Klekolo World Coffee

middletown's coffee scene is smaller than you might expect for a connecticut city with a university at its center, which means the places that do exist carry more weight. klekolo world coffee, on court street, is one of those places that regulars return to with a loyalty that borders on habit-forming. the roasting operation is in-house, so what ends up in your cup has gone through fewer hands than most. that matters more than it sounds. court street itself is a working block, not a tourist corridor, which keeps the clientele grounded and the atmosphere low on performance. if you're in middletown on a weekday morning, a cortado from klekolo is a reasonable argument for arriving early.
