    Coffee cup
    Barbara M. V.

    I stopped in after my hair appointment close by. I visibly relaxed once I took a comfy seat. My cuppa coffee was brought to me quickly. I enjoyed the decor, music and calm feeling. The prices are great also. I will be back soon.

    This is a wonderful coffee shop in downtown Hartford! Very nice shop owners, with good coffee in a lovely space! Cafe Amore was a respite that I didn't expect, but I was very happy to have found!

    What a beautiful new gem!! I read about this café in a Hartford Business Journal article and patiently waited for them to open. Congrats to Michelle and Diana for such an achievement! The space is absolutely gorgeous and they have so many outlets, which isn't something I've had much luck with around Hartford tbh. Their menu has lots of options, including a few breakfast items like bagels and baked goods. I opted to try a Sweet Life latte instead of my usual Matcha. The suite life came with a syrup choice so I got pistachio. It was delicious and kept me super warm. I'm looking forward to trying the Matcha soon. They are located on Main Street right across from the Butler McCook house, which is next to the courthouse. Parking is mostly on the street but service is quick and easy.

    Cafe Amore recently opened on Main Street across the court house and it's absolutely relaxing inside! They have music playing to create that intimate vibe. There's a few outlets around near the tables if you want to come in and do some work. The WiFi password is on the counter with the paper goods. They have an assortment of coffees, smoothies and teas as well. I ordered a cortado with hazelnut syrup and she brought it over for me at the table. I love this quality service. I am looking forward to this establishments growth!

    Pleasant, quaint spot with classics playing over the sound system. A nice place to join friends to catch up, get some work done, or just sit and reflect over a hot or cold beverage.

    Stepping into this little café felt like walking into a warm hug. The decor is absolutely beautiful--soft lighting, cozy seating nooks, and charming vintage touches that make you want to stay for hours. There's an effortless elegance to the space, with fresh flowers on the tables and quiet jazzy music floating in the background that creates the perfect, relaxed vibe for reading, catching up with a friend, or simply savoring a quiet moment. The pastry selection is to die for--flaky, buttery, and clearly made with love. I had a chocolate croissant that melted in my mouth, paired with one of the best matcha lattes I've ever had: smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced. You can tell they care about quality in every detail. This place is a hidden gem, and I can't wait to return for another slow morning or peaceful afternoon escape. The service was excellent.

    Diana and Michelle are two young immigrants from Ecuador who have just opened their own coffee shop called Cafe Amore. I didn't know today would be their grand opening. I was so warmly welcomed upon waking inside the super busy cafe. They handed me a fresh white carnation with a bow around it. What's more fitting than fresh flowers from a place with Amore in the name? Their exposed brick arch, adds a very charming effect to this adorable coffee shop. The one side is more lively, perfect for social coffee drinkers, and behind the arch one might find it a good spot to bring their computer, while independently enjoying their coffee of choice. I got a Pistachio latte. Upon ordering I told either Michelle or Diana I'd like it "for here". They must have not had a chance to run the dishwasher, since my drink arrived in a to go cup. Also, not a single other person had the ceramic cups. Their coffee is super strong and caffeinated! It was also very tasty, and foamy. Truly, very good coffee! Where I was sitting behind the arch, they had little vases of roses and blue and white carnations. Sadly not a drop of water was in the vases. The roses were completely dry. They must have been so busy, they forgot to give them water. Maybe it's crossing the line, but I threw out the dry flowers and went to the restroom and filled the vases with water. They looked so much better, and that took no time at all. Later a gentleman came to ask how everything was, I told him the coffee was excellent, I also told him about the waterless flowers. He thanked me and said he would pass the word to the owners. Cafe Amore is brand new, with some very minor hiccups. Their space is so beautiful, but most importantly their coffee is delicious!

    Absolutely delicious and beautiful inside! Amazing service !!!! 100000/10 not from the area but I would definitely make the trip back

    Smoothie (banana/mango and they also have strawberry), drip coffee with oatmilk, decaf latte and bagels.

    "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!

Not too sweet but not bitter either. We talked to the owner for a little bit and he was very nice and personable. We will be back in the summer with our dog to sit out on the patio.

Afterwards I stay downstairs and experienced the coffee shop. I ordered a gluten-free breakfast sandwich, which was really good. The bread was a bit firm, but I actually appreciated that since most gluten-free bread tends to fall apart. This one held up nicely. My honey latte was absolutely delicious, smooth, perfectly sweet, and beautifully made. There's also a cute outdoor seating area, great for relaxing with coffee on a nice day. Parking is on the street around the corner, since the street the shop is on is closed to cars and open to pedestrians only, which adds to the charm of the area. You order at the counter, get a number, and they bring your food right to your table. When you're finished, you clear your own dishes to the bin, which keeps the place tidy. I also noticed the staff going around regularly wiping tables and keeping everything clean and welcoming. Overall, Bloom Bake Shop has a great vibe, tasty food, and friendly service. Definitely worth checking out!

Is it a flower shop? Is it a coffee shop? Is it a bakery? Of course, it's all three. We popped in a little before their 1:00 Sunday closing today, and the only bakery items remaining were four lemon blueberry scones. We scooped up two of them at $3.75 each. Now a scone isn't always a scone. Some have the density and weight of a doorstop or a hockey puck. Not these, they were as good as any scone we've ever sampled. They were soft, fresh, and bursting with lemon and blueberry fruit and taste. They were exceptionally great. The interior was very pretty with flower displays, booths, tables, and plenty of goodies for sale like bags of granola, pastries, and sandwiches. The exterior dining patio was packed with customers finishing off their lunches or late breakfasts while sipping their coffees, espressos, cappuccinos, and lattes. Thank you, Bloom Bake Shop, for a very enjoyable visit.

They have plenty of sweet and savory treats to go along with your coffee cup - cannoli's, macarons, baklava, cake pops, savories, tortas, croissants, bombolinis, muffins, breakfast sandwiches, scones, etc. I stopped in to do some prep for a morning Board of Directors meeting and ordered a large drip coffee and a cheese and spinach pastry with a criss-cross latticework top. Breakfast was around $10. The coffee was excellent, and far too much for me to drink at one sitting. It was served in a huge ceramic mug, so I asked them to pour it into a "to go" cup when I left. The pastry was delicious, a great balance of spinach, cheese, flaky pastry, and crunchy top. I loved it. I grabbed a small table in the back and went through my notes while sipping my coffee and people watching. I got a kick out of the young lady to my left who was simultaneously working on her laptop and two phones while having her breakfast. She sure beat me in the multi-tasking department. Service was excellent, the friendly gent and lady who helped me were wonderful and super friendly. I sure enjoyed this private non-chain coffee stop.

They'd recently opened at the time. After 9 months we went again recently on December 27, 2025. We also brought our friends here after that. Yemerica's menu has expanded big time. They offer so many hot / iced lattes, refreshers, matcha drinks, mojitos, hot Yemeni beverages, fruit mojitos, Frappuccinos, etc. And they've also expanded their food menu. Now they have a wide variety of pastries and desserts to choose from, and bunch of non-sweet food items as well. The cafe is almost full at night / peak hours, especially on weekends. They have an area that can be reserved for meetings, study sessions, etc. They have ample of seating available for all group sizes. The staff is very friendly and patient. They have outdoor patio seating during warm weather and the interior has beautiful hand painted murals. Beverages: I've recently tried and liked their Abu Walad iced latte, Salted caramel iced latte, and Tiramisu iced latte. Adani chai was interesting & worth a try. My partner has tried their kiwi refresher and strawberry mojito. He really liked them both. Our friends tried the hazelnut hot latte, Kunda latte, and honey saffron latte. They were all real good. Food: Bee bites is such an interesting dish, so worth it. Their Treleche caramel was so soft. It melted as soon as the bite hit the tongue. Sabaya was a non-sweet item with just the right amount of honey sweetness. Marook with dates was an interesting balance of textures and taste. Z'atar Manakeesh is filled with flavours of herbs. Cheese pie was fluffy and soft. Their chocolate and tiramisu cakes looked delicious and I can't wait to revisit and try those among so many other things they have to offer.
