The food was great and the smoothie was amazing, however I was just concerned because a older lady came to me twice asking me about another order saying ingredients were finished and if I could choose substitutes. Very confusing setup and I was hoping my order would be accurate after these two encounter. The Process after the order is taken need to be streamlined to not mess up other people’s order cause this could easily be the case for mine.

First time in New Haven and stopped by to get some hot drinks. Owners are really nice and the cinnamon almond chocolate chip flat biscotti is a must-try! Highly recommend:)

I don’t know if our experience was COVID related or a normal experience, but it took 75 minutes to get our food. We ordered a scrambled egg, egg sandwich & a waffle. Unless you want a basic coffee or a pre-baked item, you could be waiting a long time. The staff was friendly, but we definitely won’t be returning.

Awesome little shop! Got to meet the owners, great people. Friendly Staff. Will be back!

Super friendly, great coffee! AND They gave my tiny Chihuahua a biscuit! Also the biscotti is fantastic!

Love this place. Such a nice atmosphere and the way they incorporate this tree into the front desk is just so cool. Lots of great seating. Consistently busy with a steady flow of customers but they do a great job keeping pace considering everything is made fresh to order. Great selection of all kinds of delicious treats as well as sandwiches, etc.

The breakfast was amazing. Muffins, smoothies and breakfast sandwiches. Yum! Friendly owners, comfy setting. I can’t wait to go back.

Delicious peanut butter/chocolate biscotti and lattes! Very nice staff and relaxing feel when sitting inside

Friendly fun vibes, polite and quick. The both the coffee and the food are delicious

EXCELLENT bagel sandwich. Long wait, but I get it, its strange times. The whole system of ordering and getting it to people is really disorganized and probably exacerbated the wait. Only thing that wasnt great was the strawberry smoothie I got.

Really awesome family owned business in the middle of a college town! Cold brew was very well made and not watered down! Vegan friendly and food made to order customizable by the buyer.

This is a great place to work and a less crowded option then further downtown if you hit it at the right time of day. From yoga balls, to a long bar, plush comfy chairs, and plenty of tables and seating options available. Also of note: plugs for computers/phones. Appropriate for a client meeting, a casual date, or some quiet reading.The food options are healthy and tasty. The smoothies and juices are also of high quality and worth every penny.Hard working, thoughtful and cheerful people own and work at this place and you feel welcome when you walk in. Dont forget to leave a note on their community chalkboard before you leave!

Great little cozy cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. Fresh food made to order. Specialty coffees, smoothies, and teas. The employees are friendly and courteous. Plenty of on street parking as well.

Absolutely delicious! Cozy cafe with seating inside and out. Perfect street parking. Nice and clean and friendly staff. The food was fresh and taste delicious. They have a great selection of everything and specialty coffees and teas!

I love the interior design of the cafe. Coffee options are cheaper than other cafe nearby. Egg sandwich and Avocado toast deserve 5 stars.

Went to this cafe on our way from Bridgeport to Boston and had a terrible experience. The lattes and food were great (albeit overpriced). However, the male manager/owner was SCREAMING at their staff in front of 16+ customers, to the point that the girls were in tears. They were doing the best they could, and he was so nasty to them telling them they were slow, incompetent, etc. I would NOT recommend spending your money here and visit a cafe where the owners/managers know how to treat others with kindness and respect.

Delicious!! Muffins fresh out of the oven. Very friendly service. Will stop back again when in the area.

Great food and good coffees. A solid selection of foods (at least for breakfast) including vegan options for those who need them.

The avocado toast is amazing. And love the vibe here.

Everything is so fresh and very tasty. The staff was so kind too!

Excellent food. Great drinks and an awesome spot to get some morning work done.

Need to go back, but my first visit was a charmer. Coffee and egg sandwiches, outdoor seating.

Loved the atmosphere and their dirty chais. Avocado sandwich is worth a try.

I ordered an iced americano and they used dirty (reused the same white espresso) cups to catch the espresso. Since the cashier wasn’t watching the espresso it overflowed and then she poured the bitter remaining espresso into a cup with no ice - it was still steaming so i asked for a cup of ice to pour it into since it was still hot. After all this it tasted bitter and why pay $4.75 plus tax for something that doesn’t taste good.Also here’s pictures of a “baked” muffin they sell that is still wet and uncooked dough 🤮

We were in the area of this establishment and was recommended this place to get a quick bite. I ordered the Belgium waffle with fruits. It came with strawberries and banana. The fruits were nice and fresh. My friend ordered the grilled chicken avocado salad. The mangos on the salad were very fresh also ( I helped myself to one). The salad came out right away but there was quite a wait for the waffle.The cafe has a nice and cozy feel. Looks like a nice place to come and get some work done. Most people had their laptops out. They have high chair tables and they also have an exercise balls chair. They do heed warning to sit at your own risk.The only thing that I didnt like was that I ordered an Iced Chai Latte. There was too much ice in mine. I couldnt taste the chai at all. It was too watery.

Expensive for what it is. Good eggs, okay waffle, great fresh OJ. Probably best thought as a coffee shop.

More selection than typical coffee shop. Was looking for oatmeal - and they had it! Woohoo! I didn’t try the big round exercise ball chairs, but they looked interesting.

I read reviews and came in with time to kill. The service was super friendly. I explained I was sticking to a Keto way of eating and she was so helpful! The eggs, cheese, & bacon were cooked fresh and were delicious! The iced coffee was yummy too! Friendly service, great selection of food, and relaxed atmosphere. Two thumbs up!

Nice place to grab a small healthy bite, and a coffee. They make everything from scratch, including the Orange Juice. Fresh squeezed. All food is made to order. Tiny wait but it is worth it

I wish more people would go to this place. The owners are so sweet and their food is delicious. Be sure to support your local businesses people!! I went today and got a croissant sandwich with avocado and bacon on the side and it was so delicious!! Their coffee is good as well and they have a lot of great options for vegan and vegetarian people!!

Wonderful, cozy cafe. The owner is super friendly and cares for each individual customer.Great coffee and a wide selection of breakfast foods—bagels, muffins, waffles, savory sandwiches. Perfect place to hang out on a lazy day.

Stopped in here on a trip from Portland, OR. I had of the best breakfast sandwiches Ive ever had, in any city Ive visited. Great coffee too.

Nice space, people and food selections. Always in for the Nitro coffee :) I would suggest the Barristas not to overheat their milk when making hot coffee. It waters down the texture and takes out all the sweetness. Other than that its very welcoming

THE SERVICE Definitely the best part of the experience, and earns the price point.

Very cute atmosphere... great service and DELICIOUS fresh juice... breakfast and lunch!!! Highly recommend!

Great atmosphere, staff is super friendly. Spent a couple hours here with a friend while I drank a delicious latte and ate a made-to-order avocado toast. Would definitely go back. Parking-wise, there are several parking meters around and a parking lot that does require you to pay.

Going to this cafe has been my new tradition -- my only regret is that I found it during my last semester at Yale! The egg sandwich is the best cafe breakfast Ive ever had. Everything is fresh, tasty, and at least feels like it is healthy! The music is calming, not too loud, and the baristas and owners are so friendly and helpful. Beyond happy with my experiences there and would highly recommend to any student who wants a fun place to work or to anyone wanting a tasty, light breakfast/lunch/snack!

Food and price were good. I found myself wanting more, so. . . Why 3? It has so much potential I could only see it for its possibilities. . .

Friendly owners, pleasant wooden aesthetic, hearty proportions on the sandwiches.

Just came to see some family and needed to eat, I get kind of hungry in the morning. Went to Cedarhurst... WOW simple menu and the food is amazing. I see myself as a good breakfast cook but this food was better than anything Ive made. Want good breakfast and nice staff go to Cedarhurst!

Love this place, been here many times over the years. By far the best bagels I’ve found in downtown New Haven, and the only coffee shop I know of where you can get healthy unsweetened yogurt and such. Good sandwiches and avocado toast too.

Support the wonderful local eateries like this hidden gem! Smoothies and coffee specialties are amazing, food is healthy and delish... interesting artwork displays from local artists... wonderfully gracious hosts, Teri & Tom... fabulous customer service...and... you just might be surprised with a yummy cookie treat from Teri!

Best almond milk latte around. Food and coffee is consistently great! I was on vacation for a week and went to this cute little cafe for coffee every morning. The yoga ball chairs are great to sit on and do work and the staff are friendly with a good attitude and great ambiance in the cafe. Would recommend and go again whenever I am in the area.

Yoga ball chairs, a happy thought wall, a perfectly made vanilla spice latte, and beautiful avocado toast. A perfect place to grab breakfast with the main squeeze after staying in the Omni. 5* experience, the cafe and the date. Best of luck to the cafe from two local Coloradoans. Sincerely, Sass A. Frass

This place is amazing! The food is delicious (highly recommend the avocado toast and a Belgian waffle for a meal for two), and they have a nice selection of caffeinated drinks as well as smoothies. Cute atmosphere with a wide array of seating options.

Its clear that no one actually knows what they are doing by the type of questions they ask. Botched orders, luke warm lattes, and horrible service. Its like it used to be a true mom-and-pop place that was bought out by a richer family who just wants to keep making money. No passion or love for coffee. They probably get their ingredients from Costco.Good location though, decent atmosphere, and diverse (but expensive) menu gives this place 1 star.

Love this little out of the way cafe. Clean bathrooms, friendly customer service, good selection. Its a little far from the Yale part of New Haven but I suspect that may be what makes it so special. 😏

Avocado toast was great, but their “paleo” waffle with fruits and cream had sugary whipped cream come with it. For a family that has special diets because of special needs, this was disappointing. Coffee was also sub-par. If you are looking for excellent coffee, then there are many other awesome establishments in New Haven.

A bit crowded. Clearly a popular place. The eggs were not quite done and runny even though they were scrambled, the bacon was too done and dried out. Atmosphere was nice and I enjoyed resting there with my friends. Tea was perfect.

Pretty good place to sit quietly with a laptop. A lot of options for fresh juice, fancy coffee and non dairy milk options. The kale chips were pretty tasty and I got a lot of them with my sandwich.

What a hidden gem! Excellent breakfast and lunch options. Can eat inside with refurbished wood tables and options of exercise ball chairs, or eat outside. Great service, healthy options, and fair prices. My new favorite breakfast in new haven

Great coffee fun atmosphere and surprisingly awesome food. We were really impressed all around. It had a really nice vibe and we enjoyed working here most of the afternoon

Best London Fog ever! Seriously it is amazing. Well done 👏🏾👏🏾

Cedarhurst is one of my favorite places to study/work in New Haven. Great ambiance and great coffee! A little overpriced, in my opinion, but worth it. The avocado toast is also a must-try.

Delicious sandwiches and all day breakfast. Lots of delicious tea and coffee/latte options. They put love and care into each item they make!

Literally amazing. Food is slow but that’s because it’s cooked fresh! Owners were super sweet

Nice place, Trendy and a bit expensive. Went on a Sunday explicitly to get a smoothie. It was good and the fact that they were open and open early made my decision for me. About the only place I could find. Tables and window BALLS to sit on at a counter. They have coffee and some bakery items but I didnt se (or ask) for any other food items. Our 2 large 20oz non organic smoothies were just about $20 bucks. Not outrageous but a buck or so more then I thought it should be for the price. We ordered off the bear and didnt do add ins or anything special. Very quiet place to start an early Sunday morning . Cashier and makers we friendly but casually so and no interested in any expanded conversation

So last week i went in and it was wayy too crowded for such a small environment, the staff didn’t seem to care much for customers, they kept ignoring and ignoring, me and my friend were a bit impatient. I ordered a “tropical” smoothie, the #3 i think and it was suppose to have all of these fruits in it and it looked good then when i got it, it took about 25 minutes just for a smoothie and it wasn’t even worth the wait. It tasted watery, it was bland, i don’t even think they put what they said it was suppose to be, all i tasted was banana and water, and it was pricey. i threw it out, what a waste of money i don’t recommend this place for quality food or just to get something quick and eat or even sit down in peace for how crowded it is. But i give it an extra star just because it has vegan options

This is a great New Haven spot thats walking distance from downtown but away from the crowds. Its easy to relax, study for a bit, or crack open a book. Theres free wifi, and the coffee has always been good.

Great dark chocolate mocha and nitro cold brew. Quality coffee for quality prices.They have a good amount of seating, definitely could be a nice spot to study or do some work.

Do not get the açaí bowls here they come out as soup and usually they should come thick with granola and I did not get either of those. Usually I am full when I finish one and I am still starving because it was very small. Also there is supposed to be a lot of fruit and there was very little.

Minutes before having our food unceremoniously and wordlessly dropped in front of us, we saw the Belgian waffles with chocolate chips pass us on its way to a predictably unenthusiastic patron. Said dish was literal in its description: a simple waffle with store bought chocolate chips dumped on top. The waffles themselves probably are store bought as well, for how difficult is it to just bake them into the f$&@ing waffle. It was a culinary feat to behold.Then our food arrives. If you ever wondered what poor quality hamburger or sandwich toppings would taste like rolled into a wrap, dry without the hint of sauce or ingenuity, then wonder no more. And let me be clear, I’m talking about lettuce, tomato, onions and a couple of cucumbers fashioned as though they just fell out of a premade bag of salad, clumsily wrapped onto a little plate of disappointment.The egg salad Croissant, upon ordering, we were told “We don’t have any croissants.” Then a pause. “....um, is there anything else we can have egg salad on?” Getting it on an English muffin seemed a good substitute. Taking the top off the sandwich, nothing in there but egg salad. Super. No salt & pepper, no pickle. Nothing. It’s what one would expect if they were having egg salad sandwich day in a penitentiary. Luckily we ordered the wrap which had all the sandwich toppings ready to be dispersed.Oh. Lastly we also ordered a bag of chips. They delivered a bag of Ruffles. Ruffles? F$@& you Cedarhurst. And no. I will not leave my dishes by the garbage can.

Egg sandwich is amazing. Friendly staff and great food. A++++ Highly Recommended

Came here with my main girl Sass A. Frass in search of caffeine. We were delighted to discover the space was pleasantly humming with patrons, and despite a line we were served expediently. The latte was on point 👌, and the coffee was aromatic and smooth as an Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. We enjoyed the oatmeal with fruit and avacado toast so much, we are it all! Will come again another day to relive bliss 🥰.

A cute shop to drink and do some work in.I only stopped by to get their nitro brew so I wasnt able to enjoy their work spots and cool bouncy ball chairs.The nitro brew wasnt outstanding but it wasnt horrible either. It was a well balanced iced coffee and not acidic at all which is a plus!If you have work to do, this place seems like a quiet place and everyone around were doing their work. Its pretty small but they have plenty of tables.

Absolutely adore this place. Great breakfast food, fresh squeezed fruit juice and really good coffee. Plus they are pet friendly!

Beautiful little bfast and lunch place on the edge of the metro area. Be prepared to pay around $10 for bfast and the laquered wood floors are awfully loud paired with metal chairs. Otherwise a great find for early mornings!!

Nice chill atmosphere, friendly staff, and free WiFi. Food was delicious. 10/10 would recommend.

Great food selection for vegetarians, OK for meat-eaters. Quality excellent. Comfortable atmosphere.

My wrap was lettuce than chicken. cool venue but service under par.I return 2 years later and conquer that this place is just 3 stars. I want it to be so much more but it’s just nothing to write home about

Laid-back, pet-friendly cafe popular with the Ninth Square crowd. Great all-day breakfast menu. Only place in town with yoga ball seating!

Best smoothie 😋Good breakfast! very nice people with a big smile.The best place to start your day👍

My belgium waffle was great; the bread on bacon egg and cheese was gross.

FREE REFILLS on coffee. Great food. Pet friendly. Friendly staff. Great environment for studying/working.

Worst experience ever. $7.00 egg, bacon croissant sandwich. Egg- microwaved, bacon-microwaved, croissant-not toasted. I was brought the sandwich and noticed it was not toasted, no big deal. I asked kindly would you toast this for me please, with the toaster in sight she took my sandwich to the microwave and nuked it. The sandwich obviously became chewy, rubbery, and soggy. Service was not hospitable, and chairs were extremely uncomfortable. Coffee was abysmal and bland, I have never written a review before and probably wont ever again. But this experience was worth the moment to let people know not to waist your money here.

Great spot for coffee and breakfast, consistently great!

The food is very good but the woman who took my order was not very pleasant, maybe she was just having a bad day. Cant say I would go back because of that but the food is definitely good

This is one of those places that some people will completely ignore because its WAY too expensive for the mediocre sandwich theyll give you. The fact that it takes them 16 (and we timed it) minutes to make a coffee only encourages these people to stay away. On the other hand, some people will have about this place for having Paleo and vegan food, the best coffee in town, and an amazing staff that makes the food and coffe worth the price and the wait. Deciding if you like this place is as easy as deciding which kind of person you are.

Nice atmosphere. Good service, coffee & food.

Slow service. Decent nitro.Everything about the service seemed like the peak of inefficiency. The woman taking orders seemed to be more concerned with making espresso drinks than taking the orders for the line going out the door. The other employees meandered around their jobs without any sense of urgency conserving how many orders they were supposed to be handling.Could see why this is a popular spot. But with service like this, I wont be coming again anytime soon.

A great coffee shop and care. Excellent service, in a casual and nicely acoutered space.

Great place for a quick bite and quaint cafe setting for studying or catching up with friends

Great coffee shop come here every morning to get my coffee and they always get it perfect!

Glad to walk in and discover this place. They have smoothies and juices too! Though the wait time for food was a little long. I got the banana and nutella waffle, thinking it would just be a drizzle of nutella over the top.... boy was I wrong, there was nutella slathered on and made it hard to eat all of it. Good for nutella lovers, I suppose, but just not what I was expecting! I would come back and try something else.

Love the egg sandwich; fits best with extra bacon and avocado!

Clean place with great egg sandwich on amazing 🍞 Something for everyone. Over size Biscottis and great acai bowls

Friendly stuff!!A great bacon eggs and cheese...yum!

My girlfriends waffle was one of the best Ive ever tried. My egg sandwich was meh (more cheese than egg and too greasy). Iced Americano was also meh (cup full of ice).

Cute coffee shop with good menu options

I like it here. Good clean food, nice environment, friendly service and a good way to kill some time and unwind.

Jenniffer is the best! Love this cafe

Great atmosphere, pretty affordable and nice.

Great coffeeshop to work in. Friendly staff, wide variety of drinks and food.

One of the meat parm sub I have ever had. Very cheap. Great atmosphere to read/ chill

Great place, good food great coffee, and the service is awesome

Decent and cozy little cafe. Was happy with the waffles, coffee was ok but not great.

The space is cute but nothing I’ve had has been worth the price or wait time.

Good food, great selection of smoothies & coffees. Nice, casual atmosphere, but it can get noisy!

This cafe might be dog friendly but it is not dog responsible, or citizen responsible, I live in the crown street area so I pass this Lawbreaking cafe ( see city ordinance 7-5 about nuisance animals) and was almost bitten twice by the customers dogs which happen to be on a short lease under their chair or table. I reported this to the manager, and she said that sincethis is as dog friendly cafe their is nothing that she can do because the dog owners are the bulk of her business. She said that it was up to the dogs owner to control their dogs, even though the customers were eating and drinking their products and sitting at the tables that they provide. I suggested that the cafe post signs to inform the dog owners and the public of this danger, she said their is nothing she can do, and as I was walking out, she said the dogs should bite you the next time. This is absolutely the rudest, nastiest most inhumane person I ever met, and she has no business serving the public. Ive inquired about this matter with several officials to resolve this extremely important Lawbreaking issue!
