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.

I had a very pleasant first visit to DoNo Cafe this morning. It was a fairly spacious cafe with a…read morevariety of seating options from tables to couches, and it's pleasantly decorated. I just ordered a large iced latte to go, their banana brûlée. I appreciated the homemade banana syrup. It was quite tasty, & reasonably priced for a 24 oz. The baristas were very welcoming and friendly. It was just a nice stop. Zero complaints. It's not a super convenient location downtown, with limited street parking (I got lucky today), but I would definitely go back.

Daybreak is one of the better coffee shops I've been to in Connecticut. I stopped in on a Thursday…read moremorning with my daughter. Despite being busy, it was quiet, there was no line, and the atmosphere was relaxed. The highlight was the scones. We had the chocolate chip and apple cinnamon, and both were outstanding. Easily the best scones I've had. There was plenty of seating, and while the parking lot is large, the space is a bit tight. My only complaints were minor. They charged for a small cup of warm milk for my daughter, which felt unnecessary, and the service was polite but not especially warm. And my blackberry vanilla latte didn't have much of a flavor. It tasted like a regular latte. Still delicious and hit the spot. I'd happily return. The scones alone are worth the visit.

Service was quick and friendly. I loved seeing their employee recommendations as it gives me new things to try. They had a display of baked goods but will have to snag those next time.

The café itself is super cute and had a cozy, welcoming vibe. Their bakery case was full of delicious looking treats that were hard to resist. 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 got the hot Spanish latte for myself and the iced Spanish latte for my husband. Absolutely delicious. Not too sweet, lots of body. Love that they have signature drinks that keep changing.

And they have a loyalty program. Can't wait to return!

Since it was a busy morning the online order feature is super handy to save time but if you have time, the atmosphere in the cafe is inviting and love how they serve drinks and food on real dinnerware (coffee tastes better in a ceramic mug than cardboard cup wouldn't you say?). Everything was delicious and can see myself stopping for a flavored latte again some time. Bonus! They sell cute gifts and other (local?) items from stationary to kitchen accessories and handmade jewelry. Wish I had more time to look through the items but my wallet thanks me haha.

Coffee crawl spot #5!…read more Froth coffee was on the Hartford coffee crawl, and of course the coffee connoisseur had to make an appearance! I've been here once before, but didn't get anything out of the ordinary This time I got the blueberry crumble Iced latte and a chocolate chunk cookie. The ice latte,l had blueberry drizzle, cheesecake cold foam and cheesecake crumble pieces on top. It was so good, however, it was like drinking dessert in a cup. Definitely a dessert latte! Service was quick, and the girls made my coffee promptly

Outside is decorated well, and with it close to the lake and the park its got lots of alternative seating options around. Inside is a little sparse on seating and decoration. It's very much a brand new location just getting itself set up. It's got a little of the macabre themes but it's light and open. So it's basic but has a little character. The got a house blend with a snickers latte. No coffee cups just to-go. Took my pics and began the trek home. The coffee was very hot when I got it. They brew their drip coffee in large brewing stands so it's a very hot brewing method. Lose a lot of the subtle flavor notes that way, but as it cooled down I was able to get the bright and mid notes. It's a strong roasted flavor mid with a little of the bright fruity notes on top. With better temp control, would probably get more of the fruit notes. Good coffee, just limited by the technique. The snickers latte was surprisingly pleasant. It had a decent amount of sugar but the roasted peanut flavor combined with the roasted coffee flavor notes really played well against each other. It really helped cut through the caramel sweetness and led to a nice sweet dessert like sip. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, the lead brewer was happy to talk about their beans and process. They were busy though, so couldn't get all the details. But they know their beans and their roast. Price is actually kinda low for the quality. Not upset about that, but I suspect that they may raise prices as time goes on to match other coffee shops. They do make their own bakery items but the selection is limited. The cookie I had was a solid oatmeal raisin but wasn't unique or different. Just a well executed oatmeal raisin. As a coffee shop, it's still figuring itself out. Once it gets its character and refines its brew then it stands to be a strong coffee shop for the area. For now, it's great but basic.

The newest coffee shop/bookstore hybrid has just opened in South Windsor, and it is bustling with…read morebook lovers and coffee lovers alike. The Wicked Press is an independent space, it was very busy when I arrived. The layout is designed where in the center you may order your coffee, on the left you can browse through their books, and on the right they have a used books section. First, I noticed how on theme their drinks are. For instance there's a drink called "First Chapter" and another called "Wicked Debut", among many others. I got the Wicked Debut, iced it tasted like Nutella in an iced coffee. Very tasty! The books are the newest trendy releases. If you're having a hard time deciding on what to read, and you're overwhelmed by the choices at traditional bookstores, it'll be much easier to make your pick here. Every part of this cafe is designed with books on mind. They have a very cute backdrop designed with books of course. Additionally you'll find totes, bookmarks and more. I absolutely loved this little gem and my Wicked Debut. I'll be back here soon.

I wasn't sure how cozy it would feel, and honestly, I was right. The layout just didn't do it for me. Most of the seating is along the windows, and it didn't really give me that cozy coffee-shop feeling where you want to nestle in with your cup and stay awhile. But I thought, okay, let's try the coffee! They have some fun latte combinations, so I went with one of their popular ones. Then I found out they don't make their own syrups and immediately thought, "Oh no... this is going to be sweet." And yep--it was definitely on the sweeter side. My latte was also, at best, warm rather than hot. My husband loved his coffee, but he only drinks coffee maybe once or twice a week, so he doesn't quite understand my level of coffee expectations. The staff was really nice and pleasant, which I appreciated. Overall, I'd say it's a good, average local coffee spot. Nothing bad, but nothing that made me think, "Yep, I need to come back here."
