Delicious coffee, brewed by friendly baristas who know exactly what theyre doing. Good conversation, and good snacks, too. What more could ya want?

I spent an entire day here when I had no AC and my apartment was too hot. It’s such a wonderful space to spend time in with great drinks and staff. There’s a great mix of seating - places to work on laptops, couches, as well as some outdoor space. This all being said, the pastries / baked goods are only okay, but to me the space and drinks make up for that.

Great spot for lounging, hanging out, getting work done, large variety of outdoor/indoor seating. Friendly staff, deliscious pasteries, and beverages. Very pleasant atmosphere :)

Enjoyed a pumpkin spice latte today and a homemade fig bar. Used to have a nicer backyard to sit in but about six trees were recently cut down.... not the fault of this business really since its due to the city working on a trail.

Super cute, super cozy, super relaxing spot to get a latte, with vegan options. We got an oatmilk latte (it was coincidentally my birthday) and I spilled the whole thing on myself by accident, the table, floor, chair (outside) and they were nice enough to make me a new one so I appreciated that. The latte was creamy and delicious. The Vegan Blueberry Muffin was soft and decadent. The Vegan Cinnamon Roll was great too, a little chewier as the dough is supposed to be and nicely glazed. Would definitely come here again to hang out and coffee!

Love the variety of coffee and food offerings. The Nutella latte is a favorite. That they have alcoholic beverages is wonderful to sit outside and enjoy too. It is an eclectic institution of the Elm City that is relaxing yet get for business also. Check it out.

Never disappointed with an afternoon boost from (in my opinion the best tasting Koffee? House in New Haven. Always worth a visit!

Wonderful little niche spot for great coffee and a nice vibe. The workers are very nice and the inside is cozy and welcoming. Coffee is great, but the portion sizes are a tad small for the price which is the sole reason I cannot give Koffee? 5 stars.

Liked the coffee ☕️, interior and the back yard full of the sunlight. Amount of desk lamps telling the story of one of the favorite and comfy places for locals.

When theyve gotten my order correct the food and drinks were great! I ordered in person and the order was fine, but both times I ordered ahead online the orders were wrong... great veg sandwich options.

Great little place to relax and chill. What I liked most was the coffee cocktails. Very off the track place, but if you can find it, youll love it. Free WiFi and I love the outside. Will be coming back for sure when Im in town.

Review №13

The staff is very nice and knowledgeable. I was very excited when I first came here because I could tell it was 2nd wave which is my personal preference for coffee (and the presentation/aesthetic that goes with it). This is an ok location for that style of coffee roasting/preparation.

I have been to Koffee so many times over the last 3 years since I moved to New Haven. They make excellent coffee, have great espresso drinks, and their baked goods are wonderful.

Had a great time working on my schedule here. They have all the nice looking food that they offer, which is important for cafes around Yale. But they dont have ac which is a little rough for the summer. Nice environment, staff makes me feel little rushy. Overall its a nice place to hang with few friends since they dont have large place for dining, but cozy enough!

Review №32

We ordered hot Mocha, they served us hot cappuchino.If you like Starbucks, please dont waste money here. They are nowhere near Starbucks, though the price of Mocha is at par with Starbucks.Referred by a friend, we went there to get the alcohol-coffee blends. But age proof was required, though the friend confirmed that age proof was not required. Dont know why such discrimination happened with us. Very disappointed that we couldnt try the alcohol-coffee blends.

Koffee is a great spot when you need to study, work, meet friends or just read a book. The coffee shop has a great bohemian vibe, awesome wifi and delicious coffee and food. I keep coming back when Im in town.

Not so much of a Hidden Jem, its located walking distance from Yale University where you can spot students, professors chilling and relaxing ... however you can also hear students complaining about select subjects or professors ;)We were able to snag seats at a perfect location but good luck finding a seat here as it can get crowded real fast ...They have food here however very limited quantity and more like snacks and finger foods : Salads looked ok, had various bagles, scones, sandwiches, saw some cookies and croissants as well ...I had the Nutella latte with whip cream, it was delicious !!! However I was told that chai latte (masala) was quiet horrible.I would highly recommend this place ... Cozy spot with great drinks :)

Perfect coffee shop for those who love studying while sipping some drinks! Last week, I was so problematic about my exam, so I decided to go to your shop and take time to sip a cup of coffee while studying. I was amazed by the incredible and fast service that you have. Keep it up! Highly recommended coffee shop! Thankyou so muuuuuuch!!!!

Review №48

Went there based on google pics, was expecting cozy and friendly coffee shop. It is more for students, very progressive msgs everywhere(good for them, but not what I was looking for).Place is not cozy at all, it was cold inside, choice of pastry was not great.The ones they had, were looking tired and not presentable.Place has a great potential but it is not used even for 30%, most definitely needs some makeover.Good selection of cofee drinks. We got Mocha and Americano, no complaints here. I compare to coffee shops in New York and, sorry, but it is very different standart. But may be thats their thing??Coffee was good, but very little chance we come back here to sit and chat

We traveled throughout the northeast on a roadtrip and tried several coffee shops along the way. Koffee? was our favorite. Their lattes are smooth and creamy. Their scones were also pretty good.

Review №51

My favorite coffee shop in New Haven! Converted to window-service only since the pandemic making it even more convenient and accessible. Baristas are super friendly and the coffee is strong. Theres even a little artist park behind the shop that I find quite peaceful when youre in the mood to just sip and chill.

Review №61

I’ve been visiting Koffee almost daily for two years. I don’t simply come back for the great tasting, always perfectly brewed coffee, but I stop here because everyone is so friendly. I’m not saying places I go to are rude or anything like that, but it great to walk up to someone and get a real hello or good morning, with some small talk versus “what can I get you”. Other stuff I love is the variety of drinks, the prices, and the location. All in all a great spot to grab a cup to go or chill.

This place has the best iced coffee Ive ever had. And their muffins are excellent. If they had healthier options (they have yogurt etc. but heavy on the sugar) Id probably come here many times per week.

Review №64

We loved this place. Even having an adult ambiance we all had a great time, they have table games that we actually used with the children and had a good time.The boys had hot cocoa, I had a cortado and wife had tea, all of them really well served and delicious. The cocoa wasnt as sweet and had a great thick texture.Good place to spent time either alone or not.Will Be Back.

Review №65

Interesting little cookies and small snack items, vegan baked snack options.Frozen strawberry lemonade my fav.This is a favorite comfort zone for many in the area. Unique seating to read the paper, catch up with a friend, study, or anything else. The noise level is kept low besides the espresso whirls and such, so it’s perfect to study, relax, etc. coffee with a K try it. It’s not “fancy” if that’s what your seeking but the cozy atmosphere is what keeps me returning.

This is now my favorite coffee shop in all of Connecticut. We tested out a new smoothie drink called Monkey Mocha which is espresso, banana, and chocolate with milk. It was absolutely perfect. The atmosphere was super cozy and felt like a place Id been a thousand times before even on my first visit. The staff is so, so friendly and helpful.

My friends and I stopped in Koffee? on a hot summer afternoon. We enjoyed a variety of cold drinks while sitting at a sidewalk table. I liked the ambiance, drinks, and commitment to sustainable products. This is a great coffee shop Id happily frequent if I lived in the area.

Review №72

Koffee is a solid 4/5. Their sandwiches are _really_ good (my personal favorite being the veggie plowman), and their fruit and veggie catering platters are always high quality. I dont love their dessert platter; personally, I find most of their desserts to taste too manufactured. As for their coffee, it is pretty good. Smooth espresso and quality coffee. The environment is very cozy, but it can be hard to find a seat during busy hours, so try to get there off-peak if you want to sit and enjoy your drink.

Atmosphere was cute and cozy, metered parking outside. Staff was friendly my only problem was with the coffee I order. I got an iced mocha that did not taste like mocha at all, not sure if there espresso in it either. It tasted like burnt iced coffee that I paid 5.50 plus a tip for.

First time going, but when I got there, it was exactly what I was looking for. A nice quiet environment where I can relax and converse with my date, music was not crazy but very calm and conducive to our conversation. Service was excellent. I recommend it and I will be going back.

A cafe that serves good coffee and is nice to hang out in. Their food is also very good, Im a particular fan of the Odd but Good sandwich (Cheese, Honey, and Green Apple on a ciabatta roll, its better than it sounds). In summer consider sitting outside in the patio/garden/yard behind the cafe.

Review №85

Need a cozy and social place to study? Set up alone by the windows (standing desk) or with your small crew around a table or soft chairs. The coffee is great, there are gluten free treats, and you can shift to happy hour bevvies if you are there in the evening. Its a small place, so if its cold or rainy, have a plan b in mind. If its warm though, they have outdoor seating, both in front and in their park space in the back. The live music concert are fabulous. Most of the time the recorded music is pretty good. There are healthy snacks too to go along with the baked goods. And of course the baristas are fabulous.

Nice people, a comfortable place. Several banquettes covered with tons of cushions to stretch out on. The comfy chairs do not have wide enough arms to put a mouse on if you are planning on using a laptop. There are plenty of tables counters and a zillion outlets. Its a little pricey as you might expect in the heart of New Haven. But not exceptionally so, certainly no worse than Starbucks.

Koffee? Is a unique & charming local coffee house that checks for off every box:Delish coffees of various kinds. I personally love skinny lattes.Cozy, casual, chairs & tables of all kinds.Fab pastries, fruit salads, small subs so you can grab & go, or enjoy at a leisurely pace.Interesting changing original artwork by locals.Polite, attentive staff.Been going there regularly since it first opened!

The just plain old coffee was great. Kind of pricey for just coffee in a mug but, good.The place is set up with a few more comfortable chairs in the front but, the back is clearly set up for people to sit and work. Plenty of WiFi a long work counter with individual lights and two long tables. Most people were working or studying. I would go back.

I guess being in the middle of that area made it a very popular place for coffee, its just like any other coffee place . 4 stars for their location and a cozy setting inside. You want a great coffee may be you wont find anything diff here, but you want a nice place to relax and have decent coffee be there.

Review №95

Very nice, cozy coffee shop. Has a very college town vibe. If you come in here on a typical day you will see students, professors, and normal residents going about their lives, which is nice. A bit cramped, but not a problem. Has a nice outdoor area in the back, which is a little unkempt but still pleasant.

Ordered mini muffins and two coffees. Good experience, comfy seats, three muffins: 1. chocolate chip 2. carrot cake 3. poppyseed... all of them were undercooked and therefore soggy and doughy. $2.10 for all 3.Altogether was good experience. Metered parking free if you arrive before 8am.
