50 Best Coffee Shops near South Glastonbury

“Yummy pastry and friendly staff“

“Everything was AMAZING! We had the chocolate, red velvet, and french toast muffins as well as the golden drip coffee, green tea, and the graham slam coffees which were perfect. We also tried the empanadas and mmmm they were good! This place is a vibe. Definitely recommend!“

“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“

“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!“

I came thinking I’ll get three Biscoff cookies but her service made me walk out with a box!“

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!!!“

“Owner and Staff awesome 👌“

“Lucy’s Luncheonette is a super cozy spot serving all sorts of sourdough goodies and delicious drinks! The owners are wonderful people, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the food is incredible 😍 Not only that, but they offer a "Roll It Forward" program where you can buy loaves that will help feed the community. Lucy's donates leftover food to local soup kitchens weekly as is, so you can feel extra good about supporting them! Still not convinced? They also offer apothecary staples like Elderberry Syrup, handcrafted by Cherokee herself! From Michael's charisma and culinary expertise to Cherokee's herbalism and baking skills? You'll be nourished mind, body, and soul. Go check them out ❤️“

“Flavorful food and a great atmosphere!“

“Just started coming here not too long ago and have not been disappointed! The bagels are delicious and always fresh. We call ahead and have our order ready within 10 minutes. The donuts are delicious, my favorite right now being the Oreo one. The staff is very friendly, we were attended to by a lady who was very friendly and courteous. With 2 coffees, 2 bacon egg and cheese sandwich bagels, and 3 donuts… the total cost was about $32. She even threw in an extra donut 🩷. All staff members have been very friendly and kind. Definitely recommend this place.“

“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.“

“The bestest ice cream by far. Friendly helpful staff, clean, fun, and will be open year round! The happiest place on earth is now on Main Street in Cromwell!!❤“

“The CT Army National Guard Pilots/Aircrew have been meeting at Perk On Main since they were established on the 2nd Sunday of each month. The guys are Crepe & Omelet fans and VERY happy with the food quality & variety. Katie Hughes Nelson is always there manning the grill and marshaling her happy team. We ❤️ this place!“

“love it here! great music, baristas are super nice (especially the redhead with the glasses who was very nice about putting stuff away near the table i was sitting at)
10/10 recommend. it’s super clean and the atmosphere is super bubbly.“

“I get my coffee here all the time! I am at the buckland hills mall just about everyday for my store and getting a coffee from here is my favorite part of the day! I love visiting with the owner when she's there. She is so nice and lovely to talk to. The coffee is exceptional. She has tons of different varieties as well.“

“First, it’s worth noting that they don’t accept credit cards, but they do take Venmo. Aside from that, the staff is extremely friendly, helpful, and welcoming. It’s a small place with seating for about 30–50 people, giving it a cozy feel. The selection of breakfast items is quite good, with several nice options to choose from.“
