Willoughby's Coffee & Tea
Corner Grove, New Haven, CT
Crema's Take
“This New Haven institution has been roasting small batches since 1985, and regulars rave about their smooth cold brew and creative seasonal drinks like the beloved blackberry hot cocoa that tastes like winter dessert in a cup. The espresso-focused menu shines with pour overs and signature creative drinks, while the corner location with its cute decorations makes it a solid spot for lingering over coffee and pastries, though some wish the consistency matched their impressive bean selection.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too, good cold brew. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.
