Great coffee! Also serves a variety of baked goods, soups, sandwiches, and salads. There are several vegan-friendly options. Everything I have ever tried at this cafe has been delicious. Generous servings, fair prices, friendly staff. But there is more to the story. This cafe is part of a small chain of college-town cafes with a mission: “To create vibrant cafes that reflect, improve and inspire our communities.” A percentage of the profits are donated to local charitable organizations, determined by votes of the patrons. Blue State sources and roasts fairly-traded coffees from around the world. Most of the food products come from small suppliers in the area. One caveat: Blue State is adjacent to Yale, and students with laptops pack this place, especially during exam times. If you want a seat, come early in the day when class is in session.

Ahhh... Do you know, how much Europeans and big city kids miss late night coffee shops? No, not all of them, but a lot. I me is just one of that spoiled generation, which love to spend their evening outside, but not drinking alcohol or shaking with a music. I like to sit in the cafe, work on a creative part of my job, read, talk, listen etc. Entire Yale Campus and downtown New Haven area has very few places still open after 9pm, and Blue State Coffee is on the top of my list. Great viriety of coffein and non-financial drinks to match the mood and intentions. Good (for a coffee place) choice of pastry and snacks. Trendy-ish music and generally very nice and interesting crowd.

We have been waiting for a shop that had GOOD espresso for years. New Haven boasts that it has culture, but it certainly has been lacking on coffee culture. The shop is clean, spacious and has a fair assortment of delicious things to eat (mostly pastries but some lunch - soup, sandwiches and wraps). Latte art is consistently good and the team seems to work really well together. They also give 5% of your sale to a cause (that you can vote on). I cannot think of anything else within 60 miles that is even close to as good as this.

Locale selvaggio per chi ama la musica dal vivo e un ambiente semplice e tranquillo. L ingresso costa 5$ quando ci sono i live e di solito iniziano verso le 22.

Usual coffee stop prior to Symphony concerts. We always request decaf since it is always around 7pm. This was third such experience we decided to write it up. Terrible service with terrible staff attitude, almost to the point of racism and maybe ageism. It doesnt match with what this company stands for. Sad!

One of my favorite coffee place in the world. There is a great college atmosphere and I love what they do for the community in terms of social responsibility and local sourcing of supplies. And their coffee - truly the best in the area.

Im a big fan of their egg sandwiches, especially on the cranberry walnut bread. Its also one of the only area coffee shops that can make drinks with almond milk. I highly recommend the almond milk latte.

Still my favorite place to get a coffee or espresso in town. Depending on the time of day, getting a table can be hard, but the coffee is consistently good, and they keep adding to the food options.

Blue State is a great place to work. They have a good wifi connection and plenty of space. Coffee is good, if a bit strong. Snacks are pricey, but the overall atmosphere is well worth it.

Google maps got us to great coffee (and goodies) in a shop that was open late while we were out of town. Now weve been at three times of day & enjoyed three great experiences. Thats a win!

Blue State Coffee is great if you want to wander awkwardly around the nooks of a cafe looking for a seat, trying desperately not to spill a drop of your precious third wave coffee.

Good quality coffee and food is pretty good, but service is veryyyy slow and staff are sometimes rude. Nice atmosphere for studying and coffee but dont come if youre in a hurry.

Much quieter than the York Street outlet, so this was actually one of my favorite spots during midterms or exams. The coffee is on point, and the pastries were great as well!

Staff is friendly, coffee is good if a bit overpriced, but this location is always crowded with Yalies which makes it hard to sit down and enjoy your coffee at the location.

This is my preferred Blue State location in New Haven. Unlike the York street location it is rarely overcrowded. Same great coffee and atmosphere but with room to sit.

Wish they would step their egg game up. Theyre all like precooked egg pancakes re-heated into a dry protein patty. Bagel and pastry game is decent. Coffee game

Great food and a nice unique tea suggestion of blending chamomile with ginger. The barista was quick to suggest though not to let it steep for too long though.

The coffee brought me right back to europe. So delicious. Nothing good comes fast (food wise) so I understood the wait. This is not McDonalds coffee here!

Drinks tasted pretty bad. Tea and smoothies were horrible, cookie was mediocre. Overpriced. Staff was friendly however, service was not too fast.

Very good coffee and bagels. The shop is clean and mildly fast with orders. It is very accessible, too, especially to those in Silliman College.

I think this coffee shop is good at student for doing homework or studying, so many students were studying and drinking coffee.

Great coffee spot. Bring a laptop and some work with you and try to snag a comfy chair at the back.

Over-rated, I think. The tea and hot chocolate are not as good as starbucks yet more expensive.
