Service is attentive, but the line is a total PITA in my opinion, but I don't know if that's just the design. If it's busy it's hard to tell where to get in line unless you've been there before. Seating and tables are fine, community based or individual tables available. I like it, but don't do breakfast / brunch often and don't drink coffee. A bit open for my personal liking but that's kind of the vibe here, so no real knock there. I just don't usually start before noon . If you're in the area or traveling, definitely stop by.

I would definitely come here for another cup not only because their coffee is good but they value their customers.

They also have a decadent Cinnamon Roll that was perfectly gooey and that icing is out of this world! I also got their Quesadilla, swapped the crispy chicken for grilled chicken and was charged $2 for it. That was the only part I thought was strange since I would think grilled chicken would cost less in general than crispy chicken, but it tasted amazing, so the five star is warranted.

Most times when I am traveling, I don't like to get items I would normally get at home anyway…read more That being said, Connecticut IS still my home state and so I can be a little more flexible here, and so I chose Starbucks. Plus, I want to save my money for when I switch planes in Charlotte and have lunch. Anyway, being the Starbucks guy that I am, I chose this over other franchise places like Dunkin or McDonald's. I did a Mocha Cookie Frap given these are the summer months, and did a double shot espresso as I spent the whole night packing for my flight. I also like to get 6 shots of peppermint in my mochas as what wooed me to Starbucks all these years has always been the Peppermint Mocha that comes during the holidays. For me, nothing beats that magic. I did also experiment by adding in a Salted Caramel Cold Brew in my drink because I didn't quite remember what my usual order was. It's been a while since I gone back to Starbucks. But no matter where I go it's always a welcome addition to my day. The lady who helped me was helpful and energetic. Actually, when she'd spilled where she was from while I was ordering, I was actually pleasantly surprised. She wasn't too far from where I live actually. Maybe like 2 or 3 towns over. Nevertheless, I have learned to grow an appreciation for people who keep that kind of demeanor in such a demanding environment. I can only imagine how hard it must be to work as a barista in a setting where people are traveling everywhere. How many people you have to deal with. Kudos to that lady! I give it a 4 because honestly, what I can make of the place is very limited so it can be hard to get in the know of things. There are Starbucks that if I were to give another visit would receive a 5, and the Starbucks Reserve at the Empire State Building actually did get a 5 from me, so it is possible. It just hasn't had a chance to happen yet.

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.

We showed up at 11:30am and per the worker it was a little thin but still many acceptable options. LEMON BLUEBERRY MUFFIN: -- nice irregular shaped appearance -- visually appealing -- not too sweet -- pronounced balance of both flavors which is rare with these two flavors when combined -- oftentimes the lemon dominates the blueberry -- tastes even better than it looks -- quite moist without being oily or greasy RATING = A JASMINE HONEY LATTE (HOT): -- smooth and just enough flavor and scent of both -- tastes natural and authentic -- smooth java RATING = A+ Quaint and country vibe inside.

Mon to Sat they open at 5am. I was only 10 minutes away from 6 but I figured they look like a place I'd want to eat at anyway and fate brought me to this awesome establishment. Upon entering it's not too bright and not too dark especially for this hour. The place looks immaculately clean. It's your typical diner feel just a little more modernish with the color scheme inside. Two breakfast bars and the rest booths and tables. Round stools at the bar for seating. The waitress greeted me and I just sat at the breakfast bar. I got a a coffee to start, nice med - dark roast. Not burnt and tasted freshly made, good quality Java to wake you up. Better than Dunkin could offer lol. For my breakfast I decided on the Crazy Good Hash and a side of sausage (they offer links or patties, I love my patties so that's what I chose). First bite was just amazing. I wasn't sure what to expect .. I low key was just thinking it would be the stuff from a can like other diners use but no.. you will not get that here. It was legit fresh corned beef... griddled with hashed potatoes .. it was light and flavorful, crispy crust and soft interior. Not drowning in sodium like the can stuff. The corned beef really just melted in your mouth, so juicy and tender just like a properly cooked corned beef should taste. It was just amazing and I was completely blown away. Paired together with high quality eggs and perfectly toasted with butter toast, there was not one bite left. I couldn't stop eating it. I was almost sad with my last bite .. but I was about to explode anyway since it was a very generous portion. I'm just a glutton when it comes to good savory foods. The sausage patties were great too .. nice crispy and juicy, good flavor profile, not herby like some .. I don't like those but these were great. Please come give this place a try and go for the Crazy Good Hash and Eggs. You won't regret it.

We fell in love with the Suffield Café Barista (there's also one in East Windsor) during yesterday's visit. It was difficult to limit the number of things we walked out with to a reasonable amount, but we did get a big soft pretzel, a croissant, a gingerbread muffin, and two Danish horns - chocolate-pistachio and an almond.
