Ashlawn Farm Coffee

Ashlawn is more than a just a good cafe - it’s a gathering place for locals and passerby alike. It evokes a warmth that other places just cant replicate. Ive shared conversations and caffeine with friends and family, and written dozens of papers aside the wood stove. I look forward to the art, poetry and music. Pro-tip: arrive before the 9am rush and grab a warm scone and a coffee for “here” (save a paper cup) and savor the ambiance.

Such a godsend of a coffee shop (good coffee, yummy pastries!) if you have an early morning train to catch from the Old Saybrook train station. A gem.

Located in the train station plaza of Old Saybrook, Ashlawn is consistently excellent, their lattes are on point, their cold brewed is highly charged, the beans always fresh, and the service is always attentive and fast. We love the childrens area in the back and wish more places had a spot where parents can enjoy a hot beverage and have the kid be distracted! The only improvement I can think of is the immediate entrance, it is very cluttered and jams up fast with bodies - I think some attention to the flow of this area would be beneficial, otherwise A++; we will be back!

Simply the best quality coffee in the area. Talking espresso. I get the cappuccino with almond milk. Love everything about this place.

Wow! This place is AMAZING and definitely trumps the competition! I got the Maple Latte and it was delicious! It wasn't too sweet, didn't taste like just milk and had the best coffee taste! I will definitely go back! I love that their syrups are homemade! The staff was also very pleasant.

My personal favorite coffee shop. I like to get here soon after they open at 6am to relax while it's quiet, happily zipping by Starbucks along the way, having a quick chat with the staff, and hearing the occasional train rumble by. A simple light roast black coffee for me is as good as it gets. The breakfast sandwich and cinnamon bun are far better than anything you'd find at big, ugly corporate chain. It gets very busy as the morning goes along so I just plan my time accordingly. The maple spice latte tastes just like maple should and was told pumpkin spice wouldn't be available for another week(mid-September).

Finally had an opportunity to visit this warm and inviting coffee shop. Friendly peeps, delicious bagel & smear, and of course the maple sweetened latte. Hello from PHX😉

I wish I could rate them higher!! I cannot say enough good things about Ashlawn Coffee. The light roast hot coffee and snickerdoodle latte were incredible. They had a menu of seasonal latte options that all sounded amazing. We also had a jalapeño bagel with chive cream cheese and a bacon, egg and cheese on a cheddar chive biscuit. Everything was great. The bagel was soft but perfectly crispy on the outside. The sandwich has crispy bacon, melted cheese and the biscuit was perfect. Also cute decor, relaxing ambiance, and friendly staff. I will make a trip to the shore again just to come here!!

We had heard about Ashlawn in Yankee Magazine and figured we’d try it when in the Saybrook area. Loved it and coffee did not disappoint! Will definitely be back!

I ❤ their Valentines drink! Place is so cute and cozy.

Definitely the best coffee in the area, hands down. The food program is great, too, plus they have quite a bit of space to sit and enjoy your drink/food.

My favorite place to grab a coffee, delicious fresh bakery and work on my computer

Five stars is not nearly enough! Best coffee on the shoreline, and the blueberry lemon muffin is to die for.

Great little coffee, snack shop in a small strip mall, right beside the train station. Comfortable seats, nice decor, lots of knick knacks around, AC, and clean WC. Homey is the goal, and they achieved that. No background noise, no loud conversations. Coffee is excellent and, thankfully, priced right. Could be a little bit warmer, though. Outdoor and indoor seating. Shaded. Outdoor view is the parking lot, not so good.

Cute spot just off the highway. There are a couple of pre made breakfast sandwiches as well as quiche and baked goods. Tables to sit in and enjoy coffee and breakfast. The coffee is very tasty, rich and flavorful and The speed to order and pick up was fairly quick.

Great place, all organic, amazing staff, super friendly, and great coffee. Would definitely recommend going to. Much better than Dunkin and Starbucks.

Solid coffee shop. Comfortable, pleasant atmosphere, clean, good music, friendly staff. Great selection of coffee, and teas, and quick bites. One the best macchiatos I have ever had. Highly recommend this place!

We love Ashlawn. It’s always delicious and quick to grab a coffee. We buy their beans as well and it’s the only coffee we drink at home 😊 their baked goods are also delicious. My only complaint is that I wish they were open earlier. My husband takes the train to Boston early in the AM and always says he wishes he was able to stop before getting on!

Cozy, excellent food, great coffee. Everything you want in a chill coffee house. Signature breakfast sandwich on home made biscuit. Walls lined with old encyclopedia’s. Great character.

What an absolute gem! Just moved to the area and the people here are incredibly nice, and their coffee is delicious. One of the best cortados I've had. They roast their own beans too! Definitely give them a try!

Bonus for families, they have a kids space!
