Ashlawn Farm Coffee - Old Saybrook

My favorite place to grab a coffee, delicious fresh bakery and work on my computer

We had heard about Ashlawn in Yankee Magazine and figured we’d try it when in the Saybrook area. Loved it and coffee did not disappoint! Will definitely be back!

Ashlawn is more than a just a good cafe it’s a gathering place for locals and passerby alike. It evokes a warmth that other places just cant replicate. Ive shared conversations and caffeine with friends and family, and written dozens of papers aside the wood stove. I look forward to the art, poetry and music. Pro tip: arrive before the 9am rush and grab a warm scone and a coffee for “here” (save a paper cup) and savor the ambiance.

I’ve tried this place three or four times. I’ve never gotten what I ordered, something is always wrong. The coffee is a little bit below average it’s just disappointing to get away 5 miles and find out your coffee was made wrong or you have the wrong pastry. The woman who own the place is a wonderful person, I wish the employees had less attitude, less snootiness and were more attentive.

Five stars is not nearly enough! Best coffee on the shoreline, and the blueberry lemon muffin is to die for.
