The 42 best shopping and stores in New Haven

New Haven Green is a 16 acre green space located in downtown New Haven. Surrounding it is the hustle and bustle of the city. There are beautiful historic architecture everywhere you look when you're standing in the Green. It was built in 1638 and is the location for many events and festivals, in the past and present. There are three historic churches located there. Also, it is one of the oldest town green in the U.S. It was even used as a cemetery back in the day and the bodies are still buried there, but the headstones were removed. My family and I enjoyed walking through. There were many benches and there were plenty of walkways throughout. Also, they now have wifi if anyone wants to work remotely from here or have a picnic. I'm a fan of historic places and this place definitely has a rich history.

Decent size park located in the hearth of the downtown area of the city. 1st time visiting this city and wanted was one of my last stops.

Downtown New Haven Green is absolutely gorgeous—a beautiful spot for a Sunday stroll, a peaceful sit, or simply soaking in that charming New England vibe. Just a note: you may encounter some houseless individuals, some of whom may be dealing with mental health challenges. They’re generally harmless, but it’s always good to stay aware and be respectful of the shared space.

The New Haven Green at DWNTWN New Haven is really cool. Lots of green and friendly to all New Havenites. Take a seat on one of the benches or just plop down in the middle of the Green and enjoy the sounds of the water fountain. Sometimes there are concerts and such. If this doesn't work for you then take BUS 261 to the Milford Mall or the BUS 212U to Target / Best Buy / Dick's & BJs (always a lot of fun if you have a couple dollars to spare)

The grounds are well kept and dog friendly. But, new haven ignores the homeless and this is a refuge for some of them. It's a pretty scary place after dark because of the bus traffic and homeless just trying to find a place to sleep. They don't have any public restrooms besides the library so be warned it smells like a toilet.

I have mixed feelings about New Haven Green although I like this park

New Haven Green is a pretty good place to enjoy views of downtown New Haven or go for a stroll, but it is also very messy.

Our family has been here many times for various middle school and high school classes (highly recommend). But for the trip we took the admissions tour for our rising senior daughter and did the info session and really enjoyed it! The campus is so beautiful, and it was great learning more about applying and life on campus.

I was unaware of the scale that Yale University has. It’s quite literally an entire city. We walked for miles and block after block, building after building was just another Yale owned building. The architecture is truly incredible to see on these buildings. Hillhouse Avenue is full of beautiful houses turned into Yale buildings.

A very nice school with nice brown bricks buildings. There are a lot of police cars along side the school and its boundaries, and the light always keep lighting. There are also many security guards walking in the school area. The bad things are 1) the streets is not very clean, there are many trash on the streets; 2) there are some people walking with hammers, or other tools ; 3)the free parking varies, some 5pm, some 7pm. Be safe when visiting.

Let me preface this, I was only visiting the outside area as a tourist. I am not reviewing this as a student there. I am huge fan of history, architecture, and Gilmore Girls. While in the area, I had to make a visit. It was founded in 1701 and is one of the top 3 Ivy Leagues. It is known for their law, political science, medicine, drama, and history programs. I love the Gothic architecture. They made walking around accessible. They even offer tours. Overall, I think it is a lovely school and highly notable.

My wife and I recently visited Yale University for the first time, and we were absolutely amazed. The campus is stunning — a perfect blend of history, architecture, and natural beauty. Walking through the courtyards and along the old stone buildings felt like stepping into another world. The atmosphere was welcoming and full of energy. From the iconic Sterling Memorial Library to the peaceful Yale University Art Gallery, everything was thoughtfully designed and full of character. We especially appreciated how friendly and helpful everyone was.

On our way to Boston from NY, we decided to detour to New Haven, Connecticut, to visit Yale University, and we were amazed. It was truly worthwhile to visit this place and its beautiful buildings, which preserve the architecture of the 1700s. I recommend visiting Yale, the place where five US presidents and 60 Nobel laureates were educated. Walking through its tree-lined streets, steeped in history, was enriching for my family and me.

Very cool and authentic location. A must is the free Tour Sterling @Visitors Center! You Guys made the campus alive for us!

Right across the street from the Yale University Art Gallery, It’s the perfect next stop to complete your art-filled day. Free admission, a lovely atmosphere and super friendly staff. I really enjoyed my visit!

Seems like a comprehensive collection. Lacking contemporary works, but the ground floor exhibition was in the middle of being installed, so maybe that’s what happened there. In the basement there are handicap bathrooms and lockers for your large bags.

YCBA houses the largest collection of British art outside of the United Kingdom. Designed by the architect Louis I. Kahn (1901-1074) and opened in 1977, this building now serves as a space to present Yale University's British Art collection to the public. 4F is for the museum's permanent collection, while 2F and 3F hosts temporary exhibitions.

The museum houses the largest Turner collection outside of UK. Very nice exhibition space.

Great free museum to visit with tons of beautiful art, and right across the street from the Yale art gallery.

The renovation took awhile but very well done. The layout is airy and spacious and the artwork displayed expertly. Highly recommend

Wow... what a wonderful surprise to see how great this collection is (mostly from the Mellon donations)...had some really great works on display. Start on the top floor where you'll see most of the works, and then work your way down. The building is deceptive..a lot more room inside than would appear. Budget at least 90 minutes, esp if you plan to see a special exhibition.

Go here. You will have an amazing time, and you will find something you didn't expect, try it on, and dream about everything you can still be in life. You CAN be that person. You CAN be that cool.

A bit of history! I bought a really nice purse from the 60s! I paid $15 dollars for it ! I think it’s super cute! (Pic) The shop has dozens and dozens of pursues, clothes, hats, scarfs...! You need at least 2-3 hours to take a look around! Love the place! Tip: Make sure that what you want to buy is not a little pricey... I will come back soon!

Huge selection of vintage clothes and costume pieces and extremely knowledgeable owners make this a New Haven gem!

Have only good things to say about this place! Todd, one of the owners, spent a lot of time and multiple days on my husband and I, helping us put together a Peaky Blinders-esque couple's outfits- we looked authentic and cool, and are now much more comfortable with themed outfit parties. Thanks Todd!

Fashionista is a gem of a shop where ever item has a story. This is a carefully curated collection of top quality vintage clothing and accessories, lovingly displayed in the hope of finding each piece a new owner who will treasure it. I stopped in on a recent summer evening to look around. A tunic caught my eye — my colors, my style, my size! And designed by a couturier from Paris (or so the tag said). It was so much like me that it could have come from my closet! Another orphan found a new home. Fashionista is not a thrift store. That being said, the prices are very fair for the quality. Rental is also an option. When you have a little time, come on over and see what Fashionista has to offer. You will not be disappointed.

We first rented from Fashionista last August ... the owners went out of their way to help us. We were looking for 3 changes each for our gala. Naturally, this Halloween we of course took the long drive to New Haven. Todd, the owner, multi tasked with many customers as she made suggestions for us, tried many outfits on me.. then even took measurements to add to the piece a unique design to make my outfit perfect. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND These LADIES AND THEIR FABULOUS SHOP.

Best vintage shop in CT hands down. Amazing selection of clothing and accessories dating back to the 60s, 70s and 80s. Staff is very kind and welcoming, especially Tod! Very helpful and knowledgeable. Will absolutely be going back to this gem of a place.

This was the second place I visited during my little pizza tour this past weekend. It took a bit longer to get a table as I waited for about 1/2 hour after putting my name down on the waiting list. The staff here is nice. My server Christine was friendly, attentive and helpful. Since I couldn't decide on what kind of pie to get she suggested I get half of two different toppings. So I ordered half broccoli and half chicken. Since the place was packed, I didn't have too much of a wait time to get my order. The pizza itself is really good. I actually rated this a bit higher than the previous place I visited. I give Modern Apizza a 8.8 out of 10, just because I liked that the pizza was cooked perfectly where the crust wasn't too hard and it had a nice taste of garlic, where some people might get turned off. The restaurant itself is clean, they have a decent menu with reasonable pricing, serves alcohol (beer and wine) and has a good sized parking lot. Now that the college kids are back in school I expect this place to get busier as this really is a good spot to grab a bite to eat.

I stopped into Modern Apizza on a Saturday afternoon with my daughter and had a really good experience overall. We arrived around 12:40 PM and only waited about 15 minutes for a table, which was great considering how popular New Haven pizza spots can get. We ordered two small pies — the Mozzarella and a Meatball. The Mozzarella pizza had nice flavor but leaned a little undercooked for that classic New Haven char, with the crust on the softer side and a touch soupy in the middle. The Meatball pizza, on the other hand, was excellent: crispy crust, perfectly baked, and topped with sliced meatballs (not crumbled), which gave it great texture and flavor. The atmosphere feels like a step back in time — a bit of a late ’90s vibe with lots of memorabilia on the walls. It’s not the most modern look, but it adds character and charm. By the time we left, the place had filled up quite a bit, so arriving slightly earlier worked in our favor. Overall, Modern Apizza is a solid stop for anyone wanting the New Haven pizza experience. The pies are tasty, the service is friendly, and while the style can vary from pie to pie (sometimes softer, sometimes crispier), that’s part of the brick-oven character. Worth checking out if you’re in town

When we took a trip in the area we had to stop in to this famous pizza spot. There was a line at opening but it went fast. The interior is an old style booth setting. The staff was very friendly and pizza was of course fantastic. Stop if you can, if you are a pizza lover like myself you won't be disappointed. Then you can walk to Yale to burn some of the calories off.

Tried Modern Pizza for the first time and ordered the garlic bread, bruschetta, Margherita pie, and Veggie Bomb pie — everything tasted really good! The flavors were fresh and balanced, and the crust was perfectly baked. We did have to wait about 45 minutes for our order, but the food was worth it in the end. Definitely a spot I’d come back to for good quality pizza and appetizers. 🍕👏

Rich flavor, rich cheese🧀, and a slightly thicker crust than Frank Pepe — some people may prefer the thinner style, but this was great in its own way. The staff were very nice, and there are tons of topping options. You can even do half-and-half or quarter combinations, which is awesome. We were a party of two and only waited about 5 minutes at 1 PM on Friday. We ordered the Clams Casino, eggplant, anchovies, and pepperoni. If you want more of a pure clam flavor, I’d recommend ordering the regular clam pizza instead of Clams Casino — but the bacon on the Casino was very crispy, savory, and well-cooked. The anchovies had a really interesting and new flavor for us, but they were a bit salty for our taste. My favorite was eggplant pizza! 🍆Highly recommend.

Loved!! I'm actually surprised how much I loved! We tried the clam, meat lovers, and our server suggested the eggplant, so we had that too. Oh, me of little faith in the eggplant pizza. It was phenomenal! Something about the crust is extra great, I haven't stopped thinking about it in weeks. The others were equally good but a lot of toppings. I read that CT pizza is best enjoyed with fewer toppings and I've found that to be true. Get the eggplant pizza!

I found myself in New Haven on Saturday afternoon in August, and wanted to try some of their famous Pizza. My GPS and Google brought me to "Modern" when I searched "Best Pizza Near Me." So I ventured there, and though difficult to find parking, I eventually found a spot. Walking up to the front door, I was told there were about 50 people in front of me which might be a 2 plus hour wait. But the man there said take out would be much quicker. So I made that choice. Went back to the rear left of the restaurant and had my order for takeout in about 6 minutes. Maybe 15 minutes later, my food was ready. I opted for the Italian Bomb and a Ceaser salad. Which I had to take home, over an hour drive back to Stamford. That being said, with a lukewarm pizza and semi-chilled salad both were FANTASTIC!! Really, really AMAZING pizza!! I can certainly see why Dave Portnoy rates Modern as a Top Three Pizza in Connecticut. It was absolutely magnificent!! I would go to this place over and over again if it were near me. I would not hesitate to go back when I'm in New Haven next.

I expected the line outside. What I didn’t expect was an hour wait once we ordered one pizza. Was it delicious? Yes. I wish the crust wasn’t so burnt though. The waitress never came and checked on us to let us know there was an hour before we’d eat. Never filled our water until we flagged her down. Still glad I ate here, but prepare to wait. EDIT-Thank you for letting me know about the New Haven char. I had no idea. If that’s how it’s done than the pizza was perfect!

Delicious Pizza! We arrived 30 minutes before opening and we were 5th in line. There is normally a line as it’s very popular. The pizza was a true classic in amazing flavor. Portions were large and the price wasn’t bad especially considering how delicious the pizza tasted. Next time definitely getting it to go so a side by side can happen with their biggest competitor. Overall if you love pizza this is a must visit location as they are definitely in the top pizza places in the world.

Great pizzas and quick friendly service. Definitely recommend adding fresh garlic and basil to any pizza you get. We ordered many different ones but liked the stinger the most. I’ve tried other apizzas so felt like the crust could be thinner, but still good!

*Update*: Spoke with management, very pleasant person over the phone clearly committed to making things better. Definitely will give them another shot. *Update* So, let me start off by saying that my experience from this location has only been take out. I did dine in at another Sally’s location and the pizza was tied with Di Fara’s as my all time favorite. So I was rather disappointed with my experience at this location, especially being the original spot. I did give it two chances though. My first time I was scheduled for a 2:45pm pickup but showed up at 2:40 thinking it wouldn’t be ready yet. To my surprise it was all ready to go. I took it to my car and immediately opened it up. While it was warm, I could tell right away it had been sitting in the box for a long amount of time. It was floppy and not as crispy as I thought it was going to be. No where near as good as the Sally’s at the other location. So I decided to give it another try. This time I had a pickup time of 2:15. When I got there there was a sign up that wasn’t there before saying it was cash only. I told the guy I wasn’t told over the phone that they were cash only and asked his advice on closest atm. In a rushed manner he said “I have no clue. Maybe downtown”. I proceeded to walk around for 20 minutes to find an atm. When I came back approximately 30 minutes later I noticed the sign was taken down. I told the cashier at the takeout window my situation and he said “I’m just a worker bee, that was a managerial decision”. I said perhaps he should bring my feedback back to his manager. No response, clearly he was overwhelmed and didn’t care. I asked him if my pie had been sitting around, he told me it was in a warmer. So, yes, my pie was just sitting in a box in a warmer. There are a bunch of different things he could have done in this situation to rectify things, but he had no desire to do that. I’m also noticing a lot of “cookie cutter” responses to reviews on this account. “We value your feedback and will share with our team”. To me, I don’t get the feeling you are valuing people’s feedback, and I didn’t get that feeling in person either. I get it, you will still get a line of people each day paying $27 for your pie no matter what. But perhaps you should just put a little more effort into really making this a 9.2 experience for all, even those without YouTube channels.

I got the burrata pizza. It looks divine and i cannot believe im saying this but it could’ve used a little more flavor. I added every single seasoning in my cabinet to every slice i ate. I did eat a good amount of it on my own and it was delicious even then. Much to my surprise the thin crush did hold everything up pretty well. Didn’t get too flimsy. I would get this again.

Visited 30 pizzerias in 9 days in New Haven, Philly and New York. All the way from the UK. Sally’s was my first stop in New Haven. Arrived around 11:30. Service was fine. He let us try some of the sodas before settling on the cream soda so a slight plus there. Although the guy had a script he was doing with every table and it did not feel personable in any way at all to us. “Are you guys ready for the best pizza of your life?!” Was what he said to every table. Which you could hear every few minutes. I was really was ready for the best pizza of my life but what we got was genuinely the worst pizza of the 30 I visited on my 9 day trip. Very disappointed in this experience as I’ve been excited for years to visit Sally’s. The photo’s will show you the pizzas we were served. I spoke to others in new haven that day that feel the same and met another person who went at 19:30 the same day was served a similarly under baked pie. If the owners are happy with this output then that’s a real shame.

Been thinking about pizza for a while, hence decided to drive to New Haven (CT). The drive was about 2 hours plus. The wait in the line was another 2 hours plus. The pizza arrived about 30 minutes after I was seated & placed the order. I invested 5 hours for pizza (not counting the drive back). Not just any pizza, but pizza in New Haven (CT), arguably the best pizza town in America. Not just any pizza, but pizza at Sally’s, perhaps amongst the top three pizza joints in New Haven (CT). But 5 hours ? Yes, 5 hours because it is so good. The long wait time may perhaps also be because Sally’s has just one small coal fired oven (probably the same since 1938) and serves both sit down customers and takeout orders. I ordered three small pies (thin charred crust). Tomato Pie (not the red pizza sauce, just crushed fresh tomato) Clam Pizza (don’t hate it till you try it) Potato & Rosemary Pie (don’t hate it till you try it) In 1938, the most expensive pie at Sally’s was $1.50. It is not dollar fifty anymore, but these pies and the crowds outside Sally’s have endured so far. After I got home, I placed the leftover slices (in the box) on the kitchen counter for a very short time. The whole house had that wonderful New Haven charred crust pizza aroma (so good).

First time here in years and was pleasantly surprised to learn the had updated the menu over the last year. Fortunately, the food was just as excellent as my last visit. Since I was flying solo, I decided to sit at the bar and had a great conversation with the bartender. Everything was delicious and the portions were just right. Highlight was the branzino, it was cooked to perfection!

We had a great meal and drinks at Zinc. The waitress was very friendly and attentive as was all of the staff. The sangria was very good I would highly recommend it. I ordered the octopus and my husband has the sea bass. Both entrees were delicious but on the smaller side. We did not care for the cheese platter appetizer and would skip that next time. Overall we enjoyed the meal! Parking can be validated at the local garage or park on the street at a meter.

My husband and I went here for our anniversary. We were greeted with champagne and then had a few cocktails from the bar. We had the baba ganoush and duck special for appetizers, chicken tacos and lamb for our meals, and tried a few of their delicious deserts. The staff were welcoming and friendly. It was a super lovely night!

Hands down the best food we’ve had in the city. The use of herbs is what makes this place shine. Perfectly placed mint, basil and rosemary. Everything fresh and creative.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Very good food, started with summer beet salad, then roasted chicken and lamb chop meals. Ended with butterscotch dessert

Excellent restaurant right in the center of New Haven, across from the green, upscale atmosphere and a bit pricey, but the food is fresh and delicious. Great for romantic dinner or special occasion.

Beautiful establishment, attentive staff. Flavors of the meals are out of this world. I had a wonderful experience sitting at the bar. Will absolutely be back soon! Gluten free options. Greatly gifted chef. Drinks were SO tasty too! I got the tuna, got it as the chef recommended. My friend ordered the salmon. Was so good! Almond cake, get it if you can!

It's a bar with a small pizza menu. The pizza is thin crust and there's four options from what I saw on the menu, and it's all delicious. A friend and I split a large which was a bit too much but somehow we finished it all. The service was good, they didn't come and check on us which was in the end of the world. But we sort of expect that sometimes for drink refills and such. It looks like a pretty happen place with a good bar and lots of space to eat and hang out including outside seating. Which probably wouldn't be for me with the busy road outside. But if you heard the pizza is good here, I would have to agree and I would encourage you to check it out. Probably not a good spot for kids, but for everybody else it's great.

BAR was incredible. Not as old as the other New Haven pizza spots, but definitely worth trying a pie. Some of the thinnest pizza I have ever had. Their Lobster Roll and Mashed Potato and Bacon are great non-traditional offerings at this bar that also serves as a nightclub at night. Definitely recommend to anyone on New Haven Pizza tour.

Visited New Haven and was told that BAR had really great pizza -- specifically the mashed potato pizza. I wasn’t sure if I’d like it, but it turns out that I LOVED it. So good! This place is great to grab some pizza with a group. There were lots of great options on the menu.

This was our 1st time at Bar. They had a 30 minute wait but the hostess suggested we sit at the bar and order pizza if we wanted. Great idea! We started with the tomato pie which was perfect. Their sauce is delicious 😋. Hubby had a key lime sour beer and really enjoyed it. We finished the tomato pie and ordered "a taste of New Haven" pie. OMG, in house made sausage, roasted red peppers, dough, sauce, ricotta....so yummy. We boxed up what was left to go , got 2 crawlers of the key lime beer to go and said our good bye 😀

first time trying new haven style pizza as a jersey native. pizza was good. waitress with curly hair was nice and even helped when they sent out the wrong pie. young girl as the hostess tonight 10/23 5pm not so much. when i asked if we could do a table for 2 she immediately asked if my partner and i could be out of there by 7pm. weird question but sure no problem we just wanted a quick bite to eat anyways. i thought maybe they’re doing an event or something. she didn’t ask the group behind us that same question which was weird too but i realized my partner and i were the only non white people in there. we left at 6pm sharp so we didn’t go over the time limit set by the front hostess. as we left she said goodnight to a group walking a few feet in front of us but looked at my partner and i and didn’t say anything. i love trying new places to eat all over nyc/nj/boston and unfortunately this place is the first time i’ve ever had a bad taste left in my mouth. the pizza was good and our waitress with curly hair was super sweet but i probably wont be back because of the hostess.

BAR New Haven was excellent pizza!! I was my first time there, and I brought three people from Maine with me plus one from CT. We all loved the pizza and the atmosphere!! Our waitress Taylor was phenomenal, she was very friendly and had a great conversation with us. We tried her favorite pizza Md Portrait of NH (Sausage, Roasted Red pepper, Ricotta, Basil, Garlic). Great recommendation by Taylor.

Super thin crust pizzas. We tried the famous/notorious mashed potato + bacon pizza. It was really yummy and scrumptious. (Should have ordered a small pie for two people; the medium is huge.) We also recommend the beers they make! The space itself is really cool. It’s divided into several rooms.

A good place to drop by if you're looking for a fully vegetarian spot. The tofu is soft but the flavors are on the generic and bland side, however the food is very healthy overall. The atmosphere is also great for studying with plenty of sunlight. Staff is very friendly also!

Anytime we visit family in New Haven area, we make a point of having lunch at Claire's, especially after a night of pizza! Order at the counter, bus your table. Food is fabulous and healthy, portions are large. Tip - salads and soups come with a small loaf of bread, you can ask to leave it off your order. I didn't try and substitute, just didn't want it because the salad is large and has croutons. You can get a to-go box for leftovers. Tea selection was good and water was hot.

Had dinner during visit to Yale. Loved that the restaurant has lots of vegetarian choices. Lots of pizza, pasta and salad options. Made fresh . Friendly staff. Lovely decor and ambiance.

Made this our #1 to try for an overnight in town. The place itself reminds me of coop restaurants from the NE and WC. Seems like the entire team is behind their service and what they're serving up. The whole place feels like an oasis of rooted morale in good service, community, and a warm welcome vibe that is perfect! Ordered a Fire Island sandwich. Massive! Had to wrap up half and eat it later (sooner than later cuz it was too good to wait). Wish they were at home. But definitely stopping by on our next trip to the area.

İ like the place. And ı like the variety of the food. Cant belive there is artichoke stuffed! I wish i can try artichoke, lazagna a few more things… The omlette was huge! I only didn’t like one thing is; they didn’t bring our meals at the same time. When i had half of my omlette the other order arrive.

The selection is amazing and the servers are SO sweet!!! Super quick service, clean. I got the carrot cake wich was HUGE and delic, with big chunks of nuts. Great smoothie assortment at we got the blueberry banana.

Overall seems like a nice vegetarian/vegan spot but did not like what I ordered (roasted vegetable salad). Except for the one asparagus spear on the salad, all of the vegetables (mostly just carrots) were raw and crunchy. And even with tahini dressing and hummus on it, it had very little flavor. My partner ordered a burrito that was also not very good. Maybe we just ordered the wrong things as their menu was very extensive and everything sounded good.

Near LITTLE book store with small cafe. Many different genres of books along with miscellaneous items to purchase. Prices seem reasonable. Half of building is small cafe with food and drink. Daughter got an iced vanilla latte (they don’t normally have cold foam, but did put cold foam from a seasonal drink on it) I had the Arnie Palmie. Both drinks were fine.

I really enjoyed my visit to Atticus Bookstore Cafe! The bookstore is so cute and stocked with journals, puzzles, different genres of books, and felt pop culture people ornaments! I ended up buying a Freddie Mercury and Dolly Parton felt ornament because I could not resist. The person working the bookstore was so friendly and knowledgeable, and seeing my interest in the Freddie Mercury ornament even showed me a new Freddie Mercury puzzle they just got in stock. The food and drink from the cafe was excellent, and speed of service was phenomenal. The breakfast sandwich was delicious-nice over-easy egg in the middle and a great portion of crispy bacon on fresh greens all in between a fresh and toasted potato bun. The cold brew was strong and flavorful. There's plentiful seating in a very pleasant atmosphere to enjoy your breakfast in.

I loved this place. Been there for at least 2/3 times while visiting Yale. Great coffee, good fresh bakery items, and great collection of books. Employees from both cafe and book sections are great. Loved their sandwich, cookies and muffins. The place is always very busy and you have to wait in a long queue because of its proximity to museum and campus but it’s worth waiting for.

Turkey club is bomb! Coffee is alright, and service is usually pretty good. Gets a bit crammed inside sometimes though, not tons of space.

I drank a very delicious latte. I really enjoyed it, the staff were caring and sweet. I tried the healthy chocolate bar sold at the cash register. It is also very enjoyable to have it together with the book section. The only thing that disturbed me was the fact that the seating areas were separate and there were beggars coming in. They should take this into consideration!

Coffee - very good Hot chocolate- very good 4 slices of sourdough toast for $7 - GROSS SHRINKFLATION because they cut 2 slices from the loaf, cut each of them in 2 and called it 4 slices. When there was a lull and nobody in line, I brought it to their attention that i was missing 2 slices, they did not agree. Ironically there were many books on the shelf that could have been referenced… Never again. Too many other options.

This was such a cute place!!!! The pastries were absolutely DELICIOUS. They tasted fresh and really really good. The staff there was super nice and helpful as well! I asked for book recommendations and the lady at the cashier helped me right away. (will definitely buy those books.) Their books are also nicely organized into sections, which I also really loved, along with even a section for "staff recommendations" which I thought was a smart idea. The atmosphere was super cute and cozy. 100% recommend stopping by and having a quick pastry or food and maybe even check out some books!

I ate here after a long day of driving. We got a few beers. The draft menu was pretty decent, some pretty funky stuff on there (kombucha ginger?). I got the spicy chicken wrap. The wrap wasn’t what I’d hoped it to be. The fried bit sloughed off and got soggy with all the other ingredients. The overall flavor was just missing something (what it was I’m not sure). My SO got the vermont style burger. He said it was mediocre, not worth $17 though. Each dish came with a mountain of fries. Honestly surprised how this place got a 4.3 rating with their food being how it was.

Amazing beer selection! Loved the attention. Not very busy on a Saturday night. Food is “meh”... the meatballs, empanada and sandwich were easily forgettable. GO FOR BEERS! They’re seriously amazing.

Stopped here for brunch on Sunday and really impressed by the beer menu and the food. Lots of rare and hard to find beers available. Charcuterie boards are half price on sundays so only $14 for a selection of 6 meats and cheeses. It was more than enough for two of us to share and everything was fresh and delicious. Also had a musician playing Beatles tunes which set a cool vibe in the place. Would def visit again if I get back to new haven.

Always a great time and never once disappointed with food.. good variety of beer options.. and Ryan the bartender is the best

Sloooow service (12:15pm-1:30pm). Fries were really good. Veggie Burger was dry but flavorful

It was excellent. The Turkey chili was pretty good and the burger was delicious. it was cooked exactly how I asked and wanted. It has a tremendous bar area with a large dining area. if you like darts they have an elevated platform with two steel tip dart boards. definitely a great place to go.

The beer selection is as good as advertised, I've never had the same brew twice here. The food is definitely worth a mention, their menu updates often and everything is expertly done. The price can be a bit high depending on what you're there for. Highly recommended for drinks & appetizers or group dinners. It has that dimly lit hardwood floor pub ambience you hope to see at a place with Cask in its name.

I love the Shubert! Unlike another larger venue in Hartford... every seat is a good seat and you can actually see the stage, even from the back of the balcony! I bring around 40 students to see a show each year, and I can honestly say their group prices can not be beat by any other large theatre in the state. They also have a wonderfully diverse array of shows, including great dance performances which can be hard to find. I highly recommend!

Great theater, plenty of seat room. The acoustic was excellent. I would definitely go back to see another Broadway show.

This was my first time there and it was amazing. It was easy to park right next to the theater for 10.00. The seats are comfortable and there is plenty of leg room. There is not a bad seat in the theater. It is a great place to see a show.

I traveled from Rockland county NY other that the rush hour traffic it was an easy drive. The treatre was beautiful. The staff very friendly and helpful. I would definitely attend another event there. Plenty of nearby parking for a reasonable price.

Clean and spacious. Seats are numbered so it’s easy to see. Staff were helpful with any directions we needed.

A small theater with great views from just about any seat you have. The seats are super comfortable and you have plenty of room between you and the row in front of you. The theater is located in downtown New Haven with plenty of dining options before or after a show.

I think the Shubert is a great theater with a wide variety of show and a convenient location in CT (at least for me it is). It's also surrounded by a TON of restaurants, so you're spoiled for choice when it comes to having a meal before or after the show. One thing I really like is the fact the Shubert let's you see the entire seating chart and pick your seat when booking a show online. This may not sound like anything out of the ordinary but a few other theaters in CT only let you pick sections and then they give you random seats and there's no way to tell if there are better seats without starting over. The Shubert does NOT do that to you. I've been here twice so far and what I love most about the Shubert is how small it is, which means a lot of the seats are relatively close to the stage and you have a great view. The Mezzanine overhangs the Orchestra at Row H, so you start off only being about 8 rows back. Even the back row of the Mezzanine isn't too far. I believe the Balcony starts a couple of rows further back than the start of the Mezzanine, so still a good distance but I haven't sat up there. The seats are comfortable. I'm 5'6'' and both times I went (Mezzanine) my knees did NOT touch the seat in front of me. Given how tiny some theater's seats can be, that's a good thing. When you first walk in, there are 2 little bars - one in plain view and one behind the stairs. When you go up a level, there's a huge bar with a lot of seating. There's also an outdoor patio area with more seating. Entrance to the Mezzanine is another level up from there and it has a tiny bar. Bathrooms on every level. Although, I haven't sat in the Balcony, so can't speak for bars or bathrooms up there. We'll definitely be back. Love this place :-)

This was a beautiful little hole in the wall breakfast spot. Lovely jazz music, kind staff, and a colorful interior decorated the inside atmosphere. Reasonable prices for cash only (atm on site). We so enjoyed our experience there!

immaculately golden vibe with jazz music playing and colorful posters of jazz festivals around the world. perfect mix of rustic charm with glass ketchup bottles and quality food. i’ve never had potato skins on home fries cooked to such crunchy perfection. the rye toast was earthy and crisp and the food came out in less than 5 minutes. very happy to live a couple blocks from here!

If you're in New Haven or a student at Yale, you should find a weekend to hike to the Pantry. I'm surprised not more people know about this place. Fresh brunch place!

We were on our way to RI and Martha's Vineyard. We heard a really good things about this place and stopped by for brunch. I was impressed by their service, they were super quick. Taste was also good. We will visit again.

The food here is amazing and our waitress was awesome. You have to try the grapefruit brûlée and the cinnamon roll pancake!

I am African American and when I come in especially today. I noticed the difference in the customer service that I receive. They serve 2oz cups of coffee for $3.75. Against Serve safe they combine expired coffee with freshly brewed. I ordered one egg and was given two. I only ate one and when I seen my check. I reminded the server that I only ordered one, she looked at me with a so what face expression and said “ I am pretty sure the cook gave you two” even though that’s not what I ordered or ate. I stated again that’s not what I ordered and I cannot eat two, that’s why I ordered one. She said well I guess I can take off the little $2 😳I have never been rude. The coffee cups size takes me four cups to equal one. So I like refills especially for $4 per 2oz cups and she fills the cup halfway. No matter what she should never forget about customer service no matter the nationality. I watched the difference in her service she provided me versus those who were not African American and this is maybe the 4th time I have experienced this issue and only with the same server. I will not be back.

Cozy, colorful atmosphere and excellent, helpful, friendly waitstaff. The menu has something for everyone, even a delicious (seriously) tofu scramble! Five people in our party and everyone liked what they ordered.

Beautiful historic cemetery. We spent a good hour just walking around astonished by the stories, accomplishments, and dates of the wonderful people resting there.

This is a very well kept and tranquil cemetery with some very important residents. Eli Whitney, Noah Webster, and Josiah Willard Gibbs to name just a few. Nestled in the city with beautiful Yale campus and church backdrops this is a great quiet spot to pay respects. Very well laid out making it an easy walk or drive for anyone

Beautiful and well kept cemetery tucked in the middle of the city alongside Yales campus. It’s incredible how disconnected you become from the city around you due to its layout and beautiful tree coverage.

Quaint and serene cemetery honoring the past residents of New Haven. Numerous veterans, Yale professors, and influential individuals reside 6-feet under. While the upkeep at cemeteries is always to be desired, it would be better if some of the 300+ year old tombstones that have fallen down be picked up, grass grown uniformly, etc.

A beautiful and quiet sanctuary to remember our forefathers. The burials are old and there are some historic names buried here. A nice place to walk through with a toddler on a Sunday to get away from the crowds and noise of campus.

Beautiful cemetery that encompasses many famous people. Often you can get the specialized grave rubbing paper from the office. I'm so blessed that my deceased Mother, Dr. Beatrice Tinsley, is there. The staff, office and landscapers, are amazing and take such good care of all the gravestones, lawn, trees, etc. Definitely a 'must see' in New Haven. The office has a master map of the entire property. Go and learn the history, you'll never experience another Cemetery like this one.

Beautiful burial grounds. Serene and well taken care of, the doors are open at 8:00am and close at 4:00pm. People often walk around and pay their respect.

Always a good time. Great sticks with outside smoke area. Staff are awsome!

I've been coming here for many years but as I get older I appreciate things like quiet time and conversation. I showed up and completely forgot that Jazz night was in session. That was amazing. Because despite how quiet it wasn't I thoroughly enjoyed it! It was wonderful, but what was more amazing was that the band played, "Caravan" at the end and that was amazing. All of the staff is always super friendly and kind! We got taken care of right away without any issues! Can't wait to be back and have a couple more cigars!

Loved the vibe- dark, calm and elegant. I’m not a cigar expert but. The one I had was really good. Great place to chill with coffee, a drink, or a cigar. I’ll definitely be back.

Packed on a Wednesday night with a Jazz band playing. Since 2004 the Owl Shop has been the only public venue in CT where you can smoke cigars and drink. The Owl Shop originally opened as a bookstore in 1934 at 84 ½ Wall Street in New Haven, CT.

The best atmosphere, just a good vibes, good cigars, spectacular drinks and an even better staff. Will always come back, as this is probably one of my favorite lounges.

This is the chill spot. My primo @themeattruck and me @iamlivingproofdesigns love coming here for the cool vibes. Jazz, cigars and drinks. Thanks

We had a fantastic time at this cigar bar. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure everyone was well taken care of. My wife and I enjoyed some delicious cocktails from their menu. They also offer a small outdoor seating area if you prefer to enjoy your drink and cigar outside. Highly recommend!

What a cute little find, right across from the university. Great place for drinks and studying. The servers were really nice and great with custom orders. And boy are they fast, i had dei k in my hand in less than 5 minutes. Loved it!

Cute little book store/cafe! I love how laid back this place is. Recommend if you’re looking for a place to do your work in and just grab a nice drink!

Extremely comfortable and vibey cafe. A must go for anyone who just wants excellent, and extremely affordable coffee and bagels. Free water is provided and the staff were extremely friendly. Theres are tonnes of books on the shelves as well for you to browse through.

Menu prices were covered up. The bottled drink I purchased was almost $6 with tax. I would have preferred coffee drink and egg sandwich but did not want to ask about prices - I do not order without knowing ~ learned the hard way paying "Market Price" for lobster dinner years ago.

one of my favorite places in new haven. always the perfect cozy spot to read a book or do work, love the book selection, the sandwiches are amazing. my only wish is that the coffee were actually any good. but still always a treat to come here!

Really good drinks and for a decent price, also many a vegan option to eat, which is always a plus

Beautiful location, amazing food (I recommend the tempesto extra vinaigrette to everyone), and I can’t say how wonderful the owner is. I’ve known them for years and they put care into every aspect of their business. A true gem to New Haven

RESTAURANT REVIEW Nica's Market New Haven Opened in 2002, Nica's Market is an Italian Deli located on Orange Street in New Haven CT. Nica's offers a wide variety of delicious sandwiches, salads, panini's and more. There are a wide variety of fresh made "hot foods" to satisfy local residents and workers appetites. The prices are slightly above the local average but the food is top notch.....most of the time. The one downside is the customer service, despite touting about it on their website. After visiting many times in a short period I was never met with the "outstanding customer service" they boast about. The food preparers seem all over the place and don't greet you with a friendly smile. Several order specifics were ignored on every one of my visits, including missing ingredients and added ingredients that were not ordered. Out of the 12 days I ate at Mica's, my "hot" food was stone cold, despite sitting on the hot bar. This happened at all times of the day as early as 11 AM and as late as 3PM. Bottom line. The food is delicious and the selection is great. If you have the patience to deal with a few annoying mistakes and inconsistent service definitely check this deli out just based on the amazing variety of Italian foods. Contrary to the food preparers, the girls that work the coffee counter are friendly and charming and always end the experience on a high.

I expected a regular sandwhich from the deli counter but I couldn't even beleive the Cowgirl Deli sandwhich. It was packed with amazing ingredients that really harmonized all the ingredients. The fact that they stacked up the deli meats and just dropped a few drops of vinegar, olive oil and dressings made this sandwhich amazing. I couldn't eat it all at once. The second half is going to be for dinner.

Had the cowgirl panini which was pretty decent all in all. The peppers give it a slight kick, and the rest of it is mild. The pizza was eaten cold on the road so won’t comment on that since it probably wasn’t meant to be eaten that way. My gripe is with posted pricing for the sandwiches. Posted pricing is $11 but at checkout all of them said $12 and the girl said “oh prices increased last year but we just don’t bother keeping it updated.” What’s the point of posting prices then? Lines are long but service is overall quick, we stepped out for a bit and came back in 20 min and they were ready. No bathrooms, crowded parking lot, and areas out front to sit.

Nica's Marketplace in New Haven offers a delightful experience. We tried the portobello mushroom panini and chicken pennette, both of which were delicious. The prices are more affordable compared to other places, and there are many food options to choose from. The gelato ice creams were exceptional. I look forward to visiting again.

Do not go here if you are a person of color. I have known this place for quite a while. Food is decent for a quick bite or lazy nights with way too many options to choose from. However, the customer service always sucks. Its a busy place so I get you don't have the time but you are food service bussiness. I have been there yesterday only to be waiting for my turn for more than 10 min. While I wait, I noticed there were flies all over the place on the pizzas that we wanted to order. I was calling a lady behind the counter to let her...saw us but wouldn't pay attention. I thought she must be busy or not see me...I am a big girl and its hard not see me. And I continued to wait only for me to see that they are choosing the customers than finding out who's next. I said excuse me like 5 times and My voice is not faint either. No one responded. What pissed me off is how much they boast about customer service. Like if I am brown, you can't see me? Never stepping into that place again.

Aye t̾e̾r̾p̾y̾fam ya guy slid thru Nica's lookin for a sammich of the Eye talian variety and lets just say this place gives ya olde worlde city mart vibes... The aisles are a lil cramped and theres a overwhelming array of specialty food items. If you can work your way around you will land at a counter to order sandwiches and pre made pastas n salads. And they bring the classics! Got a chicken cutlet badabing badaboom onna good roll and fresh arugula lemon dress3d to impress and clean cut Nice lil area to sit on a nice day and you have a sweet lunch w/o even having to try. This place is a gem! Take your time and enjoy a few minutes, life moves fast enough!

Lived in New Haven for 6 years, and there were periods of time where I went to Nica’s daily. It’s the best! Amazing people, amazing hot foods in the back, and a reliable grocery market with everything you might need. Must try the paninis and Sicilian pizza (very tasty thick crust if New Haven style isn’t for you)! Also a lovely patio out front. Will miss this place the most out of everywhere in New Haven

Lots of cool old instruments and staff was very helpful.

This is a small but amazing collection of very old musical instruments. There are woodwind instruments such as oboes, keyboard instruments such as harpsicords, stringed instruments such as violins, bells of various types, and a few other items as well. Allow 45 minutes to go round the museum.

A MUST-SEE MUSEUM!! Anybody who love music, this is your place!!! With friendly staffs, they show you the past and history of their collections of old original musical instruments!! Definitely would come back here!

Free museum with a lot of displays on the evolution of modern musical instruments. If you're in New Haven and are interested in music, this is a cool place to stop.

A good place to see old instruments, it's a small place but if you see each detail and you understand of music you can spend almost 2 hours to see the whole place

a great place for person who love musical instruments and want to know more about the ancient or the evolution of musical instruments.

Friendly staff, amazing collection of instruments, beautifully presented. It's an underrated treasure

For 3 days In a row it has not been open, although website says open. There is no notice in window or on website that gives any info as to why. The grand opening was great. The food was appealing and the freshness was obvious. I hope all is well with owner and staff.

I've noticed this building for months and I finally had time to check it out. This is honestly one of the most amazing markets I've shopped at. First, its beautiful and spotless. There's so much to choose from, pretty much all organic. I was thoroughly impressed. Very helpful staff, friendly patrons. Nice little cafeteria area. Coffee and tea station (they have blue agave nectar). Such a health conscious environment!

Waited a long time for the new, relocated Elm City Market to open. Now it has its been nothing but disappointment. Going smaller seems to be accompanied by reducing quality, especially of fruit (peaches we bought had to be thrown they were so bad!), and limiting breadth of products held. So sad but Elm is no longer on my shopping list.

I was so thankful when elm city market opened. For a reasonably small place, they have a great selection of healthy produce and natural brands. Their fruit/veg section is always nicely stocked and they have more than just the average options for GF, Vegans, veg, and paleo. In my experience the staff has always been very friendly, happy, and helpful. The cafe is nice for a quick sit down and they always have a colorful selection of flowers and house plants for purchase. The prices are general higher than say Trader Joe's, etc. but it's well worth it for the convenience!

Delicious and full of fresh choices. From pork chops and salmon to fresh baked goods. Having Elm City Market right downtown is exactly what New Haven needed.

Super nice market. So many options and the new store looks great! The service and environment is super friendly! 10/10!!!

I shop at Elm City Market, a few times per month. Their greens and other vegetables are fairly priced. They have an amazing selection of healthy beverages. If organic and healthy is your thing, Elm City Market is one of the best.

People who work here very organized. Not like the one in naugatuck, what a cluster, one person at the register, with a line 10 people deep. I had some stuff I wanted to buy, but I left...

Stop and shop is standard. The dollar store here is bigger than most and has a wide selection. There's a dentist office, tutoring, foods and arts, a gym, gas, taco bell, and a couple other places. It's right by the highway so sometimes there's some traffic, but nothing bad. Next to this plaza are a few other nice things to check out such as the teen art and activity center, more food and ice cream, and a bowling alley!

It’s main shopping center in Woodbridge where there is Stop & Shop grocery stores, eateries, optician, Dollar store and many more shops.

Always clean , parking available, employees are patient always welcoming and friendly.

Good customer service. Very thorough....

I used to love this store, but when I went in recently it looked like a bomb hit it. The employees were all up front laughing and talking among themselves. This store went from 5 stars to 1. Horrible.

What I really like about this Dollar tree is a wider selection of art supplies and storage/organization options. It's easy to run in find what I'm looking for and go. The other depts are sometimes a bit bare like cleaning supplies and Kleenex/TP. But for crafts that I want to do with my son I find unique choices we enjoy.

Really nice park for jogging or mediation with friends.

It’s a beautiful place to take a walk. It has plenty of room with a paved road to allow for running, biking, walking and benches for sitting. I took my dog and there is a dog park area. There is a skatepark and a local farmers market was in full swing. There were tennis courts and they were packed. Parking not so good. The duck pond was clean and lots of ducks and geese swimming. Lots of paths branch off into surrounding neighborhoods. There are park areas with the usual kid equipment.

Polar ,water bottle spring, loaded water and transport to different states inside America

Growing up in west haven parks have been ok, but since I’ve lived in New Haven this has always been a nice place to jog and see the nature side of the amity west ville border much better cleaning crews, nice to see the kids be kids playing at the park and the amount of new 🌳🌷🌺🌲🌲🌱🌾🦆 is gorgeous very nicely done too, a raise is deserved to the landscaping crew and planters who put up new trees and foliage and the environmental service workers are a1 I saw not one piece of trash and plenty of receptacles great job 👏🏿

Edgewood Park is a truly beautiful greenspace that also functions as an urban oasis for so many different types of fauna and flora. Walking through the trails is an enriching and grounding experience, Duck Pond is a lovely sight and so are the ducks, and of course you have the skate park on the north side and the playground towards the south. The graffiti is not why I'm knocking a star, but it definitely deserves its own note. To me, it tells the history of this park and those that were here once upon a time. It's fascinating to me to see how people saw the world through graffiti. The reason why I'm knocking a star is because the entirety of the recreation area to the west of the playground and West River, between Edgewood & Chapel, is unusable. It has been mowed when I was there a week or so ago, but it's still unusable as an outdoor recreation area, thanks to a solid half-inch of grass and what-not I have to step through throughout the entire area, and I was concerned for ticks and other bugs that I might bring home the entire time I walked through that area. Overall, I would definitely come back here for the sights & sounds, a place to unwind, and also a place to work out; I find a lot of people do their morning workout here!

It’s a fairly typical city park, I think, with some lovely parts and some well maintained features, and other things that have fallen into disrepair and a pretty chronic litter problem. There’s a road (closed to cars) running through the center of the park that is about a mile long. A lot of people run or walk their dogs or bike along it. There’s a dog park and a pretty popular skate park, a bunch of tennis courts, some playground equipment, and short trails running along each side of the park, roughly parallel to the road. There’s a river running through it, and a tidal pond that is usually full of ducks and geese. Certain low-lying areas in the park are prone to flooding, and because a lot of the water there flows in from the Long Island Sound, it can smell a little foul around low tide. But overall it’s a nice place to have nearby.

Beautiful park, highly recommend. Farmer's market, skatepark, playground... and I need to keep exploring so I'm sure I'm missing other things. One afternoon I was walking around and saw some dancers practicing. This seems like a vibrant and eclectic community center, a park that embodies everything wonderful about Connecticut. I'm excited to go back asap! :)

Extremely disappointing experience. We walked in to make a simple purchase, but not a single staff member offered assistance—or even acknowledged us. After standing around for over 15 minutes, we left empty-handed and frustrated. Apple used to be known for stellar customer service, but this store feels like a completely different company. The staff were careless, unhelpful, and seemed completely uninterested in doing their jobs. Zero support, zero professionalism. Definitely not coming back.

I’ve been to this Apple location a few times, one time I had an excellent experience but every single time after that was underwhelming. My first experience was with an amazing lady who helped me to pick out the right MacBook for me and got me tons of discounts that I didn’t even know that I was eligible for, she was a true lifesaver. Every time after though I feel as if maybe they’ve gotten so busy that they didn’t realize that they’ve been serving each client as if they were the same person, some are super techie and some are just learning how to use a phone… there are different tiers of users so when you speak to everyone with the same tone it sometimes will either overwhelm someone or make the next person feel belittled. Definitely not how anyone looking to learn or make a big purchase should feel. Personally I had an appointment and arrived 15 mins early, checked in and wasn’t attended to by “genius” till about 45 mins after my appointment, given the staff was super nice to me and I can’t complain about how they treated me while I was being helped but the inconvenience of such a long wait while having a standing appointment is ridiculous to me. I honestly almost just walked out because I seen people walk in after me and were attended to before me. I mean I showed up early to make sure I don’t waste my time or anyone else’s. Like I said before, it’s not my first time at this place and my first experience was fantastic but also every experience after was subpar. The reason I gave a 3star rating was because I don’t feel that they uphold the best standards of a luxury tech company, they have proper knowledge of the equipment that they sell but not a good grasp on customer service and the diversity of the customers that they “serve”, I’m sure at some point in the future I may go back but I highly doubt it as I can just order my products online. Who knows… maybe I may visit again and have a great experience and change my mind but for now they get a solid 3 from me. *store was super clean and organized

I had a great experience yesterday with a smart, efficient, kind and organized employee who stepped out of her floor manager role to expedite my appointment while still staying tuned in to that job. The kind of employee everyone wants to have helping them. Outstanding!

Today I was killed in my most trusted Apple store At noon today, my master said that I went to her most trusted Apple store because my current running speed was a little slow and my master wanted to adjust me to be faster. We were received by a female clerk. After she asked about the situation, she said that she wanted to reinstall the system. My data had been backed up before, so she started to reinstall. During the process, she said that because I was over 10 years old, it would take about an hour. She asked my master if she could wait? My master said no problem. After reinstalling for a while, she should be off work soon.She told me to wait here. After a while, another male clerk came to continue to follow up on my case. We did not see the two of them handing over my situation, and the male clerk did not ask about my situation. The male clerk saw that the program on my computer screen was not running, and it was about 90% completed, and then he pressed the restart button. During this process, the male clerk only asked for my master's contact information, that is, name and email address. As a result, the male clerk restarted and I could not run at all. When I came, it was fine, but it was slow. Now I was killed in this Apple store. I have been with my master for 10 years, accompanied my master through thousands of mountains and rivers, recorded her joys and sorrows in the past 10 years, and turned my master into an Apple fan in the past 10 years. As a result, I was killed by the Apple store she trusted the most today because I dared not come to my side. I came here fine, and I didn't even have other opportunities. I was killed in the Apple store. For 10 years, I have been inseparable from my master. Looking at the computer case and beautiful decorations in my home, my master was clearly sad. Why did the two clerks not hand over my important computer in person during the reinstallation process? The second one, the male clerk saw that the program had not been completed, asked about the situation and restarted it directly. Maybe it is a matter for them to deal with every day, but for my master, this ruined my master's 10 years of companionship. Therefore, my master complained about today's maintenance matters and needs your help.

Really great experience. Genius Bar tech folks were fabulous and patient when helping me getting a phone replacement and transferring all my data. They even called me the next day before sending out my old phone to make sure everything had transferred to my new phone.

The staff were very polite and gave me great advice. I ended up buying a 16e. But I realized that now with ChatGPT, store staff don’t really need to know a lot to answer all kinds of questions — they just need to look it up, haha.

Absolutely the worst Apple Store I have ever been in. I had a set appointment. Waited 30 minutes for a representative to not be able to answer my questions. Save yourself the time and aggravation and look elsewhere because if this poor sales experience is what Apple is selling I can only imagine their help support would be non existent

Great music great vibes. Leaving stars out for Wednesday bartender who has a horrible attitude once he's mad he takes it out on everyone. He never once spoke to me, sat there and told a homeless guy off (cool do what you have to dude) and then yelled at me that he supposedly told me they had no more pbrs and I was pissing him off too and to leave.... all I did was say pbr... punk is punk but taking anger out on random people is whack dude

Very small venue. Not a lot of great places to sit down and enjoy the music. Waited a bit for a bartender to acknowledge me. Also the music was so loud that they couldn't hear my questions at first.

If you love a good bar, with always amazing music, and very cheap tickets/drinks then come here! They always have an amazing experience and fun night, plus the bartenders are super cool! Patty's amazing!

Came through on a run of shows. Im a poppunk musician from Maryland. Bartender was great, Sound was great. Cool atmosphere. My fiancé and I came early to have a few drinks and food while watching a full brass band. Fun times. I played at night and the gentleman running the door for tickets was awful. Extremely rude to myself, friends, the other bands and patrons that came to support the show for no reason. No idea what all of the attitude was about because it put everyone in a crappy mood however the venue was really fun to play at, bartender and gentleman running sound was great. Would definitely revisit however stay away from the grumpy man at the door 🤣

If you want to enjoy some live music, come by. Bartenders are always on point too.

My first time at Cafe Nine was for their incredible jazz open mic on Saturdays. From there, I've been there a few times at various times of the week, and there is always cool music (across genres) and good vibes. It's now my favorite place to go in New Haven! ♥

Always catch great bands here, cool atmosphere and reasonably priced beers with a decent selection. Always a fun time.

I love the Wooster Square Farmers Market on Saturday mornings! The atmosphere is always lively, and it’s a great spot to grab a coffee and enjoy some delicious pizza. There are so many local vendors, you can find everything from farm-fresh products, flowers, and vegetables to fresh fish. Definitely one of my favorite ways to start the weekend!

during the winter time it was a little less crowded and a lot less booths but amazing choices from mushrooms to honey to fresh milk and fresh eggs even Forest raised pork.... Now that summer's come around, it's starting to bustle with the excitement. What a wonderful place and the most the most beautiful flowers

The irony was delicious: In a neighborhood famous for Frank Pepe's and Sally's legendary pizza, you couldn't find a decent tomato. That absurdity sparked what four frustrated Wooster Square neighbors started in 2004 — a farmers market that has quietly become one of Connecticut's most successful experiments in food equity and community development. Twenty-one years later, the CitySeed Wooster Square Farmers' Market occupies the spacious parking lot of Conte West Middle School, its neat rows of white tents stretching beneath mature maples like a temporary village. On a recent overcast Saturday, the market hummed with the unhurried energy of genuine neighborhood infrastructure rather than weekend entertainment. "Whoa, honey, this is good," a customer told me, echoing a Yelp reviewer's rapture over Andrew's Local Wildflower Honey. Andrew Coté, a fourth-generation beekeeper whose urban hives stretch from Westchester to Manhattan's Waldorf Astoria, represents the market's remarkable vendor quality — serious producers, not hobbyists. The Jitter Bus, a converted coffee truck, anchors one end as the unofficial town square. Customers queue for Saturday caffeine while dogs socialize and families browse Seacoast Mushrooms' impressive fungi display. SoNo Baking Co. draws its own loyal following, their tent positioned strategically near the school's covered walkway. This isn't farmers market as lifestyle accessory. CitySeed doubles SNAP benefits for fresh produce, serves 55,000 customers annually, and generated a record $1.58 million for farmers and food entrepreneurs last year. The organization's Sanctuary Kitchen trains refugee women as chefs, creating jobs while expanding New Haven's culinary landscape beyond Italian-American traditions. The COVID-19 pandemic forced the market's move from cramped Wooster Square Park to the school parking lot — a stroke of accidental genius. The paved surface ensures accessibility, wide aisles accommodate strollers and wheelchairs, and vendor setup becomes far more professional. "The neighborhood is not like it was," notes longtime resident Teresa Scarpellino, 95, who witnessed decades of change. But CitySeed has found ways to honor tradition while embracing evolution. In a district where cherry blossoms bloom near century-old pizza ovens, where refugee cooks serve alongside Italian grandmothers, the market embodies New Haven's complex identity. The producer-only policy means everything sold was grown by the person selling it — no resellers or distributors. This stricture, unusual among farmers markets, creates authentic connections between consumers and the land feeding them. By 10 a.m., regulars arrive with reusable bags and shopping lists, their purposeful browsing revealing weekly routines rather than tourist curiosity. Children pet friendly dogs while parents select vegetables from 50-plus Connecticut vendors, many of whom have anchored the market for years. What began as four neighbors' quest for fresh tomatoes has evolved into something rarer: a profitable social enterprise that actually strengthens community fabric. In an era when "authentic" often signals manufactured nostalgia, CitySeed offers the real thing — a market rooted in genuine need, sustained by community loyalty, and expanded through principled growth. As I watched customers stream between tents beneath threatening clouds, nobody seemed worried about rain. This market clearly serves needs deeper than weekend leisure. In Wooster Square, Saturday morning shopping has become Saturday morning belonging.

I've been to Farmers Markets in CO and AZ. I think this one is the best of any I've been to. It has some of the most unique items I've ever seen. The cold soups were great. The pickled items were amazing. I could not believe the variety of mushrooms offered. The unique Ice cream and more.

I really like this farmer market and give the opportunity to small business, you can buy anything fresh like veggies, bread, eggs, meat for a good price. Tip: bring your own bags or small cooler.

Great place to go on a Saturday... Amazing farmers selling fruits, vegetables, food, plants, handmade products, etc. It Changes every week, id definitely recommend any of the CitySeed Farmers markets!

Open air in suer and indoors in winter. Plenty of vendors with plenty of choices. Gets a bit crowded

Beautiful library with stunning Gothic interior and an interesting exhibition of historic pharmaceutic artifacts. The courtyard is an oasis of calamity but it can also get very busy as do the reading rooms which otherwise are a great place to work, relax and learn.

Wow!!! What a beautiful building. Walking around admiring the architecture and history. So much to take in. My favorite part was, as we walked around in take it all in. There are actually students working in the library. So fun.

After the University of Chicago, Yale is my second favourite university in the United States. It’s an incredible place and a must-visit for anyone coming to New Haven for the first time. The architecture is stunning, surrounded by parks and cherry blossoms in spring. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the people are genuinely kind. A place where history, beauty, and culture come together in the best way.

Beautiful architecture inside and out. You can visit it for free during the day. This is an operating library and study area, so please be respectful of the patrons. I have seen guided tours of the building, not sure how often those take place. Also, security will conduct a bag check on your way out.

I loved that Sterling Memorial Library was open to the public—it felt welcoming. The Collegiate Gothic architecture stood out for its vaulted ceilings and stone detailing, but it didn’t feel over-the-top. The stained-glass windows were a nice touch and added visual interest

Wow this building is beautiful! I think it’s gothic. It’s gorgeous, massive, and feels solid. It’s at least a few hundred years old. The inside has intricate architecture, and the ceiling is beautiful and arched and made of wood. If you are here to actually checkout books they have plenty, and many are old which is cool. The place is very quiet.

Last summer had ever walk around here and shortly stay, Today While public libraries are closed on Sunday Here definitely the best option to studying,reading and relaxing perfect library with respect Yale

this urban outfitters has such good stuff! i was about to spend all my money here, no joke. they had a sale when i was there and my bank account completely lost it. the interior is also gorgeous with lots of light. the actual design of the place is better than any of the others i've seen. staff wasn't anything exceptional or outstanding, just nice people. but i thought the actual store was probably one of my favorites.

There’s something abstract about this store. It’s so distinctive from the everyday store; very unconventional more like, from the way the clothes are displayed to the music on the background-very creative. The owner of this store must’ve worked with a very good creative director. I was very pleased when I visited; almost didn’t want to leave. You can feel this aura of calmness and tranquility. I still have a mental picture of the way I was welcomed me as I stepped into store. Their stuff are good and the price is pretty moderate too. There’s also a wheelchair accessible entrance for the differently abled. The store is very close to the road and can be easily seen from a car in normal traffic.

Coming here is a hit or miss for me. I’ve come here straight from work one afternoon, business/casually dressed and was profiled and followed. I ended up leaving without purchasing anything. I returned last week (although I shouldn’t have, but they have suchhhh cute sh!t) and, although there were a great selection of clothes, more size & length variations are needed. None of the associates were engaging or really asking if I needed help until I went into the dressing room to try on a dress and that is when I encountered Mark. Omg you are a star! Super personable and helpful, super charismatic, so soft spoken just a kind guy. So I’ll give it 3 stars because of Mark! Mark if you see this, keep being who you are because you ROCKKKK!!!!

My babygirl needed sweater stop in omg wonderful buy advise parents to stop in visit!! Accessories discount or cheap wonderful product quality store alone had wonderful customer service Perfume selection, smell wonderful quality wonderful I would stop in anytime again. The store is beautiful.

Really limited selection, nothing like the stores in europe. Nice staff though.

One of my fav stores ever. I love coming in here. I love the fact it has an upstairs. I also like the wide variety of products being sold. I enjoy coming in here. I love the customer service and enjoy the atmosphere.

About average for an Urban Outfitters. Not an exceptional level of selection compared to other locations. Similarly designed with lots of light, which is nice. Staff is helpful and pleasant. Main drawback is street parking only since you're in downtown New Haven and they have no bathrooms (even for customers) so you either have to use the bathrooms at the Apple store or Donut Crazy down the street.

As always Jim did a great job on my cut and color. I constantly get compliments from friends —and strangers— about my cut and color. In fact I tracked the number of compliments I received over a 4-week period and I tallied over 50 positive comments. I was amazed at the number of strangers who loved the style.

Brenda always cuts my hair, she knows her way around but she could be more precise about the beard cuts and shape.

I visited twice and found the place closed both times, despite Google showing it as open. It would really help customers if the hours on Google were kept up to date. Please consider updating your schedule to avoid inconvenience.

Great place! Affordable and always a pleasure. Jim and Brenda are kind and fun, and their haircuts are consistently superb.

Brenda was super sweet and helpful with helping me choose the style❤️ Definitely recommend going to her $45 comes with wash and blow dry. She did a good job😩🥰

Brenda is super nice and attentive to your needs. She keeps you entertained while using her hair expertise but does not compromise on what you want for your hair. I really appreciate how she listened to my concerns and suggestions and basically helped me get the eventual style I want. Best thing, she only has wonderful things to say about my hair- definitely a confidence booster!!! For those who might want to know, women’s haircut starts at $45.

I've been going to Brenda for a really long time and she's always done a great job with my hair. She is constantly looking to improve her technique and is persistent in making sure her clients are satisfied. Over the years, I've noticed her do some really great things with my hair. She is someone who takes pride in what she does. If you are a man and get a short hair cut like a fade or a buzz, ask for a razor shave for your neck. It's a nice touch that adds some longevity to a fresh haircut. They do not offer full barber shaves however. The shop itself is quite small. Only two stylists right now. They have also switched to cash only. This is very recent but they try to remind you when you book an appointment.

Store environment is okay, but what makes the overall experience subpar is the fact that staff always feel the need however, to watch over you when shopping which is quite uncomfortable, is definitely profiling and implying that you would steal which is completely unprofessional and unethical. The staff really isn't welcoming by any means unless looking at you like a hawk is their intention in being helpful and relatable?! If I'm being completely transparent the J.Crew brand is by far overrated and extremely expensive; not assessable to everyone and definitely not inclusive. You would have to take out a small loan just to purchase one garment let alone a full outfit which is truly unfortunate! This store needs an overhaul - The staff, the overall setup of the store, not aesthetically pleasing at all, very sterile. The employees should be more welcoming and willing to assist without having preconceived notions, opinions, etc. STOP PROFILING and assuming people can't afford the items in the store. Poor customer service is by far their downfall!

Mostly nice staff but pretty limited selection.

Amazing location, super convenient walk from downtown or Yale. Staff are always very helpful. Had a confusing situation with a gift card, the staff, Megan and Luis, didn't stop until they had it figured out.

Really awful experience. Walked in with my son, husband and I was hauling a wagon too. I was met with a question from the staff that implied we should t be there. Young staff is very rude. I ended up buying shirts because the store had what I needed but they made us feel like we didn’t belong…. Not family friendly for shopping.

The best customer service! The store is always neat and organize staff goes beyond to help you Cindy the manager is awesome! Highly recommend for good customer service and prices. I have shop at JCrew in Georgetown store not once did anyone ask me if I needed assistance. The area where things that are on sale was on the floor area was very messy never seen this in a JCrew store.

J.crew is a reasonable place for clothing for your girl and for yourself..what I like about this place is that they let you look around and never put pressure on you. They also have a good size fitting room and seating available for guests to relax on while you shop..I would recommend this place to anyone looking for that special look....

Walked into J.Crew New Haven Ct . I was immediately greeted by a not so warm welcome...Is there Something I can Help You Find?? Not a Hi How are You ??? I hadn't stepped in a J.Crew in some time normally shop online . Just shopped at Urban Outfitters and Had an amazing experience from the entire staff included the sweet associate who removed a item off the mannequin from me. The fitting room attendant was very welcoming and was patient with my son who found some pieces he loved..As For J.Crew New Haven Ct The staff could have had a great sale from a family looking to shop...J.Crew should train the staff never judge anyone who walks into your location....

I'm a current resident at this place. I love my apartment! I love the location! The staff are nice and friendly too. But, I have been wanting to bring up a few problem regarding the cleanliness and hygiene in our building. Inside my apartment is clean and well kept, but the common areas.... Getting off from the elevator and walking to my apartment - the carpet in the hallway smells like pee. Few weeks ago, there was pee and poop in one of the elevators. I have already raised this issue, when the building people came for inspection, but I have not seen any carpet replacement happening. The stairway is smelly too. I want to host an end of semester party in my apartment. I feel ashamed to invite my colleagues over. I don't want them to get grossed out while walking to my apartment. I like my apartment, I would like to continue staying here. But I would also like, to not have to pinch my nose shut, close my eyes or feel disgusted while taking the elevator and walking to my apartment. I'm sure the building management is aware of these issues. I hope they take necessary actions soon.

I currently live here at ninth Square. The staff is very friendly and I love my apartment, it is spacious, has a washer and dryer, and plenty of storage. However, the lack of consideration from people around, the parking garage gate consistently being broken, and a lack of cleanliness has really taken a toll on my experience here. I live on the fourth floor directly on Orange Street, and the excessive noise from other night square residents is ridiculous. I see tenants come out of the building across the street, set up a giant speaker, and blast music until 3 AM. No one seems to give a shit because there is no security patrolling or enforcement of noise control. But there is constant, excessively loud, music that is always coming from Orange Street, regardless of the time of day. Otherwise, living here would be great, but no one seems to care about their surroundings or own a pair of headphones. The parking garage we pay monthly for on George Street is fine. But the gate beside the ninth Square office that leads you to the parking garage is 50% of the time broken. This being said, you have to walk around the entire building, which adds on more than 10 minutes to your morning routine, which is extremely frustrating considering how much we pay for the parking garage. The cleanliness, is not always a huge issue, and I know ninth square is not at fault for inconsiderate and careless neighbors, but There could be a little bit more maintenance done to the carpets, paint on the wall walls, and doors. Overall, the price to live here is ridiculous. Considering the better options and surrounding areas. I enjoy my unit and appreciate the flexibility of the staff, but I hate listening to Post Malone blasting from a resident who lives on top of until 3 AM on a Tuesday night. I have called the police for noise complaints multiple times, and will continue doing so.

Just moved into Ninth Square and loving my new apartment! The move-in process was smooth and stress-free, thanks especially to Stephen. He was incredibly helpful and made everything easy. Highly recommend Ninth Square, especially if you get to work with Stephen.

I don’t recommend this place. Hygiene of the hallway and stairwells are not maintained, always smells like urine. There are a bunch of safety concerns, they should consider either security or working with the New Haven Alders/city. Here are some examples, people living in the stairwells, packages constantly getting stollen, people following and pushing their way into the buildings. The parking garage isn’t safe either. We pay 9th Square cause they own the parking garage. For some strange reason cars are constantly getting broken into or stollen, people are sneaking into the garage between the hours of 12 and 4pm I know this cause work and come home between those hours and a couple of my neighbors mentioned they’ve alerted the complex and nothing has been done. This isn’t a just a Laz problem it’s a 9th square problem. They also don’t communicate when there are staff changes, so a lot of times it hard to get in touch with someone. I checked out a few of my neighbors apartments in the different buildings. So you have neighbors that have been here a long time and they won’t work with them to update the apartments. Carpet should be change almost every 10 years and they don’t do that. They update the apartments by increasing the rent to get people to move out and then they update the apartment. I spoke with some of the contractors they work with and they even mentioned 9th square will do the bare minimum when updating the apartments. It’s also been brought to my attention James the maintenance man has been in appropriate with some of the women tenants. 9th square has a lot of work to do and the rent they are charging isn’t worth it.

I had such a great experience leasing my new studio! Everything was handled with professionalism and ease, and the entire process was stress-free from start to finish. Huge thanks to STEPHEN OLIVERAS for making it such a smooth and enjoyable experience—I couldn’t recommend him more!

Stephen and Taeah have been amazing and super helpful during the move in process! They really do care about the residents and have been prompt with addressing concerns or questions. The team here is wonderful!

I love it Absolutely beautiful Amazing apartment I wouldn’t move anywhere else Then team is Awesome the Best ever thanx have a great day everyone stay blessed

I first shopped her in the 90s and I haven't stopped. Now that I am a resident New Haven and not just visiting, I find this my go to place for great gifts but also to decorate my apartment. And it always smells so good. Staff is knowledgeable as always. If you can't find it here you may just not need it just yet. Supporting them is a great part of this community.

Ive been stopping into this location for years and mostly because I like the staff. They are so sweet and welcoming. Even when the phone is ringing, I get their undivided attention to help me with what ever product im purchasing. Makes me feel special, (even if the phone is ringing excessively they may ask for me to give them a moment to answer the call) but i respect the attention given to the in-store customer. The manager Shaams has a calming demeanor and is knowledgeable of the product. The information sheets given on the products i purchase i always appreciate. As a woman that has her own business and creates with my own hands, i appreciate hand made pieces like the ones in this shop. Yes things can be pricey, but it's hand made! No one seems to complain about an over price bag from some of these well known designers that are mass produced in factories with no love or care. The amount of work that goes into what i do for my clientele is why i appreciate this place. I know what it's like to put hard work into creating something. The employee Dave is such a sweet heart! He speaks low and calm but it kinda gives this relaxing effect lol. He has learned my name and greets me in a joyful manner which is why i keep coming back. From jewelry, to bags, to their AMAZING cotton robes (which ive also purchased for friends and family) this place is like one of those magic shops in Harry Potter to me. A place that soothes me to walk into, it has an energy all it's own. I hope this place, the manager and staff stay around for years to come. Keep up the amazing work guys! Looking forward to the new decor for the season change.

The smallness of the store belies the great diversity of product--coffee, tea, chocolates, home decor, jewelry, and accessories--offered by Ten Thousand Villages in New Haven. All of the products are fair trade, with orders fully paid to the artisans and farmers (suppliers) at the time of shipment. You can find gifts here from $4 to $400, for ages eight to eighty. It's a fun place to shop and chat with the sales team about international travel and artisan craft. A great place to purchase holiday gifts for the family or a spa set for yourself. One recommend: Beautiful, hand-carved hummingbird ornaments, made from tagua nut--a vegetable alternative to ivory. Elegant and delicate.

This tiny store offers unique fair trade crafts from around the world - jewelry, lighting, household goods, clothing, toys, coffee and chocolate...It is the perfect place to buy a special gift. So sorry to see it is closing! The sign in the window announces an everything must go sale. I will miss it. Shopping online is not the same!

A fair-trade company that puts supports the originating communities from which the products are sourced. We especially like the trio of spice-scented soaps (nutmeg, cinnamon and clove), presented in a lovely draw-string bag perfect for gift giving. Chocolate-lovers should head straight to the selection of fair trade cocoa-based items. Both the mint and dark chocolate bars are good, but the winner is the one with a ginger-lemon-pepper essence. Smooth with bits of crunch. Grab one for a friend, and one for yourself.

I absolutely love the fake review posted from Stacie Smith, which was conveniently posted literally (1) day after my review, I find it ironic how Stacie's review tries to contradict everything I stated in my review with the effort of talking about the store manager by name LOL, the atmosphere, the way in which people are treated and the over pricing of items - this is completely humorous, why post a fake review to contradict what I have to say if you're not guilty of anything? "Very sketchy" And, I know for a fact that this review is fake because the last time Ten Thousand Villages on Chapel Street was reviewed by anyone was approximately 5 months ago. Try again!! I stand by my review.....Manager Shaams is unprofessional, disrespectful, and quite ignorant, at best he IS a Karen! - He feels the need to talk down to people and act as if he's highly educated and above everyone else which is the farthest from the truth! This company/store preaches so much about a global maker-to-market movement that addresses economic injustice yet, you're disrespected and disregarded by staff "pioneering fair trade and putting people and the planet first" is laughable and completely contradictory to the company's vision which is quite alarming and unethical when this company allows their staff to be employed at a store that displays such distasteful behavior! - This store is expensive as hell for basic home goods, etc. that you can get anywhere and yet, the atmosphere and behavior exhibited by staff and the store manager is unwelcoming and very upsetting; take your money elsewhere!! Not worthy of even one star!

Unique, quaint store with an array of handmade artifacts that include jewelry, accessories, home décor, etc. - I have enjoyed my visits to this shop and have spent hundreds of dollars on both, the accessories & jewelry for my Mother because 'she loves one-of-kind items' however, one of the older gentlemen is a bit annoying - he is polite but, reiterates the same questioning as to what you may be looking for, etc. and seems to follow behind you when shopping which I find to be very unnecessary, the other con is the high prices which is a bit much at times...You do have to keep an eye out on the pricing because you will be overcharged and/or gipped if you don't keep a keen eye. Nice store and wonderful vision for the artisans that are assisted through the profits made at Thousand Villages, however better customer service and better pricing would be nice!!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Blue Mercury location at Yale, and I cannot express enough how wonderful my experience was, thanks to Patricia. From the moment I walked in, she was incredibly welcoming and attentive, immediately making me feel at ease. I even called beforehand and she was welcoming before even walking into the store! Patricia's expertise and knowledge about the products were impressive; she took the time to understand my specific needs and preferences, ensuring that every recommendation was tailored just for me. It's clear that Patricia is passionate about her work and genuinely cares about the clients she serves. She goes above and beyond to ensure that every visit is a memorable one, and her dedication to excellence shines through in everything she does. I sincerely hope that her contributions are recognized within the company because she is a true asset to Blue Mercury. Her talent, kindness, and professionalism deserve to be acknowledged, and I look forward to returning for her expert guidance in the future.

Some perfumes don’t have testers and the workers aren’t allowed to open a new box to allow people to test it. I don’t like regretting my purchases so I personally need to smell the perfume before actually buying it.

Quentin provided me with a very satisfying service. He listens carefully to my needs and finds the products I need. He is very knowledgeable about the facial care products offered and provides easy-to-understand information. The Blueberry shop has professional and good products, so it was a fun day to buy them!

I went in about a month ago to buy some standard skincare and was extremely happy with the customer service that I received from Quentin. Quentin was patient, attentive, and had great recommendations. I made sure that on my next makeup haul I would make my way down to blue mercury because I was so pleased with the service (much better than some of the other makeup stores I’ve been to lately). And sure enough I was please yet again, I was lucky enough to be helped by Quentin again. I left with the perfect shade of foundation and some amazing new makeup that I can’t wait to try on :). Quentin is amazing and such a great person to pick out skincare and makeup with.

Amazing service and quality! I worked with Quentin who immediately understood all my makeup requests down to the minute details. He directed me towards products with honesty and knowledge about each one. I definitely felt his commitment to finding me the right product. Recommended!

This store has a bunch of products that I love, but the customer service…lackluster. When I walked in, I wasn’t greeted verbally or even acknowledged. My only interaction with an employee made me feel like I wasn’t welcome in the store. I greeted an employee and she didn’t look up from testing makeup on her hands. She didn’t offer to help me, which is fine, but she still didn’t look at me when I asked her for assistance. I cannot confirm that this was racially motivated, but my sister and I were the only black people in the store. The only other customer was white, and the sales associates were able to have an animated, cheerful conversation with her. Based on my intuition and other reviews citing discriminatory treatment from a blond woman with an attitude problem, I’d encourage other black people to stay away from shopping here. Others are welcome to avoid this store in solidarity!

Quentin is the BEST at listening to what you’re looking for and matching you with a great product. I’m not really a make up girl but Quentin picked out a few products for me that have turned out to be just what I needed. Whenever I pass Blue Mercury I peek in to see if he’s there - that’s how helpful he is!

This is an amazing thrift store! I loved the selections and how there a truly classics - books, clothes, and timeless pieces. I also loved the decor and the accessories! Totally worth it, the items are reasonably priced and well taken of, my favorites are the scar collections.

Store is nicely decorated but items are overpriced and owner is not nice. No welcome or greeting upon entering the store. She had a cold attitude and was too busy pricing items instead of helping to show us items we were interested in purchasing. Will not be going back and wouldn’t recommend unless you want to be treated like you’re not worth the bother.

when i first moved to new haven I got one of my favorite pieces of jewelry there for such a reasonable price. I still wear it every day. the ladies that work there are always so nice too. good place to visit

Beautiful store! I had a wonderful time looking around. It's bigger than it appears from the outside, lots to look at. Such a gem! The owner was so sweet and helpful! I can't wait to go back!

Vintanthro is a must stop for anyone interested in sustainable fashion and high-quality vantage wear. Their shop is an experience in itself with it's colorful and tasteful setup. It's a true treat to look though the racks and find one-of-a-kind clothing. During my visits Victoria has been a wonderful resource for questions about pieces in the store and takes excellent care of all the products. An easy 5 stars ⭐

Since moving to New Haven a couple of years ago, my favorite way to brighten up any day is to visit Vintanthro and see Melissa and Victoria! The shop itself is so cozy and inviting that the pleasure of just looking at all the thoughtful design and organization of the space is enough to convince me to leave my house. Beyond the actual experience of the shop, I love visiting regularly because there are always new featured items from local artisans, great vintage finds, and everyday staples (candles, cards, teas). Vintanthro is my go-to place in New Haven - Melissa and Victoria have made it more of a destination than just a shop and I highly recommend it to anyone!

Really love this place. Friendly staff that is helpful but let’s you do your own thing if you just want to slowly admire everything in this gorgeous store. Lots of silk, linen, leather, wool, and vintage denim. Plenty of stuff that fit me (modern size 14). Truly retail therapy, felt like shopping a friends fabulous closet.

Everything is of high quality and the selection is top-notch and timeless. A lot of their clothes are made in USA or in UK. Fantastic service- very friendly and informed. Really an overall great experience. J. Press is the last of a breed.

This was my first visit to the new J.Press location in New Haven. I frequented the Boston store when it was still open. My first impressions were positive. The storefront was spacious, well decorated and had the same beautiful products. The service was initially a mixed bag. An older gentleman sitting by the door greeted me quite aggressively. He explained the layout of the store while watching something on his phone at an audible volume. I found this very off-putting. You would expect better etiquette when visiting such an established institution. When I went to browse the 2nd floor there was a younger employee who politely introduced himself. He shook my hand, asked for my name and let me browse at my own pace. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. This was the level of service I expected. I had no intention purchasing a sport coat but ended up with a new tweed jacket. It needed a few alterations and we agreed to have it shipped out. The jacket came much earlier than expected and it was perfect.

Jpress, particularly the wares and the wonderful staff at the New Haven shop is among the best outposts for quality, stylish, well-made menswear across the Northeast. Along with their own goods, the store carries Alden, Baracuta, along with a perfectly curated and exactingly produced accessories. (Folks may not know they also sell Orslow denim and have an excellent selection of collabs with the likes of Buck Mason.) I've been shopping there for many years. I will say that though I enjoy Jpress's tailoring, I enjoy the buying experience as much. Certainly the customer service and advice on the goods has helped me come back to Jpress, in particular back to the New Have store, time and again. I submit that Carl Casuga, my go-to-Jpress staff member--is among the best menswear experts out there. He makes the process of trying on and buying Jpress's excellent goods so simple and so rewarding. May Jpress continue on this path. May it support and reward good folks like Carl and Brian.

The Model American conservative men’s clothing store. Sets the example and raises the bar in execution, style, quality and service. Particularly in its ability to stock seldom seen traditional items which would be difficult to find or custom tailored at high cost here or abroad.

My husband and I have been in the shop a few times, never any pressure to buy, but hard to resist the colorful, high quality clothing. The displays are always neat, 'not in your face' and it was spacious enough for me to walk around while my husband browsed for some clothes. We had the pleasure of working with Carl for a new suit. It was by far the best customer service we've experienced. From being well dressed to having great knowledge and attention to detail, it was the perfect shopping experience. The finished product was perfect and we thank him for being able to ship it on such short notice.

Great store, clean, with knowledgeable staff. A welcoming environment with well made clothing, that will last for years to come. They have great options for a sophisticated casual look, to a very dressy black tie affair.

Beautiful store with a gorgeous collection of clothing. Staff is super friendly and very helpful.

Tom, I just wanted to thank you again for your excellent customer service, Your such a pleasure to work with. I was so pleased with the style and fit of the suit that you recommended for me. See you soon.

The folks at Raggs are by far the most professional, thoughtful, and knowledgeable experts in garments and fashion I have ever encountered. I am young professional that is relatively clueless on men's business professional wear and was also on a relatively limited budget. Every suit I have left Ragg's with has been expertly and timely tailored, and the input of the staff has been invaluable. Tom and his staff have curated an exceptional selection of both men's and women's clothes ranging from casual weekend wear to top-tier suits. Whether you're a New Haven local or visiting alum, if you're in the market for fine clothes with phenomenal service, I'd strongly recommend Raggs.

I moved to the New Haven area in 2015 and was in search of a new tailor. I found the Theory brand at Raggs and have been buying from Tom Maloney (owner) ever since. He is personable, very knowledgeable about the industry, keeps a close tab on what is in fashion, and makes sure the selection in his store reflects current trends. Over the years I have gone in to see him and seek advice on what to wear for work, formals, and other special occasions and he has always delivered and been pleasant to work with. Tom is passionate about his trade and is a real asset to have in New Haven. I highly recommend Raggs and hope other people will stop in and support this excellent small business owner/operator.

Amazing customer service! I procrastinated on figuring out a suit for an event, and before I knew it, it was the day of and I didn't have a single suit that fit me. I went down to Raggs and had a suit ready to go, back from the tailor, in a couple hours. Not only that, but it's now my favorite suit and I look and feel great in it!

The best place for men’s fashion in New Haven… great dressy and casual clothes And superb service and advice… Women’s clothes too!

If you’re looking for something unique, need to alter your wardrobe or need a knowledgeable fashion consultant with the latest trends in men’s wear - Raggs is the place to go. I have been shopping at Raggs since 1996 and until this day, I always leave the store with something. Wonderful customer service and a great selection of men’s clothing. I would recommend stopping by this store and supporting this local business.

My boyfriend and I went to find matching suits, Wow on an experience well unexpected, great services, welcoming unjudged bias. We don't normally wear this attire but we were going to a Graduation on short notice:Googled men and women attire wear and found Raggs, his knowledgeable experience second to none were by just looking at you, he knows already what to pick out for you; plus bring you out of your comfort zone and have a outfit you never dreamed of. The experience was amazing and the professionalism of his career was a person who took his career to his high standards. We walked out satisfied and in complete comfort with our outfit from no other then the owner himself ; RAGGS MEN AND WOMEN WEAR!!! SHOUT OUT, Janet & Carlos!! 💙💚💜

I needed to get a suit tailored for a wedding and decided to support black business by going to Neville. I had walked past the shop many times and was intrigued because they have some really unique designs that look awesome in front of the store, but had never heard about their tailoring ability. Upon entering the shop, I was greeted kindly and had a chance to work with the tailor on the suit. I gave my specifications and things that I wanted to be done. When we went to the cash register, I was shocked that the job would cost $200. But since I went through the process, I obliged and paid the fee that was offered expecting a great product and result. Unfortunately, when I received my suit, it was unpressed, there were detailing errors and it was not fit to wear for the wedding that I hoped to have it for. In my opinion, after my experience, I would recommend going to this studio to see the designs that they have on display. I would not recommend going there to get a suit tailored or a similar piece created. After my experience, I believe that it is better to go to a place like K&G in Orange, Connecticut to get your suit tailored for a third of the price and three times the quality. As I stated earlier in my review, the people who work there are very kind, but the competence to tailor your clothing and at an affordable price, is lacking.

I would not recommend getting items tailored at this shop. Their work is incredibly sloppy and unprofessional. I went in to get one pant, one skirt and one top tailored. I needed one pant hemmed, one skirt taken in at the waist and one top taken in at the straps as the straps were too long. The shirt’s hemming was done jagged and too short. The tailor took in the top too high and did not even cut his fabric when he was taking in the strap, he just folded over the strap and sewed. So now on this shirt there is this inch think bulge where he “tailored” my shirt. I could have done that. The worst was the skirt I requested be taken in at the waist. Instead of taking in the skirt at the seam (cutting the fabric that needed to be removed at the waist and then stitching the seam back up), the tailor added darts where no darts had been. The worst part was that he didn’t even bother to add real darts. Instead, he used the same method as the shirt and just folded the fabric in on itself and sewed. Due to that, the waistband of the skirt was uneven and bulged out where he added the darts. After I pointed this out, he removed the darts and then handed back the skirt to me, not taken in at the waist but as it was originally. I asked for a refund only on the skirt and he refused to give it to me. He also insisted that he told me he planned to add darts and I said he did not. He said he would have charged $250 if he had known I wanted this mini pencil skirt taken in at the waist along the seam. Please avoid this place.

I really hate doing this but this service/apparel purchase was unacceptable. Ii placed my order on April 25, expecting an early June delivery for a girl's trip. Called and spoke with the shop on the first of June expecting to receive it by June 9 at the latest because my trip was June 14th. I just received the item today, yes September 1 over 4 months for a delivery!!!! If they're just starting out buyer beware. I'm out of state and have no recourse for a resolution because they don't refund your money. I paid for a luxury item and all I got was an example of something that I may have purchased from China and with worst quality because it doesn't even fit. I really tried to support a small minority business but if I send it back will it take another 4 months?? I paid almost $400 for a horrible lesson in supporting the culture.

I bought three masks from Neville Wisdom. They were quickly mailed and are very high quality. Their most recent models protects my beard in a very neat way. Moreover, they sent a really nice hand-written thank-you note with their masks. They are an amazing local business.

Neville Wisdom fashion designs is one of a kind and made to order he is a great seamstress and designer come to the store to see for yourself. A beautiful and quiet atmosphere on the upper part of westville.designer for all occasions.

Reasonable pricing, attention to detail and no attempt to make bogus alterations for a bigger ticket. Wonderful atmosphere

Very nice designs and designer!

I recently stopped in at Lou Lou for the first time during the Yale App. & Dessert crawl and it was a great experience. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I found a pair of very comfy and fun slippers, as well as some beautiful earrings! The shop is full of cute gifts, women's accessories, and fun kids items. I'll definitely be back.

The store is much larger than it appears up front so there were a lot of items to select from. The staff were lovely and there were a lot of gift items to curate/select from,

I went to make a return and the manager, I’m assuming, jumped in immediately and got snarky with me about their return policy, which is exchange or store credit only. The other associate was very sweet but the manager was rude and extremely unpleasant. I had the necklace (which was overpriced and not very cute) less than a week and I disagree with the policy but the way I was treated was unacceptable and despite being a local I won’t ever be shopping at any Lou Lou location again, and I will make certain no one I know does, either. Do better, especially that specific manager. I’m in customer service and we would never treat someone that way.

I was in the store today and purchased a necklace. Upon returning home and taking it out of tissue paper saw that the necklace and shells on it were discolored. I immediately called the store and wanted a replacement but was told they didn’t have another one and I could only receive store credit instead of a refund. I was told by the manager if she had noticed it was discolored before she sold it to us she never would have sold it. She said store policy is only store credit which normally I would understand however the $55 necklace was defective. I could not believe how an exception couldn’t be made given the necklace was discolored which was not visible with the store lighting. SUCH BAD BUSINESS!!!!

This store has hand made jewelry are so beautiful cute🥰 and other little stuff . But if your a curvy or please size person don't even bother to shop for clothes here because they don't have it . This is in New Haven you think they change this because not everyone in new Haven are super small . I believe in yall Lou Lou put up them cute plus ➕ sizes and get someone that knows real cute plus size fashion not that old ugly stuff lol 😹 . Much love Lou Lou y'all got this 🥰😀

I am OBSESSED with this place! There is something exciting to find everywhere you look. I visit New Haven annually and always set aside at least an hour to visit Lou Lou because it takes several laps around the store before I even see everything. I get tons of compliments on the accessories I buy there and it’s always a really pleasant place to shop. Kira, the manager, is helpful and attentive. It is one of my most favorite shopping destinations and I look forward to it far in advance. The prices are affordable, the pieces are long-lasting and there are styles for every taste. My only complaint is that their website is not updated enough so I can buy from them even when I am far from New Haven!! I could not recommend Lou Lou in New Haven highly enough!! It is a MUST visit destination when in New Haven.

Lou Lou Boutiques has quite an array of jewelry, fashionable accessories, knickknacks, etc. I have made several purchases and have enjoyed all the items including those that I gifted to loved ones; nice options, polite staff, great savings with the student discount, nice packaging when requested, a bit pricey depending on what you purchase but, overall a good experience!!

The jewelry is artwork that can suit any mood. Once I buy a piece for the girlfriend, I want to going with all the designs. The clothes you have to see for yourself; all top notch. The snuggly pj's were a big hit.

Cute boutique with unique, artisan finds - recently purchased a pair of earrings which I'm quite fond of; a bit pricey throughout, but overall nice store!

I love this shop. Many of my best clothes come from here, and they kind of formed my style. Wonderful selection of unique clothing.

Bought a cool pair of earrings from this boutique for my birthday. They're lovely.

Quality clothing and accessories. Expensive, but "you get what you pay for," and you're worth it! Treat yourself!

A hidden gem

Great fresh produce and eggs. Worth the trip 100%.

City Seed is a fantastic Farmer's Market. It has many vendors, and types of foods that are of fantastic quality, and you usually get to meet the people who grow what you buy. Most people who shop at farmer's markets do so because they can afford to. The items are usually of top shelf quality, and it shows in the prices that these local farmers, who do not operate under the same conditions as say...Monsanto, or your local mega mart shopping center. I am not one of those people, after years of living comfortably my health has declined, and I am now receiving food stamps to supplement my need for food. City Seed matches $10.00 of tokens with $10.00 of your EBT/snap card. I can't tell you how important it is to be able to get fresh foods of this quality, and be able to effectively get $20.00 of produce and items for $10.00 of my EBT monthly credit. It makes it a VALUE, and I get to eat GOOD foods, fresh grown locally. It is hugely important, and many people who otherwise would never be able to buy at a farmer's market, now can. But, I liked it just as much when I wan't recieving SNAP benefits too...go there, it's awesome. And the different locations, have different vendors, so it's worth a shop around, the cheeses are incredible. Thank you.

The food here is delicious and I love that it is attached to a positive mission!

A well kept time capsule. Wonderful vintage items all taken care of and clean! The store is way bigger than I imagined with multiple sections and very well organized. Most items had tags (wish more vintage stores did this) and the staff is very helpful! The clothing section was my favorite one there was so much stuff to pick from.

An authentic vintage store! Lots of unique and affordable items well curated.

What a wonderfully magical store! This store had something for everybody and you just knew that each item had a good story behind it. Great vintage clothing collection and I especially loved the vintage art supplies they had available. Very cool. The individual working there was very kind and helpful.

Such a cool store! So much to see & something for everyone. Caution: shopping here could be HIGHLY addictive!

The cutest vintage store owned by the sweetest lady. When my girlfriend and I walk around new haven we always stop by too see what new antiques they have here. We've procured some delightful pool balls and postcards and is our go to spot to buy some unique gifts for friends and family. The store is very big with a lot of options with very friendly staff (outside of just the owner)

Great place for random vintage goodies. Friendly service too!

This vintage/antique shop is a hidden gem in New Haven! Lots of fun things to look at and it's always a fun trip.
