Reviews
Great quaint cafe with a very relaxed vibe. The lighting is pleasantly dim, music is played at a volume that's easy to tune out and focus on whatever you want to work on. Definitely a sit down and wind down type of cafe. The one worker is able to handle everything efficiently and is super helpful and laidback. The açaí bowl is definitely one of the best I've had. Perfect blend of the ingredients and it simply tasted great. The chai latte was okay but I think that's my fault bc I asked for an oat alternative for the milk.
We go to a lot of cafes and still haven't found anywhere better than Coffee Pedaler. We've been on a mission to find a better place in CT and this remains as our favorite. The owner is super knowledgeable and is very down to earth and has given us a lot of information on brewing at home.
Stopped by for a quick coffee experience. Glad New Haven has a place focusing on quality coffee. I got an oat honey cappuccino which admittedly was good ( thought I've had better). They have a large list of pour overs for you to try and those were pretty tasty. There's a charming outdoor seating space and a patio to do some reading, soak in the sun. It's a quiet area so nothing too rowdy. Lots of little tables inside too so good place to catch up with a friend. The service was super nice. Would come back.
Stopped in for a quick coffee prior to us going to another restaurant. I had the best chai latte of my life. I did add cinnamon and subbed oat milk. It's definitely a great addition to the Yale community. Almost every seat was taken with someone working on some version of a MAC book. There is a parking lot across the street that's $1 for an hour so it's convenient. I really think they should expand. It was a Saturday at 3pm and it was packed like a library before finals. I get it if all of their coffee products are as good as my chi.
Little local cafe joint. Very vibey. I had the lemon olive oil cake with a Kenya pour over. Great combo and great coffee. Cool place to sit and hang out.
