Rumors 22 Mill Plain Road, Danbury, CT 06811

"Could have sworn that I'd reviewed this place already - been many times, never once had coffee that wasn't superb. They made me an extra foamy latte a few days ago that I'm still thinking about. Very friendly owner and staff, very cozy place to chill. A very, very welcome independently owned oasis in a vast desert of Dunkins."

"Love Rumors European Cafe on Mill Plan Road, Danbury. We have been a fan of Peter's from before he opened the cafe, when was coffee vending at local events. Rumors is quaint; it's inviting and arm chair comfortable. The sounds and the aromas of each coffee creation lull you into a peaceful, satisfied state of being. The coffee is wonderful. There is something for everyone and every taste here! The baked goods offered are fresh and delicious. There is casual seating outdoors for those non-precipitating days, if you wish. And, there are boardgames inside if you like! Easy to make new friends at Rumors; sit & chat a while! And, oh yeah, Peter and his staff: super friendly... and that's no rumor, that's a fact! Try my fave, " The Classy Lady" ... yum!"

"I've had oodles of lattes and pastries in my time (arguably too many), but Rumors has some of the best of both I've ever had. My mom and I stopped here for a bite on Monday around mid-day. The location is arguably not ideal, depending on your perspective. We were coming from Redding so our trip involved navigating around 84 and then slowly making our way down a busy county highway to make sure we didn't miss it (sometimes I let my Google Maps rest so I can live on the edge a bit). It's a little chaotic but also convenient in that it's a pretty direct route. I also enjoyed the fact that there was an intriguing canine grooming facility right next door though I didn't have the good fortune of encountering any of its customers. Rumors is very cute inside; I feel like every coffeehouse is sort of unique/quirky in the same way, and this was no exception. There was a giant furry spider decoration encircling an entryway to the bathroom, a lending library and - my personal favorite - a TV showing videos of puppies and kittens. The only way to improve it would have been to have actual puppies and kittens roaming around, but I can only imagine the potential health code drama that would ensue. No matter. I ordered their seasonal strawberry rose latte, along with an almond Danish. The latte was perfect - it had the perfect balance of flavor without being too subtle or too overwhelming. The Danish was more than up to the task of matching that performance too. Danishes aren't my go-to pastry; they're often too flaky/crumbly, basically the bakery version of a Nature Valley bar, and like their croissant relatives, often don't have their filling evenly distributed. This had great consistency in both texture and taste, and every bite was scrumptious and flavorful. Despite trying to cajole my mother into getting a latte, she adamantly refuses to drink coffee products and instead opted for a hot chocolate (served in an owl mug that I was pretty jealous of) and a cheese Danish. She enjoyed both and hopefully will be providing her own account of this experience. Great discovery - it's always pleasing to find an establishment that matches (and possibly exceeds) the hype."

"Great little coffee shop. The ambience is very nice and the coffee is great. The staff is very friendly. They have a lot of board games and old school seating. They have a ton of interesting collectible. Would visit again."

"I don't know if I came on a bad day, but my cappuccino tasted VERY watered down with basically no flavor. I was disappointed in the beverage, but I will say that the interior is awesome and has a very home-like atmosphere. There are board games everywhere so if you run out of things to talk about with whoever you go with, you always have another option ;)!"
