Bella's Cafe

Catfish , roasted potatoes , and eggs topped with avocados . I will be visiting this place every time I visit CT! Claudia was awesome!!

Brunch specials are different every week and nothing has ever been disappointing! All of the omelettes are delicious and what they do to French toast is definitely 'food porn'. Totally worth the wait!

Always a long wait but there's a reason everyone has birthday brunch here. Not limited to eggs benedict but their hollandaise is addictive, bellinis in various flavors, One of New Haven's best spots

The best brunch in new haven, and reasonable. Rotating menu, almost never disappointed. Be prepared to wait 30-60 min, and they don't take reservations .

The chiles rellenos (savory) and the dark chocolate-, brie - & raspberry-stuffed French toast (sweet) are among the best items here. If you are lucky, they will both be on the menu. Order them.

Try the Challah French Toast . One particularly good version is stuffed w/ Peanut Butter , roasted peanuts & caramelized bananas in Rum Maple syrup . Brunch menu changes each weekend, check the website.

Simply the warmest service and most delicious breakfast around, with an atmosphere that restores my spirit every time. I live 25 miles away, and make a special detour to Bella's any morning I'm near

Very friendly waitress and great shrimp n grits , but budget 3 hrs for brunch as they do not take reservations and food is served roughly an hr after ordering.

I always go for brunch and am never disappointed with anything! Their specialty coffee drinks are amazing too.

Claudia is a wonderful server! The grits are delicious; very pudding-like.

Everyday there is a new menu but you'll always find a new French toast creation everyday... Order that and you'll never go wrong!

I had brunch here and it's not bad kinda loud tho but if you're going with a group or some family members it's a nice place

Try the French Toast Special - French toast stuffed with brie , topped with raspberry , blueberry , blackberry!

Service was slow the morning that I went, but the food more than made up for the wait! The shrimp and grits were outstanding.

The Jamaican French toast is amazing, period.

Shrimp and Grits & Jamaican French Toast . A must try.

The tropical pancakes are enough for two people!

The salmon risotto special is so delicious! Also, bellinis and mimosas are great!

Love the food but get there early to avoid the wait.

Try the Crispy Chicken Breakfast Burrito - The aftermath. It was amazing

French toast is amazeballs! But avoid the chilaquiles unless you like runny egg whites and overlooked steak :P

Best breakfast around- had the stuffed French toast last week with Brie cheese & strawberries - delicious!!

breakfast food is amazing!

Get the Bella's Benedict with a side of grits . NOW.

Amazing!!! Get a mimosa .

Prepare to wait outside on the weekends

Watch out for false advertising! They offered me a $5 coupon for "liking" them on Facebook, and after I did, would not give me $5 off.

They have the best home fries EVER!!!

This place is utterly terrible. On top of waiting OVER TWO HOURS for food which we never received, there were multiple health code violations including a waitress dipping her hand into a coffee .

You just don't find breakfast like this anywhere else. Truly awesome!

Best brunch in town

Shrimp and grits .

The Mexican variations on brunch are to die for!

Favorite restaurant in new haven!

French toast .

Grits . Excellent.

Great breakfast location
