Since I was on my way to an event with food I didn't get to try any pastries this time but I did order a honey cortado and it was perfect. Smooth, lightly sweet, and exactly what I needed in the moment. I can't wait to come back and try some of their sweets next time!

I had a brief, but very positive first experience at Victus Coffee. I had heard great things from…read morefriends so I was excited to give them a try, and it was also one of the participating shops in the Hartford coffee crawl. I went to their downtown Hartford location. The space itself was comfortable, and the service was warm and welcoming. They don't offer as many specialty drinks or flavors as other places, but that's okay. Just keep that in mind. I ordered the honey mint cold brew. It was extremely straight forward, but also extremely tasty. The coffee was strong and had great depth of flavors. Very good quality coffee. The mint and honey complimented and highlighted it, playing only supporting roles. So that was all great. Unfortunately, the parking and traffic challenges that come with the downtown location will keep me from returning as often as I would like to. But if I were in the area, I'd happily make the stop! I have heard equally wonderful things about their Glastonbury location, though, so I'm excited to give that one a try too. If you're in the area, or just up to the Hartford traffic and parking, I would highly recommend Victus.

There are lots of seating options both indoors and outdoors, which is a nice plus. I tried the Island glow Refresher and really liked it -- very tasty, but quite sweet, and the syrup settled at the bottom so it needed a good stir. I also had the Honey Bun Latte, which was just okay for me; there was a bit too much cinnamon, and I could feel the grains on my tongue. They do have a Banana Brûlée Latte on the menu that I definitely want to come back and try. Overall, a great spot, and I'm looking forward to returning and exploring more of the menu.

It's not a super convenient location downtown, with limited street parking (I got lucky today), but I would definitely go back.

Also some light bites to try, which were not memorable. Items came out quick and got some quick pics before running. As a coffee, it really kinda lacked any notable flavor. No warming spices, no earthy or spicy notes. No flowery or grassy notes, no real distinction between a standard latte. Mostly just milk flavored and a little bit of coffee mixed in. I was really interested in a unique spin on a latte, but didn't really get much of anything. It's not bad, but it's very tame for a coffee shop. It's better than any coffee chain, but there's not a lot different in terms of flavor profiles.

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!

The overall quality of food and service is good enough to justify coming even if you're not viewing the collection (tell them at the desk so you don't pay admission for art you're not there to see). The menu is compact, but imaginative and varied and the food is high quality. The dining room borders the courtyard making for a nice setting (cool wall treatment too) and seasonal outdoor seating. I opted for a Reuben: nicely balanced on a tasty marbled bread. Out server Alycia wisely advised me to upgrade from fries to Brussels sprouts with the amazing (for Hartford) vino cotto sauce. Easily the best deal in town, they are delicious! On the downside, the little side of cold bean salad was bland and some workman was going at something pretty hard with a hammer drill during lunch service. I therefore have to ding them a star. On the bright side, the work's probably finished by now so you can have a relaxing meal. Something a little different and fun whether you're an art connoisseur or not!
