Came here during pride month and got their celebrate pride coffee, which was a cereal milk coffee with white chocolate drizzle, cupcake cold foam, and topped with fruit pebbles. It was on the sweeter side, but not too bad. For food, we got a bacon egg and cheese on everything bagel and a rainbow bagel toasted with chive cream cheese. Everything was very good, and came out quick This is a cool quirky little spot. read more

Finally got to check out this new cafe located in newington . The cafe is unique and curates to your inner emo ! From decor to the music to speciality drinks ! The cafe itself has great atmosphere if you love all things emo , however the cafe is small , limited seating ( for a popular cafe ) hopefully they do expand the seating . The food itself although lacked presentation was delicious . I got the egg and cheese. Simple but cooked well , and tasted good . For my drink I tried the "wolf in sheep's clothing " which is a hot or iced vanilla salted caramel latte topped with cookie butter cold foam and biscoff crumble ! And it was amazing ! Highly recommend ! Most importantly what I loved is that it is a full coffee bar they have a lot of options and flavours and you can make your coffee your way. Or choose a speciality drink ! I loved all the options They also had options of food for breakfast and lunch ! Also they have VEGAN options which is amazing too ! Service was really good to staff was friendly and I got my food pretty quickly considering it was a busy time Overall 4/5 for the good food / drinks and atmosphere but I would love for more seating ( and more comfortable seating ) read more

I love their themed drinks and that they have so many options. The café itself it's such a fun place in the music is top-tier! I found a new favorite song just from being in there :-) I went to EMO tree painting around the holidays and that was such a fun event! One of my friends was gluten-free and the owners remade her cake pop so she could have them. They are so kind and it's just such a fantastic experience. Definitely recommend. read more

I love their vegan sandwich. Like I am hooked. Vegan egg and cheese with vegan bacon is fire. I wish they did the loaded tots vegan but I have never asked the chef. I'm willing to bet he'd be open to the idea. Either way, they have a customer for life. I love the music and how homey the place is. Their tots are fire too. I'm always tempted to try their lattes but I haven't yet because I'm just not trying to be hooked on their whole menu haha . Would def recommend. read more

Not A Phase Cafe could easily be one of those places where a middle aged guy, who thinks he's still cool, suddenly realizes, he's not so cool anymore; but, Not A Phase is not that place. Not only did I feel welcomed, but comfortable as well, in spite of the mostly younger, diverse clientele, and the skull on top of the Christmas tree (Although I can't speak for the obviously older than me gentleman, wearing a faded ball cap and a union patch on his working man's jacket, that hesitantly entered after me). The focus is obviously on beverages; but, what I ordered from the limited food menu, the breakfast burrito, was well worth the trip. Each bite contained a chunk of thick, chewy bacon with peppered egg and a mildly spicy filling. It's been hours since I stopped in; and, it still feels as if I've eaten enough for the day. Initially, the blue haired, lip pierced cahier told me the wait would be about ten minutes; but, my food was ready well within that time, even with a steady stream of customers coming and going. It did, however, allow me enough time to savor the surprisingly rich, nutty flavored house blend coffee, which, of course I ordered plain, black. The total, with tip, was fair at $20.04. To sum it up, Not A Phase is a cool place (although, not "punk" as the website describes itself. It was more blended, with metal vibe, if you ask me); and, I enjoyed eating there; so, yeah, I'm still cool read more

Good coffee and breakfast sandwiches Came here after hearing about their opening on social media. Got here as they were just opening. Space is a little small but lots of character. Lots of metal, dark tones and black lights. It's funky but not over the top. The menu is standard breakfast fare, iced and hot coffee. Avocado toast and breakfast burritos. The owners were handling the kitchen and front end. Very friendly couple, were polite and helpful. Got an iced coffee and a sausage egg and cheese bagel. Food and drink came out pretty quick, saw them snap some pics of a really good looking cold brew, then dug in. The coffee was strong but not overly bitter. Milk helped, but needed a little to counter the bitter bite. The bagel was good, eggs cooked well, sausage was seasoned, and there was a good amount of cheese. Portion for the price was reasonable, and the quality was there. As a local breakfast spot, it's got a good start. There's some character in the location, food and drink is good. Would like to see some highlighted drinks on the menu, espresso drinks, and something unmistakably dark. Maybe some ube or charcoal rolls for the sandwiches? For the area, it's a very solid eatery. Worth a try if you're in the area read more

Newington has a New Emo Themed eatery -- Not a Phase Cafe. And Team Emo is already there for it. They serve lunch and breakfast, and coffee made with Bones Coffee beans, and they've got all the syrups. They serve breakfast sandwiches on a choice of bread, including on banging bagels made by a guy named Wes. True Story You may recognize the owner/cook from his stint at Goldburgers.

The space is cozy without feeling cramped, perfect for catching up with a friend or just soaking in the ambiance. The drinks are custom made while you wait, with the baristas actually encouraging you to taste your order so they can tweak it to perfection. That kind of attention to detail is rare, and it shows in every sip. Honestly, their coffee blows the big chains out of the water. Service was friendly and genuine, and the prices were refreshingly reasonable. Bonus points for the outdoor seating: ideal for prime people watching and enjoying a sunny afternoon. All in all, a fantastic experience. Check it out for yourself! read more

First visit and loved this spot already! We were big fans of the old place, so happy we have a new spot to get our breakfast sandwich fix. We didn't order the coffee, but got a sandwich on a bagel and the breakfast burrito. I absolutely loved the burrito and it wasn't too heavy. The salsa verde absolutely made this a 10/10! We can't wait to try more and see how their menu expands as they settle in. I for one vote for more sauces to add to brekkie sandwiches like a chipotle mayo, etc! Bonus points for having hashbrowns we can add to our sandwiches as well - big win and harder to find than you'd think! read more

So you know that sound when someone's finishing their drink with a straw, and you just want to say, "It's done!"...but they keep going? That was me today at Not a Phase because my drink was THAT good. I tried a custom creation Dirty Energy Drink that I spotted on Instagram with a blue raspberry Celsius and green apple cold foam (yes, it's real, and yes, I need it). I was over the moon. I love that this café offers energy drink options because coffee doesn't always agree with me, so it was such a fun, refreshing change. Next time I'm coming back for one with a Sour Patch Kids! My son had a bacon, egg & cheese and called it the best breakfast sandwich he's ever. I went with the blueberry pancakes that were fluffy, delicious, and served with high-quality butter and syrup. They easily rank as some of the best pancakes in Newington. I also spotted the rainbow pancakes at another table (so fun!) and the breakfast burrito is on my must-try list. Inside, the vibe is everything: cute, retro café décor, Instagram-worthy logo, and a cozy atmosphere that honestly didn't even feel like Newington. Service was warm and friendly, about a 20-minute wait on a busy Sunday morning, which is totally fine for brunch. Overall, this is a new local favorite in the making for Newington. Between the creative drinks, solid breakfast menu, and funky vibe, I think the town really needed a spot like this. I'll absolutely be back to explore more of the menu, and I'm wishing them all the success! read more

Not a Phase Cafe is brand new to the center of Newington. They're an "emo" cafe. Right as you walk in you'll find wall art of a dog with red hair, with a nose ring and a lip piercing, holding a cookie and a coffee. When I was here just a few days ago, they had the cafe decorated in Beetlejuice theme. They of course offered some specialty Beetlejuice coffee drinks. They have a broad menu of specialty coffees, teas and energy drinks. As far as food, they offer pancakes, burritos, bagels and toast. I decided to get The Sharpest Lives off their special menu. This was supposed to be raspberry iced coffee. I wasn't sure if it was supposed to taste the way it did, or if it was missing something. It tasted like a very watered down coke. Since I am non confrontational, I was going to sip on it verrryy slowly, each time making a sour face. Well, my friend walked it to the counter and kindly explained that it wasn't good and requested a drink called Famous Last Words instead. They were very generous to make me a new drink. Famous Last Words is a white chocholate Iced coffee, with cherry cold foam and Oreo pieces. This was very sweet and very colorful. This is not the type of drink I would usually get, but I wanted to try a typical drink from Not a Phase. It was pleasant enough, but not a favorite. The cherry cold foam made my teeth, face and hands red, despite using a straw. We also got a breakfast burrito to share. This burrito had scrambled eggs, avocado, tater tots and bacon. This was fresh and tasty, I enjoyed the spicy kick. Next time I'd like to try a more basic coffee and another lunch option. Not a Phase Cafe is a fun and unique concept in Newington. read more

Tried this cafe a few weeks ago and i love the emo theme, it's very unique! I got a red bull with blood orange syrup and nerds candy and i thought it was a really nice pairing, it tasted really good! I ended up getting an egg and cheese on a sesame bagel and added chive cream cheese- the sandwich was ok. the egg was super runny making it very messy to eat and the bagel was a little tough. i also originally came in here to try some of their specials but there weren't any available, but i would consider coming back to try them. and i will say i think the prices are a little steep. read more

I was so excited to try this place after seeing it pop up online a few times, but I left feeling a little disappointed. With a name like Not A Phase, I was so ready to be transported to such a fun era in so many peoples lives, but it kind of felt like most other standard coffee shops. I was bummed to walk in and see just options for hot or iced coffee, no fun or themed drinks or specials. There's an extensive flavors list, but that's about it just flavored syrups. Their gimmick of different types of energy drink beverages is pretty neat and not super common. That's just not really my jam so it was probably wasted on me and maybe that's my bad. For food I ordered a sausage egg and cheese which was great. Service was a little slow but that's not unexpected for a new place, I'm sure they'll work out their kinks. Overall the experience wasn't bad, and I always root for new small businesses so I hope with time it only gets better. Sadly I can't see myself driving all the way here again when there's so many other places that stand out more along the way for me. read more

This new cafe opened a few months ago in my hometown and it is too cute!!! I included a picture of their coffee specials. I got an iced king for a day and it was SO good. Honestly delicious. Whatever kind of sweet crunchy topping was on it was addictive. They have a huge selection of syrups for coffees and sodas. The possibilities are endless. And this place was busyyy. They do breakfast and lunch but we had just come from brunch so we didn't try any of their food. They had an artist selling his prints as well. Very cool to see a local joint supporting local artists. Next time I'm here I'll be sure to stop back in. read more

Know they've only been open for a few days so offering a few suggestions for improvement. The good: Overall friendly staff and pretty quick considering the line out the door. Our sandwiches were tasty! The bad: It's odd to me to call yourself a specialty coffee shop when there's no espresso drinks. I prefer oat milk, but they just use a plain oat milk not a barista blend like most specialty coffee shops so it all just dissolves or settles at the bottom. They do have specialty DRINKS--energy drinks with candy in them, etc. which might be a better term to describe. While service went pretty quick, there was a lot of staff standing around behind the counter. There must be things they could do to help expedite the long line. My husband and I both got egg sandwiches and arbitrarily mine was with cheddar and his was with American-- no one asked and no preference was given, which was a bit odd. But the biggest flaw here is the ambiance! There was no music playing the entire time we were there. The emo energy was very minimal. There could definitely be more done to give a proper vibe. If they don't fix a few things...it might be a phase. read more

Our haul included a big tray of eggplant parmesan ($11.99), a small container of chicken salad ($7.99), a big container of Street Corn Salad ($11.99), a serving of Mango Pineapple Bread ($2.95) and Coconut Zucchini Bread ($2.95), and an Everything Biscuit (just $1.49). Bake Market has refrigerated and freezer cases on the walls with entrees and pastas and sauces and salads and desserts. It reminded me of the Pasta Vita store we used to visit in Avon. We split the chicken salad for lunch on Wednesday and enjoyed it very much, it was heavy on diced chicken and light enough on the diced celery and mayo that it was very hearty and not overrepresented by the rest. We decided to split the Everything Biscuit with lunch and I really liked the texture and savory taste of the everything spice. We split the Street Corn salad for Friday dinner, and it was a big portion of sliced Romaine, diced bacon, sliced radishes, roasted corn, tortilla strips, and grated Cotija cheese. It was very good; the lettuce was super fresh with plenty of bacon and corn. We split the Mango Pineapple Bread for dessert and that was excellent too. It was dense, sweet, full of flavor, and quite wonderful. The Coconut Zucchini Bread was so-so. I didn't think it had much of a flavor, and besides the blandness it was incredibly messy with shredded coconut everywhere. Our Bake Market sampling ended with their Eggplant Parmesan. It was a massive 2-lb tray that cost just $11.99. And how can I NOT mention that containers of fresh pasta AND sauce were included! We made four servings out of it. The eggplant parm was made out of a very thick single slab of breaded/fried unpeeled eggplant, and not the multiple layers of thin slices stacked up lasagna-style you customarily see. It had plenty of sauce and plenty of cheese, but how was the eggplant itself? I gotta tell you, when I saw that thick slab, my radar went up because I had a feeling it would be rubbery, tough, and unappetizing. But my doubts were short-lived after my first bite. It was delicious and tender and full of flavor without a hint of grease. Honestly, it was one of the best representations of eggplant I've had in a while. So, there you have it, a nearly perfect score on a variety of foods, and a very satisfactory $39 haul that scored high on quality and value.

Naturally, I sprinted here after seeing on social media they started selling the viral crookie…read more(cookie croissant) and it was SO worth it. I didn't know what to expect, but it was delicious -- the perfect mesh of flaky and doughy textures with the slight warmth was divine. I also saw they had pistachio matcha lattes so I decided to try one. It was surprisingly pretty tasty despite the color not being a very deep green. They also offer several samples, which I was excited about, but I was disappointed because they were all salty -- even the zucchini bread that I expected to be more neutral/sweet. The bagels were also very flat. Maybe their sweets just happen to be better?

They do well at their establishment and are well known. I have been here for cannolis in the past but came today especially for the Italian St Joseph Zeppole's which they had still available for the month of March.

I've been to other places for them It's a great little restaurant with a huge variety of baked goods all showcased and displayed nicely. The staff is very helpful and patient.

"Jenny Jenny you're the girl for me Oh, you don't know me…read more But you make me so happy" (Tommy Tutone) Pastel prettiness will be your first reaction when you cross the threshold and enter Jenna's sweet world. Pastel colored macarons, pastel colored cupcake icings, and a pastel pink greeting of "Sweet Life" on the wall. The showcases and counters are filled with beautiful baked goods - cakes, cookies, cupcakes, cakesicles, macarons, bars, custom chocolate dipped treats, and cannolis. We had a tough time deciding what to buy, and after much deliberation chose a Brookie ($4.75) - a Blondie-ish half brownie and half cookie, and a mini blueberry cheesecake cupcake (also $4.75). They were both very good, but that Brookie was in a class of its own! It was amazing, and if you like dense, chewy, sweet, chocolatey treats, well you really need to get your sweet self over to Sweets By Jenna!

Our First impression as soon as we walk in was how spacious and cozy it looked.

I popped in because the parking lot was mostly empty. It wasn't particularly busy in the cafe either. There were two small groups ahead of me in line. I order my food and black iced coffee to go. I received my food. It even had to be heated. And I had to wait 10 minutes for them to give me my black iced coffee. Even though there are only two or three people waiting in the drink area. And that was after I said something. So who knows how long it would have taken. This isn't because of lack of effort. The baristas were doing things. They're making lots of drinks. But it's not clear for whom. They finish the drinks and they don't call people's names. Maybe they're for to go orders? I understand that restaurants need to make choices about how they run things. All I can say is, that it's not a good experience to get all of your food and you have to wait for a black iced coffee (a drink that takes very minimal effort) for 10 minutes. Even though you're one of only a few people in the drink area. I'm not going to change my review score. But these experiences definitely affect how often I visit.

While the pastries are classic and exactly what you'd expect from a high-caliber Italian bakery, the real gem is the Italian ice located in the cafe. Good lord, the flavors and quality are on a different level--this isn't that Rita's or DQ garbage. The chocolate and strawberry combination is specifically incredible, honestly better than Godiva chocolate-covered strawberries. It provides that deep, rich profile and authentic taste that defines their Itallian vibe. One professional tip for anyone stopping by: bring cash. The cafe doesn't accept cards, and you don't want to be the one standing there empty-handed when you're that close to the best Italian ice on the planet

Particularly during the holidays, where he is talking about how to prepare your holiday meals. Second, my friend from New Jersey is probably the Duchess of Stew Leonard's and I had to see what this was all about. Here is my story It's like going to a Trader Joe's if you're on the West Coast, BuCees if you're on Central and southeast part of the country or I don't know I suppose a typical local giant supermarket. Here are my observations. They accommodate the local people they have so many things you can do with your children. If you're shopping in the store, they have mascots and different games you can play. The store is clean and organize organized There are many local products, they support the local community Would I go back? Probably if I lived closer, I would love to buy their vegetables which was very neatly displayed and priced. They were busy! That says something right?

No artificial flavors, colors, high fructose corn syrup....none of that stuff. Family owned since 1915. They make their own ice cream. One location.

Both divine. You could see and taste small chunks of banana. Naturally, I got a brain freeze after about 30 seconds. Am intrigued by "6 flights for $10.20". Next time. 5 smooth, creamy, dense stars!

Their menu is large with salads, soups, enchiladas, tacos, burritos and more. My friend got an order of three tacos off their specials menu. They featured jack cheese, skirted steak, guacamole with corn and cilantro. I got two pork belly tacos with red onion and cilantro. These tacos are super fresh, flavorful and filling! Granted my friend's order was a lot more filling, I was also happy with my smaller portion. I appreciate them, since they are primarily a take out spot, they still served us in proper dishware, none of that disposable nonsense. We also received complimentary chips and salsa. The only complaint I have is that their drink machine was down. They have some very tasty Mexican drinks for sale, but they are very sweet.

One of my friends asked me (quite earnestly) if I had ever been to the Community Room Cafe for breakfast because "it's really great". Well, we went there today and I sincerely want to thank that unknown Yelper because the Community Room Café is excellent. We found it in the Constitution Square retail area bounded by Cedar St., E. Main St., Market Sq and Lowrey Place in the center of Newington, CT. Parking is plentiful in the Square's large parking lot. Their space is amazing -big, cheerful, inviting, comfortable, colorful (plenty of orange and black). There are plenty of various seating options in the form of couches, upholstered chairs, table/chair groupings, and counter-style seats by the windows. We saw a few medium sized groups gabbing away at the upholstered seat area and a few industrious folks clattering away on their laptops. We each went with an Avocado Toast (@ $9) with mashed avocado, diced egg, diced tomato, bacon crumbles, cilantro, and Everything bagel seasoning blanketing a big slice of toasted rye. Seriously, one of the best breakfasts we had this year. I went with a small cold brew coffee and a shot of sugar-free caramel ($4.25) while my wife went with a small light roast coffee ($3). We loved everything about the Community Room Café- the food, the vibe, the décor, the service.... Everything.

After eating, I stayed another hour to finish a book I was reading. I would definitely visit again.
