Reviews for Ashlawn Farm Coffee in Old Saybrook, CT

I wish I could rate them higher!! I cannot say enough good things about Ashlawn Coffee. The light roast hot coffee and... snickerdoodle latte were incredible. They had a menu of seasonal latte options that all sounded amazing. We also had a jalapeñobagel with chive cream cheese and a bacon, egg and cheese on a cheddar chive biscuit. Everything was great. The bagel was softbut perfectly crispy on the outside. The sandwich has crispy bacon, melted cheese and the biscuit was perfect. Also cute decor,relaxing ambiance, and friendly staff. I will make a trip to the shore again just to come here!! Read more

Teetering between 3 and 4 stars. Sad to report that the amazing, frenetic, warm, community-centered atmosphere that was a... massive draw in the days of manager Elvira and her power crew has disintegrated. This cafe used to be such a joy to spend timein - good music, attention to detail in barista work, friendly customers and staff, immaculate dining area, consistency in theroasts. Now the apathy (or maybe unhappiness?) of the employees and the palpably low energy walking into the cafe makes me lessinclined to come back regularly. I am sure covid among other circumstances has influenced this shift, but it's disappointing tosee the ethos of one of Saybrook's star small businesses declining. I'm not sure there's anything i could drop in the suggestionbox other than - "shake things up!" It's not too late to recover. Maybe the new deep river location is where the passionlanded...

I?ve been going here for years and do love the iced coffee. However, it is so inconsistent. I have thrown away so many inedible... coffees. It?s frustrating. I hope for more consistency so I can return. Even the bagged ground beans have been bad. My last bagwent into the garbage. It?s extremely frustrating to support a local business and get this in return. Read more

Wow! This place is AMAZING and definitely trumps the competition! I got the Maple Latte and it was delicious! It wasn't too... sweet, didn't taste like just milk and had the best coffee taste! I will definitely go back! I love that their syrups arehomemade! The staff was also very pleasant. Read more

This coffee shop is probably one of the best on the shoreline. Today I ordered an iced honey lavender latte, and my taste buds... and brain activated in the best way? I felt my third eye open up. I can?t wait to go back and order another - 10/10 Read more

Very popular spot, several people seated inside & out as well as waiting in line. Great customer service. Coffee was good. They... have a variety of breakfast/lunch items. I got a french toast bagel with cream cheese & a corn muffin. Both were fresh & yummy! Read more

Cute spot just off the highway. There are a couple of pre made breakfast sandwiches as well as quiche and baked goods. Tables to... sit in and enjoy coffee and breakfast. The coffee is very tasty, rich and flavorful and The speed to order and pick up wasfairly quick. Read more

My personal favorite coffee shop. I like to get here soon after they open at 6am to relax while it's quiet, happily zipping by... Starbucks along the way, having a quick chat with the staff, and hearing the occasional train rumble by. A simple light roastblack coffee for me is as good as it gets. The breakfast sandwich and cinnamon bun are far better than anything you'd find atbig, ugly corporate chain. It gets very busy as the morning goes along so I just plan my time accordingly. The maple spice lattetastes just like maple should and was told pumpkin spice wouldn't be available for another week(mid-September). Read more
