Imagine: A beautiful cobalt blue coffee house and cafe situated in a circa 1784 house in the bucolic community of East Haddam, CT with a mission to welcome all people, build a community asset and provide unmatched customer service while serving outstanding fresh food and coffee.

​

Imagine: This unique coffee house bears the names of his two playful feline companions Bruno and Larry, and has been transformed into a center for some of the worlds finest cat kitsch and a space where customers are made to feel “at home”.

​

And what if this quirky establishment is the creation of a retired Molecular Biologist who dreamed of creating a unique space that would transcend the typical community coffee house?

 

Thiede, who has a Ph.D. in molecular biology and biochemistry and is retired from a career at Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, opened the cafe in May 2013 and has for years been building a sense of community through breakfast, lunch, coffee and conversation. He adopted a set of six sibling cats, and their adorable antics are visible through glass doors from within the cafe.

 

Welcome to Two Wrasslin’ Cats Accord Coffee House and Cafe!!!!
