One World Roasters — Restaurant in East Haven

I've been driving past this spot for over a year now every morning on my way to work - And every time I've been intrigued by it. It looked so small, and I never seemed to see more than one or two cars in the parking lot.

I'm a huge sucker for small business' and I panic internally when I notice one seems less busy than their corporate counterparts would be at that time, because I personally wish more small business' were able to thrive around here. It hurts me to see people put their time, efforts and money out there, and get nothing in return and end up having to close down what once was their dream.

I finally stopped in this morning for an iced coffee - I typically get cold brew but I guess they don't do it this time of year. So I settled on an iced coffee with an espresso shot (I like strong and flavorful coffee) I was pleasantly surprised to find that their iced coffee with an espresso shot held more boldness and taste than a dunkin cold brew with an espresso shot. The coffee itself had delicious chocolate notes, but not bitter chocolate like an overly roasted coffee bean. He also uses coffee ice cubes so big points for that.

The shop itself is very small, but so quaint, cozy, and quiet. He has it set up and decorated very well. The music is also calm acoustic versions of popular songs. A good amount of merch for purchase to get focus on who they are, but not overwhelming. It gives you "having coffee at your friends apartment" vibes. Also, not full to the brim with loud people all rushing to get their coffee before work. Just a nice calm and quick morning coffee stop.

Very clean inside, and the menu is really simple to understand and not clunky, which I appreciate since I usually find that most individually owned coffee shops tend to have really large, loud, clunky, in your face hand written menus that make me stressed out and want to leave LOL.

He was very kind, and instead of your usual "thank you have a great day" (if you're lucky enough to even get that at one of the chain places) it was a "thank you for stopping in today" which holds much more value to me, and shows that he appreciated me coming in and supporting his business.

Thank you for a great cup of coffee to start my Friday! My next stop will be coming by to sit outside on the patio the first warm...

A coffee oasis that you want to check out! One World’s robust coffee menu has a lot of offerings including their permanent specialty latte options as well as their rotating seasonal menu. They roast in-house and focus on high-quality coffee for their shop, wholesale and online ordering. You can pick from many single origins, blends and espresso options. Owners Eric and Christine take the time to educate you about coffee and anything you want to know about it. They take pride in crafting great drinks and can give some great recommendations! They offer a tea garden patio, a labyrinth for walking meditation, and fountains. When it comes to their menu, they rotate their different blends including one of their top sellers, the Worldly Blend. I LOVED trying two of their specials: Strawberry Nutella Iced Coffee and the Banana Cream Cold Brew. While visiting, there were multiple customers raving about their drinks too—you won’t be disappointed with any option you pick! They also frequently offer education events, in house tastings and other paired wellness combinations worth checking out.

One World Roasters Cafe is a coffee lover's dream in East Haven! The high-quality, ethically sourced coffee is a true standout, with incredible single origins, delightful espressos, and perfectly crafted blends. The seasonal coffees are also a nice touch! I'm a fan of their espressos, but the iced americano steals the show for me.

The staff is exceptionally friendly, making each visit a pleasant experience. We always make it a point to stop by when we're in town, but be sure to get there before noon as they usually close early. The shop is small with limited seating so not the best place to hang out.

One World Roasters Cafe has become our go-to spot for exceptional coffee to go and friendly vibes...
