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

“The Spot Café truly lives up to its name it hits the spot every time. You can tell there’s real love and care put into the food, from the presentation to the flavor. 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.“

“Great coffee, loved the atmosphere“

“I’ve been going to this place for about a year now and even though I’ll be moving further away this year, I will do my best to make it back any time I’m in town. Coffee is always 11/10, the food is better than any coffee shop / cafe I’ve ever been to, and the baristas & staff are very friendly and welcoming.“

“Amazing!!! Had the best grinders that I have ever had in CT. We recently went on a field trip with CREC and they gave us grinder options from Harvey's. The sandwiches were unique and delicious. By the lack of talking on the bus, it sounded to me that everyone enjoyed their grinder.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Such a welcoming and inviting atmosphere! The service is great and the pastries and mocktails are delicious!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Our favorite coffee place in the area!“

“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.“

“Maui colada was so refreshing“

“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!!“

“I have never had any better food from Euro. the staff are amazing and there is no trouble I'd u want to change something“

“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.....“

“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. ☕️📚🖌️🥰“

“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.“

“Excellent service and delicious food👍🏼“

“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 bar and good people“

“Good cold beer 🍺 Good people“

“Cupcakes were great. Only got 1 left and its about to be gone“

“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.“

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

“Absolutely Great and extremely cute ❤️“

“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.“

“If you want to have a unique and cozy experience, you should definitely visit this place… Pleasant atmosphere and truly exceptional food. Hygiene, flavor, and good prices throughout. I will definitely be back soon… Anyone who says otherwise is mistaken.“

“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!! ❤️“

“Was there last night. The ribs and pulled pork grilled cheese was amazing! Good beers and the bartender was attentive and charming!“

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

“I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was here. I had no idea. All their potato dishes are all delicious, including the sweet potato fries. Their home-made potato chips are the best I’ve ever had. Their medium-sliced onion rings are perfection. There’s lots of large windows so every seat in the house has a good view of the beautiful hills surrounding Indian Springs Golf Course. There’s a fire table on the deck that sits 4. For a perfect day out: Go for a hike at Wadsworth Falls Park, then stop by here for a hearty meal and some warm cookies. You won’t be disappointed.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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🫶🏼“

“Great COSTOMER service and the staff was friendly“

“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 🇯🇲♥️“

“Great bagels but my local big y never puts them out with the other bread , they hide them in the freezer, I have to ask the bakery person to get some for me , very odd can’t see how they are going to make a sale that way , Danielson ct big y“

“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.“
