I have really mixed feelings about Atticus. I've coming here since I was little so it has a special place in my heart. That being said, I'll start off with the good. I love their black bean soup! They...

My favorite will always be the black bean soup, which comes with sour cream and onions in it. They also give you a generous portion of bread and butter with it. The salads are fresh....they keep...

The only reason this place doesn't get 5 stars is that the service is very slow. Otherwise, they make a great sandwich with, of course, their delicious bread. I'm also a big fan of the black bean...

The bookshop coffeshop/cafe idea is really cute, but don't try to get lunch here during the week unless you are prepared for a loooooooong wait.

This place is "a-okay." They have free wireless and parking right outside their front door. To be honest, I didn't try the food and I'm judging this place as a coffee shop. However, at $7-$9 a...

Over rated. It's a nice place if you don't have a car and live downtown. But there are better places around New Haven (for both books and food) if you are willing to venture a bit on four wheels.
