“Froth has become my morning work space, relaxation sanctuary and fueling stop for both body and soul. Raquel and her team not only make an outstanding cup of coffee and provide delicious muffins, egg pizza etc, they’re also lovely people. I look forward to seeing them every time I come. Froth is a gem. I highly recommend the total experience.“

“We had our wedding at The Pond House Café and it was absolutely beautiful. The ceremony and reception were everything we hoped for. Our guests loved the food, the décor, the music, and the warm, welcoming vibe. The staff went above and beyond—Charlene, Diana, and Alissa took care of us with so much care and professionalism. Everything ran smoothly and felt special. We’re so thankful for the whole team. This will definitely be our go-to spot for future celebrations! 1000000/10 experience!!“

“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 love coming here. My go to order is the egg and cheese wrap with peppers and onions and the vegetable wrap. The workers are all very nice, patient, and friendly. I highly recommend them. The taste is fresh, healthy, not salty or anything like that, which is very important to me. Shout out to Axa for waiting after hours for me to collect my order because I was stuck in traffic ❤️“

“Don't let the location fool you ... definitely stop in and you wont be disappointed. Friendly, helpful service. Chicken Milanese sandwich was great! Steak and cheese sandwich also awesome. You can tell both were freshly prepared. Would return to try others.“

“I’ve been wanting to try this place and happened to be able to today. I ordered the Harry Potter themed roast beef crepe and Dragons Breath hibiscus refresher. Both were delicious! Great service and ambiance. We will be back! #supportlocal“

“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 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!!!“

“I went in this morning for a pound of medium roast decaf and a quick espresso. They have an excellent interior that was nice to relax in for a few minutes before rushing off. The staff member was also super friendly. Great neighborhood too. They were carrying a limited edition run of a anaerobic process light roast from Rwanda, so I bought a bag out of curiosity. This is currently the best coffee I have ever brewed. It tastes sweet and like apples! I am really glad that they were carrying this today!“

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

“Our favorite coffee place in the area!“

“Maui colada was so refreshing“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“EXCELLENT PLACE , THERE FOOD IS GREAT N PRICE IS VERY RESONABLE. YOU GOTTA TRY THERE SEA FOOD PLATTER & THERE WINGS EXC. NICE COZY PLACE , N ATMOSPHERE IS GREAT AS WELL. COME ON DOWN YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT !!“

“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. ☕️📚🖌️🥰“

“I am beyond impressed with the amazing staff at this restaurant! I was in the hospital for five days and got out right before Christmas and was not capable of making any kind of Christmas meal even either help.On Christmas Eve, the staff pulled together several meals for the family to eat! They did it last minute with no warning and provided amazing food! Their kindness and compassion is beyond amazing, not to mention how incredibly good the food is!!! I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone!!!“

“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.....“

“U must try it !! Great food great vibe !!“

“I had a Vanilla bubble tea and my wife had a strawberry tea and they were delicious. We also had the pork and beef dumplings. This place is a hidden gem.“

“Everything was perfect!“

“consistently amazing with food, service, friendly staff, clean and overall great experience.“

“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 cold beer 🍺 Good people“

“Creative menu Intimate setting Intriguing location“

“The best place ever, they have a great delicious breakfast and lunch, the personal stuff are so nice and very polite people, my husband and I love that place!! ❤️“

“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.“

“The place is amazing!! Never had omelettes like that anywhere. Everything is excellent. And the service was great. You will NOT be disappointed. Great little spot.“

“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 had a wonderful experience at Cozy Cup and Bakery. The location is great, making it an easy and inviting stop. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, creating a warm atmosphere from the moment I walked in. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Overall, Cozy Cup and Bakery is a place I’d happily return to and highly recommend.“

“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!“

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

“First time going to Stryker’s - came to see the fabulous duo/ band- had a wonderful meal with fabulous service- honestly not a place I would have normally gone to but everything was wonderful and we will definitely be back- great food, amazing service and fun night of music and really good food“

“Great COSTOMER service and the staff was friendly“

“Didn’t catch the names of who was working New Year’s Day pm but service was OUTSTANDING. Bartender to bartender, these guys really kill it and have the best energy. Already recommended it to my local friends and they can’t wait to come in.
Happy new year from Brigetts😉❤️
Ps you guys made my night🫶🏼“

“Excelente es mi lugar favorito para comer. Loco que hagan uno en PR.“

“The service is what you would expect at any fast food restaurant, nothing exceptional. I ordered the greek chicken salad. Unfortunately, there was more greens than chicken for the price, they could add more chicken to it, seeing that it is a chicken salad after all.“

“Great service and great food 🇯🇲♥️“

“relaxed but European vibe, more variations of espresso drinks than I've encountered in the area. A place you want to sit and stay a while. Today, awesome Andorran music playing.“

“Delicious 🤤 coffee y And Breakfast 🍳 and more“

“Jersey girl here that stumbled upon this place on my way into Connecticut for my son’s football game yesterday. I think I had one of the best bagel sandwiches I’ve ever had in my life- and I’m certain it was the best jalapeño cheddar bagel of my life. What a gem this find was, too bad I don’t live closer. The customer service was impeccable and the owner or manager (I think) was very gracious to this traveling Jersey girl with the weekend rules! Not to mention, very easy on the eyes 😉 lol. I feel so many people are ready to rush to complain about things at places they don’t like so I felt the need to make a comment and compliment on something that was great! 😊 Great place- definitely worth the wait“
