Best cronut ever!! Great atmosphere! Even the other customers were awesome. Will definitely make this a weekly stop. Got some sliced bread - Josephine? (the whole wheat sour dough)

I stop in on Saturdays for a crème croissant and caffe mocha on my way to work. Everyone working there is friendly and knowledgeable. It's a great place and smells so good!

my first time trying a square croissant, but it was okay. underwhelming because it tasted like it had been sitting out for quite a bit, but the vibes in cafe were really nice, a lot of seating for both studying and chatter

I appreciate and love the consistency at the G Café bakery on Orange Street. From the gentleman at the register to the quality and quantity of fresh food, everything is welcoming and delicious. The ingredients are top quality, and the finished presentation is appetizing and healthy. We had avocado toast with a nice garnish selection of cheese, tomato and greens. One of us ordered poached eggs and the other had scrambled and both were accompanied by a good size serving of bacon. Kudos to the chef as everything was served hot and cooked to perfection. We couldn't leave without also purchasing a cranberry walnut bread and a brownie. This is a well organized, professional establishment with the WOW factor that is a joy to support. Keep up the great work!

This cafe is one of my fav's in New Haven! The owner are lovely, community minded decent people and that is important to me when I am choosing restaurants to support regularly. Great coffee! They keep it fresh all day. My goto Americano with hazelnut syrup and room for cream. I attended a function for a local nonprofit and the freshly baked breads, pastries, and veggie quiche are most of my hard choices! I have tried all of those over time and endorse all! There is a great breakfast and lunch menu. This is a real gem in downtown New Haven! I love that the space has indoor and outdoor seating options! I love that their are enough outlets to encourage getting some work done with a great cup of coffee and a treat.

Lots of seating area both inside and outside. Unfortunately does not have WiFi. But great spot to meet with a friend or do some reading and disconnect from the internet. Service was great and coffee was delicious. Loved the decor as well

I'm pretty much obsessed with G cafe and this Orange Street location is hands down my favorite one! The ambiance is so nice here and the staff members are always so friendly and warm. This location is pretty spacious with plenty of table tops and high top counter space to get work done or grab a bite with friends. I also love all the plants and decor at this location. It gives the place such a fun feel that goes perfectly well with the overall atmosphere. It's such a cute place to visit and conveniently located right in downtown New Haven. The pastries are delicious at all the G Cafe locations, but I recently tried the pumpkin bread muffin at this location and it was moist, flavorful and so so good! I got the muffin toasted and it was truly such a treat! It made getting work done a little more enjoyable.

ORIGIN: Christian Fedora and Andrea Corazzini opened their first cafe in Branford, expanding to several locations since, including this one in New Haven. LOCATION: This cafe is located in downtown New Haven in the ground floor of the historic Palladium Building, with a quiet outdoor courtyard that is perfect on warm days. CONCEPT: G Cafe brings European baked goods to Connecticut, as well as well-executed versions of American classics, such as brownies and cronuts. EXPERIENCE: G Cafe is the kind of bakery for which you feel compelled to return to try all it offers. TIPS: Olive bread is available on Saturdays and can't be missed. German Stollen is prepared and wrapped in paper and ribbons in December... perfect holiday house gift.

1/1 Ambience; 1/2 Food; 1/1 Service; 1/1 Value The cafe is lively and warm, with a very New England college town charm. The cafe was busy on a weekend morning, but the staff was friendly and kept the line moving quickly. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. There is an extensive and impressive selection of pastries and breads. My friend and I shared a pain au chocolate, a slice of the gateau basque, a coffee and hot chocolate. The beverages were fresh and the pain au chocolate was nice and flaky, although there was very little chocolate inside. It was the first time trying gateau Basque for the both of us, so we don't have a point of comparison. It was super dense, the custard had a mild sweetness, and there was a warm aftertaste due to the spices in the pastry. If it wasn't shared between two people, it is unlikely either of us would have finished the slice for breakfast. Overall, this was a nice, filling and satisfying breakfast with quality foods and beverages!
