28 Best Cafes near Glastonbury

“bring back the lobster roll.“

“The absolute best staff and a huge fan of the New England blend. I can’t say enough about the staff at Middletown so professional and courteous and always spot on“

“I usually always have a great experience when I’m here. Pratt street isn’t an easy place to have a restaurant and yet they’ve been doing well and keeping up with the times. With their recent renovations I feel the atmosphere is that much better.“

“Waffle with cheesecake chunks, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream on top. Wow.“

“Thus far the best breakfast joint I have experienced in Hartford County. Great food, friendly service, huge portions, reasonable prices and zero pretentiousness. The Italian bread they serve you, as opposed to the lame little bread triangles most other places offer, hands down seals the deal. Just remember to bring cash.“

“Great little coffee shop. Sit down next to the “fireplace” with a snack. The gals that work here are always so nice. 😊“

“I ordered a lemon-flavored birthday cake with buttercream frosting. The cake was made with the freshest of ingredients, was moist, and was absolutely DELICIOUS!!! Everyone commented on how flavorful the cake was, but the artistic talent of the baker/decorator took centerstage!!! The cake was so beautiful, we didn’t want to cut into it!!! If you decide to order a cake from Sweet Harmony you will not be disappointed!!!“

“not only did we get totally delicious lattes and wonderful customer service, but it was so cool to walk in and see a safe place for community building. i’m not sure what meeting was happening, but bringing together coffee and education is such a fantastic idea!! this is my new local spot and it should be yours!“

“the place is always empty which is so surprising considering how nice the employees are, i ordered a medium and she gave me large 𝓯𝓸𝓻 𝓷𝓸 𝓮𝔁𝓽𝓻𝓪 𝓬𝓱𝓪𝓻𝓰𝓮. the drinks are very 𝓰𝓸𝓸𝓭 and 𝓬𝓱𝓮𝓪𝓹“

“Such a great place for so many things. Breakfast, lunch dates, coffee, family date night, kids art class, date night, birthday parties, etc. The food is delicious and the staff are always helpful, polite, and professional. Highly recommend.“

“This is one of my top 10 places, I have ever been. When I walked in I felt a very calming atmosphere and overall friendliness. It is a small space, with five tables and a bar that seats at least six. The service was friendly and genuine. She had a great smile and was super attentive.The pricing is crazy good and the serving can feed two people, if not take home for leftovers.I had the tuna melt on sourdough with American cheese.What I really liked is that the tuna salad was just tuna and mayonnaise. You can add tomato or onion or lettuce, if you choose, but I generally like a plain tuna melt.You can always add a side for a little bit extra. But I chose to have a small bag of chips and a pickle.The friend who met me for lunch, had a roast beef sandwich and it was stacked high with more of a pink roast beef and looked so good!!She verified it was excellent.I ordered a Lyman's, which is local, hard cider.My total for the meal and drink was $17.50 and I tipped $5.Parking is in the back, you pull into the Dunkin' donuts parking lot and drive to the back- right side.I will definitely be back.“

“Great food wonder staff and owners and some of best rice pudding I’ve ever had would highly recommend going there!!“

“Was there last night. The ribs and pulled pork grilled cheese was amazing! Good beers and the bartender was attentive and charming!“

“I tried the garlic parmesan chicken tenders, yum! My co-workers got an Italian Grinder, but for the faint of heart. it was HUGE! and my other did the Chicken Cesar Wrap again HUGE! Very friendly staff!“

“Grill Mon Island, Middletown

Summary- cozy spot offering Jamaican classics. You will enjoy your experience here.

Full review- Just found out about this gem and had to try it. As a connoisseur of Caribbean cuisine it is our mission to try and review every restaurant we can in the area.

Apparently, they’ve been open for a few months but we weren’t aware. Found them on a google maps search at 5.05pm on Saturday. The listing said they closed at 5pm. On a whim called the phone number immediately and pleaded with them to stay open for pick up. The kind lady replied that she was planning to be open for another couple of hours. So I jumped in the car and headed over there quickly.

We ordered variety of dishes :
- Chicken jerk chicken
- Curry goat
- Oxtail

The jerk chicken was running out so we completed the order with a little bit of stew chicken.

All the dishes were very good.
The rice and peas were truly special - Perhaps an extra dose of Love❤️
The Stew chicken was also outstanding.
We will be ordering all these dishes again.

The location is incredibly convenient. it is on College Street literally a block from Main Street.

Middletown is emerging us a culinary destination, and this lovely cozy Jamaican spot really elevates the game.

The food is good. The people are wonderful. the location is fantastic.

Parking: Plenty of parking- street, garage.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly“

“Really good, quick food. Got oxtail curry , vegetarian tofu type of dish (That had a little bit of spice) , cabbage (so yummy!), and rice and peas. The guy that helped me was very nice. (In case you’re looking , they don’t have roti. Not many places do ☹️). And reasonably priced. Would definitely go back.“

“Creative menu Intimate setting Intriguing location“

“Not many vegan options... The only protein option they have for sandwiches is hummus, and most of the time they don't have any in stock! Pretty disappointing to drive all the way there to realize they don't have anything you want to eat. All the other food is good, if a little pricey. Yummy smoothies and soup“

“Chef's table is always delicious and they change their menu's weekly if not more often. Wide variety, wonderful staff, and great vegetarian options.“

“Good ppl. Fair prices. You have touchtunes. Oh and of course the locals are a blast!

Vegetarian options: Ask for a veggie delight (nor on the menu) and no joke ever server or tender will find way to accommodate u.

Kid-friendliness: Its a bar. U need dcf if u bring ur kid in.

Parking: There's spots and handicap spots are bomb af. *sprinkles fairy dust* so good

Wheelchair accessibility: Two door entrance and a lip, prolly tough to wheel in via chair or electric but totally cool crowd to have people see u and help u in most of the time.“

“The chicken and waffles and shrimp and grits on the Brunch menu are both delicious!! The staff is super friendly and very attentive. I'd definitely recommend them if in the area.“

“Your standard Panera, if you've seen one you've seen most, and thats a good thing. Food was good, bread was fresh, soda options were decent. Food came out pretty quickly.

Parking: Standard lot, very easy to park

Kid-friendliness: Panera is definitely kid friendly, with booths and high chairs to make it easy. Kids menu makes it simple to order, although my kids will go through a full sized mac and cheese with no problem.“

“I enjoy having my brunch at times at Between Rounds in Vernon. Love their Sundried tomotoes and spinach bagels and of course all of the sweet are Delish! Mmmm until we meet again! LOL!“

“This is my favorite location. It’s clean, the staff are all friendly and I love their patio.

-The only negative is how bad these people have been gaslighting me about the size of their chai ?. At first it was a standard size, then they had the option for standard or large…..then they got rid of that option so when I would order a large they would say it’s only a standard size, there is no large. I checked the kiosk myself and sure enough there was no option for large anymore. Then all of a sudden they had a large size again, then they didn’t. I just went TODAY and there IS a large chai option. I’m not going insane! Why you guys did me like that all these months? ? I had employees looking at me like I had two heads and saying “we’ve never had a large for the chai?” Like what are you taking about….? Nope, you did multiple times and I had ordered them and you once again have it now.“

“Didn't have any food but the company was great. We got into a hit and run out front and the person took off. Ran my wife off the road into the ditch our kids were really scared. The bartender helped as much as she could and I can't say enough how much just trying enough. I don't go to these types of places and remember when it was the bridges Cafe. Long ago.....thank you for trying and have a kick ass day.“

“Great bagels but my local big y never puts them out with the other bread , they hide them in the freezer, I have to ask the bakery person to get some for me , very odd can’t see how they are going to make a sale that way , Danielson ct big y“
