    Eggs Benedict
    Raki S.

    Nice place and plenty of seats Food was overall good Service kind and efficient Good place for coffee and work Coffee was not to my taste

    The coffee bar
    Lindsay N.

    Boy, wish we stayed awhile and grabbed brunch. We were in the area and dropped in at the Rebel Dog in Plainville for a coffee. I go to their Farmington location a lot and was expecting this spot to be similar... Nope, it's a full restaurant! The space is very big, broken up into a few sections; the coffee shop, a lounge area, tavern/restaurant with bar. Serving up breakfast favorites like eggs benedicts, toasts and lunch offings like burgers, salads and pizzas. The coffee shop was really nice and not busy at all for an early Saturday morning. The staff were lovely and talkative while we waited for our drinks. We ordered a couple of their seasonal drinks; honey lavender latte and cannoli latte. Both were very good and had a lot of flavor. I hope to swing by soon to experience the tavern!

    It is near an airport

    If you're coming here for brunch, get a reservation! It was the difference between having a table ready for my group, versus sitting on the (covered) porch. There is a parking lot with one row of parking immediately in front of the building (with handicapped spots), and a larger lot in back. The interior is very clean, very wood with a good amount of space between the tables. The menu is pretty varied but if you like brunch, you'll be happy. My Nova Scotia Benedict was delicious - I only wish I had more Hollandaise sauce. The eggs were also a little well cooked, but the fish and avocado were very well balanced. The upgrade of potato pancakes (as opposed to English muffin) was well worth it, and they added more flavor instead of soaking up all the sauce and had a little crunch.

    Ricotta Toast and Chai Latte
    Michele G.

    Have been here a couple of times for just coffee but went with a group of friends for brunch. Food is excellent- so many options on the menu and good quality. Great for both coffee/drinks too. Sat outside and service was excellent. Some people ordered sandwhiches, pizza, wings etc. I had ricotta toast- ricotta was great quality and my chai latte had great flavor. Quick with delivery and nice size space. Overall really enjoyed and recommend

    Stopped in for lunch on a trivia day. It was fun and I'm glad we came. The food was pretty tasty for brunch although a bit on the pricier end. I would come again because the food was good and trivia was a fun time. Server was pleasant as well!

    i've been coming here for years and it's been such a consistent staple. i can't speak for the tavern part but the coffee shop area has some nice seating options (though can be full on weekends), wifi, and good natural light from the windows (i've spent many hours working there on my laptop if you couldn't tell). the coffee is yummy and they always have great specialty latte options which is the true mark of a cool hipster coffee shop. plus plenty of parking and a convenient location. also can't leave this review without shouting out the iconic dog logo you get on every cup

    Original Benedict
    Shianne P.

    This was our first time here. The waitress was super friendly and knowledgeable. The food was delicious. I ordered off of the seasonal menu. I ordered strawberry pierogis for the table and a chicken apple sandwich with chips. My friends ordered eggs Benedict. I ordered the ginger bread coffee. I unfortunately do not recall what my friend had ordered her coffee is the woman with the decorative design.. my other friend ordered the Peru, which was pretty good. I love the atmosphere, and the music was fantastic. A great rotation of music. I'm a sucker for good food and good music at the same time. We got seats within five minutes of being there. I definitely recommend it.

    Definitely a different vibe from the one in Farmington. I think I'd like this location better. They have a tavern attached to the café . I met a friend for lunch and we were able to have breakfast around 12 o'clock which I thought it was great. They actually serve breakfast until 3 !! How awesome is that. Very modern casual, there were a lot of families with young kids but the noise level wasn't that bad. Lots of choices for drinks and a very good amount of choices for breakfast I thought. I ended up ordering the Santa Monica eggs Benedict and my friend wanted a veggie omelette which wasn't on the menu but they were very happy to accommodate. Our waiter/bartender was very nice!! I wish I remember his name. I order a hot tea which they brought into my old little tea pot !!How cute was that!!Love it!. We didn't feel rushed which was awesome and I will definitely go back.

    Iced coffee
    Jason P.

    My rating is only based upon my black iced coffee order: I am an iced coffee drinker (black) and a bit of a coffee nerd who reads many National coffee roaster Best Of and Award Lists. I order a lot of coffee from those roasters and home brew. I'm interested in the details about a coffee's roaster, origin, processing method and other factors. I recently went to Story and Soil Coffee in Hartford. They had a board that identified the source of their iced coffee that day. It was the first time I've seen that. It listed the roaster (National award winning CT roaster Giv), the country of origin (Ethiopia) and the processing method (natural as opposed to washed). This profile matches my tastes. I then had a good conversation with a person who I think was an owner about that coffee. The iced coffee was great - bright, with terrific fruit notes. For me, that is now the 5 Star gold standard for iced coffee. You've got to pick a great one, brew it well and be able to confidently tell me about it. I stopped by Rebel Dog Coffee ("RDC") today. There was no sign about the source of the iced coffee, but I asked the person taking my order about the iced coffee details. She initially said that she didn't know what kind it was, and then said she thought it was their "dark roast". I asked if it was roasted by Irving Farms, which I'm not familiar with, since I saw Irving Farms bags on a shelf. She said yes and thought that it was the Gotham variety, which is a blend rather than a single origin. It was a friendly conversation, but I didn't feel like I was talking to somebody who was very knowledgeable about RDC's coffee products. The RDC Gotham dark roast blend iced coffee was good, but not great. I prefer light-medium roasts. It was a well-balanced dark roast and wasn't over-powering. The aftertaste had hints of tiramisu. This iced coffee was better than the iced coffee served by most places, but, for me, not on par with the Giv Ethiopian iced coffee served by Story and Soil. RDC has a very cool menu with interesting pizza and sandwich offerings that I look forward to exploring, but it gets 4 Stars for my iced coffee.

    I stopped in here with my husband while running errands in the area to get a small snack and coffees to go. Boy am I glad we did! They had a really great drink menu with breakfast and some lunch foods as well as some snacks. I was so excited when they told me that the match latte was actually made with matcha powder and not with the syrup, I hardly ever find a place that does this. The pricing was reasonable and the quality was high. Additionally their chocolate coconut donut was delicious! Definitely recommend a stop in.

    Corned Beef Hash
    Scott R.

    Best coffee I've had since coming to CT - cold brew and drip coffee were both excellent. We also really enjoyed our food - corned beef hash skillet and Nova Scotia Benedict. Would recommend!

    Dunkaroo Latte
    Elisa F.

    I have come back here for coffee a few more times since my initial visit in 2019. Each visit has been better than the last, especially when you focus on the coffee. But I haven't ordered a cold brew or food since. But my review definitely needs to be updated. I've gotten several lattes since and they have been great! Just this past weekend, we tried their Dunkaroo Latte which has been a special a few times. It was tasty and such a fun flavor! It didn't really taste like a dunkaroo, but moreso like the frosting. It was so good! They had a bunch of other "throwback" flavors too, what a great idea!

    Cappuccino and bacon egg and cheese sandwich.
    Santosh H.

    This has become mine and the Mrs' Saturday morning ritual after dropping the daughter off for soccer. We get 1/2 hr before the game starts and rebel dog is the place to be. The cappuccino with skimmed milk in a real cup is my go to and the Mrs bounces back and forth between a coffee and hot chocolate. We also share a breakfast sandwich which always has grilled onions and banana peppers. Quality and Delicious. The service is prompt, and the atmosphere is a rustic cozy which I'd choose every-time over any Starbucks. Will definitely have to try the bar and lunch someday.

    Greeted warmly upon arrival and seated quickly. (Friday morning at 9:15)…read moreOur server was very friendly and kind. Our food was delivered really quickly and tasted great! The Sunny Side dish pictured usually comes with hollandaise sauce but I don't care for it so requested it not be added. My husband had a Meat Lover's omelette but started eating before I could snap a picture. He said it was very good. My daughter had the Californian subbing crispy tots for the sweet potatoes. One of her favorite dishes here. Love this place and will definitely return!

    "Won't be happy in this world If you're not by my side…read moreEllie, my love, so sweet" (Ray Charles) We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our lunch at Ellie's Farmhouse. There was a sense of Deja Vu when we drove into their parking lot, because at a bare minimum, TD Homers, Bickford's, and I think Howard Johnsons were here once upon a time. As far as casual dining modestly priced. "family" restaurants go; Ellie's Farmhouse was about as good as it gets. The interior is spacious and I liked the way the booths and seating in general were well spaced so you weren't on top of another party. The dining room has a country feel to it, with wide wood plank flooring. Service was stellar and we have to give a shout-out to our wonderful server Dawn. She was everything you want in a server -personable, funny, entertaining, informative, and just plain excellent. Our lunch started off with an unusual complimentary dish. Have you ever had apple slices sprinkled with cinnamon as a free starter before? I bet your answer was "no". Their menu offers breakfast and lunch from 8:00 - 2:00 during the week and until 3:00 on the weekend. I asked Dawn why Ellie's isn't open for dinner, and she said it was the owner's decision so he could spend more time with his family every day! We both went into the breakfast menu for lunch and my wife chose a Western Omelet with onions, peppers, ham, cheddar cheese, Served with one slice of toast and your choice of home fries, hashbrowns, or tots for $14.50. I went for their Breakfast Burrito with scrambled eggs, shredded potatoes, peppers, onions, black beans, pepper jack cheese, fresh guacamole with chipotle aioli and sour cream on the side for $12. It was offered with the same choice of home fries, hashbrowns, or tots. Added protein will cost you $2. I didn't add any protein, but I did ask for hot sauce and Dawn let me know their hot sauce is house made and has a $1 surcharge. My reasonably priced $3 iced coffee was strong and flavorful and very good. Both portions were enormous so half of each came home with us. My burrito was delicious, and that hot sauce was pretty much at the upper limit of my tolerance threshold. We were both very impressed with every aspect of our lunch at Ellie's.

Greeted warmly by our server, the coffee was served and it was fresh and delicious. I drink mine in black and I could taste the flavors. Some of the best coffee I've had in a long time. Diner style and delicious. I ordered the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on an English muffin. The egg was perfectly fried, along with the white American cheese, and tasteful bacon. Unfortunately, the bacon missed the mark, as it wasn't crispy. It was soggy. And the English muffin was very small and un toasted. It seemed to me like it was microwaved. How can you not toast an English muffin? So the sandwich itself was not solid whatsoever. But looking around at the breakfast platters, they look delicious and all of my friends seem to enjoy what they ordered. So just a quick note to the owners and the chef and the cooks, toast, the damn English muffin, please! Crispy bacon would be nothing out of the ordinary to ask This place is solid, looking around at the different orders for breakfast, I look forward to returning again and giving it another shot

Also had an avocado toast. Decent, added on tomatoes and pickled onions (both $0.75 additional each). The description said that the base (original total $9) for the build your own avocado toast had olive oil and lime on it but I honestly could not taste either. Not sure if they didn't add it or if it may have been mixed in with the mashed up avocado? If so I think it would be better if added on top. Had to put more salt and pepper on it but at least they had packets available to do so. Overall not bad but kinda overpriced (for example they had potato pancakes for $2.75/each?? And additional $1 for apple sauce and another $1 for sour cream? I think it would be better to have 3 pancakes with the add ons for all one charge). Service was good, basic cashier set up you pay before you eat, they serve your food to you w table numbers if you eat in and call out your name for drinks.

    "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.
