24 Best Coffee Shops near Centerbrook

“I've been getting my coffee from Deep River Roasters for years now, I used to roast my own or have it shipped from assorted roasters around the country. As a pretty big "coffee geek", I can say after trying everyone in CT that I have found, and quite a few places overseas, that there is no place I would rather get my coffee from. You're not going to find anyone around here with fresher roasted beans, or more care put into them. Fantastic coffee and fantastic people, who will certainly go out of their way to make sure you enjoy your coffee. Do yourself a favor and go now! Unless you're too far away, then check their website, because they also ship their beans!Parking: Huge parking lot at the Witch Hazel Works building.“

“Go...taste some of the best cheese selections this side of the Atlantic . Let the wonderful owners suggest something , but don't stop there...browse the chocolates and pastas, the jams and ready to bake pies, ice cream and so much more...like sourdough and baguetts. It is a Hidden gem .“

“Great group of people on all shifts- They start to know your name and your coffee makings! Cudos for you 4 & 5 am folks!!!Parking: In and out Plath a lot of call ahead pic up. Seating is designed for Covid & spacing so is outsideKid-friendliness: In our small towns eventually everyone knows everyone so it a village raising our children here-Wheelchair accessibility: Auto door and spacious area for bathroom as wetas maintains line ordering.“

“A very cozy and a little kooky but in a very endearing way. i had the Et Tu Bruno Wrap (chicken caesar) and it was very good i would definitely get it again. my wife got the Tomcat Turkey sandwich (think thanksgiving meal between bread) and we both LOVED it. we both will be back and are excited to try more of what they have on the menu.“

“I am not from this area, but I stumbled upon this little coffee shop in my travels. I was warmly greeted, and they took my order immediately (this was 11am so not a rush hour for a coffee shop) and they made me one of the best lattes I've ever had. Had great flavor, and was nice and hot. About the same price point as Starbucks, but worth every penny to support a local shop. I would recommend a stop here!“

“Cozy brunch of delectable, artfully plated French-inspired egg-related dishes, served piping hot by friendly and efficient staff. Good portion size and fair prices. We perused the French cuisine items for sale along the walls after eating. Also bought pastries and bread fresh from the OUTSTANDING bakery at the heart of the offerings. A Francophile's paradise! We'll DEFINITELY go back!“

“A non-descript shop that shares the building with an electronics repair store. Felt like going back in time! Went late morning on a weekday in mid-February. They were out of our favorites so had to settle for for other limited options. Service was OK but the inside could use a lot of work. It didn't feel dirty, but didn't feel clean either. Donuts were $2 each and decent. Definitely larger and better than DD. No oily or chemical taste, and cooked to a nice crisp. Filling was tasty, but not abundant and there was none in my first few bites.“

“Was traveling for work and stopped at this adorable little shop with a great purpose. The employees were warm and welcoming. There is plenty of room to work, enjoy time with family and friends, or eat. The ambiance is beautiful with lots of plants, activities, and great lighting. The cappuccino and bagel I ordered were both delicious!“

“Adorable shop with classic and unique flavors based on the season, all so creamy and delicious! You cannot go wrong here, and they offer ice cream flights, loaded sundaes, and large milkshakes, all for very reasonable pricing alongside classic cup/cone options. Friendly staff“

“Really liked the name of this place, decided to check it out. Small little breakfast/lunch place. A lot of selections. Price is fair. Cash only. There is seating outside and on table with 2 chairs inside.This is more of a grab and go type of place for sandwiches. I had the ice coffee and was decent.“

“One of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had!! Big menu with creative options. Customer service was excellent and the prices were very affordable. I highly recommend! I'll definitely be back again soon. Great location in downtown Chester.“

“I was in here to poke around to Pick up a few little things for stocking stuffers. Lots of old fashioned candy I thought I'd order a couple sandwiches to go seeing it was getting close to Dinner time . I'm so very glad I did! I got a Rueben with Pastrami on a hard roll and a Black Forest Ham with lettuce and tomato, cheese on a hard roll. Best sandwiches we had in a long time. The service there was OUTSTANDING. Such very nice people. I haven't been here in a long time, but I'll be back for sure. The selection of sandwiches is great and they also have soups and many other things in the deli too. If you get a chance stop by you will be very pleased“

“In the charming downtown of Essex, CT is a little coffee shop located across the street from the historic Griswold Inn.The coffee quality is exceptional here. With beans from local coffee roasters you really can’t ask for more.The staff are very accommodating, and the cafe clean.This spot is truly a hidden gem if you haven’t discovered it yet, I’d recommend moving it to the top of your list!“

“My wife and I headed to Old Saybrook for Sunday breakfast. There are many options in the center, and this little place caught our eye - so we gave it a whirl, and we were not disappointed! The Nutty Joe Coffee ☕ is off the chain stupid delicious ?; we could drink cup after cup after cup... and still want another cup! I had a bacon, egg, and cheese on a bagel w hot sauce - spot on. My wife had perfectly poached eggs and a delicious banana muffin... no complaints. The gentleman working the grill was fantastic, and sitting outside was just the topper to our wonderful experience. If you haven't been, get there; you will not be disappointed.“

“The coffee/espresso is really good and they have lots of cool options. I got the Aztec coffee which she explained to me was hot cocoa coffee and it was delicious! My boyfriend got the s’mores coffee and was also a big fan. They also have some awesome soda options and a cute atmosphere. The one downside is it’s a little on the expensive end, but worth a try for sure!“

“There’s such a variety of yummy treats at Essex Chocolates! I always find something to enjoy for myself or a gift to buy for a special occasion. They have a nice range of items from homemade to name brands to novelty. The handicap entrance is next to Scotch Plains Tavern; the entrance just outside the chocolate shop has a few steps. Plenty of parking on both sides. Check out the local handmade gifts or just stop in for a beverage or ice cream!“

“I had some business to attend to in the area and didn't want to stay in a mediocre motel. The James Pharmacy was absolutely perfect! Monica was our liaison, and she was absolutely fabulous. Everything we needed was tended to. The rooms are beautiful. The restaurant downstairs, everything you would want. It is well appointed, clean, and quiet. The only thing I would warn is that the stairs are pretty treacherous. It would be very difficult if you have mobility her balance issues. I would 100% recommend people stay here.“

“If you read any reviews, read this one. I'm here all the time. I often work in a store in the same plaza, so I've seen them on their good days, and their bad days. But even on their worst days, this dunkin is STILL the best. I've lived and worked all around the state and regulared Colchester dunkins, Uncasville dunkins, hartford area dunkins. even as far out as derby dunkins. no dunkin matches this dunkin. The sandwich guy is 10/10, give him a raise. and the guy behind the counter is the perfect, level-headed person you need running an establishment like that. he takes a busy floor and makes it look slow and easy to manage, just by staying calm and operating at peak capacity. Ive also worked at dunkins throughout my younger life and i know how both easy and hard it is to do that job. my only complaint is that I'm unable to tip them. I hope you're paying them higher than Dunkins minimum if you're gonna do that, owners. because for the best dunkin employees to not be at a dunkin where they could get tipped, just tells me they should consider taking their excellent service skills to a casino dunkin, where they have the chance to make WAY more.“

“We LOVE Olive Oyl’s. In the 20 years we’ve lived in Tri-town, it’s our family go to at least once on the weekends. When the kids are home for school breaks throughout the year they frequent Olive Oyl’s several times a week. We love the vibe, the food, location, and especially Kevin and Jen! We are lucky to have such a great place so close to home!“

“Love this Dunkin! We always stop in on our road trips and they insist on my dog coming inside for a pup cup. Julie gives my dog all the love and it is so cute❤️Fabulous service from a fabulous staff. Oh and A+ for cleanliness in the bathrooms!“

“Unfortunately, because of the bridge situation I can only visit on Thursday and Friday mornings and weekends. I would usually go there every weekday morning. I normally use the app and go inside to pick up my order. It saves me time, and everyone is always very pleasant and attentive. Anyway, some mornings like today they are short staffed, and I have to get on the drive through line. I don't know this until I arrive, park and get out of my car and walk to the doors to find they are locked. I can't cancel the order at this point, so I have to get on the drive through line. By then I have lost my place in line by three or more cars, and my order is cold. Please can you guys at least put one of those small plastic signs in the lot so that I know not to park and waste even more time. I have a one-hour drive ahead of me, so time is important to me. Better yet, why not install a pass-through box, so pick-up orders can be accessed even if the doors are locked. I spend thousands of dollars at Dunkin, and most of them at this branch. It is my go-to place for coffee and bagels. Love it...well most days anyway..“

“I pulled into a Dunkin Donuts right off of 95 early on a Sunday morning March 11, 2018. I had started my trip back to Virginia after an Emergency visit to my mom at the Middlesex Hospital. A dummy light on my dashboard indicated I had low tire pressure. The Toyota Dealership next door to the Dunkin was Closed. I had not had breakfast yet so I sought out the Dunkin. The employees there were THE BEST. While this very personable young lady took my order, she listened to my troub“

“Almost always has wonderful baristas working with lovely costumer service. The only downside is that if you mobile order and there is food in your order, they forget about that food item 9/10 times. But they are always happy to make it for you and offer to compensate you for the extra wait. So in all it’s one of the best Dunkin’s so go to around here!“
