Loved it! Everytime I drive to new haven, I remember why I hate driving to new haven. The traffic, the parking, the meters, the 1-way streets! Ugh! But this little place just might have given me a reason to come back. I met up with my workout crew on a Thursday night. The place was lively, but not overly crowded. We ate in. So you order, pay, sit, and they call your name and drop to you at your table. When you're done, you're responsible to bus your own table. It's really quaint and unique shop. Great spot to just have tea, treats and people watch thru the windows! The menu is very vast, but I narrowed it down and settled worth the burger and salad. That's ANY burger they offer, with ANY salad they offer. I got the bbq burger with the arugula salad. I also got the hibiscus/lemon/ginger tea. Let me tell you, that meal was bangin! And ya girl was FULL... but I did still get my full behind up to get dessert. I got an oatmeal raisin cookie and a vanilla cupcake with chocolate frosting. Didn't break the bank either. Told my girls we definitely have to go back! Never thought I'd be saying that about new haven.

Very busy and long line. Most good was great except the burrito which was dry and black beans seemed undercooked. But this review is to highlight why I gave it 5 stars. Food was great +5 stars. Burrito was not good -1 star. Service was slow -1 star. Ton of vegan options +1 star. Been here for more than 20 years. +1 star. 5 stars! My review will add a flavor of nostalgia. I graduated in 1999 this place was already here! (It opened way back in 1975 i think??) I had already been vegan for some time but i only went one time and it was good. So why didn't I frequent here whilst matriculated? Bc i was poor as dirt!! I remember coming in here and I got the least expensive item on the menu and sheepishly thought to myself - "one day I'll be back and I'll be working so I can get anything I want... maybe I'll have a wife then.. maybe a family.. just be patient. " Well my friend, 23 years later, THIS was THAT day. Brought my family of four and ordered a great vegan feast. So +5 stars for fulfilling my pre graduating dreams! 😀 I know how hard the restaurant business is and here they are. Hats off

Claire’s has been a staple cozy vegetarian/vegan cafe in the heart of Yale campus! It’s been open since the 70’s & while in the area I had to visit! Adorable vibe & decor. There was a massive line which took a bit longer than planned but I waited it out to try their vegan desserts. Well worth the line! They have a unique set up where everyone (take out, coffee orders, sit down dining) all order at the front- which may of been part of the line build up. Totally worth it however! Just come preparing for a decent wait at this popular cafe. Their desserts are beautiful! Perfectly set up & organized by a vegan side & dairy side. Everything is clearly labeled. Love that. I got the vegan pumpkin whoopee pie to go & it was SO good! Super moist, thick, dense. Perfect pumpkin flavor completed with sweet vegan frosting. 😍 I heard so many amazing things about their vegan desserts & I get the hype! I am sure their actual food is wonderful. Everything I saw at folks tables looked just as delicious as the baked goods but I only had time for a snack to go!

I regret not having any room in my belly for anything other than a chai during my visit to Claire's while in New Haven. Everything looked delicious!

Vegetarian, cheese-lover & sweet tooth’s dream. The Lithuanian coffee cake is the signature dessert.
