Thus, knowing it was Sunday evening our options for opened places was limited. A quick Yelp search and I found that this coffee shop was not only opened, but opened until midnight. Perfect.

A great little gem near the studio.

The staff was so nice and friendly, and we even laughed for a bit which was refreshing. I'm a sucker for seasonal or specialty drinks so the chocolate covered cherry latte immediately caught my eye. I got a large iced with regular milk. I can appreciate all of their different milk variations! The pistachio milk was suggested for me to try, but as a big hater of dates, I had to skip it. The latte was rich and a good quality coffee, so the drink went down very smooth. The maraschino cherries on top were a nice touch too. I love the punk rock feel, and will definitely be visiting more frequently.

I am a huge fan of New England Coffee. I have actually gotten to know the owner Jason a bit, and…read morehe's a great human. He's incredibly passionate about what he does, and it comes across in every aspect of New England Coffee. From the atmosphere and comfortable space, to the extremely friendly customer service from either himself, Gavin or any of the others (whose names I have yet to memorize), to the delicious drinks. They recently relocated their primary cafe to Factory Square in Southington, and I have been twice since the reopening. They are back as good, if not better, than ever. For me, the way to go is any of their house made syrups. They change seasonally and utilize fresh and mostly local ingredients. For example, their vanilla plum syrup is here as long as it is plum season and they can source local plums that meet their standards. That is what I had in my most recent latte, with their brown sugar cold foam on top. The flavor was mild, but definitely present and very tasty. The cold foams are always a highlight. Terrific consistency. A bit frothy while still have plenty of body, and the flavors always come through. I also really loved their take on a pumpkin spice latte. Super deep and developed pumpkin flavor. Just enough warm spices that aren't the slightest bit bitter. The same brown sugar cold foam. That was exceptional. Any berry syrups are always delicious. Both the peanut butter and toasted marshmallow cold foams over the summer were super yummy and standouts as well. I order a cold brew almost as often as a latte. I've only ever ordered an iced drink. I do normally order larger drinks, so my only wish is that they offered larger sizes than 16 oz, but that's just me personally, and not even a critique. Stellar business, and one you just want to root for. Easy to love. Amazing team. A must try.

"Nothing you could say could tear me away from my guy…read moreNothing you could do, 'cause I'm stuck like glue to my guy" (Mary Wells) We took a morning coffee break, and had a wonderful time chatting, relaxing, sipping our drinks, and enjoying the friendly, mellow, and very chill atmosphere at the Café by New England Coffee Guy. They have plenty of seating, some upholstered furniture and we saw a few Friday morning telecommuters working on their laptops and sipping their coffees. Our order was a Chai Latte and a Cold Brew - each was $5. The pours were very large, and I swear that my cold brew was the very best I've ever had. I love coffee, drinking it hot or cold, and what I had here is in my all-time Top Five Percent. It was that good. I had a sip of my wife's Chai Latte and thought it was excellent as well. What really impressed me were the flavors of both drinks- not overpowering, but strong enough to appreciate them. The Coffee Guy has it all - specialty coffees, matcha, chai, espresso drinks, and pastries and sweet treats to pair with your coffee cup. We couldn't resist grabbing a few on our way out, and we took home a box with a Spinach croissant, iced blueberry scone, and a cruffin (croissant/muffin hybrid). We loved our visit to the Coffee Guy, and I was so impressed by the total experience, I just subscribed to their newsletter. So the next time we're looking for a midday break or afternoon pick-me-up..... I know a guy!

And very importantly they are dog friendly! And it was so fun to see some of the dogs in the shop So I was already excited to be here , along with many other people , so I had very high expectations and all the vibes were good ! They offer lots of fresh coffee options , and they had some seasonal specialty drinks And in the season of October and pumpkin spice I decided to try the pumpkin spice latte iced ! They staff was great esp for being super busy they did a fabulous job ... Now the only bad thing was my drink .. unfortunately I did not like it ( and I have tried my fair share of pumpkin spice lattes and this was by the far the worst I've had ) The spice/ flavouring to coffee ratio was very off ! it tasted like I just had a spoonful of pumpkin spice seasoning mixed with some water and a splash of coffee . So I feel sad that the drink I got was terrible so maybe in the future I will try the regular coffee options instead of the speciality drinks which for me is unfortunate since I am a speciality drink lover and I love to try different flavours

If you look at the coffee bags they sell, you'll see some South American coffee, Central American Coffee, Italiano and Indian origins. I ordered a black cold brew. I didn't ask which beans they used, but it tasted like a rich dark roast. I prefer a lighter roast, but for a darker flavor profile, it was well executed. The cafe is a place where people meet friends or sit and work. That's always a good sign. I didn't have any of the food, but I saw their pastry case and people eating breakfast sandwiches. The food looked reasonably good. 4.25 Stars

I was told it was a large coffee split into two. Never again will I purchase one of these duo cups. The coffee itself is very good, but the pricing should be altered a little bit. We also got mini macarrones, which I thought would be better than a tasted! They were stale!! They taste it absolutely horrible and there was no flavor. No differentiation between the chocolate, coffee, or the lemon. It all tasted by straight sugar and cardboard. Yuck Unfortunately, I probably won't be back due to the pricing and the experience I had with the food

Their Frappachino is made with ice cream so you don't even taste the coffee. After the first sip you are left with the taste a rich and creamy drink that will leave your taste buds crying for more.

I'm mostly updating this review to rave about their pumpkin pie latte. Pumpkin season is officially in full swing and the lattes around Connecticut are no joke. Café Amore has easily landed #1 in my book. The latte is sweet, but not to the point where you can't taste the pumpkin and other spices. The pumpkin cold foam is amazing, I want to put it on everything. It also comes topped with an adorable meringue pumpkin and cute and inspiring quote written on the side. Fun fact that a lot of people don't know, this was a cell phone store before the owners of Café Amore completely revamped it. Definitely worth the visit!

"I don't remember what day it was I didn't notice what time…read moreit was" (Spiral Starecase) No, I don't remember what day it was or where it was, but I know it was at a Yelp Elite function. One of my friends asked me (quite earnestly) if I had ever been to the Community Room Cafe for breakfast because "it's really great". Well, we went there today and I sincerely want to thank that unknown Yelper because the Community Room Café is excellent. We found it in the Constitution Square retail area bounded by Cedar St., E. Main St., Market Sq and Lowrey Place in the center of Newington, CT. Parking is plentiful in the Square's large parking lot. Their space is amazing -big, cheerful, inviting, comfortable, colorful (plenty of orange and black). There are plenty of various seating options in the form of couches, upholstered chairs, table/chair groupings, and counter-style seats by the windows. We saw a few medium sized groups gabbing away at the upholstered seat area and a few industrious folks clattering away on their laptops. We each went with an Avocado Toast (@ $9) with mashed avocado, diced egg, diced tomato, bacon crumbles, cilantro, and Everything bagel seasoning blanketing a big slice of toasted rye. Seriously, one of the best breakfasts we had this year. I went with a small cold brew coffee and a shot of sugar-free caramel ($4.25) while my wife went with a small light roast coffee ($3). We loved everything about the Community Room Café- the food, the vibe, the décor, the service.... Everything. PRO TIPS Their WIFI password is (one word all CAPS) ILOVEMY COFFEE They have a meeting room available to rent for $50/hour during business hours and $100/hour during non-business hours.
