Fabi's Restaurant & Coffee Shop

Crema's Take
“Fabi's brings authentic Puerto Rican warmth to New Haven with a genuine neighborhood vibe that keeps locals and road-trippers coming back for the convivial atmosphere and leisurely pace. While the kitchen can be inconsistent with execution, the outdoor seating, welcoming service, and nostalgic homestyle energy make it a worthwhile stop if you're looking for that island escape without leaving Connecticut.”

PR vibes inside. Food was mid-I wanted it to be better. Got mofongo but it was a weird looking. greasy, bland, ball shaped situation. Pernil was lacking sabor and carne de cerda frita cooked too hard to chew. But their pastries, all things guayaba were on point, quesitos, pastelillos, tornillos. Alcapurria was very good too. Prices don’t match the taste of the food, when you pay more you expect more. I would come back for their pastries.
Pit stop in New Haven Ct. For lunch. Found this great place to eat. Food was great, outdoor seating, weather was nice and all. I look for places like this on my motorcycle road trips. You won't be disappointed if you go here trust me. I forget the name of this dish but its like a lasagna made with plantains.
This is Heaven in New Haven. Extraordinary taste that feels just like home. If you are in the area it is a MUST place to stop and get some authentic delicious puertorican 🇵🇷 food. You will love it!
I ordered the mofongo and it was very buttery (I would press down and a lot of butter would come out). I couldn’t really appreciate the flavor of the monfongo because the butter taste was very overwhelming. The chicken that came with it was delicious. The service was very nice, it’s a very cute place.
The place and the service were very very good and that is the reason why this review is 4 stars and not less; unfortunately the food was very disappointing to our party of 3. We had the tripleta sandwiches and the papa locas and they were just not up to par. If the food betters this place can be a 5 star spot! The decorations and place have character and you can tell there is plenty of love put into it. I hope to update my review in the future with a 5 star review if the food gets better.
