Niantic Bay Coffee House,

"I would 10/10 recommend Niantic Bay Coffee House! Especially if you’re looking for a flavored ice tea or coffee! My favorite is the Strawberry Lemonade ice tea. I’m obsessed! And I love the protein balls as well! The staff there are always so friendly! My favorite place!"

"Small shop with something for everyone. From thirst quenching cold teas, protein shakes, açaí bowls & even hot chocolate for the kids. Great little pit stop after having fun in downtown Niantic."

"Niantic Bay Coffee House is my go-to for delicious iced coffee! The prices are better than chain competitors, and the coffee is consistently delicious. The drink menu has everything from coffee, to hot chocolate, to protein shakes, to energy teas. The teas are amazing, and they're all delicious- cherry limeade and lake water are my top picks! The acai bowls are another favorite item-my kids go nuts for them! The staff is always welcoming and friendly. I always end up staying and chatting with whoever is working. Highly recommend this spot in town!"

"When you picture a Coffee House, you expect to smell fresh coffee beans, a cozy ambiance, breakfast sandwiches, maybe crepes and other baked goods on the menu….. But Niantic Coffee House is the actual opposite of its namesake. No shade to the girl at the counter who was nice enough but the menu was limited and it was giving “protein shake shack” as opposed to an actual coffee house. My friends and I ordered 3 hot cocoas and 1 small coffee. Mind you the coffee comes out of the same pumps that you see at your local gas station and the hot cocoa was hot water and a tiny packet of powdered cocoa…. Shameful that we spent $3.50+ for something I could have made properly at home. The best thing about going to this place was that it prompted us to explore the area for other options and we found Sol Cafe which was absolutely amazing and saved our hangry day."

"Stopped in with some friends looking for a cafe/coffee house. Instead we found mostly shakes and teas, with coffee being limited to small or large with flavor shots. Most of my party settled on hot chocolate but lost all hope when we saw it was just water and a packet of nestle cocoa mix. Dumped our beverages after only a sip or two and went to a real nice cafe nearby."
