Muddy waters has always been great but there sun room in the back is second to none. The atmosphere is beyond relaxing and elevated. We love love love the place! Also go for a cappuccino have it for here in a mug. You won’t regret it!
What a gem of a cafe! It's so bright and beautiful, with a lovely view of the ferry and train station. And the staff are absolutely the loveliest! We tried the croissant omelet and grilled cheese, along with some coffee, and everything was delicious. The pricing felt reasonable, especially compared to metropolitan cities, though it might be a tad high for locals. We visited on a Saturday morning, which made parking easy – that could be more challenging on a busy weekday. Good to know it was the only spot open at 9:30 AM that day, as most places seemed to open around 11 AM! Bon appétit and keep giggling!😂 🥐🍳🥯☕️
Lovely coffee house with great breakfast and lunch options in downtown New London. I grabbed the Herb Roasted Chicken Sandwich for lunch and it came with Roasted Red Peppers, Baby Spinach, Provolone, and Basil Pesto. It was great meal that definitely hit the spot!
Amazing café in great experience you’re facing the water and you drink the city Plus, the service and food and drinks are phenomenal Thank you Muddy Waters Cafe!
The raspberry crumb cake was a sweet treat for brunch and the dark roast French brewed coffee was smooth and delicious.
Absolutely love this place. Muddy Waters Cafe has such a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the waterfront view makes it even more special. The coffee is excellent, rich and smooth, and the food is always fresh and delicious with generous portions. It’s a perfect spot for breakfast or lunch. The staff are friendly and relaxed, which really adds to the experience, and sitting outside by the water on a nice day is a huge bonus. Whether you’re meeting friends or just enjoying a quiet moment with a great cup of coffee, this place never disappoints. Highly recommend, truly a 5-star spot in New London.
Street parking readily available, plenty of places to sit at lunchtime on a Friday in July! The food took a while, but we didn’t mind one bit because the atmosphere was great! We loved the burgers and BLT.
Great local coffee spot with a warm atmosphere and friendly staff. The coffee is consistently good, and it’s always a relaxing place to hang out. I’m glad to have a place like this nearby!
Muddy Water Cafe is a great spot in New London! The atmosphere is cozy, welcoming, and full of character, making it a great place to relax & sip some coffee. It was a stopover on our drive to RI, so will definitely come back to try other things.
Great, just great!!! Awesome atmosphere where everyone feels welcome... Travelers, students, professors, police, firemen, local folks! Great fresh bagel sandwiches, coffees of every combination, fantastic roast beef for lunch or an incredible hummus and fresh vegetables sandwich when I need to feel healthy. There 4 seasons deck is a great way to watch the trains and river activities.
