Crema's Take

Cedarhurst Cafe is a genuine neighborhood gem where espresso-focused drinks and thoughtfully made breakfast sandwiches (that bacon, egg and cheese is apparently legendary) meet a sun-drenched, art-filled space that feels like a friend's living room. The mom-and-pop energy here is real—you'll find locals lingering over their London Fogs and creative specialty drinks, working at high-top or window tables, and genuinely enjoying being there, even if the tab runs a bit high for New Haven. It's the kind of place where the coffee tastes like someone actually cares, the pastries feel homemade, and the casual, unhurried vibe makes it worth the price.

Greatly overpriced food and drinks. You'll pay about $40 here for two coffees and breakfast sandwiches, which is often brought out by a server who seems like she can't be bother and is doing you a favor by bringing out the food you pay for. I used to love this place, but the huge price increases just made it an unpleasant experience when I could pay much less elsewhere and feel much more welcomed.

This has to be the most underrated coffee shop in New Haven. Food and coffee is great and taste like a home cooked meal. My boyfriend claims this is the best bacon egg and cheese sandwich he’s had. Super sweet people and just all around a great place for breakfast/lunch etc.

Wonderful. This place is a must!! Not busy on a Wednesday morning. Ordered two egg sandwiches adding bacon to both, one on English muffin and one on croissant. Sandwiches perfectly made. London Fog with one pump lavender, finely a cup of tea that is HOT not luke warm. Could not really taste the lavender but still good. Lady taking order acted as though she had never done anything like this and it was crazy. Daughter got ice vanilla latte with cold foam on top. She said it’s the best she’s had in town as of now. As I was walking around the counter lady said can I help you with something. It was slightly off putting like I could not look around at everything. Maybe she thought I was lost?. Women who called our order and handed it to us was very pleasant. Definitely spot in here for a yummy start to your day.

Incredible vibes. I personally need to be in a cute space to do work and Cedarhurst fill the bill. Tons of natural sunlight and local art. Mix of high tops, low-tops, window facing and center tables. Comfortable chairs. I think it was designed perfectly. There was music and other people working but it was peaceful enough to focus easily. I got a tea latte and a smoothie, both were just ok. Low, fair prices. Wifi and bathrooms for customers. They have tea/coffee mugs! (I hate to go cups)
