Gather in East Rock has a more coffee shop vibe but it's very good for meeting people! They also serve beer and wine.

I went in there with my bf at the time and gave them fake names. They seemed surprised that we came in and whispered "we have visitors!" And everyone came out from the back and sat in the front room for the "service". The daughter of the guy who founded it read a section of some LRon Hubbard book and we just sat there awkwardly. We then talked a little bit and lied about where we were from (I lived right across the street at the time). Then we left! It was boring, they seemed normal for the most part besides the whole scientology thing.
