I love this restaurant's great opening hours, especially on Sundays when they open earlier than most coffee shops. It's a cozy spot with plenty of seating to enjoy a drink, snack, and read a good book. They even have a special vegan chai for non-coffee drinkers. When I asked about vegan baked goods, the kind gentleman behind the counter gave me freshly baked muffins that were absolutely delicious. View all feedback.

I have loved Book Trader for years! They are a wonderful New Haven fixture a great independent bookstore with a veg friendly cafe. The big cafe room is made of windows, like eating in a greenhouse, and you're surrounded by books! On nice weather days, take advantage of one of New Haven's rare outdoor patios and people watch on Chapel Street. The menu has had 2 vegetarian sandwiches forever: Vonnegut's (roasted) Veggies, which could be vegan if you hold the brie; and the Tempesto, a quite nice tomato mozz sandwich. They've recently added a vegan option, the Feast of Eden lentil quinoa veggie burger, which I have not gotten to try but have high hopes for. The (non vegan) brownies are also Amazingly good and as big as your palm. Homemade iced tea and OJ are good drink options. Super cute cozy bookstore cafe, surrounded by books on a charming part of Chapel Street. A winner!
One of my favorite places to stop while in New Haven. I always walk out with a unique book or two.
I love it here! Great place to read and have coffee. I get most of my books here. Great variety!
Great atmosphere and service and vegan options! P.S.: Thank you for playing Fiona Apple songs.
