Crema's Take

“Lotta Studio is a creative hub that treats coffee as a welcome companion rather than the main event, serving thoughtfully sourced espresso from Happiness Project while doubling as an artist-run gallery and event space in Westville. Beyond the excellent coffee and homemade pastries, you're really paying a visit to a living studio where local makers gather, markets pop up, and the ambiance shifts between quiet concentration and community energy depending on the day. It's the kind of place where your cappuccino tastes better because you're surrounded by actual creative work happening around you.”

What to expect

They serve very good coffee from the Happiness Project in downtown New Haven. That's really just the tip of the iceberg however. Beyond that it is a co-working space primarily intended for artists, but they do accept others. It is nice and quiet inside, which was a must for me…
