Muddy Waters Cafe is one of my favorite places to visit when I’m New London. Love the vibe and the food. The staff is friendly and fun. Plenty of space to gather with friends or pound out a little work remotely. Great vegetarian options and tasty baked goods for my sweet tooth. If you are in the area, you definitely want to stop by.

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!

Delicious breakfast sandwiches, great tasting coffee, lines move quickly, but food and drinks take a long time. I had an hour before my ferry but it took me 30 minutes to get my coffee so I asked to get take out. They were accommodating and very pleasant. Plenty of seating and great waterfront views from the back. It’s open so be mindful of birds. Nicely decorated. Walking distance from ferry (3-5 minutes). Not cheap as cheap as Dunkin, but not more than what we would pay at Starbucks or other diner. Spent $21 for 2 sandwiches and 1 coffee.

Today my husband and I went to Muddy Waters Cafe for the second time. The place is always busy with a line out the door, and it stands for good reason, their food and coffee are excellent. Fun atmosphere and everyone was very attentive and polite. Even though the place was very busy with a line out the door, it went remarkably fast. My husband and I were very impressed.

Still as good if not better than I remember when I came as a Conn College student years ago. I ordered the Irish latte and bacon egg and cheese on croissant, delicious! We sat on the patio with the water views Amazing
