I was waiting for a ride outside this establishment. Granted I just got off work from a bakery and looked a bit disheveled. The owner I am assuming came outside and started watching me like a hawk. My ride was late so I decided to ease her tension and buy a cup of way overpriced hot chocolate to warm me up. A small for almost four dollars. Not only did she move the tip cup out of my reach she was rude when I asked for simple creamer in my drink. I had ample amount of money on me and showed her such when I paid. I even had to reach over to where the tip cup was placed to make sure her employees got something. The look I got was daggers to my heart. I would not recommend if you are black, Latino or look a certain way to go anywhere near this establishment. This lady is a definite Karen with a capital “K!”
I noticed this establishment deletes reviews they don’t like, so if mine is next I’d be happy to take to social media. The coffee here was good, but the service and overall experience was sincerely disappointing. Myself and a friend stopped here on a long drive hoping to support a local small business. We’re very polite as customers, not the type to make a fuss over bad service or a mistaken order. I was charged for three drinks when I only ordered two, one for myself and a friend. The itemized receipt showed my drink, then a separate charge for the flavor, then my friend’s drink, and a third untitled drink. I thought it was odd to spend $13 on two small coffees but I ignored it, tipped, carried on. While waiting for my drinks I realized after some quick math that two drinks plus flavor charge still didn’t account for the total, the third drink was an anomaly. I pointed it out very nicely to the otherwise indifferent server, I was not rude nor was she, but she insisted there was no extra charge. I explained that as a customer surely I would not know how they charge so would she mind explaining the price breakdown. After having trouble she got backup from another server but they were not able to explain the price either, they both kept insisting that one of my two drinks were flavored so the charge just shows up a few times. I asked why the untitled priced third drink was added to the bill and she said “it wasn’t. I can do it again just to show you.” I remained courteous and smiled and agreed. The server began entering my order as a new order to prove it, but then questioned the other server as to what happened because when done correctly, my order did not total the amount that I paid. They realized it was a mistake, and the first server had intentionally upcharged me - that was why she kept insisting from the start that I didn’t understand when in fact i understood perfectly well and just didn’t want to be rude.I’m giving this place two stars because after all that I did still think the drinks were made well. I only hope the staff learns to extend the same courtesy and service to their customers that appear to be non-white; not only are we paying customers, we’re more likely to spend more money on local establishments in support of the community. Do better.
This is a charming smaller coffee shop. Good atmosphere. Kind employees. Try their iced lattes.
Always clean, friendly and relaxing plus good food & great beverages. My special treat to me place. Go and enjoy 😉.
I didn’t catch the names of the girls working, but it was two girls working around noon on April 29th, and they were sooo nice. I asked them to just surprise me with a drink because I couldn’t pick and they made me a great coffee and made sure I didn’t have any allergies or restrictions. Such pleasant atmosphere and you truly won’t find that in many places, especially in Waterbury. Such nice girls!!! Hope the company treats them right ! Great coffee shop
Absolutely great!if you enjoy a wide selection of expertly crafted flavored iced and hot coffee, I suggest you give Cheshire coffee a visit.You will not be disappointed! French toast flavored iced coffee..... taste bud explosion!!!
My Morning stop for my coffee and a little breakfast sandwich or muffin before I go into work. Love this place and the friendly staff.
Friendly service great product low prices
Tasty coffee. Lots of great flavor options
Very nice place coffee was wonderful
This place makes the best peanutbutter, mocha frappe. We drove there just for that.
Lovely place, their drinks and snack selections are always top tier. I docked a star, though, for how dine-in is operating at this location.Stopping by for my latte, I saw that every table was full - big groups of families and friends - yet only ONE patron had their mask on out of what looked like 15+ people in the shop. It would be one thing if the space was wider and the tables were properly distanced, but that wasn’t the case. I found myself feeling a little uncomfortable & eager to leave.Like everyone else, I too want life to return to “normal” ASAP. I’d rather not wear these masks forever, but in order to get this pandemic to finally chill, we gotta do whatever it takes: masks on, clean hands, distance. I would like to see management and staff enforce this a little better, especially given how tiny this place is on the inside.
Cute coffee shop, gas conversation seating and pastries, muffins as well as specialty coffee.
It was my 1st time here.Very nice staff, very clean place No masks necessary Allelluia!! Keep the normal coming!
Used to be my favorite coffee shop ever but has had a drastic drop in quality over the years.
Friendly staff & great coffee! Nice little shop to sit and catch up on work.
This place is awesome. I love to take my wife there when we want a nice treat
Love everything, but especially their iced lattes and bubble tea!
Its my first visit. Nice staff. Its not too far from me, so I will go again. Im pretty sure its going to earn 5 stars if I can just find a blend I like. You should try it.
They have some nice baked goods and lots of latte flavors. They only have coffee in giant drip batches. They don’t do any pour overs, French press, or anything of the sort that would actually be fresh to order. The amount of flavor degradation that occurs as coffee sits heated at high temps is not good.You can’t try blends other then what they have in giant batches. Unless you’re willing to buy a whole bag of beans you’ve never had.Terrible practices for a local “coffee shop”. More of a latte shop.
Good place...better coffee
Best place to get a latte, they always get my drink right. Even when I switch up my drink, it’s always on point. Dunkin and Starbucks don’t even compare!
Incredible drink choices, I recommend the Honeybee Latte!
The variety of coffee flavors makes this place fantastic. They even offer at least five sugar free syrups unlike Starbucks who only offers one.
My favorite coffee
Very attentive quick good service
Amazing people. Come in almost everyday and the staff is always great. This is my favorite cheshire coffee between the two. Best service ever. =)
I walked in to get a latte, but unfortunately the espresso machine was down. But the young man that helped me suggested a drink, and I was very pleased with his suggestion. Its great to know that the workers are knowledgeable with their products, and are kind enough to offer a remake if it I dont like it. Thank you.
I enjoy coffee of this Cheshire cafe. Its wonderful 👌👍❤🍮
The Past two times I gotten a cappuccino there, well honestly they were not good at all,80% milk/foam and 20% coffee.and apple crumb cake I got was stale, sorry Cheshire coffee Im just being honest .
I enjoy the coffee and food there is good, but they do NOT all wear masks to protect us, owner came in behind counter twice with mask under chin, the young woman at counter had mask under chin and then not at all !!!! I wear my mask to protect them, they could at least wear there mask to protect meI will not be back until pandemic is over
Friendly service and delicious caffeinated beverages... its definitely a place where I treat myself. Also the spinach and cheese croissant is out of this world
This place is right up the street from where I work. It is our coffeehouse of choice. Dunkin and Starbucks just simply cannot compete. The staff is friendly and the coffee and pastries and sandwiches heavenly. I personally recommend the banana caramel latte and a lemon square. Heaven!
Espresso down today. Sad about that as its the reason I came here on a Sunday. Clean and the service is pleasant and fast. Recommend the Christmas blend.
Love it 😘👍
Incredible!! I can’t stop thinking about the hot chocolate I ordered from here, lol! They make everything fresh and the flavors are amazing. I got the white hot chocolate on my first visit—the taste/experience left an imprint on my taste buds. Can’t wait to go back and try other drinks there!Nice place to sit down, enjoy a hot coffee, read the paper, and/or catch up with an old friend/family member. :)
Great local coffee shop.
Love their peanut butter granola cups and coffee!
Quality cafe without the pretentiousness of Starbucks. I usually visit during slower times of day and there is often plenty of seating with ample room for me to bring in a baby stroller and not feel like we are in the way. Ladies room is clean and also large enough to bring the stroller in with me.Staff are friendly and always offer to help me with plates and bringing orders to my table since I am usually juggling my wallet and baby, etc.I recommend the home made granola bars -- they are amazing!
I had a decent experience in the place, it has a well build infrastructure and a calm place, staff were friendly. The Green Tea Latte was OK, not up to Starbucks one, was a tad too sweet though. Couple of things which could be improved are with the number of choices and bagels - more varieties of bagels would be definitely good; also either the bagel or the cream cheese which I got was kept in the refrigerator for few days. Might want to improve on this, it would be a wonderful place to eat if you do the same
Great coffee! Excellent service! They stand behind their products! Their food is outstanding!!! Its one of my favorite places to go to study or just sit with friends and enjoy my coffee or tea, depending what Im in the mood for that day...
They have a variety of drinks. Most seasonal flavors are also available all year long. Not to mention they have great staff. 💜
Delightful! Great ambience, perfect spot to do a little work or meet friends to catch up. Big selection of delicious drinks and treats. Highly recommend!
Ill only go to Cheshire coffee now after the AMAZING experience I had this morning! Hands down the best coffee shop in the state.
Friendly staff, decent quick bites, and solid drinks. I had a macadamia chai latte, which was a new experience but fantastic, Andi tried the coffee which was also great. I do agree with some of the reviews about sweetness - the latte was a tad sweet for my liking, but I can assume thats an easy fix by mentioning it during your order so I wouldnt dock a star based on that.
Great staff, great coffee!
The coffee is so good and the price is the same as paying at D&D but Cheshire coffee is not watered down. The service is wonderful. Very friendly and personable.
Coffee is great, cakes are delicious and staff is friendly. Its nice and quiet but not silent, there is music playing to make the perfect atmosphere yet is not disturbing you. Few comfortable seats near fireplace are the best spots. Not sure if I came right after a messy people or the stuff was not doing their job, but one seat was cover in crumbs.
I was on a bumble date and the girls gave me an out if it got bad and kept an eye on us and I overheard them say oh shes having a great time how cute. What a wonderful staff with incredible drinks. A must to return to.
The BEST homemade granola bars! Great selection of coffee and drinks. Quick sandwiches and wraps too
My go to coffee spot. I love local shops and Cheshire coffee is amazing! I love the selection of tea and the hot cocoa with almond milk is my winter go to!
Just what the area needs. I wont go as far as to say its the east coast Starbucks, but honestly they might be it.
Great location, just like the others. Our coffee was unique and delicious and the baristas were friendly. Well be back in the future!
Friendly staff, but the drinks are too sweet. Mexican hot cocoa tasted mostly of sugar and cinnamon, & thai tea latte tasted mostly of just sugar. Dont be so afraid of spicy or bitter flavors-- let people add their own sugar!
Coffee and coffee cake were excellent. Efficient service and comfortable seating. Passing through on 1-84 and so glad we stopped.
I went to this place multiple times and they always have good food and drinks.
Service and quality are so good here that this has become a pretty much regular stop for us. And lets be honest here, anything that keeps me from having to walk into a Starbucks is going to be an automatic win!
Great atmosphere! Excellent coffee and goodies to eat. Staff is super pleasant also!
Clean, friendly and delicious coffee! Its a great place to relax and enjoy the artwork and atmosphere.
This place has a great atmosphere, friendly servers, and good coffee!
Great place for great coffee. They roast all their coffee themselves. Great coffee choices that change daily.
I just through away a sandwich that I took one bite of because it was that good! My wife through away half a spinach feta pastry thing because the dough was undercooked. Great execution, keep it up!
Such a cute little cafe with great coffee and some nice baked stuff.
Great coffee place. Friendly staff and great coffee. I love the different flavors for their lattes.
Great coffee choices! Warm and inviting. This is a great place for a book club or small meeting.
Always excellent. Today the service was even better. The coffee of course is delicious.
After going to ION Bank a quick coffee and on the road to my doctor at Mid-State.
Always a comfortable atmosphere and great choices to drink for any mood Im in.
Awesome place. Food is fresh and coffee just the way it should be!! I love this place!! 😇❤
Good food, cold brew coffee is great, but terrible latte. It tasted like weak watered down coffee with milk.
We just accidentally found this spot while travelling home to New York. The missus was beside herself enjoying her mint latte, and as I told the young barista, it was the best cup of coffee I had had in 10 years since living in Australia. Highly recommend it, and the service was top notch.
Always super friendly and awesome staff that work here!! This Cheshire coffee I like better than the one in Cheshire by far.
Comfy cozy, great coffee break, etc!
Great choices. Very creative. Helpful staff.
Love the banana caramel frappe and the spinach and feta croissant. A bit pricey but you are paying for great ambiance and a friendly staff🤗
Great coffee!
Amazing coffee. Always look forward to what flavor combinations they have for the season. Great friendly service as well
I love this place. On par with Starbucks. Nice staff
Very pleasant place, coffee is great here.
What a great place to relax and share a Cup of Joe with friends!
Cheshire coffee is always upbeat and great I heard at one point there were coming to southbury I was so happy but then found out something happened and they were not coming. Either way they are consistent and always make great caffeinated drinks. The one in Cheshire is a little hotter when I get my lattes but still great. I hope one day I see them come to southbury can not wait.
Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and good coffee.
Love love love this place! Best green matcha tea Ive had in a while!
Coffee was good and much-needed during my travel. Friendly service too!
Some of the best coffee and sandwiches around. Go her with co workers from time to time and never disappointed.
Love there coffee great place to relax and have meatings.
Nice, relaxing and good food/service
Always super friendly staff. Excellent iced mocha :)
I love this coffee shop. Great food too.
Best coffee in Waterbury, their food options are very nice as well!
Theyre the Best than there is the Rest
Amazing staff everyone is very helpful and very informative of all the different types of beverages. If youve never been or youre still drinking Dunkin Donuts its time to switch over to real coffee and have amazing Baristas take care of you. Youll never go back to drinking Dunkin again.
Awesome gingerbread white mocha latte...with some whipped cream on a cold gloomy day.Whether it be summer or fall...never disappointing !!
Fantastic coffee. The kind of place that a barista would go to get coffee.
The White Mocha Coconut Latte was delicious
