The worst dining experience I've had in 20 years in West Hartford. They started by telling us a…read moretable was ready when it wasn't, then tried to seat four people at a two top and it went downhill from there. Drinks were forgotten. The system accepted an order over the phone , then lost it. They forgot to deliver one meal, then when asked about it, it was still sitting under the warmer. The eggs were rubbery. They forgot the toast, and it arrived even later than the already late eggs. The manager has implied this is all our fault for not understanding technology. Their systems are chaos, their servers are inexperienced, and the entire meal was a fiasco. 0/10. Do not recommend.

An absolute gem on the Main Street downtown, Walnut Beach Coffee does not disappoint…read more The atmosphere here was fun and energetic. Local photography and art (available for purchase) were sprinkled on the walls. The staff was friendly. For food, I ordered the Turkey Bacon, Egg, and Cheese on gluten free bread. It was phenomenal. My friend got the avocado toast. One thing to note - the portions are large! It is incredible value for the price. I also ordered the 4th of July special the Blackberry Pie Latte. It was delicious. The blackberry and vanilla syrup combo are superb. This is a great spot to walk or bike to if you are staying in the area.

The staff was very kind and helpful as this was my first visit. You order at the bar and they bring the food right to your table. The waffles themselves were whole wheat and very filling. The cardamom latte was strong, I would opt for cardamom chai next time. It was fun to try something new. I wish I had bought a few pastries to take home, their display case is very tempting. Excellent for families/date night/solo time.

Wonderful selection of baklava and similar pastries. We ordered a coffee and I had a specialty coffee and we ordered 3 of the various pastries. It was more than $30. I did not ask the price on the pastries prior to ordering- so that's on me. This has the feel of a local stop and regulars so if you're in the area it's worth checking out.

A latte for Mrs. K. and a cortado for me, with it some Turkish Delight (original rose water, of course) and two small squares of walnut baklava for me. Absolutely perfect and such a comfortable place to sit for a bit. Beautifully decorated, comfortable seating, great coffee and so many delicious treats available.
