Ground Up Coffee
2784 Whitney Ave, New Haven, CT
Crema's Take
“Tucked inside East Rock Market, Ground Up Coffee feels like the neighborhood's living room, complete with free board games and a barista named Kevin who actually remembers regulars' orders. Their rotating specialty drinks like the Strawberry Milk Latte show real creativity, and the space is generously appointed with ample seating and solid wifi—just come prepared with your own outlet strategy. It's the kind of place where you can settle in for hours, whether you're working, meeting friends, or just soaking in the warm, design-forward vibe that's made it a genuine community anchor.”

The best! Great service, great space, and even free board games!
Kevin is so personable, and he always remembers my order!
Good coffee, friendly service, clean bathrooms, fast Wi-Fi (156Mbps download 35Mbps upload) and tables and chairs to sit. Only 2 tables have outlets.
Very nice coffee shop addition to East Rock Market!! I got a cappuccino which tasted great. Love the design and aesthetic. There is lots of seating space in East Rock Market so this is a great place if you want to do work or meet with someone and hang out. There are a few pastries available.
I love the convenient East Rock location! I tried the special drink this week which was a Strawberry Milk Latte, it was delicious. They even donated a percentage of the sale to the CT Roller Derby which made it extra sweet. I’m so happy I found this place!
