What customers say

Lovely coffee house with great breakfast and lunch options in downtown New London. I grabbed the Herb Roasted Chicken Sandwich for lunch and it came with Roasted Red Peppers, Baby Spinach, Provolone, and Basil Pesto. It was great meal that definitely hit the spot!

Very fresh tasting authentic food. Mia and Ferdiane were very helpful and hardworking making sure every customer who walked in had a phenomenal experience. I got the muddy water burger and the burger tasted extremely tasteful. Didn’t taste processed which is very surprising to me.

The raspberry crumb cake was a sweet treat for brunch and the dark roast French brewed coffee was smooth and delicious.

★★★★★ — Deanne, 2026-05

A great place to have a sandwich or a salad. The portions are large so you could actually split an order and not go away hungry. I ordered the turkey sandwich and could not finish it. I bet there was close to a half pound of turkey on the sandwich. If you finish your main course there are pastries that look fantastic.
