I feel the need to leave this review here now just in case I forget to leave a actual proper long review. This is our third time, a humble looking joint so we come here always just expecting it's going to be " meh". But we keep coming back, collecting calories around our waist because everything is so good here! Service - always awesome. Everyone here looks like they work cohesively, everyone is smiling working hard . Coffees always refilled. Food- fantastic, always fresh, on point. This time I got an omelette with tomatoes and this is the first time I had an omelet where the tomatoes don't get mushy. Their hash browns are also amazing! ... while we like the shredded we LOVE the fried- like mini French fries. While all of their proteins are awesome - their turkey bacon deserves a special shout out because it often misses the mark at most places.. but not here . And then there are the little things - clean bathrooms, condiments on the table are clean and not sticky or gross !! Anyway, come here.

"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.

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.

Welllll I finally stopped last week on the way home from picking my son up at basketball camp. It's such a cute spot. They have seating inside and outside. The parking is a little hectic because there aren't many spots available right in front. You can park down to the left and walk. The inside is a bit crowded with seating to the left and right. The girl working at the counter was so sweet and had lots of great energy. Their menu is amazing with lots of choices and some great specials. I had a passion fruit lemonade and it was so good I got another one for the way home. I got a buffalo chicken salad and it was a good size salad! My son got a burger and fries and loved it. The fries were crinkle cut but bigger and seasoned perfectly. I haven't had fries like that before. I look forward to going back and trying more on their menu!

M's is a small breakfast and lunch spot with seating for about 10 people, but takeout seemed to be the focus. The atmosphere was fine, but not a selling point. More functional than nice. The service, however, is a selling point. They were friendly and efficient and comfortably interacted with any regulars that come though. I was impressed by the hustle of the two person team. I ordered a Hazelnut Black Iced Coffee, which I believe was an Omar roast. Smooth and got the job done. I also ordered a bacon, egg and cheese on a sesame bacon bagel. It was tasty and very well executed. Lots of well cooked bacon. The egg was fried just right. The bagel was substantial and had good texture. The American cheese was well melted. Magpie's definitely seems like a good place to stop for a quick takeout breakfast or sandwich. I also saw the cook was working on a big pot of fresh soup, 4.5 Stars

Finding parking was an event as it was snowing and I couldn't see the parking lines. The GPS took us to an area where we had to walk through an ally to find the diner. Walking in the diner was small and cozy. We were greeted quickly and seated. Our waitress had a great personality. We order the Phat Boy Breakfast and she warn us it was a lot of food. When it came out she was right! Everything was good from the pancakes to bacon. I wasn't able to finished it all. Overall I would come back and happy I found another breakfast spot.
