The following are ten of the best coffee shops in greater Danbury according to Yelp and Trip Advisor reviews along with my favs as well. I have not included the corporate coffee franchises like Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts.

    The Goodie Shoppe - New Fairfield

    The Goodie Shoppe is a comfortable neighborhood coffee shop, bakery/cafe in New Fairfield. Most folks have their favorite coffee shop and this one is mine. Mark Jayson, a culinary school graduate is celebrating his 20th year in New Fairfield. Everything is baked on the premises from breads to cookies, muffins, danish, pies, and coffee cake and everything is delicious! I have a weak spot for his Black & White cookies. Special orders are welcome at 203-746-7279 and tell Mark that Ethan sent you!
