Easy 5 stars. Claire’s is a special place. The curry, hippie hummus wrap, sun butter cookies and rolls are always a hit! We left New Haven 5 years ago and go out of our way to stop by. Had the pleasure of meeting Claire IRL last weekend and it was wonderful to meet the original vegetarian Kween!

I am a local and native of New Haven, CT. I walk past Claire’s all the time and for the first time I finally tried it. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint!

The quality of the food and portion size is fantastic.

They use the freshest ingredients and they make their food with pure LOVE!!!

The staff was so friendly to me. I love how they call you by name while bringing you your food. I felt like family.

The food and service was so good, I keep coming back.

They also have a plethora of Vegan, Glutenfree & Vegetarian options which I appreciate.

Thank you. I am a new recurring customer and this is officially one of my favorite restaurants in downtown New Haven!!!

Highly recommend it!!!
