Great little hidden gem. Tucked away in a small plaza So G offers a great variety of coffee at some of the best prices you'll find in the area. Staff was friendly and helpful. Seating inside was limited but they also have plenty of seating (some covered/some not) outside. Honestly I have nothing to complain about. Parking was easy and plentiful as well. read more

My husband often visit when I go to village wool. This time I went in too since I needed a drink and something sweet to soothe my mouth after eating spicy food I had no business ordering. I got an iced chair with almond milk and coffee cake. I found the chai to be bitter, it tasted like the black tea had been over brewed. The coffee cake was solid though. I also picked up a tea tasting notebook and I'm excited to use. Hopefully the staff doesn't remember me yelling at myself because I'd almost stolen the notebook by accident. read more

Came by on my way to the library! Thank you Austin! Honestly probably the best smoothie I've had in awhile. 9:15 and they're already out of chocolate mocha muffins (a treat .... Gosh I crave one of these once in a blue moon but they're made fresh & alas it is alright & I will survive without one) ... I chatted for just a moment and already 3-4 people were behind me! Always a pleasure and this place is absolutely a South Glastonbury staple. Coffee is brewed every hour on the hour & it is cozy inside. Friendly and it's that vibe where the local patrons will recognize you (if you stop in frequently enough around the same time). I don't make it by as often as I used to but always feel so welcome. Thank you :) read more

So G Coffee Roasters - Smoothie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - South Glastonbury, Connecticut

Quaint small local in house coffee roasting shop in the quiet corner of South Glastonbury. Was coming back from visiting my brother and decided I wanted a nice hot drink. Saw So G and decided to pop in. We purchased 2 drinks my husband made us own Latte with a blend of 2 flavored syrup options. And I tried the Irish Cream Latte Special with 3 shots espresso. I can say this was one of best Latte's I have had in a while no bitterness not too sweet. I enjoyed it so much I drank it too fast. Hubby did the same thing.....only thing was he got a sip of mine said it was really good. I didn't get to try his which he said was just as good and said he'd definitely make sure he stops in here when in the area. You can even get coffee beans here to make your own coffee at home. They have some baked goods as well but, most were gone since it was around 2 when we stopped in. But, we will definitely stop by again and hopefully get to try them out as well. read more

In the area for a walk and fresh picked corn and stopped for a Black Iced Coffee (Viennese Dark Roast), savory scone and Caffeine Free Red Iced Tea with Lemon and Orange. My iced coffee was good. It's not my preferred flavor or roast profile for iced coffee, but it was well executed. My wife liked her tea and the fruit offer was a nice touch. The cheddar, chive scone was fresh and tasty. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was So. Glastonbury farm area laid back. There was about a 10 minute line, but I thought they worked through it fairly well. Four Stars. read more

Cozy and friendly setting. I prefer the steel oats with toppings and a nice hot matcha latte. A South End gem.

Went for the coffee cake and chocolate croissants. Did not disappoint. Line moves quickly.

This rating pertains only to their beans for sale. Given the crowd on the Saturday before Easter I surmise they have a loyal following, likely due to their food, beverages, and service. Their beans are another story. Located near the entrance, they are displayed in bags with only the country of origin indicated. No information on roast, roast date, flavor notes, processing, or anything else, including price. Had they not been so crowded I might have ordered a coffee to go but there's no way I would have purchased any of the mystery beans. read more

Best latte I've tried in Glastonbury. Always look forward to stopping by whenever I'm in the area.

Dear owner this is a warning. Take it seriously. You will stop asking for 35% as the first option on the rediculous tip menu. Who the heck do you think you are? I'm warning you to fix it or else. Bad things for you will come. Great coffee and food but stop it! Grow up!!! read more

Cozy coffee shop that roasts their own beans. Both indoor and outdoor seating A wide variety of drink options A few pastries for food options I got a blueberry muffin and a vanilla latte. The latte was terrible (incredibly burnt) but the muffin was pretty good 3 read more

Very good coffee and in a very cute location! I just wish they had more dessert options, but I did go at 3:30pm on a Monday so it could've just been because of the timing. I would definitely go again! read more

Very good beans and a staff to match. They also have the best selection of freshly roasted decaf I have found. Definitely worth the trip, especially if you are in Glastonbury and want better coffee. read more

The past few times I've been to So G we've been annoyed by the crowd that seems to hang out there regularly. I'd assume the place was dog friendly, but I was yelled at by another patron for walking inside with my well behaved dog to order my coffee. I was actually surprised by the staff who heard it and didn't acknowledge the situation. I sadly won't be going out of my way to come here anymore. read more

My first day living in Glastonbury. Woke up and needed coffee. This is the closest coffee shop to my new house. I walked in and felt very welcome straight away. The vibe is great, seems like a lot of regulars, which I will become. The woman behind the counter seems to know all her customers. The coffee is fantastic, smooth and tasty. I didn't get any of the baked goods but they look quite tempting. I will be frequenting this place. read more

I was told I needed to try this place while visiting for the first time in the area, I'm so glad I did! Granted I was the only one standing in line who the baristas didn't already know what I was going to order, lots of regulars there, but she suggested what I might like best based on a few quick questions and I was on my way within minutes with some steamy delicious coffee. read more

I stopped by here on a Thursday morning last week by myself for my morning coffee. So G is located in a strip mall of sorts and has both an outdoor patio area as well as indoor seating. Whenever I arrived at just before 9 AM on a Thursday morning the place was pretty packed. All of the indoor seating was taken and some people were sitting outside as well. The inside of this place looked a little smaller than what I expected from the outside but that's not saying that it was small. I imagine it was probably half due to the number of people inside. Anyways they have a tile floor with some tables and then a display case with limited goodies as well as a coffee bar. I saw pictures of a coffee roaster on Yelp but didn't notice it during my brief visit. For my coffee on this morning I went with my usual large Americano. It was ready within minutes and I was quickly out the door and on my way. Once it had cooled down a bit I was able to try it. It was strong and smooth and tasted alright. For some reason I didn't find it to be anything more than A-OK even though there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. The bottom line for me is that I might stop by here again in the future. While So G certainly wasn't my cup of tea, the coffee seemed to be of good quality and I saw many others enjoying it. read more

So G Coffee Roasters - Large Americano - Coffee & Tea Near Me - South Glastonbury, Connecticut

It's been a long pending visit to this coffee shop, we can never make it mainly coz of their timings they are open until 4:30 on weekdays and close by 1 on weekends. It's a tiny space with a bar, sofa and 2 tables theres also some seating out on the porch. The cappuccino was good but I hate it when they serve coffee in a togo cup... maybe it just me but I find a lot of difference drink from a cup, tastes much better. They also sell coffee beans (you can have it ground) to enjoy your cup-a-joe at home. It's nice stop for a quick sip gets too busy to sit in there.Uh! Maybe that's y the togo cup,hmmm. read more

The absolute best coffee house around love all the folks live the fresh baked goods great homely atmosphere!!!

I am so happy I stopped in here today. So G is such a cute spot, and the coffee is definitely the best I've had in Connecticut to date, nice and smooth. The coffee cake was huge and delectable, and the peach granola muffin, while seemingly absent of granola, was very tasty and had real pieces of fruit in it. Love the atmosphere with the metallic roof, various seating options, and large window with generous table space. I literally cannot wait to come back. read more

Casual, comfortable atmosphere with super friendly and attentive staff. Yeah, btw, awesome coffee too!

Family run and it feels that way. There's a great vibe and culture around this place. Coffee is excellent, and if you have enough self restraint, get a coffee cake: they're phenomenal! read more

I'm not from around here, but I prefer local shops over Starbucks (tastes burnt and always too sweet). Back home I go to a place that roasts their own organic beans and have great snick-snacks. This place is definitely a new go to for coffee when I come to see my sister. Loved the muffins, too! read more

Nice venue, pleasant staff. The coffee has a nice flavor. The cappuccino was below average because the milk was overheated and the foam was like a meringue they had to scoop on with a spoon. read more

Worth the trip out of town an extra mile or two. Then check out the ferry. Great coffee read more

Wanna start your day off right? Take a ride down to South Glastonbury and you'll be in for a treat of your favorite coffee, tea or espresso! -They have very good coffee, as you would imagine. Once they pour it, you have to walk to the back wall and add your cream etc. -We tried two bakery items, one with circle- dough covered walnuts in it, another was a apple-filled croissant which my daughter loved! -Very friendly staff -Clean & cool place to hang out , drink coffee & read the paper or meet up with friends. -I personally love my coffee in a mug, but was served with a plastic cup. I know that places such as Panera Bread will gladly offer you a ceramic mug if you are staying there for a while. I wonder if So G Coffee Roasters practices this as well?? -They have a variety of home roasted coffee, so be sure to ask for the one that's most suitable for you. I tried their light roasted breakfast bland! Was great! -Attention Tea Lovers, they have a dozen glass jars off pure tea leafs. A joy to just see this behind the counter top, so I'm sure any tea enthusiast would appreciate this place as well!!! I added a picture of the sign in front of the plaza, so that you won't drive by it like we did! Parking was perfect, right in front of the establishment. There is a grocery store and restaurant as well within this plaza. This was a morning weekday visit..there a few tables already taken, as the locals were enjoying their coffee's and pleasant atmosphere, including tin ceilings, and their "Roaster" just behind my back from where my daughter & I were sitting. -We'll be back again!!! Can't wait!!!! Cheers with my coffee raised up high! read more

So G Coffee Roasters - Coffee & Tea Near Me - South Glastonbury, Connecticut

This should be the only coffee shop on your radar. Ever. I stopped into So G on a whim after hiking through Cotton Hollow. I needed a caffeine pick me up, but when I saw their menu offerings I couldn't pass up a quick snack as well. What struck me immediately about So G was the genuine friendliness of the girls behind the counter. They were incredibly helpful, offering suggestions to my little cousin who is not a coffee house regular, and thoroughly explaining fun facts about the menu as they went through it. I asked if the sweet potato chipotle soup was vegetarian (it was), and was told how they get their soup from a small company in New York where it is made in small batches and shipped fresh. I was then offered a sample to try before buying. The whole interaction felt like an easy conversation with friends, and totally made my day. I decided on an iced americano and a bowl of the sweet potato chipotle soup. Both were phenomenal. The soup did indeed taste homemade, and was a delicious puree of sweet potatoes with a hint of smoky spice. (Soups also come with a choice of bread of crackers, but I opted for neither that day.) My americano was bold and smooth, just what an americano should be. I enjoyed both of these treats, nestled in at a cozy table in the small but very inviting dining area. Honestly, I had an absolutely perfect experience at So G, thanks to their incredible staff and impeccable coffee and soup. I cannot wait for my next visit! Thanks again, So G!!! read more

We had heard about this amazing coffee shop and we were in the neighborhood and started to pop in quickly on a Friday at 2:00pm. It wasn't busy. This is a quaint little coffee spot. I got an iced vanilla latte with oat milk and it wasn't overly sweet. It was the perfect pick me up coffee for the afternoon. My husband got a mocha and it was done to perfection. read more

Great coffee in a quaint and cozy atmosphere. I got the French roast and my husband got a double shot of decaf espresso. So delicious he decided to take home some freshly roasted beans. Definitely off the beaten trail. The staff is warm and welcoming. Seating indoors or al fresco with ample outdoor seating. A nice assortment of sweet and savory baked goods if you care to indulge. read more

Great coffee. Owner on site is very involved, takes pride in the business. Coffee beans are unique. People are cheerful there. It feels like community there. read more

I discovered So G Coffee Roasters while looking for coffee in an unfamiliar area where my nephew was playing soccer. The coffee was delicious; there was a nice selection of decaf beans (organic and fair trade, I think) at a good price. The interior was small but cute, and there was a table to 4 old cronies passing a crossword book from guy to guy. What's not to like? read more

Sweet as the whipped cream on my strong espresso is the service at So G. A cozy coffee shop, with a roaster featured right at the center of its back wall as well as a beautiful patio along the front outside of the shop, So G has so good vibes. It was felt by several others, too, who were relaxing out on the patio during the sunny day I visited. It is a great spot to work in or meet with friends. I instantly felt welcomed and comfortable the moment I stepped in to the shop. What makes this shop is the service. When I stopped in for my first visit, Rachel was the server with another very kind barista. I asked Rachel what she'd suggest, and after she named several delicious-sounding options, she said her favorite was the espresso con panna (a shot of espresso with whipped cream). She said they could do a single or a double--whipped cream, that is. I asked her what she would do--how could I not trust her judgment after naming my new favorite dessert as her favorite?--and she said double. I nodded, it was understood--I'll make it double. Perfection. This espresso is extremely strong and bold. The double shot of whipped cream balanced it nicely. This is quality espresso and, needless to say, service. Both baristas were very welcoming and kind; they knew regulars, too, as I saw a few walk in during the time I was there and the baristas asked to verify their orders before crafting them. Where else but a local coffee shop like So G can you get that kind of service and recognition? The espresso itself is strong and delicious, the drink options plenty (not just coffee for those who may not like it, with tea, hot chocolate, lemonade, and local soda), the choice of baked goods to go along with your drink a good selection. On my way out, I snagged a freshly squeezed lemonade, on top of which Rachel carefully placed a slice of lemon. Refreshing and perfect for a summer day. Everything in the shop is well priced, too, considering the quality of drink and service that you receive!! So G is a little tricky to find as it is tucked in a small strip-mall area, so just watch out for the tall sign with a number of stores on it. Your coffee senses will likely heighten, as mine did, when I got closer to So G. It is not a shop that you want to miss. My overall impression: So G so has it. read more

The coffee and espresso beverages are delicious and the service was great. We bought bagels to accompany our coffee for breakfast. I would repeat the coffee, not the bagels. read more

Fun, cozy, tiny place. Walking in we were immediately greeted by the friendly staff. I ordered a chai tea latte which was creamy and yummy although I like a little bit more spice in my chai. The decor is sweet and has a rustic feel. I would have liked if it was a little bigger as it was hard to hear my friends talk. Parking lot has plenty of room in the back (not a lot in front as they are next to Gardiners). Overall, a cute place and wanna go back to try their coffee! read more

I went to SoG for the 1st time this morning because of all the raving reviews so I wanted to check it out. The mocha was good but unfortunately there was a loud mouth patron there spewing all this maga Trumpian nonsense that ruined the whole experience. It's a small place so he made sure everyone could hear him. When he started making monkey noises I immediately left. He appeared to be a regular customer because the employees knew him but in this case he should have been told to stfu. I won't go back. read more

If we lived in South Glastonbury we would be regulars here! It is a tiny little coffee shop but it is alive with a real sense of community. Whether you need a quick caffeine fix while out and about, or need some coffee grounds to make at home, So G has what you need. So G has the best roasted coffee grounds that you can get in the area-- and a variety of different types to suit your every need. If you don't have a coffee grinder at home you can get them ground right in the store, specific to the type of brewing you will be doing. One thing I especially appreciate is that they have full size bags and also half bags, so we can get one specifically for the french press and one with finer grounds for the aero press. We love So G! read more

As soon as you walk into So G Coffee Roasters you are pleasantly greeted by the wonderful smell of fresh coffee. If you are looking for the ideal "cozy & cute coffee shop" ...this is it. So G is almost hidden away in a small plaza located in South Glastonbury. My boyfriend and I ventured here after a Sunday morning hike. There are fresh baked goods, a variety of flavored syrups, and even steel cut oatmeal. The staff is very helpful and friendly and there is just enough seating both inside and outside. I'm the coffee drinker that needs 5 minutes to say my entire order. I like to mix things up and get interesting combinations of flavors. I ordered a cinnamon, coconut iced latte with almond milk. It was absolutely perfect. The latte tasted so fresh and the flavoring was not overwhelming. This is a perfect spot for a date night, to relax on a Sunday morning, or to get some work done. If you need quiet to get work done, I would suggest grabbing your coffee and heading elsewhere as it can get a little noisy due to the small space. So G Coffee Roasters is one of my favorite stops for coffee and I would definitely recommend you stop in! read more

For years, I've been a big fan of the "competition" (Daybreak Coffee Roasters) across town, but So G is definitely winning me over. You can smell the delicious aroma the second you pull into the parking lot, and when you walk in the door, you're mouth starts to water. The coffee is fresh and real. It's not the pre-packaged, mass-produced garbage you get at Dunkin. The workers are accommodating and personable. The atmosphere is quiet and serene. It just doesn't get any better. I'll keep coming back as long as they're around. Get after it, folks. p.s. - It can be kinda hard to find, as it's tucked away in a tiny old school plaza. Use Gardiner's Market as a landmark and you won't miss it. read more
