“HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BREAKFAST/BRUNCH/LUNCH place!

Worth finding this hidden gem on the Berlin Turnpike! We had a very fresh omelette with veggies and delicious in-house baked bread for toast. The home fried potatoes were so well prepared and flavorful.
Topped it off with one of their Liege waffles with strawberries. Coffee was tasty as well and several staff members stopped by to check on us and answer our questions about the restaurant and its offerings.
We will definitely be coming back with friends and family...“

“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 will definitely be back!!“

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.“

“Very friendly and what a great couple to host we hired them for our town football team as a pregame treat and their ice cream was phenomenal!!!! Highly recommend, looking forward to booking for my personal use in the near future. Ice cream is my weakness and they definitely pass the test .10/10“

“Best ice cream around town! We moved to the area last year and discovered this spot while driving one day. We visited once and never stopped coming back. My family and I get our sweet treats from here at least once a week. We love it so much we wish they were open all year round ☺️ but nonetheless we look forward to coming here during the summer months. If you do decide to stop by, try their seasonal apple crumb caramel ice cream. It tastes just like an apple cider donut. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Great coffee, loved the atmosphere“

“Hundreds of 5 star reviews and it really is true, this place is five stars in everything they do. Quality, price, friendliness you name it. 20 people were lined up to order when I came in and it moved quick. I also saw several regular customers have parts of their order put on the house. Goes to show how great this place is.“

“First time coming here, we were a little disappointed that the items both my husband and I wanted to order were unavailable at the time however what we did end up getting was very delicious. I got the birria tacos which I've had from many other places and these were the best ones by far. The beef brisket was perfectly tender, the flavor of the birria and consumé was amazing. My husband ended up getting the pastor burrito and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. We love a good place to get some tacos/burritos and this was some quality authentic Mexican food. We will definitely be coming here again.“

“The best brewery around! I love going with my husband and dog to hang out. Helpful and friendly staff“

“Delicious food every time I’ve been there. 🥰“

“I ordered the catering appetizer platter, pita and a side of grilled veggies for take out for a party. There was more than enough for the 20 guests and Everyone raved about the food. I loved that they called me the day before to confirm pick up and everything was ready to go when I arrived. They helped me carry platters into the car. The food is exceptional and the owners are really thoughtful. I've ordered single meals and it's just as good, but do try also for your next gathering. You, and your guests, will be glad you did!“

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.“

“In the area for business, avoiding big chain coffee shops, stopped into Bob's for a coffee and guess what happened......the nice man getting my coffee says no charge. Who does that? Bob's coffee shop, THAT'S WHO. Thanks.“

“My boyfriend & I recently visited WINGSPOT and we left thoroughly impressed. We ordered the Honey BBQ & Dry Rub wings with a side of Mexican Street Corn, and everything hit the spot: the wings were perfectly crispy with so much flavor. The Mexican Street Corn was delicious too, though it leaned a little heavy on the mayo for my personal taste.. I still enjoyed it thoroughly. Overall, a fantastic spot for wings done right, and we'll definitely be back!“

“A Hidden Gem! 🍻Coles Road Brewing I recently discovered this amazing brewery and I'm so glad I did! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed afternoon with Sean. The beer selection is impressive, with a wide range of styles to suit every palate. I especially loved No Straws Required-Raspberry ❤️ The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they're always happy to recommend a beer based on your preferences. If you're a beer lover in the Berlin/Kensington Area , you definitely need to check out Coles Road Brewing“

“Charming atmosphere and great owners/staff! Creamy homemade ice cream that’s well worth the trip! Great community supporter also.“

“The hole in a wall spot where I plan to spend the summer! My cousin and I stumbled upon this place looking to try a new winery. It’s rustic and beautiful, honoring its history and serving delicious, homemade wines, fruit wines and ciders. We spent a few hours here yapping, and trying to pet the farm dog Daisy who is the very best. Tons of outdoor seating and spot heaters as needed. We got a flight for $16 and went back for a bottle to share — and then bought more to take home! We will definitely be back. John and Jean are great“

“Ari and her crew put together an amazing today after wedding brunch for 80! Bagels, spreads, salads, pasta! Everyone loved it and all the leftovers went home with friends and family. Thanks!“

“Great local beer, a friendly brewer, good snacks and nice atmosphere“

“We held a celebration of life event at the brewery. It was the perfect vibe we were looking for, casual, laid back. The staff was professional, kind, and made everything so easy allowing us to relax and enjoy the time with our guests. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I’ve been here twice in the past week. I meet the new chef Mike, it was reallly cool that he came and talked to us, he said all of his specials are made from scratch and both the salmon bites and hulk burger were some of the best things I’ve eaten in a long time. Great waitressing too. I’d recommend everyone to come.“

“We love Josies ! From the home made bread and muffins to the great staff we always have a great time .“

“I have been there for the live musicians. Always great“

“The food is delicious. The restaurant is clean and the staff are very nice. The seating feels like being in a living room of a home in Middle East, cozy and welcoming. I just think that it would be best if the tables were a little higher and if they turn the TV on or play some music to break the silence because it doesn't feel like you can have private talk when it's dead silence. I suggest something like a soft music may be with a show of Middle East paysage.“

“so fresh and delicious. really nice staff.“

“The owner and their entire staff are amazing. What is even more special is the taste and crunch from the fresh pizza.“
