Cannot overstate how wonderful this place is. My friends and I were looking for a cute and yummy cafe to hang out at and draw, and this place fit the bill PERFECTLY. I ordered their Iced Strawberry Mocha, Open Avocado Toast, and 2 flavors of Macarons. Everything was delicious! The staff were so helpful and friendly, and the space itself was clean, cozy, and well decorated. I especially loved all the plants by the checkout counter. 11/10. Absolutely going back.

I Came here for the first time to grab a quick bite and a drink. The ambiance and service here is great. Very Relaxing and peaceful. Plenty of seating here too. I order a lavender latte , bacon egg and cheese sandwich and a hot drip coffee. The latte was delicious. The hot drip coffee was okay but tamarind taste in it isn’t my favorite! The bacon egg and cheese was not good to me! I took one bite and threw the rest out. Bacon looked raw still and eggs were barely cooked they were super runny! Definitely not worth the 9$ paid for it. On a further note I would skip the sandwich next time and just grab a latte.

My favorite shop in Connecticut. The environment is so calming and great for working alone or meeting friends for coffee.
I had the absolute best croissant of my life here. It was baked to perfection with a slightly sweet glaze on it that helped give it that perfect savory sweet mix.

I live far from Raonjena but every time I want a fantastic cup of coffee, I come here. I’ve been a barista for 11 years and this is THE PLACE. Obviously coffee taste is subjective and people have varying opinions on flavor profiles, but on a technical standpoint the staff and owners of Raonjena know what they’re doing.

If you want something fancy, their Taro Latte is delicious BUT don’t sleep on the Sakura (Cherry Blossom) latte. It’s the perfect balance of floral notes and slightly fruity.

I could go on and on and on about how much i admire this place and the people that own it.

What a wonderful place. This was my first visit there. I would highly recommend it to anyone. The atmosphere is perfect for individuals, couples or small groups of people (5-7). The service was great and very efficient. The food was good. The Kimchi Chi was the perfect blend of sweet and savory. The rice bowlss were great. The pastry with fruit was a bit dry but still tasty. The bulgogi sandwich was okay, perhaps the spicy would have been a better choice.

We were warmly greeted and bid farewell.
The store was busy! Lots of verbally happy customers who enjoyed their purchases.

I got a pistachio crepe cake slice for $8. I've only ever tried a crepe cake from the Maruichi Japanese Market in West Hartford, so that's what my comparison will be based on. The crepes here are thicker and denser, with a slight chew. Definitely more filling. I felt very satisfied after eating it.

The atmosphere was warm. Worth my first time here!

great spot to grab a latte (hot or iced) and get some work done or read a book. I haven't tried any of their pastries or other food items yet, but will add to the list next time I stop in.

RaonJenna is a hidden gem in Glastonbury, CT. This husband and wife team searched high and low for a good Asian style bakery in CT and when they struck out decided to open one on their own. This bakery started small and over the years has nearly tripled in size and following.

They have delicious baked goods including macarons, crepe cakes, egg tarts and more! They always have unique flavors of coffee and focus on high quality ingredients.

One of my favorite things about this local spot is that the desserts are not overly sweet. Everything is well balanced, the mocha was delicious.

The space is great to sit, open your laptop or hang out with friends. They have plenty of seating and welcome people all day long!

I saw a video of their hot cocoa pop up and it looked great! I was excited to try what looked like a rich, thick hot cocoa with this lovely torched marshmallow on top. I checked their Instagram since promotional videos can sometimes be misleading and found that it still looked great.

I paid $10.50 with tip for what was essentially a warm Swiss Miss packet with some marshmallow fluff on it. I feel a little bamboozled. It was very slow, so I can't really say it was because it was busy. I'm disappointed, but would consider going back to try some of their baked goods, which looked good in the case.

I found out this is run by Koreans, so I originally expected to taste cakes with the refined appearance and texture typical of Asian desserts. However, that wasn’t the case. The only thing that matched was the Asian-style sweetness. The cake was rough in texture, and the appearance was also unrefined. If you’re looking for sophisticated Asian desserts, I personally don’t think this is the place.

Great coffee. If you're looking for an alternative to Starbucks that actually makes good espresso, you won't be disappointed.
