Kaiyden's - New Haven

It was my second try here, the first time for a cup of cappuccino and the second time for chocolate and almond croissants.The quality of the coffee was ok, but they gave me a huge cup instead of a regular, 6 oz cup.The croissants… it was evident they were just bad only by looking at them, but then I thought I was being too picky and got them anyway. Not fresh, with no flaky layers, and it’s like they have wrapped the ingredients in a flatbread. Disappointing.

Love this place. Everyone there is like family and always so kind and nice. The Barista there MacKenzie makes the best drinks. My favorite drink is Chai tea latte with a cheese pastry. Love telling my coworkers about Kaiyden's coffee.

Love this place! They allow dogs and are so kind to my dog. The coffee and pastries are great.

I can meet friends in a comfortable environment. Love this spot!

It's awesome having this spot in a part of New Haven that's more residential. That being said, on a weekday late morning, it took an ungodly amount of time to get two coffees. We had to snag macarons to hold us over. I suppose that's not a terrible problem to have.The team was apologetic and yet managed some orders in what seemed to be out of order.My flat white was good, but I'm not sure I'd say it was worth the wait.I'll come back and try this spot again sometime.
