Coffee with a conscience

Newly opened Blue State Coffee is a socially-conscious java joint at the heart of New Haven

On a quaint stretch of Wall Street just one block away from the craziness of the New Haven Green, you'll find Blue State Coffee, a coffeehouse with a twist best described by the Blue State slogan: "Drink Liberally."

Running on electricity generated completely by wind power, Blue State is a large, quiet spot to enjoy a cup o' Joe this spring. Sit at a small table in the back or in an oversized chair basking in the warm sun.
