Perfectly located with a great atmosphere and resources. The Cafe is really good with a lot of options. Lots of great books here. This is a good place to hang out.
Wonderful place!!! Great customer service when I took my girlfriend for lunch! Would really come back here again!! The people there are very nice!
The chocolate croissants feel like I'm back in France. The Coffee is perfect. The employees are the nicest people ever. The book selection is great, and you can find a lot of lgbtq friendly books, some new haven books, some Connecticut books, kids books, anything you could want. They have games, puzzles and stationary too.
One if New Haven's great cafe restaurants. In a bookstore. Great healthy food server to the friendly staff keeps me coming back time and again. The bread is fantastic and the baked treats delicious, and the breakfast and lunch menu is super. you haven't eaten them in the Havens best until you've eaten at Atticus. It a chance to take home a book as well. Which of the lot more than Amazon can deliver any day of the week
The bookstore always surprises me with at least one new, random book that becomes a favorite: a book on existentialism, or grammar, or poetry. (I now assign the grammar book to my students--I am a university professor, not at Yale, but I'm a Yale alumna.) What I'm most excited about based on my most recent visit to Atticus is their new (I honestly don't know how new it is, but it's new to me) approach to book recommendations. The staff members have shelves that give you a decent sense of what each person's interests are--though these tend to be broad in scope, it's not like one person likes sci fi and one likes romance and one likes biography: based on what I've seen the staff reads across genres a lot. The recommended books are interesting on their own, but what's really cool is that each staff member has selected a few "mystery/take a chance on me" books. These come wrapped in brown paper, and each has a very short teaser-description of the book. I think this is a brilliant idea. It's like opening a present every time I finish a book and get to start a new one. I'm excited about my first book, which is now open, and my father is over the moon about his, which he's already finished. A+, Atticus. Will you ship me some random ones? I'll read anything at this point.
