Hidden gem in Waterbury. Great people, including the owner. Egg sandwich and espresso were delicious (even though they're not in the picture). Pumpkin beer and Portuguese pumpkin custard pie in the pic were also delicious. Will definitely return.

Great Espresso! This is a unique, off the main road gem. Delicious, full bodied espresso to start. A delicious, unique menu with great portions! A friendly, expert staff well versed in Italian coffees, various teas and grappa! A must stop if you crave your espresso, cappuccinos, etc!

A real Italian coffee in the United States! And they even had sfogliatelle! What an amazing experience! Chatted a bit with the owner after a gorgeous breakfast with proper cappuccino, sfogliatelle and the best Italian/ US breakfast sandwich you will ever have in your life! I did not ask for your name, but your coffee bar is the best! Thank you for the primitivo! My dad and I are grateful beyond words and enjoyed it very much!

The absolute best espresso in Waterbury! If not in CT. Also had the yummiest grilled sandwich with truffle cheese, prosciutto and fig jam! A must if you visit

From the moment I walked in, I felt comfy and cozy. I just had coffee, but it was upscale, with the foam. Yum. Lisa served me. She's so nice!

This quaint coffee shop made me feel like home hundreds of miles away. Owners and staff were incredibly nice and accommodating. I can see why so there were so many regulars dropping in. In addition, the coffee and veggie wrap were great! Will definitely stop by again if I’m in the area.

La Tazza is a hidden gem of Waterbury that I only recently heard about, and I’m so glad my husband and I stopped in for a late breakfast this past Sunday. It’s clear that this is a spot where many neighborhood regulars come to hang out, and it’s easy to see why. We loved their sandwiches on bread from Arthur Ave, as well as the delicious porchetta. My personal favorite was the weekend brunch board, and leave it to Town Plot to include panettone and La Molisana sausage on it! We also enjoyed their cortado and hot chocolate. Having gone to school for years in this area, La Tazza felt like a piece of home, and the owner, Jay, was very friendly and welcoming. We look forward to visiting again soon!

Super Impressed! This spot has been on my "saved to go" list for awhile now and so glad we got to try it out this past weekend. I ordered the BLT ( added avocado) and wow.... just amazing.. fresh & delicious.. I ate the entire sandwich. And their fries are fireeee. I also appreciated how well they packaged our food. The fries were still nice and crispy and seasoned to perfection and I do not say this alot! thank you!!

Was in the mood to treat myself to brunch and do some journaling. Wanted to try this spot as it was so close to home and didn't regret it. Cant believe I've passed by it and never knew it was there. The inside is so cute, with a few tables organized for eating in. The counter has an array of pastries and more, and the backdrop is a chalkboard menu of specials that is colorful, attention grabbing, and efficient. The service was respectful, friendly, and attentive even when managing a rush. I ordered the breakfast charcuterie and wow, so much food. I loved the variety and everything was delicious. The pancakes and waffles were sprinkled with powdered sugar, with large chunks of chocolate. There was a variety of meats and cheeses, so much happening and easily shareable with probably up to 3 people. Will be back!
