We stopped in for breakfast on a trip to the area and this café was definitely a highlight of the whole week! The cashier and the barista were both so friendly and helpful, answering all our questions! Even gave my daughter some free stickers!
But also everything we had was so delicious. Beautiful presentation. Great flavors and textures. Still fondly remembering that cronut! What a delightful shop!

Beautiful place for eating lunch or working over coffee or tea. So pleasantly decorated with comfy booths and ton of natural sunlight. Outdoor seating available in the summer. Cute way of serving pastries (see picture). Free wifi. The curly haired woman at the register was welcoming and chatty. My chocolate banana loaf was delicious but a little pricy and the teas they carry from Open Door are great.

The ambiance at G Cafe Bakery is warm and inviting. As a local, I appreciate the friendly surroundings and the cool vibes. It’s a great spot to unwind, catch up with friends, or simply enjoy some quality alone time.

The breads at G Cafe are reminiscent of the loaves crafted by skilled European bakers. My favorite is the Jewish rye. It’s the real deal—dense, flavorful, and with that unmistakable crust. Whether you’re making a classic deli sandwich or simply enjoying it with butter, it pairs well with every topping.

If you’re a Yale student seeking a cozy study spot or a curious foodie exploring New Haven, this bakery won’t disappoint. So, grab your textbooks, order a croissant, and soak in the Yale spirit at G Cafe!

We had planned to enjoy brunch at this bakery but ended up eating a chocolate croissant and juggling a cup of chai while walking through the streets of New Haven, due to the lack of available seating. This is not the ideal way to start my review, but I don't want it to overshadow my experience. The chai was simply delightful, exceptionally frothy, at the perfect temperature, and an exquisite blend that enhanced the flavor of their bakery items. The bakery products themselves were exceptional. The chocolate croissant boasted great chocolate and a perfectly crispy, flaky texture. Despite being larger than the typical French croissant, its authenticity and flavors were outstanding, making it one of the best I've ever tasted. The donut, with its rich chocolate cream, was enjoyable as well. As for the almond croissant, the exterior was nice, but the filling was somewhat too liquid and bland for my taste. Overall, this bakery embodies the old-world charm that fits quite well into a city filled with so much (neo-)Gothic architecture. Reflecting on it, it's not surprising that the bakery was so busy we couldn't find a seat.

Delicious freshly baked breads and pastries. The make-your-own omelet is being made with 3 organic eggs plus choices of veggies and cheese. The avocado toast with added poached eggs came with bacon. Both were absolutely divine. The oatmilk lattes were also delicious. Highly recommend.

Stopped by G Cafe Bakery for some pastries and a sandwich. The pastries were amazing, really nice selection. My only regret is I couldn't try all of them, we'll be going back to try more. The breakfast sandwiches are very nice if you want something more substantial than a pastry, the were really packed with flavor, and will hold you over for a while. The lattes were also very good. You'll definitely want to try to go at an off peak time because the line can get pretty long. G Cafe is absolutely worth it.

Super cute, cozy bakery with great eats. The inside is super cozy with not much seating but there is outdoor space seating for extra room.

The latte was great.

I had the adult grilled cheese and it was bursting with flavor with the buttery bread with the sweetness of the fig and caramelized onions with a more creamy brie added a nice texture to really bring it all together.

It was my husband first time trying avocado toast and he loved it! Glad his first experience with this eat was a wonderful one.

The other items on the menu sounded great as well.

1000x would recommend this place.

I was at this G bakery in the beginning of March, I have always loved G cafés and the Ninth Square location does not disappoint! Very capable barista all the baked goods are super and are made by hand with love. My recommendation definitely try the ham and cheese croissant as a savory snack this is one of my favorite things in life and are not always easy to find and even harder to find made this well. Also their rustic breads are unbeatable
