In Old Saybrook on Main Street I stopped by Cafe Toscana for some coffee with my two friends. This…read moreis a tiny little coffee shop that also makes some breakfast options. It looks cute from the outside, but looks like it could use a little refreshment both inside and outside. The outside screen door is hanging by a thread. The man working inside appeared to be the owner. And he was the only one I saw working. There was a woman in front of me, who was waiting for her order. Then it was my turn, I walked up to the counter to place my order, and he immediately said "do you know what you want? I'll take him instead." Referring to a customer sitting down. I just walked over, I wasn't hanging out. I'd say that's a bit uninviting and off putting. I quickly ordered a French Vanilla ice coffee, a hot coffee and an ice tea. There is an area where you can add what you need to your coffee. At the counter there is a sign that says to step away after you make your order. We got our coffees and sat outside. These were actually 20 ounce coffees for $10.00 altogether, so it was a real bargain. My coffee was perfect, flavorful, fresh and delicious! He truly makes excellent coffee here. I didn't like how off putting he was. Starbucks is just a few doors away. I'd much rather support a small business like this one then a chain like Starbucks. Coffee is excellent, I can't speak for the breakfast, there's plenty of room for improvement for the establishment and the vibe inside.

I brew at home so the wide variety of roasted beans offered and the ability to order .25 pounds of beans for sampling is ideal for me. I like that they often offer a couple of different bean options for my black iced coffee. Service was friendly. There was seating and food, but I just got iced coffee and beans to go. My iced coffee was good. The coffee I made at home with the Kenyan AA beans was also good. As the cup suggests, Willoughby's is for serious coffee people. I can't speak to their speciality coffee beverages. 4,5 Stars
