Claire’s Corner Copia

Everything is soooo good but my favorite is the carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.

A really fun corner café with excellent vegan and vegetarian options. The entire café is vegetarian, and almost everything can be modified to be vegan. A good portion of the menu is vegan already. They also have clearly marked vegan baked goods in their own section. Everything tastes delicious, the grande burrito I got could feed an entire house! The staff was extremely courteous and the owner was present and happy to see every customer. I would highly recommend this place to any vegan or vegetarian visiting New Haven. Read less

We had need of three breakfasts in New Haven and we happily ate them all here. What a warm, welcoming place. Everything we ordered was superb. The vegan pancakes were the best pancakes (not just vegan!) I have ever eaten. My husband ordered omelets twice and huevos rancheros once and was a happy guy. The granola bowl was so good. Even scrambled eggs and toast were the best. Check out the pastries as well--you will not regret it. Read less

Went here twice during a wedding weekend. Extensive all-vegetarian menu with ample seating. Thanks!

I ran into a last minute hiccup and desperately needed kosher cake for my kids’ birthday party. I popped into Claire’s and the whole staff jumped in to help me find what I needed. We ended up going with their smaller cake loaves and they were a hit with the kids - they even frosted them & added sprinkles! Thank you, Claire’s! Read less

The quiche was excellent and came with a side of fruit and a small loaf of bread which were both delicious. The light roast coffee was some of the best I've had. The vibe is wonderful! Great place!

If you want to solve the mystery of missing Yale students, check how many of them visited this place. It's not a coincidence. Edited in response to the owner's reply: you have to be out of your minds... Read more

If you want to solve the mystery of missing Yale students, check how many of them visited this place. It's not a coincidence. Edited in response to the owner's reply: you have to be out of your minds if you believe I want to enter an establishment responsible for the above. BTW your response reeks of guilt and desperation.
