I second Willoughby’s. I’m a French roast addict and they’ve been my top choice for 20 years. They are super local but internationally recognized. Hey have a great variety and good bulk tea as well. They have regular or water process decaf and organic and not. They source their beans from all the great coffee regions in the world from farms they even seem to sometimes visit in person, and they don’t price gouge and aren’t “ precious,” just serious about coffee

Convenient to Hamden-a straight shot down Whitney Ave to their New Haven Church St(Whitney) location
