Claire's Corner Copia
1000 Chapel St, New Haven, CT
Crema's Take
“Tucked into New Haven, this vegetarian-friendly corner spot is a breath of fresh air for anyone tired of standard diner fare, with thoughtfully labeled vegan and gluten-free options alongside housemade pasta, pizza, and standout baked goods. The warm, welcoming atmosphere makes it a natural gathering place for Yale visitors and locals alike, though fair warning: the chai latte doesn't quite match the kitchen's other strengths. Order at the counter, clear your own table, and come hungry—the portions are generous and the eggplant parm is genuinely worth the trip.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Family friendly.

This was my first time here as a vegetable and it's such an amazing feeling looking at a menu where all the food is "safe". Everything is also clearly labeled for vegans and gluten free people!
Highly recommend the eggplant parm and baked goods. Highly discourage ordering the chai latte and bread roll that comes with the entrees. There’s a huge menu and it’s perfect for groups with mixed diets.

Anytime we visit family in New Haven area, we make a point of having lunch at Claire's, especially after a night of pizza! Order at the counter, bus your table. Food is fabulous and healthy, portions are large. Tip - salads and soups come with a small loaf of bread, you can…
