Latte Soul Coffee Shop

Latte Soul Coffee Shop is an independent café located at 3450 Whitney Avenue, Suite 3, in Hamden, Connecticut, opened on September 22, 2024, by owners Shelena Cruz and Luigy Molina. The shop specializes in handcrafted lattes made with Colombian coffee beans — sourced after extensive testing — alongside plant-based teas, energy drinks, and organic pastries, with signature flavors including Raspberry White Mocha, Honey Bun, and Gingerbread. Named from Cruz’s signature phrase “here’s a latte for your soul,” the vibrant, artistically decorated shop has quickly become a beloved neighborhood gathering spot near Sleeping Giant State Park and the Farmington Canal greenway.
