Bread & Chocolate
2457 Whitney Ave, Hamden, CT
Crema's Take
“This family-owned bakery in Hamden excels at what it does best: gorgeous, fresh-baked bread and pastries paired with thoughtfully made coffee drinks in a genuinely welcoming atmosphere that keeps regulars coming back. While you'll find the expected specialty drinks and cold brew here, it's really the combination of exceptional baked goods, a slow-paced vibe perfect for lingering, and staff who clearly care about their community that makes this spot special. Just note that the space has some slippery floors, so take your time when you visit.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, good cold brew. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Opens early. Family friendly.
