    Teddy Toast
    Chantee F.

    I've been coming to Dono Cafe for a little while now since I live in the Pennant, and it's time I finally left the review this place deserves! I ordered the Loaded Avocado toast--sourdough with a creamy avocado spread, housemade seasoning, melted mozzarella, bacon bits, and a balsamic fig drizzle. It was the perfect mix of textures and flavors--rich, savory, and just a touch of sweetness that brought it all together. I also grabbed a small Teddy Toast, which is a blend of honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and espresso. I chose oat milk, and it was smooth, warm, and cozy--like the coffee version of comfort. The service is always on point. Everyone I've interacted with is friendly, efficient, and clearly takes pride in what they do. Whether I'm in a rush or have time to linger, they always make me feel welcome and taken care of. Dono Cafe has quickly become one of my favorite spots downtown. If you haven't been yet--go. You'll be glad you did.

    Stopped in on a coffee tour and I love how vibrant the space is. You can tell that a lot of time went into the interior decor and I particularly love the newspaper wall. It's such a comfortable space. I'll have to check it out and do some work from here one day. The baristas are super friendly and I'm a fan of anyone who has good vibes. They accommodated someone I was with so well and I appreciated that. I got an iced honey lavender latte with oat milk and it was delicious! Sweet but not too sweet and I think the size was perfect. Looking forward to my next visit.

    Iced beehive latte (with oat milk) and the strawberry croissant.

    Friendly customer service! I was greeted with a hello when walked into the cafe. The space is bright, spacious, and open. It has that modern feel to it but along with a chill vibe that makes you want to stay and hang out. The music in the background was just perfect for a morning pick up. Not the usual loud obnoxious music blasting. It was subtle. The area is undergoing some construction but safe and would recommend those who are either visiting the area for the local games in town or event, to talk a brisk walk over to this sweet spot for their unique drinks! I had the "beehive" and a strawberry croissant. They do have plain croissants, chocolate croissants, muffins, and three different types of bagels - plain, everything, and cinnamon raisin.

    Ok experience here. Was looking for their latte art machine but they didn't have it working for some reason which was a little disappointing. Cool decor and good coffee. They have food items on the menu too and quick service. It's right next to Dunkin park which is convenient too.

    Found this coffee shop walking distance from our rental apartment while visiting Hartford. Across the street from Dunkin Park, a spacious yet cozy spot for reading, socializing, working, enjoying one's morning cup of joe. Dasia our barista was super friendly. We ordered a hot cup of coffee and a Cafe con leche. There was a cartoon on the wall mounted TV which Dasia offered to decrease the volume of for us. And then within minutes she opted to switch completely over to some mellow ambient music which we really appreciated. If we lived here, we'd stop by often! Super comfortable couches and loungey chairs available. Super clean bathroom you can use with a key.

    This cafe is amazing! Staff and baristas were so friendly and accommodating. The decor is beautiful and the aesthetic is choice! The breakfast wrap is insanely good, they gave me a sinus tea that is helping me get over a cold, 10/10 would recommend!!

    DoNo Cafe is a beautiful addition to the downtown area. This space has such a warm, welcoming and cozy atmosphere. There are comfy couches and matching rugs, making it look like home. The tables are chests with little succulents and candles on top. The large windows provide plenty of natural sunlight. Whoever came up with the design idea, knew what they were doing. The parking situation isn't ideal. You can park on the street for a small fee. Lucky for me, I found a spot right in front of DoNo Cafe. I came here with my mom and my brother. I got their Almond Joy Latte, my mom got the capuccino and my brother got the hot chocolate. I was super let down by my latte. First, as beautiful as this place is, I thought it would only be fitting if my latte came in a proper ceramic cup, instead of the paper nonsense. Next, this was not at all a latte. It was some very weak coffee, with some syrups added. There wasn't any foam like you would typically find in a latte. The almond joy flavor was ok. My mom's cappuccino looked like a cappuccino, however, it had no taste of coffee at all, as if it had been made out of just milk. My brother seemed happy with his hot chocolate. DoNo Cafe is dog friendly. There was a beautiful dog, who got everyone's attention with her charm. DoNo Cafe is a beautiful coffee shop, that I hope could improve their coffee craft.

    Love this cute coffee spot. It's about time we have a place like this in the metro area. I love the way this place feels warm and cozy and there is plenty of space. The sofa corners are great to have a group of friends to enjoy some chats and coffee. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The coffee was good and it's reasonably priced. I will be coming here for a morning pick me up.

    The cafe is located across Dunkin Park. There are three to six 2-hr parking spaces paid by meter and one 15-minute space for quick pick-ups. I circled 3 times to verify before actually parking. It's absolutely cute, clean and nicely decorated. I am a little bummed all the plants are fake. It provides nice aesthetics although I would've loved to see real plants. There are plenty of couches to lounge on. Anyone working remotely can definitely use this as a work area for a change of scenery. My friend said so herself and considers coming in the future for that purpose. The staff are very pleasant and brought my beverage to my seat. I didn't get the chance to verify if they ever serve with mugs. That would be a nice option. They have some baked goods that I didn't get to try too. I wanted to try a different beverage so I got the Strawberry Beso. It wasn't bad, it was more so not my taste. Looking forward to coming back again and trying something else.

They'd recently opened at the time. After 9 months we went again recently on December 27, 2025. We also brought our friends here after that. Yemerica's menu has expanded big time. They offer so many hot / iced lattes, refreshers, matcha drinks, mojitos, hot Yemeni beverages, fruit mojitos, Frappuccinos, etc. And they've also expanded their food menu. Now they have a wide variety of pastries and desserts to choose from, and bunch of non-sweet food items as well. The cafe is almost full at night / peak hours, especially on weekends. They have an area that can be reserved for meetings, study sessions, etc. They have ample of seating available for all group sizes. The staff is very friendly and patient. They have outdoor patio seating during warm weather and the interior has beautiful hand painted murals. Beverages: I've recently tried and liked their Abu Walad iced latte, Salted caramel iced latte, and Tiramisu iced latte. Adani chai was interesting & worth a try. My partner has tried their kiwi refresher and strawberry mojito. He really liked them both. Our friends tried the hazelnut hot latte, Kunda latte, and honey saffron latte. They were all real good. Food: Bee bites is such an interesting dish, so worth it. Their Treleche caramel was so soft. It melted as soon as the bite hit the tongue. Sabaya was a non-sweet item with just the right amount of honey sweetness. Marook with dates was an interesting balance of textures and taste. Z'atar Manakeesh is filled with flavours of herbs. Cheese pie was fluffy and soft. Their chocolate and tiramisu cakes looked delicious and I can't wait to revisit and try those among so many other things they have to offer.

Afterwards I stay downstairs and experienced the coffee shop. I ordered a gluten-free breakfast sandwich, which was really good. The bread was a bit firm, but I actually appreciated that since most gluten-free bread tends to fall apart. This one held up nicely. My honey latte was absolutely delicious, smooth, perfectly sweet, and beautifully made. There's also a cute outdoor seating area, great for relaxing with coffee on a nice day. Parking is on the street around the corner, since the street the shop is on is closed to cars and open to pedestrians only, which adds to the charm of the area. You order at the counter, get a number, and they bring your food right to your table. When you're finished, you clear your own dishes to the bin, which keeps the place tidy. I also noticed the staff going around regularly wiping tables and keeping everything clean and welcoming. Overall, Bloom Bake Shop has a great vibe, tasty food, and friendly service. Definitely worth checking out!

Is it a flower shop? Is it a coffee shop? Is it a bakery? Of course, it's all three. We popped in a little before their 1:00 Sunday closing today, and the only bakery items remaining were four lemon blueberry scones. We scooped up two of them at $3.75 each. Now a scone isn't always a scone. Some have the density and weight of a doorstop or a hockey puck. Not these, they were as good as any scone we've ever sampled. They were soft, fresh, and bursting with lemon and blueberry fruit and taste. They were exceptionally great. The interior was very pretty with flower displays, booths, tables, and plenty of goodies for sale like bags of granola, pastries, and sandwiches. The exterior dining patio was packed with customers finishing off their lunches or late breakfasts while sipping their coffees, espressos, cappuccinos, and lattes. Thank you, Bloom Bake Shop, for a very enjoyable visit.

They have plenty of seating, some upholstered furniture and we saw a few Friday morning telecommuters working on their laptops and sipping their coffees. Our order was a Chai Latte and a Cold Brew - each was $5. The pours were very large, and I swear that my cold brew was the very best I've ever had. I love coffee, drinking it hot or cold, and what I had here is in my all-time Top Five Percent. It was that good. I had a sip of my wife's Chai Latte and thought it was excellent as well. What really impressed me were the flavors of both drinks- not overpowering, but strong enough to appreciate them. The Coffee Guy has it all - specialty coffees, matcha, chai, espresso drinks, and pastries and sweet treats to pair with your coffee cup. We couldn't resist grabbing a few on our way out, and we took home a box with a Spinach croissant, iced blueberry scone, and a cruffin (croissant/muffin hybrid). We loved our visit to the Coffee Guy, and I was so impressed by the total experience, I just subscribed to their newsletter. So the next time we're looking for a midday break or afternoon pick-me-up..... I know a guy!
