The Loaded Goat Coffee Company
64 Church St, Hamden, CT
Crema's Take
“The Loaded Goat pulls off that rare balance of being both a quick caffeine stop and a destination worth lingering in, with baristas who craft genuinely creative seasonal drinks like their memorable smoked pear chai latte and pistachio cold foam cold brew. The cozy, festive atmosphere—complete with thoughtful holiday decorations—makes it feel less like a transaction and more like stepping into a welcoming gathering space where coffee quality actually matches the warm vibe. Just watch the pour sizes on their hot chocolate, but their espresso-focused menu and imaginative drink specials are where this place really shines.”

I just spent $5 on a small hot cocoa for it to be not even half full. I thought the cup felt a little light but once I got to my car I was SO disappointed. I won’t be going back.
Love coffee shops and this is a great coffee shop! Let me say that this place is popular. Busy on a weekend, but didn’t have to wait long. Line moved quickly and coffee was AMAZING! Ordered an Americana with a shot of hazelnut and was very happy. Nice comfortable atmosphere and decor. Would definitely recommend and will be returning when in the area. A+
Friend and I went to have a morning coffee and chat. It was still decorated for Christmas and it was like coming into a Christmas wonderland! If you love when places decorate for the holidays, this place is for you! My friend had an iced caramel oatmilk latte and I got the spiced vanilla oatmilk latte from the specials. They were just sweet enough and the drinks weren’t bitter or too strong. They had cute logo flannels, hoodies, hats, stress balls, and lanyards. There were also crotched itsels for sale. Definitely going to go back soon and going to try a pastry, too!
The Loaded Goat is such a wonderful coffee shop! The coffees and all their drinks are amazing, creative and delicious. In the fall they had a smoked pear Chai latte that was SO good and I hope they bring it back. The shop is so cozy with a fireplace sofas and comfy chairs. It's decked out with a plethora of skeletons at Halloween and no shortage of cheer forbthebholidays with a beautiful Christmas tree and plenty of lights. The only problem is that it's hard to get a seat in the fireplace area because its so popular. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!
Cozy atmosphere and friendly barista. The September special — caramel cold brew with pistachio cold foam — is tasty, but I get more vanilla than nutty flavor
