Willoughby's Coffee & Tea
550 E Main St, Branford, CT
Crema's Take
“The baristas here actually know their craft and will steer you toward something perfect rather than just ring you up—Olivia and Foley are the kind of staff that make you want to come back. Willoughby's roasts their own beans with serious quality control, so whether you're grabbing a pour over or sitting outside with a matcha, you're getting something noticeably better than chain coffee. The laid-back vibe and killer pastries (seriously, try the lemon poppy seed muffin) make this the kind of place that feels like a local secret.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Parking available.

My first visit and they were very kind and accommodating, coffee was amazing and the barrister made it perfect, she was very kind and helped me decide and made the perfect recommendation! Thank you!
Best coffee roasters in the area and multiple locations exist. This location is laid back and friendly and a little more out of the way. Front counter service is terrific - Olivia and Foley are good people.
Stopped in a coffee and muffin. Both were great, especially the lemon poppy seed muffin. Staff were attentive and friendly. Nice outside seating area as well.
I love this coffee place. They are good tasting, have variety, and have yummy snacks like muffins, cookies, and macarons. They even have decaf versions of the drinks! They're always really nice too.
I don’t know why people don’t get their coffee beans from here. Skip getting from chains or grocery stores, much better quality here and I’m picky about my coffee as a sailor (:
