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!!”

“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!”

“Bagels used to be made locally at Goldberg’s, always very fresh. Picked up some today and they were not the same— could tell because they were refrigerated, slightly stale, and very different recipes. Have had tremendous breakfast food here for 5+ years, but wanted to confirm with the new owners— are bagels still sourced from Goldberg’s? If not, where from?”

“Jersey girl here that stumbled upon this place on my way into Connecticut for my son’s football game yesterday. I think I had one of the best bagel sandwiches I’ve ever had in my life- and I’m certain it was the best jalapeño cheddar bagel of my life. What a gem this find was, too bad I don’t live closer. The customer service was impeccable and the owner or manager (I think) was very gracious to this traveling Jersey girl with the weekend rules! Not to mention, very easy on the eyes 😉 lol. I feel so many people are ready to rush to complain about things at places they don’t like so I felt the need to make a comment and compliment on something that was great! 😊 Great place- definitely worth the wait”

“With the move just down the street, Beanz and Co & The NE pasta co transformed itself to another level. The place is spacious and the atmosphere is friendly and inviting. In addition to the main dining area, There are three separate seating areas: a room with comfy seats for a small group of talkers, a back room for a quieter setting and a third room perfect for a work meeting or small group of friends or couples. I love the inclusion of staff with challenges, otherwise may not have this positive opportunity. 💜 The catering is great; I’ve taken home a number of delicious family meals. The restaurants are run by family and friends creating a place like home. They are always nice and friendly.🌹 I can vision this business holding events in the evening, such as family celebrations or book clubs or small bands. Naturally I highly recommend a visit to this establishment. It won’t be your last.🌺”

“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. ☕️📚🖌️🥰”

“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.”

“I stopped in for a tea at Beanz and Co today, I was so excited for the gluten free options. I took the time to walk over to the Pasta company part of the store and took home some of the delicious gluten free options that they had premade. There aren’t many places that have premade gluten free food so I was relieved to know I wouldn’t have to cook for the next few nights. I heated up the bbq pulled pork in the break room at work and had several people ask me what I had for dinner because it smelled so good! Everyone greets you there with warm smiles, it was a great experience and I can’t wait to go back.”
