    Great atmosphere, friendly staff and amazing coffee. A little late in the day so not too many options. Place was clean with a comfy indoor area to sit and watch tv, watch the street or relax in the warm sun

    Eggs and bacon no bagel

    Really cute cafe with really good service! Didn't want a bagel so they made it for me without and I was very happy. So many pastries and baked goods. I would definitely be back!

    If you have unpaid parking tickets, you might want to avoid the New Britain Cafe Busy Bean. Although it has completely separate space, it's part of the New Britain Police Department Building. I don't have unpaid tickets, but I was especially careful to wait for the "Walk" signal. I enjoyed my recent visit to the Berlin Cafe Busy Bean and my experience with the NB location was also very good. My black iced coffee seemed like a smooth and balanced dark roast. It was very good. My everything bagel with scallion cream cheese was great. I've never had a more "everything" everything bagel, although it did tie with the Berlin Cafe Busy Bean. I'm sure the NB Cafe Busy Bean can live with that. I note that the Berlin Cafe Busy Bean felt homier and had a nicer pastry/dessert display case in terms of choices and presentation than the NB location. The NB seating area was functional, but not cute like Berlin. I didn't look at the menu for the NB location and therefore I'm not sure if they have the same options as Berlin. Service was friendly and efficient. 4 Stars for the NB Cafe Busy Bean.

    The food here was delicious, it's plated so pretty and with care. The service is quick and the ambiance of the place is amazing, they play great singable music, have outlets if your working on a laptop and a variety of seats from comfy chairs to regular chairs.

    First time at Cafe Busy Bean. It's a beautiful cafe, coffee is on point the vibe just right, and the staff is friendly and kind. If you need a workstation with outlets like me to plug in you'll find a few in the back of the shop. The only thing I'd change is the pay to park situation but that's a city issue. Will definitely be back here on the regular. Till next time.

    Apple crepe...yum!

    Great coffee shop in downtown New Britain! First time here but drove by a few times and decided to check it out. Ordered a latte which was excellent and also had an apple crepe. Excellent crepe! The apple filling was not too sweet which is a rarity! Usually the fillings are too sweet but with a dash of powdered sugar on top...yum!! I'll definitely be back! Bruno, behind the counter, was super friendly! Great addiction to New Britain!

    Coffee is always burnt, and the vibes of the place are a bit off. The food is good though.

    Kasia Bakery - New Britain, CT…read more Kasia Bakery is an absolute gem for anyone craving authentic Polish baked goods and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Every time I visit, I'm reminded of the care and tradition that goes into each item they make. One of the standout treats is the cheese and cherry stuffed babka--a perfect balance of tangy cherries, creamy cheese, and rich, buttery dough. It's a slice of heaven that pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee. Another must-try is their apple szarlotja (polish apple cake/pie), which is moist, fragrant, and loaded with fresh apple flavor. If you're in the mood for something indulgent, the creme-filled karpatka is a showstopper. Its delicate choux pastry and velvety filling are a true testament to Polish pastry perfection. Whether you're stocking up for a holiday or just treating yourself, Kasia Bakery never disappoints. The staff is always friendly and happy to help you find your new favorite dessert. Don't miss out--this bakery is a true treasure in New Britain! TIP: it's a very small bakery where you pick up and take out as there is no seating in the place itself.

    I have bought from this bakery for years with no disappointments but the last few years it has…read morechanged! It was always a "polish" bakery. Now the employees do not understand polish or English. I have such trouble just placing a simple order. Also the quality of the bake goods has declined. The fillings.. apple, custard, poppyseed etc are barely even visible in the pastries. The prices have doubled but the quality has declined 3x . Today I visited this location and was disgusted to see older women touching and squeezing unwrapped breads with their bare hands. Gross! The owner needs to go back to the old ways and not cut so many corners to make more money.
