Cantean — Restaurant in Hamden

My husband and I were in town in business, googled “best coffee place nearby”, and Cantean popped up with excellent reviews. We were charmed by the easy, comfortable vibe walking in, and by the friendly greeting we received. We decided to share a sandwich, which turned out to be substantial and scrumptious: plenty of ham and Brie with a nice thick layer of fresh spinach, on a wonderful Peasant bread.

I said have a nice day and no reply. If two extremely small coffees are going to cost over 7.00 a smile goes a long way . Won’t return . Too many other awesome places in Hamden to waste time at a place where you don’t...
