“MOTW Coffee and Pastries is an absolute gem! The first thing you notice when you walk in is the exceptional, modern layout—it’s beautifully designed yet incredibly welcoming. The atmosphere is perfectly chilled, making it the ideal spot to relax, read, or catch up with friends. On top of that, the service is fantastic; the staff is friendly, attentive, and makes you feel right at home. To top it all off, they have a wonderful variety of pastries that are absolutely delicious. Highly recommend checking this place out!“

“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 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!“

“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 ❤️“

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!!!“

“Amazing quick stop and a time warp to the old school Whole Donut !!! Great breakfast sandwiches, bagels and especially the old heavy as a brick Whole Donuts still live on at King Donut Shop. I'm still not sure how dunkin won the donut wars with their crap but it's great to see you can still get the good stuff here lol. The owner is consistently friendly and service is quick. Give them a shot, you won't regret it I promise !!“

“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.“
