Crema's Take

Stone's Throw Coffee & Market is a beloved Wallingford neighborhood gem that doubles as a curated market, serving excellent coffee and tea alongside an thoughtful selection of snacks and light bites in a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. The staff here is notably warm and attentive, the playlist hits just right, and it's the rare late-opening café in the area that works equally well for a quick caffeine grab, focused work session, or unhurried catch-up with friends. Beyond the stellar drinks, what really sets this place apart is its charming blend of specialty café culture and neighborhood gathering spot—complete with wine and beer options—all anchored by an authentic commitment to community.

Decided to try a new cafe and it did not disappoint. From the selection of snackies to the sweet cashiers to the awesome playlist and the bomb coffee. Oh and the atmosphere sitting at one of those high tops! The ceilings are high and the windows are too and it’s just so airy and peaceful! It would be a great place to do some laptop work or writing. Defffffinitely making this spot a staple.

Great staff, wonderful tea and coffee shop. They also serve wine, champagne and beers, a great cafe to work in or to meet up with old or new friends. Only cafe in Wallingford neighborhood open late. In the summertime there is a patio with tea lights and outdoor seating, very cozy and comfortable chairs, but no fireplace yet…it’s on my bingo card for 2026 hopefully. Not a far walk from stoneway or upwards from meridian playground park, which would be a great little day/date idea in the summertime or spring.

EDIT: I really didn't want to have to write this, but unfortunately the actions of MasterCard and Visa targeting the income streams of LGBTQ+ content creators mean that, by being cashless, this coffee house is complicit in discrimination and bigotry. Great coffee, all your coffeehouse favs. They recently got new breakfast sandwiches and I think they're an upgrade. This isn't a budget place, but it is good value for the money. Lots of pastries but their in-house lunch sandwiches are the highlight. I love the chill atmosphere here. It's a good place to decompress and it consistently has a small pax load, which is good for keeping the atmosphere but not so many that it feels rushed or crowded. Come early to get the extra comfy seats, or sit outside at the glazed wood table (once the heat wave ends, of course). The outdoor area is a bit loud because of traffic but that's out of their control, and the 44 trolleybuses are quieter than their diesel counterparts. The most annoying things outside are the trucks. As a result the outdoor area isn't that popular, but I like having the option. Come on Wednesday afternoons for a barista with some very nice music selections, they seem to be from the 60s and 70s, all downbeat. Also I love that tree mural on the wall opposite the entrance. I saw a lot of people working here, and if it were the school year I'd be coming here more often to do my schoolwork. The clientele is generally not too loud, and it's helped by the place having some separation for where they take orders. If you come here and are going to have a loud conversation, as a user, I beg you to go outside. The string lights get pretty at night but they're only open late enough for that effect in the winter. The main users of the outside space seem to be dog owners, as I saw a couple people sit outside with their dog while sipping a bottle of wine. At lunchtime do check out the cooler if you don't want coffee. They have some alcohol, soda, and kombucha. Also some snack selections, which are reasonably priced (but they do have premium snacks). They also have beer and wine on tap. I only saw one barista, and the barista was doing table service as well, but I came at a slow time. Penalized one star for being cashless, which is an equity concern. So not quite 5 stars. Overall: This is a premium coffeehouse with an atmosphere I adore. Also, whoever was picking the tunes on the Wednesday Afternoon I came, you're awesome, I'm just too socially awkward to ask your name lol.

I loved everything about this place. Great casual and welcoming ambience. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Other than coffee, this is also like a mini mart with interesting products. The hot cappuccino with oat milk, oat milk vanilla latte and cortado were all excellent. It's also open till longer which is very nice Will be back for sure
