Blue State Coffee

The is definitely a college town coffee shop. Although not as expensive as Starbucks, the price is steep. But, the quality of the coffee is superb. So unless you're looking for a name brand just so you can say you had " Starbucks" this is where you'd want to be. The staff is precise and quick. Stop by for a cup you be feeling great in no time

Love blue state coffee but there is always an issue at this location at York street. Try to visit any of their other locations in new haven because their coffee is really good. Again we got the wrong order here, waited another 10 min until it got fixed. I get my beans from here too, which were forgotten so I had to wait another 10 min until someone was available to grind them. I asked for fine ground for an espresso machine but that didn’t work either and I got coarse coffe grinds... 16$ beans that I won’t be able to use for my espresso machine. Love their coffee and beans but we will avoid this location

Quite frankly, I used to love this establishment; the environment and coffee of course. However it seems like since COVID-19 hit NHV hard, they haven't been able to recover. The coffee has been tasting burnt for months even though it was brewed minutes prior. Daily I witness the baristas being overworked in poorly maintained conditions. Literally the poor barista was standing in a nest of flies as she was trying to serve. The staff always has a great attitude despite the circumstances. There's no mandatory breaks for those poor individuals as well as alot of health hazards circling the place. Overall, shame on the owner for letting it get to this.
