17 Best Cafes in 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.“

“Had dinner at Gather 55 last night and it was the most pleasant dining experience and best food I’ve had in months! Crystal’s service was excellent! She is a master at her craft! Not only was the experience worth every penny, the mission and purpose of Gather 55 is wonderful! I wish we had one in TN!“

“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.“

“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. ☕️📚🖌️🥰“

“First timer here. The atmosphere was awesome. Sat at the bar and watched motoGP. I ordered the brisket egg rolls and they FAR exceeded my expectations. Crispy crunch, sweet, salty, umami. It hit every taste bud on my tongue. My husband got the brisket grilled cheese and it was out of this world good. Perfectly balanced. Not too much bbq sauce, right amount of cheese and a nice crisp bread. The tater tots were perfectly fried and salted. They were so good we didn't even need ketchup. We will for sure be back.“

“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.“

“Atendimento bom, ambiente agradável, cardápio variado e os bolos recheados são maravilhosos! Super recomendo!“
