Best Video Coffee Bar

1842 Whitney Ave, Hamden, CT

★★★★★4.5(15 Google reviews)

Crema's Take

Best Video Coffee Bar is a quirky community hub that pairs exceptional coffee with an impressive curated video collection—think European and American films you won't find elsewhere—making it feel more like a friend's living room than a typical café. Beyond great coffee and pastries, it's genuinely alive with local culture, hosting live music, poetry readings, and film marathons that draw a geeky, creative crowd who linger happily over wifi or settle in for the next show. It's the kind of place where the atmosphere is as carefully crafted as the drinks, and regulars keep coming back for both the coffee phenomenal and the genuine sense of community.

Very lovely atmosphere with a nice selection of flavors! They’re one of my favorite places to stop by whenever I’m in Hamden.

I didn't really get food here, but as a place to hang out and enjoy local music it's great. Having some baked goods or something premade to nosh on during a show wouldn't be a bad idea. Add on awesome Willoughby's Coffee and a chill, unpretentious environment and you have a gem. How have I been sleeping on this place for so long??

Unique video store, lots of films to check out, majority European and American films.I would recommend just getting coffee/tea from the bar, I ordered a lemonade but realized it is just from a carton, not freshly made. Not worth paying $4 for.

I'm a bit of a geek, so this is my ķind of place. They have soooo many movies. But they also host events and marathons, live music, poetry readings, and more. They are very active in the community and just a great place!
