Easily the best coffee in the Hartford area. The baristas are very knowledgeable on their coffee. Nice "lab" they have to create great stuff. Not pretentious at all, but very friendly.

That this place could be ranked below Starbucks is absolutely mind boggling. Amazing, knowledgeable baristas and top-notch coffee roasted in-house with a breadth of brewing options available.

Simple, clean, polished atmosphere. Kind, professional and efficient staff. Not much for munchies when I visited, but the iced mocha was divine. Real, quality coffee.

The BEST Coffee Shop in Hartford. Excellent Barista Made Coffee! And coffee brews by different methods. Excellent service. Fine pastries. Great different types of Coffee for sale at the coffee shop.

Coffee and biscotti was excellent! Only thing I would change is the LCD TV over the counter. It looks cheesy. I would replace with a chalkboard for that cafe vibe.

The pastries are were all gluten free but somehow still delicious. Try the chocolate/nut dipped pear...seriously perfect. Great drinks. Great atmosphere. Classy staff. A+++

Solid cold brew. It's not a cafe for computer work, it's the kind of place to have a conversation or catch up on a good book.

Great coffee, friendly staff. But not very laptop friendly. No wifi, no power. Very crowded on weekends.

Cool shop; the siphon method looks beautiful and tastes if you want to try something out of the ordinary; worth the slightly excessive price

Friendly staff with good knowledge but confusion over what coffee was available in what preparation. Live music a welcome touch.

Vegan snacks!!!!!! Great coffee. A LOT of pretentious hipsters about....but I guess that is a given in any great coffee shop.

I'm a bit of a coffee snob and this is as good as it gets. Awesome coffee

Coffee is good, no denying that. But the environment and staff are so snooty, it ruins the experience. Expensive too.
Andrew BuddJuly 20, 2013
Cold brew is tasty on a hot day. Very bright - nice sunny windows. Clean, comfy, quiet.
