Cheese Pizza
Nichole O.

This was a sporadic trip after seeing this place on TikTok. The parking is HUGE at the race st location, I always worry about parking with places like this in the city. The staff was amazing and friendly! The coffee is hands down the best coffee I've ever had 10/10. I'm a coffee freak. I drove an hour and a half to get here, and does not disappoint. I love the ambiance of the place, everything is just perfect. The gift shop is really neat too! Will be coming back!

They were so nice to accommodate my request for a no bread breakfast sandwich! The other barista made me a cold brew with marshmallow cold foam!! Very nice ambiance! Perfect place to be in Bristol!

I happen to be at the Bristol bizarre when I saw that Yellow King had opened up inside! It's been on my list for a while now, so I decided to have a drink after shopping!! I look forward to going back soon, so I can order food too!! The drink was so delicious!!

Great Fall drinks! My warm Chaider (chai steamed with apple cider and brown sugar) hit the spot on windy morning! Definitely would visit again!

Hot Cocoa Flight

Granted, it was within 10 days if Christmas when I visited. That said, the staff was completely overwhelmed. There were only 2 people on duty and our orders for hot cocoa flights took about a half hour to get. Our food was consumed long before the drinks came. The cafe itself is small with metal bar stools comprising the majority of the seating along a counter along the windows or a bar. The sausage and cheese croissant and hot cocoa flight I ordered were both tasty, but it was chaotic and loud and took way too long. They need to hire more staff.

Yippee Ki-Yay

There is a new monarch in Bristol, and his favorite primary color, is neither Red nor Blue. That's right! Yellow King (YK) opened adjacent to Bristol Bizarre. I've visited the Wallingford YK a few times. They're known in the CT Foodie World for cool coffee beverages and cocktails such as Espresso Martinis (and especially flights of them). I learned that YK had opened in Bristol from a co-worker from NW CT who was sipping from a Yellow King cup at work in Hartford. I visited a few days later. The Bristol YK is much smaller than the Wallingford location, but there is a bar which maybe could accommodate seating for 10 and some additional seating along the wall. You can also order a coffee and browse the crafts, etc. at Bristol Bizarre. I ordered one of the Seasonal Specials -- the Yippee Ki-Yay (was Die Hard a Christmas Movie?). It consisted of Jambi Cold Brew, gingerbread syrup, eggnog cold foam and cinnamon. Looks great. Tasted great. Not cheap enough to be my everyday coffee, but it's a nice splurge coffee. That's all I had, but I noticed Yellow King's offerings included Tribus Beer, Zupps Apizza, bagels and breakfast sandwiches. Getting a Yellow King seems like a Home Run for Bristol and the Bizarre.

Back of the bar area, where you order & coffee pick up spot

I am a regular at Yellow King Brew's North Haven location so it was fun taking a trip to a new-to-me area and to check out their second location. If you are used to North Haven, you might be shocked how small this location is at first. The bar takes up most of the space, but they continued to keep their industrial vibes, brand and larger than life murals. They had a lot of staff working so the drinks were turning out quickly. I got one of their March seasonal drink, Mint'ro. It was made with their Jambi blend nitro with topped with mint white mocha cold foam. The color of it was so fun, both the coffee and cold foam were vibrant green! It tasted minty with a hint of vanilla and subtle coffee taste. This location seems to be in an old factory-like building in a neighborhood. There is a generous amount of parking. Yellow King Brew is next door to the Bristol Bizarre which the two are connected from the inside. Besides the Bristol Bizarre, a shop that curated local handmade items, art and gifts in one place, there isn't much else in the immediate area. It's great that Yellow King Brews has expanded and love to see where else they'll end up next.

Chips and guac

This was a cool little place to get a drink and snack. The drinks are centered around coffee, which is great! However, the optional snacks do not mix well with them. It is nice to have something, but would rather something that pairs a little bit. The bartenders were very polite and quick to help.

Located in the same building as the Bristol bazaar. I'm not sure what was going on the day we came for breakfast but it was a bit chaotic. I think it was the first day they started the hot chocolate flights and they were very understaffed with just 2 employees on to help everyone for both pick up and sit down to dine orders. I could tell that it is a local fave for coffee spots based on the lines and how busy they were. That being said then I would have expected more staff. There is not much chair and table seating so if you have mobility issues or difficulty sitting in bar stool like chairs then this is not a place for you. There is only one table with chairs the rest are bar stool and counter type seating. We ordered breakfast sandwiches and the hot chocolate flights. By the time our flights came out our sandwiches at already been consumed. It took so long due to staffing that I almost contemplated saying just for get the order. Once we did get our drinks it was very good. Just wish we could have enjoyed the experience more.

Double stuffed Oreo cold brew

First found yellow kings in Wallingford and I fell in love with their menus. So happy to see Bristol have a location so I can get all my seasonal favorites. They coffee blends are smooth without an over roast bitterness you get with some other shops. The menus change seasonally so if you can grab a coffee flight I highly recommend it.

It's beautiful inside. There are murals on the walls inside and outside. Someone can sit and simply admire all the art. At least, that's what I would do. Quick service and friendly staff couldn't have asked for anything else. Hot chocolate was enjoyed deeply by my daughter. It was a little wait for the flights. It was worth it though!

cookie monster

So exciting to see a second Yellow King location! This spot is definitely smaller than their original location in Wallingford, but still has a couple tables, long window seating, and a full-sized bar. We came by for Thursday Trivia and didn't expect it to be as small as it was, definitely odd for hosting trivia but we made it work! I really enjoyed my cookie monster cold brew which is one of their signatures. They had a few beers on tap, their famous espresso martinis, extensive bourbon list and some fun craft cocktails. We weren't drinking alcohol, but I will definitely be back to try their espresso martinis! They also do an espresso martini flight from 12PM-6PM for $35! Great to share with a friend!

Gingerbread cold brew and cannoli cold brew
Taylor M.

Yellow King is one of the best coffee shops in CT. They offer an extremely creative menu of coffee / espresso martini options. We love that they change their specials with the seasons so you never get bored. For the holidays they have a cannoli coffee and a gingerbread cold brew topped with egg nog foam. It was absolutely delicious. We loved enjoying our delicious coffees while exploring the shops at the Bristol bazaar!

My son took me to Milkcraft while we were walking around West Hartford. Here are the things I said,…read morein order: "I'm not really hungry, but you can get something." "Oooh, it looks cool in here...smells yummy, too!" "These flavors! Okay, maybe I'll get something...but what?!" "Bourbon breakfast, please!" I had to end the quotes here because I'm sure some unholy sounds came out as I ate some of the best ice cream I've ever had. I say some of the best because I tried all of my family members' flavors and they were all winners. Also, we live in Connecticut, where there is a lot of great ice cream. Anyway, go to Milkcraft. Long lines? Probably. Expensive? Kind of, but you very much get what you pay for...a transcendent ice cream experience with flavors you won't find elsewhere.

What happened? We…read morecame to Milkcraft a few years ago. It was vibrant and lively inside, with lots of people trying an assortment of cool and unique flavors. The Vietnamese coffee ice cream was great. We came again today after a nice local lunch, looking for a small sweet treat to end the day. The inside was dirty. The ice cream freezer had years of ice and grime built up on the inside. It was half empty and the flavors remaining were fairly mundane. We tried the most interesting looking one - a milk and cereal creation. It tasted like warm vanilla ice cream with hints of crushed up salty, stale cracker. There are lot of other places in town that offer fun desserts, so we'll go other places next time.
