“bring back the lobster roll.“

“Great coffee, loved the atmosphere“

“The Spot Café truly lives up to its name it hits the spot every time. You can tell there’s real love and care put into the food, from the presentation to the flavor. The cafe is welcoming, making you feel like a regular from the moment you walk in. It may be a small space, but it delivers big on quality and experience. This place is definitely a hidden gem in East Hartford.“

“Sunberry is the go-to spot for food, drinks, and karaoke! Their food is Always so fresh & good and the drinks are delicious. Good vibes at night with karaoke and music. If you want to go somewhere for good food with friends or alone, sunberry is great.

The staff and owner are really what makes this place great. The most kind people around.

I'm sad I moved from the area and hope to go back to Hartford just to visit sunberry.“

“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!!!“

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

“I love DoNo! It's the best part of my day when I find time to take a walk or drive over and get my daily latte, espresso, or tea. They also just upped their game with an awesome sandwich menu!!“

“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.“

“We hosted our 2 year old’s birthday party at Two Brothers Cafe and it was absolutely AMAZING! From the very beginning, the staff was so friendly, helpful, and easy to work with, it truly made everything stress free. The space was perfect for a fun family get together, and the atmosphere was just right. Every single staff member went above and beyond, and the food was absolutely incredible. We received so many compliments from our guests! We couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate. Highly, highly recommend Two Brothers Cafe!“

“I get my coffee here all the time! I am at the buckland hills mall just about everyday for my store and getting a coffee from here is my favorite part of the day! I love visiting with the owner when she's there. She is so nice and lovely to talk to. The coffee is exceptional. She has tons of different varieties as well.“

“This coffee shop is so much more than a place to grab a drink. It is like a community living room. Warm, creative, and welcoming in the most genuine way. There are art supplies to sit and create, free books to borrow, and games to play. It’s a place that invites you to slow down, connect, and stay awhile. The cold brew I had today was absolutely amazing…..smooth, rich, and clearly made with care. Even more meaningful was the experience with the owner. Her kindness, authenticity, and passion shine through in every detail of this space. You can feel how much heart has gone into building something that truly serves the community. I’m so grateful to my son and his girlfriend for encouraging us to stop in after a UConn game, what a gift that recommendation was. Places like this are rare, and they matter. If you love small businesses, creativity, connection, and spaces that bring people together, please show up and support this one. Bring a friend. Stay for a while. Make it part of your routine. Convenient to the XL Center, Yard Goats, downtown, and right off the highway. Closed Mondays, open all other days — plan your visit and don’t miss it. Support this local gem. Our community needs places like this. ☕️📚🖌️🥰“

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

“Sandwiches here are out of this world. Overstuffed, freshly quickly prepared, & served up in a jiffy. Side orders like cole slaw & potato salad are well prepped & very tasty. Service is outstanding, fast & cheerfully done. Another thing I appreciate is frozen mugs, Well Done Bud's.....“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“good bar and good people“

“Excellent service and delicious food👍🏼“

“Cupcakes were great. Only got 1 left and its about to be gone“

“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.“

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

“A neighborhood spot that is often quiet but has its busy nights. Good drinks, good prices, and really good food for a bar. Mixed crowd but of the older persuasion. Wouldn't recommend for a very young crowd. Definitely 30 and older. Avoid Monday nights though. There is one bartender who only cares about tips and never about good service.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“The iced coffee was *perfectly* brewed
A lot of Panera iced coffee is really watered down but on 11/11, this iced coffee tasted so good. *chef's kiss*

However you brew your iced coffee, please tell all the Paneras to do the same.

This is how God intended iced coffee to be“
