Atticus Bookstore Cafe

The Best Bakeries in New Haven, Connecticut | Eater Boston

"Atticus Bookstore Cafe has charmed downtown shoppers since 1975, when it opened on the first floor of the Yale British Art Museum, but the bakery program has truly flourished over the past several years thanks to the company’s commitment to baking exclusively with regional whole grains from the likes of Maine Grains. Whether you sit inside with a new book, take your order to go while you wander Yale’s old campus, or even head to the newer Atticus Market for its copious outdoor seating in the East Rock neighborhood, you’ll find enticing rotating options, from lemon tarts and croissants to pumpernickel rye to meatball or mushroom sandwiches on ciabatta slabs." - Stasia Brewczynski

The Dining Trends and Restaurants Atlanta Needs More of in 2022 | Eater Atlanta

"I used to frequent Atticus on Chapel Street in New Haven, Connecticut, where I would order a pot of tea or a cup of coffee and a turkey club, then read for an hour or two after perusing the shelves; those solo or with-friends experiences at that cafe-bookshop have stuck with me." - Beth McKibben

The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipes, According to Eater Editors | Eater

"A bookstore-cafe known for a rye chocolate chip cookie that delivers a deep, savory rye note to balance the cookie’s sweetness; the rye flour is toasted and finished with butter straight off the stove in the recipe, producing a cookie that firms up on the cooling rack and is best removed from the oven a bit early to yield crisp edges with a soft, chewy center — a keeper for anyone who likes a savory counterpoint in their sweets." - Eater Staff

Since 1975, this independent bookstore-café has fueled New Haven with naturally leavened breads, soups, and smart shelves. Highlighted by the Connecticut Office of Tourism and Eater; its sister market in East Rock extends the community vibe.
