It's how a cafe should be. Great coffee, delicious small bites, spacious and bright with art from local artists. We ordered flat white, latte and dirty chai, all of them were amazing. The latte was the best with perfect balance of coffee and milk where you can taste the mild acidity of coffee without it being bitter. The flat white was great too, a tiny bit too hot but tasted amazing after it cooled down slightly. Dirty chai is essentially fall in a cup. Loved the sweet cinnamon touch. Each drink is served in a unique handmade ceramic mug, adding more character to the drink. We were lucky to find the bus parked in the lot. It was fun to see how well it's arranged. Highly recommend for anyone who is visiting New Haven.

Just off I-91 and I-95 in New Haven, this little coffee shop was a perfect spot for a morning coffee and scones before heading to IKEA. Staff was super chilled, local folks came and went, some taking the time to sit and chat. Seems to be dog-friendly. Highly recommended.

This Jitter Bus Coffee Shop is a very cool place to hang out. You will surely enjoy their excellent Coffee and the sandwiches they offer. Not to forget their Brownies and delicious Cookies. Their price is so reasonable for a very good Coffee and healthy Sandwiches. Customer Service is par excellence! You’re doing a great job, The Jitter Bus! Keep it up!

​If you want to know the secret to changing the world, apparently it’s a mix of brilliant determination and the perfect caffeine fix from Jitter Bus. ​This isn't just the best coffee in New Haven; for us, it’s a landmark. Years ago, my girlfriend was "just a girl in a coffee shop," buried in books and dreaming of a future more beautiful and grand. Today, she’s a Yale alumni that has her own laboratory there and novel discoveries to her name. The staff here saw her through every grueling study session and breakthrough and breakdown.. getting her order damn near perfect every single time. (A couple are still learning) It’s the best little sentimental spot in the city. I’m even inquiring about a permanent tab, or monthly membership for my "Coffee Queen", if theyll keep my cc on file, because

The Jitter Bus cafe is a great place to meet up with friends (and make new ones), chat with others, or work by yourself! Each time I have popped in, the staff has been beyond kind, the service exceptional, the atmosphere comforting, and the fellow customers friendly. The drinks are always great and the food menu is simple but high quality! I highly recommend popping in here whether you intend to stay for a while or opt for take out.
