    CJ's is one of the hidden gems of CT I think everyone should try. If you're looking for a simple yet delicious breakfast, this is the place to go. It's a family-owned establishment filled with regulars and popular among families and the older population. The service is super friendly and quick, and the interior feels homey and welcoming. The food is amazing, and so are the prices. I got the breakfast special that comes with pancakes, eggs, bacon, and coffee. I opted for blueberry pancakes, which were massive and SO fluffy. They were cakey and not too sweet -- perfect for my preferences. The turkey bacon was crispy, and the yolks were runny just like I wanted. If you're looking to support a local, family-owned business, definitely try CJ's!

    My dad goes to CJ's every Saturday for Breakfast bright and early. He's always awake super early do this place is his go to for early morning breakfast. Sam & Al have been running this place for forever. The service is quick and friendly and the food is fresh and made fast. Sam has a "Hiya honey" or "Good morning sunshine" To all the regulars that walk in the door each week. It's reminiscent of all those dinners back in the day. Hot coffee is made consistently the entire time you're there. Pancakes and bacon were fantastic . So good we had to get some to go as well. In the New Britain area CJs is the go to spot for breakfast.

    There were warning signs that I chose to ignore so I only have myself to blame for the disaster some might call breakfast. The first clue should have been the location, an area populated by car dealerships, a defunct tire center, a closed Assyrian Community Center and an adjoining, similarly named, dry cleaners. Secondly, prior customer photos would not likely wet anyone's appetite. So yes, I coulda and shoulda have known better. No one acknowledged our arrival, but we observed a couple in front of us going directly to a table so we followed though choosing to settle in at a vacant booth. In short order a server arrived bearing menus and taking our drink orders. My wife chose apple cinnamon pancakes, a stack of 2 thought 3 seems to be the norm, while I went with a 3 egg spinach and feta omelet that included home fries and a choice of toast. Hers was almost good while mine was the worst omelet, hands down, that has ever been served to anyone, anytime, anywhere. Cooked past well done using frozen spinach and far too little feta it proved to be tasteless, dried out, and totally blah! The accompanying home fries were not great, but at least proved to eatable while the wheat toast was okay. Meanwhile back at my wife's side of the table, her coffee was nothing short of watered down. If you choose to ignore this review and opt to join the regulars at CJ's, be forewarned that breakfast is served everyday while lunch is limited to weekdays. Also, don't wait for the check to arrive, proceed to the register to pay though you will not be receiving a detailed bill. Lastly, actually almost lastly, there is a nominal charge of 1% added as a customer service fee that I surmise is due to paying with plastic. Finally, don't come expecting to see us because we will be dining elsewhere.

    This place is snuggled in a small plaza with plenty of parking. They say to seat yourself when entering and its rather spacious inside. They have a huge menu along the bar type seating . Paper menus are available. The place is very clean . Today we tried the sausage gravy over biscuits. It was pretty good . My friend had eggs sunny side with bacon. The eggs definitely could have cooked longer . The bacon really good . One Mickey Mouse pancake for my son was just enough for his belly and pretty good. We definitely will be back to enjoy some more menu items and specials.

    Popeyes omelette was yummy! The home fries was the way I like it... very good!

    Breakfast made how it's supposed to be. No frills spot with friendly service and great food. I am never disappointed with a meal from CJs. If your getting an omelette with sausage ask for the Italian sausage...really delicious.

    Friendly, quick service. Plenty of butters. Tasty apple cinnamon pancakes, and even better was the strawberry and whipped cream waffle.

    "Rebel Rebel, you've torn your dress Rebel Rebel, your face…read moreis a mess Rebel Rebel, how could they know? Hot tramp, I love you so" (David Bowie) After a morning appointment in Farmington, we were both in the mood to stop somewhere for breakfast. That gave us the perfect opportunity to stop at a place we've driven by a zillion times. Rebel Dog Coffee's area shops have been on our radar for years, and yesterday we finally checked their Farmington location. It's in a strip mall shopping plaza right next to a Nardelli's more or less where Route 6 crosses Fienneman Road/Birdseye Road. Their Dog Pack has four Rebel Dog members spread out around the Greater Hartford area and some of their coffees can be found in local supermarkets. Their Farmington store is very large and comfortable, with plenty of space between the customer tables. The dining room was fairly crowded when we arrived, with people socializing and banging away on their laptops. Rebel Dog has a very deep offering of coffee drinks and food choices, Want a coffee? Well, you best be ready to choose among single or double espressos (with or without foam of whipped cream or steamed milk, lattes. Cappuccinos, mochas, and Americanos, light-dark-or decaf drip coffees, French Press, Pour Overs, teas, jot chocolates and a ton more. You can even get a growler of coffee, tea, or kombucha. I never saw that before. Now, what good is a morning coffee without something to munch alongside it? No worries, because the Dog has you covered with everything from "Build Your Own" breakfast sandwiches, six egg Benedicts, oatmeal, yogurt & granola, fruit cups, and pastries. If you arrive later in the day, your options might include soups, salads, sandwiches, grilled cheese and burgers. Our breakfast order was a cup of their Steady Habits light house blend (a medium-light roast, smooth and sweet with notes of roasted nuts, fig, and caramel), a cup of their Big Red Truck Dark Roast (a blend of both washed process and natural process Colombian coffees for a rich and layered coffee with notes of dark chocolate, crème brûlée, and warm spices), a "build Your Own" Breakfast Bagel Sandwich and an order of Avocado Toast. With tax and tip, everything totaled under $25. The sandwich we built contained ham and an egg on an Everything Bagel and we had zero complaints about it. My Avocado Toast (no added egg or protein) was wonderful. It was a thick slice of homemade multigrain bread topped with a very generous blanket of smashed avocado. We could not have been happier with our first encounter with a Rebel Dog.

    Rebel Dog Coffee started in 2017. They also have a location in Plainville and East Hartford. They…read morealso offer breakfast and lunch options. They have their own roasting program as well. I stopped in to try out their drinks. I love coffee shops and supporting local so this was on my radar for a bit. The interior was spacious with plenty of seating. The customer service was good. My husband and I enjoyed their cold brew and matcha latte. Yes, we will be back to try out their other menu options!
