50 Best Coffee Shops near South Glastonbury

“Yummy pastry and friendly staff“

“Wonderful coffee shop. Hands down the best lattes I’ve ever had. They have somehow managed to make them consistently good- they are creamy and flavorful and highly recommend the pistachio! Their food is good too and baklava is fresh, not the syrupy goopy stuff you usually find places. The pistachio milk cake is a must try too. It’s very nicely decorated and has a kids corner with books and games that I love and is rare to find in a nice coffee shop. Staff are always very nice, talkative and you never wait too long for an order. I can’t say enough good things. I go here as often as I can and will continue to iA. I hope they continue to open more locations“

“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. ☕️📚🖌️🥰“

“Jay made me a phenomenal cappuccino at the open house for Pursuit Fitness. Can't wait to try the canned cold brew he gave me to take home. The on-site coffee cart is a great idea for parties and events that coffee drinkers will appreciate.“

“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“

“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.“

“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. 😊“

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

“A good hang out spot!!! I highly recommend this place❤️❤️❤️“

“Adama and Analia were two of the BEST workers I’ve ever seen in any customer service related businesses. They were extremely nice and super willing to converse with us. They did NOT treat us like customers, but friends. They wished me a happy early birthday. +2 points“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent!“

“Great breakfasts and super service.“

“Best coffee. Best donuts. Get your donuts early otherwise if you go for donuts later in the day, they will be hard as a rock. Early morning donuts are soft. Nothing better than a hot chocolate after you shovel snow. Btw if you are over 45, schedule your colonoscopy boys.“

“Prices are reasonable the food is fantastic fresh. I’ve eaten at Mitchell’s many times highly recommend it. I wish they were open for dinner unfortunately they close I believe at 2 o’clock.“

“AMAZING! The waffle bites were fresh, hot, tasty and so fluffy! Imaan (hopefully I spelt that right) was so kind, attentive, friendly and had great suggestions! This was my first time here and we got a biscoff flavored waffle, a fruity pebble flavored waffle, cookies & cream waffle, two energy drinks, strawberry lemonade and a fruit stick to go! Everything tasted so amazing & you can just tell it was made with care! To think one person is running the show seems impossible but my girl was doing it! Wow! Thank you FeshaFeesh! We WILL be back!! Yum!!“

“We had a misunderstanding about the free talk coffee…safe to say read the fine print. However, Tim was so patient and kind to us and helped us with our order. Our apologies for the misunderstanding but super thankful for the time spent with us! Thank you Tim!“

“I like to hang out at this location. There are a lot of comfy places to work or read a book. The drive thru experience can be a turn off. They get a little testy when things are busy. Because the line was long, I placed my order while I was in the drive through line through the app. When I got up to the speaker, I was scolded for placing my order in the app. Respectfully, what is the difference if the order is there 1 minute before I get to the speaker vs me ordering it at the speaker?“

“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 ❤️“

“Best starbucks in all of CT. All of the baristas are amazing. Addison Rae is the best and friendliest person ever. My coffee is always made correct and with care. The manager of this location is amazing as well and she will even give my son an extra cake pop. We only come here and now we go inside due to the great service instead of the drive thru.“

“Absolutely incredible food, music and service! Kitchen is always open. Come check out the CT Super Open Mic on Thursdays as well as their Monday and Tuesday open mics!“

“As a frequent Starbucks customer I have to say this is one of my favorite locations. Being a regular there, the crew has gotten to know me and are always friendly. I have often seen them very hectically busy during certain rush periods, yet they are always there for customer service.“
