"Pretty much everything on The Pantry's brunch menu is worth it (and so is the 30-minute walk from downtown). Be prepared to wait, but the service is quick and the food hits the spot. Afterwards, take a walk around the upper State Street area to check out all the cute boutique bookstores and bakeries in the neighborhood. " - anne cruz, team infatuation

A little treasure on State St. the host was amazing. Coffee keeps coming without asking. The smoked salmon eggs Benedict are out of this world. My little one had the cinnamon roll pancakes- these should be illegal. Wifey had the Florentine and was blown away with the savory combinations. Price range $20/person. Absolutely will return for another visit.

Stopped here on a Saturday morning to see an old friend, and every aspect of this restaurant encapsulated that experience perfectly. Friendly waitresses with frequent coffee refills, the morning sun pouring in the windows, and the faint sound of jazz playing from somewhere nearby. A perfect start to a beautiful day.

A celiac’s dream diner! While there is no gluten-free bread option, most (if not all) food is prepared on its own grill/pan so there is no cross contact of gluten containing items! Eggs=safe, home fries=safe, bacon=safe. The pic is of the grapefruit brûlée; I’d go back just for this dish. So simple but tastes complex. So tasty. All the food was excellent! I sat at the counter and chatted with most of the staff who were friendly and efficient. Great all around diner!

The Pantry has been doing it well since the mid 80s, lots of windows that allow in ample sun, faded jazz festival posters from around the world, down to Earth and friendly staff, cash only and worth every penny. Had the cinnamon roll pancakes, a chocolate chip pancake, egg and cheese on a hard roll, and the egg shakshouka special. Cannot wait to go back, they are consistently busy for a reason!

A busy place for sure. Breakfast was very good value for the US - maybe the best value I have had. I thought the helping size was massive. Would have liked to order more coffee but kind of got forgotten in the table I was placed at. Would go back

The BEST breakfast in New Haven. The quality and portions of food they serve is second to none. Oh, and the coffee is brilliant. The staff are also super friendly and really good at what they do! My mom and I come here from time to time to catch up and yap about life. So yeah, 5 stars all around. :)
