Best cup of coffee in CT. I have been going here for coffee for about 15 years now, off and on. The off times were when I lived out of state, of course. A better cup of coffee you won't find anywhere, and the atmosphere is just great- real people, not pretentious coffee house snobs. Which is weird, because the proprietors have every right to be all snobby about their coffee and the people who drink it- it beats Starbuck's by a mile. Good, genuine down-to-earth people, excellent coffees, antiques up the wazoo, in addition to new merchandise and a small snack section, the Coffee Trade is what a coffee house SHOULD be. It's a shame there's only one, though if they were everywhere it wouldn't be the same.

Oh and if you're lucky you'll stop by when they're roasting beans- they roast ALL their blends onsite in an antique roaster. It's really neat to see it done- try getting that experience at Dunkin' Donuts!
