Outside decorated for Fall
Samantha V.

Brunos was festive for the fall right when I walked up to the front of the place. I ordered one of their speciality lattes the brown butter cookies and asked for it iced. A mistake was made and I got the smaller size instead of the large. For breakfast I had sausage, egg, and cheese on a really nice sourdough bread. It was cute my sandwich was cut in the shape of heart. I don't know how they prepared my sandwich but it was not greasy.

Bruno's Cafe is located in Unionville in a small plaza. Parking was ample. The interior was cozy and the customer service was friendly. I'm a coffee lover and love visiting cafes. They had plenty of drinks to choose from. I decided to get a matcha latte and it was delicious. My husband enjoyed their cold brew. They had some baked goods and snacks as well. I look forward to going back for more coffee soon!

Grilled cheese and tomato soup, delicious.

Nice coffee spot in Unionville. Secret weapon of this place is really the food and the pastries. Im not a big specialty coffee guy but I get the tomato soup w grilled cheese combo, which is just a winner. Girls at the register are super nice and the place could get crowded so if you are going to eat, keep in mind it gets busy.

This is such an amazing coffee spot. We went in the middle of a weekday and it was so busy! They have lots of food and pastry options. The drink customizations are endless and they are very helpful if you're trying to decide what to get. This might seem small but my friend and I LOVED the music that they played inside. It was such a vibe. All of the staff were so nice and personable. Even when it was super busy, we never felt rushed or like anyone was being rude. You can tell that the staff love to work here!

Oooooh my...check out this smear of cream cheese...I thought Einsteins ruled the world until this one! Cute little place, friendly staff, great coffee and yummy food. It's limited on inside space, but cute enough that you won't mind.

Such a cute cafe! Bruno's has been on my list for a while now because their seasonal/limited drinks always look so appealing and their ingredients and baked goods are high quality, with the pastries being made daily locally and the milk being from Arethusa. I'm glad I finally got to try them. I got the gingerbread chai, which I loved. It wasn't too sweet, and the cold foam added a nice touch. I also enjoyed my sandwich - the Hot Mama - which I was told is one of the most popular sandwiches here. It was much larger than I was expecting, and the combination of all the toppings was delicious. My only gripe is that the hot honey was really liquidy. Overall, I would come back. I'm looking forward to trying a pastry next time!

Such a lovely cafe! We were so impressed by their service and the care they put into everything they offer. They use beans from Counter Culture, their pastries are sourced from New Haven, and their sourdough bread is made with ingredients imported from France. They even make their own milk and oat milk, with dairy coming from Arethusa Farm. It's amazing to see small businesses like this thrive. We'll definitely be back to support them again!

OBSESSED. This spot is super cute and definitely gives off those perfect New England vibes. I wish I caught her name, but the cashier was super friendly and helpful! I was torn between so many options on their menu because everything sounded really good. I ended up ordering the big bird sandwich with a side of tomato basil soup. DELICIOUS. Im not the biggest fan of blue cheese so I will say it was a bit heavy, but this sandwich was on point. The soup was so flavorful and a huge size for only being a side. Their pastries are from G cafe in New Haven so I love to see the #collab! I got the pistachio croissant which was a bit dry but perfect the next morning after I threw it in my toaster oven. They also have the cutest swag I've see in a long time!

Bruno's Cafe is such a delightful coffee shop!Brunos had a calming and earthly ambience with a friendly staff to welcome you as you entered. They had adorable merch and a lovely selection of coffee and breakfast/ lunch items. The coffee and avocado toast was fantastic. Thank you Bruno's!

The restaurant felt very welcoming and they have a lot of food and drinks on their menu unlike other small cafes. I went with my friend and the sandwich I got was absolutely delicious. They have a long list of flavors to add to their coffees and lates, but I ended up getting a dragonfruit refresher that I was very pleased with.

I'm here for lunch having the big bird chicken sandwich and it's so amazing and so flavorful. The staff is super kind and the music inside is nice.

I stopped here for lunch with some new friends as we were ready to do some seasonal fall activities locally :) It was a cute cafe with a decent sized menu. Plenty of parking in the lot. Indoor & outdoor seating available. I got the grilled cheese with soup and kombucha and it was a great combo for a beautiful, warm, October day. We sat outside and soaked in the sun. It was lovely.

Fiesta (avocado toast, kinda pricy for what you get, I think a sandwich probably gets you more bang for your buck)

Bruno's is a nice place to get breakfast, I go there a lot with my sister. Their pastries are good and so are their breakfast sandwiches. It is on the more expensive en if you're getting like a full breakfast. For instance two coffees, two breakfast sandwiches and a pastry might cost round $50 total. But everything will taste good and the place is cute. It would cost less if you didn't go all out but I'm a foodie. Pastries are great they just disappear really quickly, so if you want more options be sure to get there early! Service is nice, you order at the register then wait for them to call your names for coffee and food. Food takes a bit to make so don't expect fast food like timing, it's more of a sit down/wait type deal than 5 minutes then walk away

I purchased a sliced loaf As I was looking through the showcase, I saw these blueberry scones that looked beautiful, and the love was showing through. They were talking to me. I said to the friendly server "I'll take three!" This place is a must try and a hidden gem for all to visit at least once! Here, take my money! I will be back!

Think people are hating this place because they are comparing the food to Stop & Shop. The taste is pretty different. Sour Dough from NY, Vermont that was "baked today" but feels half frozen is $7 at Whole Foods ... so complaining about $10 for a local one is kind of wild. Yesterday I had a baguette from the West Hartford location. Ate it on the way home. It was so good. Finally tried a sandwich. I had their Turkey Sandwich today. Shit was life changing. Haven't had an experience like that since having a steak at J Gilberts for the first time. It is like wow this is what real food taste like and what our parents & grand parents would eat before everything was mass produced. Everything was local and delicious. Price wise it was $2 more than a regular sized Jersey Mikes Turkey Bacon sandwich. The coffee and the other baked goods I thought were just ok but their bread, cookies and sandwiches are incredible.

I'm pretty familiar Avon but Bela Vida is located away from all the other attractions, right next to a small fitness club. Bela Vida is such a beautiful space, there's positive words right outside the door. The beautiful plants all over the space made me want to stay. The natural materials made this place comfortable and relaxing. The menu of teas and protein shakes is the size of the whole wall. I decided to go with the Dirt Cake Lean & Fit Shake. I got mine in a medium size, which was a pretty generous size, and I realized I could have gone with a small. This was pretty chocolatey, but I could tell there was protein powder as the base. Well I knew what I was getting, so I wasn't so let down by the after taste. I will say this was my breakfast and lunch today. It was very filling and decently tasty. What I enjoyed a lot more than the shake it's self, is the space and the environment. It is a great space to be alone or with friends. I enjoyed reading parts of the book The Astrology of You and Me, they had on the little table. And the background music was a great counterpart. I plan to return here in the future and try something else.

Was out and about with the girlfriend and was looking for a place to have a bit of a snack. Found a…read moresmoothie snack not too far away from a coffee shop we decided to try. Place is very open, a single waist high counter and blenders. Ladies are friendly and knowledgeable in all the different boosted teas they offer. Not a tea person, so I opted for a protein shake. The tea was strong, tart but the fruit flavors were not strong enough to step on the green tea flavor. The protein shake was grainy but had a good flavor. Creamy, cold, and thick. They do topping as well but I opted against adding it. Price is on par for a shake place. They also have oat balls and other misc snacks. It's a pretty decent shake, and a very good tea place. A good option for tea if you're in the area.

We gladly exiled ourselves to the empty patio, with gusts of wind, flying leaves, & steady stream of stop 'n go traffic along Route 4. It couldn't have been better!

Service: Given our solitary position, we found the service to be forgetful with regard to the hearty soles outside. Coffee request came twice and finally order taken.

I spent some time chatting with Julian, Happy Tail's friendly and engaging proprietor. She explained that the coffee shop will be there for most days into December, then will take a hiatus for the winter. I ordered a 12-ounce iced White Chocolate Pistachio Latte for $6.17, and it was so good I kind of wished I had upgraded to a 16-ouncer. It had a distinct pistachio flavor, and the chocolate component was noticeable but not overpoweringly sweet. It was fantastic. I can't recommend Happy Tail's enough. My latte was great, and I really enjoyed meeting and chit-chatting with Julian. I'm sure you'll enjoy both as well.
