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.

There were several tables, mostly occupied by people who I assume were students. I did not hear anybody discussing the most current theories on the use of columns, but I'm confident they were thinking it. While this is not one of the nicer looking Willoughby's, the black iced coffee was very good. Smooth going down. Good aftertaste. Willoughby's is indeed about serious coffee. 4 Stars

The experience was disappointing from start to finish. The staff came across as cold and…read moreunwelcoming, 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.

I was excited to try this cafe particularly because of their matchas. I ordered a passion fruit…read morematcha 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.

#44 in my NEW ENGLAND & NY COFFEE SHOP SERIES…read more A small Yemeni business that deserves so much love! We had the pleasure to meet the owners of M2 Mocha and their fantastic team a day before their soft opening. They invited us into the space before it was ready and offered to make us drinks to try. Now that, is a testament to community and genuine hospitality. I cannot wait to continue coming here for delicious drinks, great service, and a good study spot. They have a large study space in the back where you can also order drinks from a kiosk. Very large space but cozy vibes for studying/working. Plenty of seating in their storefront as well. They have free wifi and lots of food options so it is a great place to go for lunch or a long day work studying. Great place for grab and go as well. Now for the drinks, they have lots of speciality lattes, refreshers, authentic Yemeni teas/coffees, and matcha! The owners are from Yemen and are bringing their authenticity to M2 Mocha. There are also lots of pastries and sandwiches offered. Overall, it's a great spot to enjoy a drink, grab a bite, study, or hang out with friends. Definitely a local business worth checking out!

They did have a tray of free donuts someone brought in that were really yummy from a shop nearby. The ambiance is adorable, very cozy and warm. Quiet spot everyone in there seemed to be working on laptops. The girl behind the counter was sweet and polite. the1 girl behind the counter had a handful of people in the cafe, she let me know when I ordered it might take a while- no worries I was there to meet someone anyways. But 30mins of chatting and I noticed I still hadn't gotten my chai, that's okay I knew she was busy. I had also ordered a hummus flatbread with falafel. The chair came and then an hour went by and still no flatbread, eventually I asked and the girl admitted she had gotten behind. Was making it now, well when it came out it had no hummus, just flat bread with falafel and mozzarella.. . She apologized and offered to make me a drink on the house to compensate. the falafel was very very dry. not exactly what I had expected. I only ate 3 bites. I ended up ordering a ginger iced tea. Good, but super spicy possibly too much ginger, my friend ordered the same thing and had the same comment about the spiciness. Overall, the place is cute good to meet for a coffee but not sure if I'd order food there again.

If his paradise was a library, Atticus is a little slice of heaven here in New Haven. I love love love this place!
