This was my first time coming to Turning Point and I would definitely come back! The heirloom tomato toast was by far the best of the things I tried, it was topped with really fresh ingredients and the smooth cheese with the crunchy toast was delish. I was less impressed with the quinoa bowl-- the peanut lime dressing was just really acidic and didn't taste that great. Everything beneath it was not dressed at all which makes sense but it ended up being pretty bland spinach, quinoa, and bell peppers with an overpowering dressing on top. I also found the cold brew to be really acidic but had a spicy of my friend's horchata and enjoyed that much more. Service was friendly and food came out fast!

Looking for breakfast options, I stopped by Turning Point after hearing some rave reviews. The small storefront is cozy and seats up to 3-4 groups, with a counter next to the window with individual seating; it looks like you can get work done here if you'd like, but client turnover was pretty frequent as well. I ordered an iced vanilla latte with oat milk and their avocado toast with eggs and bacon (toppings cost extra) on sourdough. While I liked the coffee, the avocado toast was a definite win for me; the portion was sizeable and perfect for brunch. Combined, the two items were almost ~$20, so I'll definitely have to save this option as a (worthwhile) treat for every now and then. Parking is plentiful with a lot in front and an adjacent unused lot, which is also a plus. read more

Terrible stomachache after drinking the matcha latte with almond milk. Perhaps the cups/pitchers were not cleaned in between making drinks. Nowhere to sit because there were single remote workers sitting at every table of 2-3 nursing their drinks probably for hours on end. One of the padded chairs open up but it was filthy and soiled. Very limited baked goods selection. read more

I always get excellent service here. Love their coffee and I have been coming here for years. Today, Dylan got my coffee ready even before I stepped inside, I didn't even order ahead. He said he saw me pull in. Lol. Im so glad this kind of service still exists. Love this coffee shop, love Dylan! Get your morning fix here everyday. Avocado toast is awesome too. read more

Super great coffee and muffins. Avocado toast is also wonderful and is in fresh tasting bread!

We went in this cafe because we had a meeting in Stamford. We had avocado toast and salmon toast with tea and a glass of beautiful floral and delicate Sauvignon blanc on the side (wines are served from 9am!). The toasts were drizzled with reduced balsamic vinegar. Generous serving and freshly warm on multi grain artisan bread. We like it a lot!! We will return if we are in the neighborhood again. read more

Good coffee. Average food. Fair Ambience. Service was quick. Seating was limited and decor could be better.

Great little cafe to work in and unexpectedly amazing food. I thought I would only go in for a drink and to study, but after seeing their menu, I decided to give the avocado toast a shot. I was very pleasantly surprised at just the look of it. It was a huge cut of multigrain toast so not only was I getting my fill of avocado, but I was also getting some multi grains in there too. Win win. Besides it looking huge, it tasted great. Whoever their chef is was not playing any games when it came to delivering on their lunch menu. It had flavor coming from whatever seasoning they used along with the cut up radishes. It was just great, but not big enough for me to not eat the whole thing. There's always enough room to finish a tasty meal. The drink was also very well made. I had the chai tea latte, and it was just right. Usually I like mine sweeter, but this seemed to do the trick. If you're studying or working, this is a great place to do it. It seemed to be pretty quiet with lots of outlets. Although, it's not the biggest cafe so try to get there before the others do. read more

I've lived in Stamford for 3 years and this is my favorite coffee shop! I genuinely could never tell the difference between coffees at other places and would pick a store based on their vibe instead. That's not the case with Turning Point - their coffee is significantly better than anything else I've tried. I also can't wait until we can go back inside (writing this during 2020 pandemic) because it used to be my go-to spot for charcuterie and wine as well! At the moment, delivery is keeping me sane because I can't go that long without their coffee. read more

With 4 tables each seating two and a nice decor, Turning Point sources and grinds their own coffee. The service has been uniformly excellent. They have a Rewards Card giving you a free coffee drink every so many. Their sandwiches (their food service closes earlyish in the afternoon) are excellent too. They also will pour you glasses of wine. They used to have bottles of wine for sale in display but no longer. Highly recommended for a relaxing cup of latte. read more

This is an excellent spot here in Stamford. The Vibe: The vibe feels like as if Ikea had a cool, older (non-pretentious) cousin (let's name him..Ben.) that moved here from San Francisco and was frustrated he didn't have a no-fuss coffee shop to easily ride his bicycle to that made him feel calm, focused and glad that also offered great beverages, to work out of so he opened this place. IF that makes sense to anyone else. (If not: It's well decorated, fresh and modern and clean with more industrial vibes than Ikea vibes (Hence the cool older cousin reference). This is a great place for Ben to work alone out of, meet us with a client or partner, a friend, or even bring a date for coffee and/or wine. But if anyone isn't into coffee or wine, they have really great extra options. Kombucha on tap, and my favorite: the turmeric latte..yum! Location: While this is located in a very busy area in Stamford, I love that it isn't directly downtown. I also love that they're in a location with parking (even though it can get a little chaotic in that lot, it's still nice to not have to "find" parking) If ever I have to bring something to the UPS in that strip, I'm excited because it means I'll plan to stop here too. I also love that it's so close the my barre studio making it all a set up for a great day. And while I'm all for supporting local businesses, I love when local businesses give their customers incentive to choose them (as if they needed to) but they offer a punch card for a free beverage which I just think is nice. read more

Stopped by here one Saturday morning to get my iced ube latte fix after finding out that they make it here. The place is cute, like ig photo op cute. They also serve some pastries and light lunch. Didn't get food though but my sister did and she said it's pretty good. Drink wise, it was pretty good. Wish they can make the flavor stronger because it was mild. Other than that, definitely will be coming back for more! read more

Friendly staff and accommodations are just enough for preventing too much loitering. One of the better tasting coffee roasters in the area. For non-coffee drinkers, there are some intriguing options. They do offer some wines and beers. Waiting times may be an unfortunate reality but shouldn't deter you from a good cup. read more

Talked into trying this fine coffee house out by a daily patron and let me be the first of many to tell you that, this place is short of amazing. It's small like a Starbucks without all of the hustle and bustle. The staff seem to be very friendly and didn't rush me as I was a-little indecisive on what to get, I finally went with the chirozo eggs and cheese on sour dough ( you read it right SOUR DOUGH BREAD ) which put the icing on the cake for the sandwich for me. The coffee as I was told is all roasted in house and it shows in every sip you enjoy. As a treat I had the almond Croissant which blew my mind once I respected-the fact that the slightly hard exterior was protecting the amazing inner workings of a masterpiece. There's not a doubt in my mind that you won't be satisfied, so give this place a shot read more

Cute little coffee joint but I just found my latte to be quite bitter. My SO's cold brew was quite bitter as well. The staff was super friendly and sweet though and to me that goes a long way, so maybe next time we just go for the Prosecco on tap! read more

The coffee is made to order and is delicious. The only downside is that it can take a long time, especially during busy times. read more

Wow. Lots of breakfast choices in the area, but this one rises to the top. Cute place, friendly faces. Vegan choices, but decadent also if you can handle it. We had avocado toast with egg, it was the most exquisite, tasty thing we have experienced. Oatmeal with almond slivers and berries also gorgeous, tasty and filling. Coffee and mocha with almond milk top notch. We are adjusting our future NYC trips for this place. read more

A much needed addition to the Stamford community. We have a lot of coffee places here (Dunkin, SB, Donut Delight, etc.), but not that many coffee shops where you can sit and do work or catch up with friends. The atmosphere is super cozy and the staff is extremely friendly. During my studying at the shop, it seems that there are a lot of regulars that stop by. It made my visit feel very neighborhood-y. I ordered a vanilla latte and it was hand delivered to me. The art was on point, which is appreciated for the insta :) They also have Cross Culture on tap, which is super convenient for when I need a refill of my jug. Hoping to be back soon to try the other drinks and food. read more

Been DYING to try this! Always looking for the next best coffee shop! Huge fan of coffee shops ! Saw the photos on Yelp & the place looked hip & trendy! Walked in to see a familiar face, Josh who worked at Franklin Street Works! THIS GUY knows his coffee! I'll write the same thing I wrote on their review about him, friendly, knowledgeable about coffee & passionate ! So great to see him here! To review the coffee, we got the fall spice which they make in house (along with all their syrups & flavors !) I got it with oat milk! Espresso is smooth, oat milk was creamy, spice was subtle & gives you fall feels! My boyfriend also got a slice of the lemon blueberry bundt. We LOVE lemon blueberry anything & it looked really good so he couldn't help himself! I tried a bite because gluten usual messes with me if I eat too much. The cake was moist, blueberries fresh, & cake moist! Beautiful :) Definitely want to try the homemade brown butter Rice Krispies! read more

Used to be a big fan of their gourmet grilled cheeses but my last order this weekend was awful. The truffle gouda with soppresata smelled expired - the soppresata especially had a terrible smell and after one bite, I knew it wasn't good anymore. The gruyere with bacon jam was also inedible with the overwhelming amount of cheese. Hope it was just a bad day for the kitchen, but will definitely be taking a break from ordering these sandwiches for a while. read more

This spot became my "Cheers" during covid ("Norm!") The whole team is fantastic and a great part of my day every time I go by. Coming from Brooklyn I was concerned about the coffee game in Stamford, but Turning Point is fantastic coffee - I am fully addicted. But wait - theres more! Their food is deadly too. Egg sandos are packed but still feel healthy and there is a chicken bowl for lunch thats particularly good. Need more? They sell beer and wine. Really good beer and wine. Nuff said. read more

Finally! Competent coffee comes to Stamford! This is a move that is long overdue + I fully expect the area to benefit from the friendly new addition of Turning Point Coffee Roasters. To be clear, when it comes to GOOD coffee, there are typically two ways to go: (1) the first is a gallery-style coffee experience, where the establishment essentially CURATES quality coffee options from other worthy roasters; (2) the second is the fresh-roasted coffee experience, featuring coffee roasted in-house by the same team that serves it. Stamford is already home to another quality coffee destination (Lorca), well-known to be a worthwhile gallery-style experience; but the area has been utterly lacking in a GOOD-QUALITY roaster experience... until now! THAT'S where Turning Point steps up to bat - and confidently knocks it right outta the park. AMBIANCE Stepping through the front door, you can expect to be greeted by the warm glow of vintage-style Edison bulbs dangling softly from the ceiling like incandescent stars. Chillhop-style music thrums energetically at a volume that makes for enjoyable listening without getting in the way. The textures of the interior are soft + hint of home. One entire wall is dedicated to a gorgeous display made up of mirrored windows, floating shelves, potted plants, and stacks of books - all set just above the primary seating area which is neatly organized against the backdrop of a long, plush blue bench. The wall opposite this is brilliantly styled after a minimalist reading nook, featuring mid-century modern chairs you could comfortably spend a whole day in, a cute little coffee table, more floating shelves, popular magazines hung on a ladder rack, and rows of vinyl records. The bar itself is spacious + packed full of goodies. There is room for at least 5 guests at the main bar alone. The equipment behind the bar is sparkling clean. (You can find another bar-style seating area at the front window if you prefer more light + a view.) Top to bottom, this coffee shop mirrors my best vision of what a coffee experience SHOULD be. I wouldn't change a THING. COFFEE + FOOD Just as one would expect, the coffee experience itself is utterly delicious. The menu is diverse + creative without becoming overwhelming, and the baristas are sure to be even more excited about coffee than you are! An ultimate tasting experience would include the Pour Over and/or Siphon Pot options - both of which do a spectacular job of highlighting the unique roasting notes + flavor profiles of the different beans. The pastries that you can find neatly stacked (and covered) on the main bar feature a local baker, who has even created a special macaron just for Turning Point using their own espresso (yum!). Sitting here in the reading nook, I can see those impressive custom macarons, giant cookies, muffins, croissants, a blueberry cake of some sort (looks SO good!), and more. Needless to say, no part of the menu disappoints; in fact, QUITE the opposite - I want to taste every last item right away! Haha! HOSPITALITY Walking through the front door, I was immediately + warmly greeted by Alexa, who smiled invitingly at me from behind the bar. She was working alongside Josh (Josh positively EXUDES a sincere love for coffee-as-art), who shook my hand + asked my name before excitedly introducing me to Chris, the owner. Chris took the time to learn about me and even gave me a casual tour of the shop + roasting station, demonstrating a seriousness + competency that has been sorely missed in the area until now, especially in the area of small-batch coffee roasting - although he attributes the interior design ideas to his wife (smart guy!). CONCLUSION All in all, I couldn't possibly be more impressed with this shiny new establishment than I already am. Turning Point Coffee Roasters promises to become a well-loved addition to the Stamford coffee scene + has already managed to fill an important void worth addressing. If you haven't yet been to Turning Point, don't feel badly: they only JUST opened this past Saturday (9/8/18). But when you DO decide to swing by for a visit, plan on staying awhile to enjoy the bright + welcoming atmosphere. And, as always, if you love the experience as much as I have: consider taking the time to do the Turning Point Team a solid by leaving a review here on Yelp! NOTE TO THE STAFF Thank you, Alexa / Josh / Chris, for working so hard to create such a wonderful experience for those of us in-and-around Stamford. I know for sure that I'll be back, and I look forward to sending others your way ASAP! Keep up the outstanding work. See you again very very soon. :) read more

I was quite excited to experience the coffee at Turning Point. I have been wishing for a coffee spot at this location for years. Unfortunately, I do not think I will be returning. The cold brew I ordered was not good.. at all. I was expecting fresh, well roasted coffee, but instead I recieved a drink brewed with burnt and unpleasant tasting beans. We also ordered a Matcha latte, becauwe we were advised that the matcha is too powdery as a plain tea. This drink too was unpleasant and felt gritty. Worst matcha latte, we have ever tasted. read more
