16 Best Coffee Shops in Hartford

“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. ☕️📚🖌️🥰“

“Came here again as part of the a Hartford coffee crawl. I got the Costa Rican coffee with a shot of brown sugar cinnamon. Coffee should definitely be enjoyed in store and not on the go to experience the drip and siphon pot ways of brewing

I forgot to specify that I wanted cream/milk in it so it came out black and I could really taste the coffees full flavor.

Parking can be a struggle“

“Cozy atmostphere with nice outdoor seating. I really enjoy the way they cook eggs , always perfect balance in their sandwhiches. The coffee was really tasty. Wish there was more places like this around Hartford support local and there will be! ✌️“

“Excellent food and coffee this morning! Quality baked goods, quiche & a take home dish. Great service and quite cozy atmosphere.“

“First time trying the Coco Berry Smoothie and it was a 10 out of 10 highly recommend. Looking forward to trying other flavors.“

“Stopped by the Dunkin’ on 131 Brainerd Road in Hartford. The food and coffee are your typical Dunkin’ — consistent, quick, and exactly what you expect. Coffee was made right and the food hit the spot for a fast stop.

That said, the location can feel a little sketchy at times, especially depending on when you go. It’s not necessarily a dealbreaker, but it’s something to be aware of. Overall, it’s fine if you’re just running in and out for your coffee fix“

“Best coffee. Best donuts. Get your donuts early otherwise if you go for donuts later in the day, they will be hard as a rock. Early morning donuts are soft. Nothing better than a hot chocolate after you shovel snow. Btw if you are over 45, schedule your colonoscopy boys.“

“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.“

“While they may not always have my cold brew they always have cheerful customer service reps that go above and beyond to ensure you have whatever you order in a timely fashion. The team has great conflict resolution when dealing with irate customers. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Will return“

“iced coffee. and sandwhiches“

“Love the pumpkin bread! Mochas are great and made with Ghirardelli chocolate syrup. Customer service is also good. Unfortunate that you have to pay for a cup of water - but I suppose it encourages bringing your own and being nice to our Mother Earth.“
