Giv Coffee

Giv Coffee is well worth the drive from wherever you are to partake of their delicious and beautifully crafted beverages and baked goods! Every time we visit connecticut, my husband and I make a point to visit and get a cappuccino , a cortado, a bag of coffee or two...followed by an iced cold brew to go! :)

For what it is, five stars. Their Belgian Waffles could definitely be addictive - not your usual mixed-batter-poured-and-pressed into an electric waffle maker. These are so amazing in texture and taste they don't need anything on them. No syrup, no butter, no powdered sugar or chopped fruit. These would be found somewhere like Austria, where all baked goods are taken to the highest level. We brought two home, and the third opinion had equal praise and pleasant surprise. One is enough for a serving. The coffee is also boutique and the beans are roasted right on the premises in a separate building behind the café. It's sold in a variety of ways like lattes and cappuccino as in most coffee stores. My latte was perfect. My partner thought his caffè mocha had more chocolate than coffee but still enjoyed the quality of the chocolate in his drink along with his waffle. Bags of coffee beans can also be purchased with the Giv Coffee label, from espresso to decaf, dark roast to their version of a breakfast or house blend, plus a half dozen or so in between. We learned we were drinking the "Esperanza Caturra" being featured that day and bought a bag. Drinks other than coffee are on hand, as are logo t-shirts and local farm honey. There are pastries and an egg sandwich as food options. When I inquired about two lunch sandwiches I saw online in a menu photo, staff said they did used to have the turkey pesto panini pre-COVID, (and a grilled cheese), but they haven't brought them back yet. They should since they're open until 3PM, and customers might want something more lunch like in the afternoon. I love the French music that streams through the café. Soothing and sophisticated. Giv Coffee started in 2011 roasting 80 pounds of coffee in a garage and donated their profits to an orphanage in Nicaragua. Now having grown into their own retail spot and bean roasting building, they still donate part of their proceeds to charity. You don't have to be in Seattle for a custom cup of coffee made from on-site roasted beans, or in Europe for a quality waffle. Check out Giv Coffee in Canton, CT.

GUYS. this is my new favorite coffee shop in new england. i live in boston but come to CT often to visit family. this is by far my favorite cappuccino i’ve found in the boston or hartford areas. the espresso flavor, amt of milk (6oz capp) and amt of caramel was PERFECT. not too milky or sweet. espresso had lovely complex flavor. the vibe is excellent too, mostly booths and 2 comfy chairs. they have (some) indoor seating available now, according to their capacity. the baristas are super friendly as well. will definitely be coming back soon!

An amazing coffee selection with an amazing staff. I sneak in questions about making coffee when I'm there. The team is very helpful and courteous. Ask about the coffee before you order. Trust me.

The Matcha tea, Dirty Chai and scones are all my favorites from Giv😉 I love that it feels so cozy and they have great outdoor seating too which is great when I bring my pup! Dora loves watching the staff through the window!!😊
