We’d love to hear from you!
The Café is an ideal spot for networking and social gatherings offering beverages and snacks to relax and recharge as well as a patio overlooking the New Haven Green.
The Café is currently closed, however, patrons are welcome to bring their own food and drink into the space. We hope to re-opening the space soon.
