"Found Kaiyden's while in town to drop daughter off at Yale. This coffee house is cozy and eclectic. The Barista was friendly and gracious and made our drinks just right. Our daughter, not a coffee drinker, tried the lavender honey latte and loved it. They serve a wide array of hot and cold drinks, pastries, smoothies and more. It is near Wooster Square, street parking available. The owner was in the 2nd day we visited and stopped by to greet us and chat. It appears to be a good hang out spot for students and business people alike. I recommend this charming neighborhood spot."

"Nice coffee place. Impressive selection 😳 we had a strawberry matcha, pineapple chai & Vietnamese coffee ☕️ They have sugar free options too ✊ I saw dog biscuit 🐶 Books for kids 📕 Next to the beautiful park. We will stop by again next time we are in New Haven 🤝"

"Where do I begin. I guess I'll start with a headline for those who aren't interested in my many deep, warm feelings about Kaiyden's Coffee Shop: a third place in New Haven's Wooster Square neighborhood where you will find both caffeine and community. They open on holidays so that we all have a place to go. They welcome babies and dogs. They fight crime. How can I explain this? It started off like any relationship you have with your local coffee shop; we spotted the shop under construction, and waited with enthusiasm for a place we could become regulars. Once they opened, we'd visit and get a coffee or a chai and go for a walk. Later we learned the name of one of the owners, and we'd stop and say hello. Soon, his wife started working there more often, and we got to know her as well. I became pregnant, and I'd stop in for a decaf before lumbering around the park. It was when I had my baby that Kaiyden's really became an extension of our home; with so many family members visiting from out of town, we relied heavily on Kaiyden's as a place to convene. My husband would bring the baby out in a bassinet when she was just days old, and our family would hang out at the outside tables or in the park drinking Kaiyden's coffee and eating pastries while baby gazing. Someone called Kaiyden's the neighborhood living room, and that description couldn't be more accurate. All through our parental leave, Kaiyden's was the place that we went when we needed to get out of our apartment. We became regulars, our baby included. Chidi and Shawna always made us feel so welcome and were so kind to us and to our daughter. We made friends with the baristas and other customers, some of whom came into the shop directly from their apartments elsewhere in the building, like you might come down to breakfast from your bedroom. The first time our baby crawled, it was to reach a Kaiyden's coffee cup. Her first cookie ever-- an important milestone for any child!-- was enjoyed at the Kaiyden's counter. As she grew, she learned that Kaiyden's was a safe place with kind people who would talk with her and welcome her. I didn't know where our village was going to come from as parents, but to my surprise, we found it all around us; one of those places was Kaiyden's. Are you in a rush for your coffee? Are you expecting something very specific from your latte? Try the Starbucks up the road; that's not why you're here. Are you looking to warm your hands, belly, and heart? You're in the right place. So little in this world is pure goodness, but I think this coffee shop might be one of those things. We've moved out of New Haven, but we come back just to visit Kaiyden's. I think we always will."

"Do yourself a favor and stop there if you want coffee. There will be some of the nicest people you ever meet in your life inside that coffee shop. Driven by the passion of coffee ready to give you a five star experience. Make sur you try the Vietnamese coffee"
