Yelp.com Review - by Sasha B.

3.0 of 5 stars. 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...

5.0 of 5 stars. The food has always been consistent - great sandwiches, great soups, nice selection of tea and now awesome truffles - but the BEST thing is the quality of the bookstore. Nice displays to choose from,...

Yelp.com Review - by Becky S.

4.0 of 5 stars. 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...

3.0 of 5 stars. 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...

2.0 of 5 stars. 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.
