    Indoor seating.
    Ang F.

    Not too impressed. Coffee, tea bags, ice cream, smoothies, crepes and waffles and other baked goods. Quantity is high, quality not so much. About 4-5 small tables for seating, along with a few bar chairs.

    Cafe Sofia has always been a go-to for me. While their crepes are out of this world, what brings me back is definitely their ice cream. They have a lot of flavors, and don't judge you for your guilty pleasures and will stack anything you want on top. The service is always kind and I love the space. They have tables that are large enough for your computer and food...the little things.

    Blueberry ice cream

    3.5/5 Cute and calming space that takes you out of the hustle and bustle of Weha. Take your pick of a snack from macarons, ice cream, baklava, sweet/savory crepes (made right in front of you!), and endless syrup options for drinks. Blueberry ice cream (kid scoop) {3.5/5}: The ice cream was too sweet for me, but there were real blueberry pieces throughout the ice cream was very enjoyable

    A pretty decent cafe, with some fancy eats and french macaroons. Not bad, but not great. Came here on a whim, looking for coffee and looking to try some new places. The place is small but cozy, not a lot of seating and the front counter didn't allow for a lot of room to maneuver. Opted for a mexican latte and a few french macaroons along with a chocolate chip cookie. The Mexican latte had a little bit of a zip to it, they used a cinnamon flavored syrup to give it a bit of heat. Beyond the zip, not much to remember about it. The french macaroons, weirdly enough the texture was a bit dense and mealy. Kind of like the almondflour wasn't sifted. However the flavor of the fillings was very strong, which I appreciate. If you got a pistachio macaroon, it's going to hit you over the head with a pistachio flavor. The chocolate chip cookie was a well executed chocolate chip cookie. Soft, good chocolate, decent size. There wasn't anything that differed this chocolate chip cookie versus any other chocolate cookie though. I liked the flavors offered, but everything was a little off. It's good, but there's a lot of good options in the area for both coffee and baked goods. Worth a try

    Came here for a breakfast/coffee date with hubby just to try a new cafe since we moved to CT. The coffee is very tasty and the crepes are delicious! It's a cute little interior with some seating available. They have several menu options. The location is nice as it's in a central part of town with lots to walk around and look at.

    Went to this cafe to pick up some macarons for my mother. This cafe is super cute and I definitely need to come back to try come more pastries and ice cream. I ordered a savory crepe and it was alright, although a little pricey and it took way longer to be completed than expected. I suppose that can be a good thing since the crepes are fresh and if I weren't busy running errands I wouldn't have been in a rush and probably would have had a better sit-down experience. My bf ordered a funky monkey smoothie and it was very filling. There are a few outdoor tables available on the patio and it is a nice spot for coffee in Blue Back Square. My mom enjoyed the macarons and I definitely would like to return to see more of what Cafe Sofia has to offer.

    Toasted marshmallow iced coffee

    I've gone to Cafe Sofia many times through the years. I've mostly had their coffee, but I've also had their delicious Belgian waffles, piled with plenty of fresh fruit and whipped cream. They have a nice selection of European desserts, pastries and macaroons. They also have ice cream. Today I stopped in for their coffee, I also got a macaroon. They have a large selection of coffee flavors to chose from. Then there was a menu of their top selling flavors. I got the Toasted Marshmallow iced coffee. I couldn't decide on a macaroon, the young man suggested I get the passionfruit macaroon. The coffee was excellent as excepted. I like the Toasted Marshmallow, I can't say it tasted like marshmallow, but it was solid, with plenty of strong coffee flavor. Also their small, is a very generous size. The Passionfruit macaroon, was very fresh, but this flavor was too sweet for me. It's still a very good pick, in its golden yellow color, and the sweet creme in the center. I probably would go for a different flavor next time. Cafe Sofia is very small, they have a few spots for outdoor seating, and a few for indoor seating. They deliver excellent coffee and desserts.

    Chai Latte
    Maureen G.

    Stopped in on Valentines Day for a warm cup of chai. The chai was delicious. The cafe was cozy. Only issue was the lady waiting on us was not friendly. She never welcomed us, sat playing on her phone while I was standing there ready to order, never smiled and never said "thank you" "enjoy" or "have a nice day". For me that made it a one and done. I gave it a 3 star rating because it was very clean and the chai was really good.

    Local cafe in the downtown. I loved the vibe. Quaint and cozy. People are relax, friendly and warm. Good location. We walked in for snacks. Got ourselves comfortable on a high bar table with free WiFi and outlet. Food is great. Loved my crepe.

    Cool place to grab a coffee or espresso. Had a biscotti but it didn't have much flavor, could be spoiled because I make my own though.

"Oooh, it looks cool in here...smells yummy, too!" "These flavors! Okay, maybe I'll get something...but what?!" "Bourbon breakfast, please!" I had to end the quotes here because I'm sure some unholy sounds came out as I ate some of the best ice cream I've ever had. I say some of the best because I tried all of my family members' flavors and they were all winners. Also, we live in Connecticut, where there is a lot of great ice cream. Anyway, go to Milkcraft. Long lines? Probably. Expensive? Kind of, but you very much get what you pay for...a transcendent ice cream experience with flavors you won't find elsewhere.

There were a handful of seats. We went on a weekend so there was a short line. There was a couple in front of us taking forever to sample all the ice cream, which I won't fault the workers for the long wait. I decided to get a bubble cone Vietnamnese ice cream. It was good but the bubble cone was too much for me. It would have been better in a cup or small cone. I like the artwork on the walls and it's in a good location. Overall, a decent spot to get ice cream.

I got a scoop of Two Berry Pie ("Vanilla-flavored ice cream, strawberry, blueberry & sugared pie crust") in a cup and the little got Lemon Sorbetto! Both were rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor. Kilwin's offers a sample so you can actually taste before you decide, which is a major win. It was a tough decision, but I will be back for the Cake Batter. The cones are made fresh in-house and smell divine. Beyond ice cream, there's a whole lineup of treats dipped in chocolate: pretzels, Oreos, marshmallows, you name it. Sweet tooth? Handled. Diet? Not. Service: Everyone was super friendly and patient, even with a line. You can tell they actually enjoy working there, which makes the whole experience feel even sweeter. Atmosphere: It's more of a grab-and-go setup, like just a candy store that sells ice cream not an ice cream shop, so there's no indoor seating but right outside there are plenty of benches in downtown West Hartford. The area is busy, walkable, and perfect for a side of people-watching. The quality is top-tier, the flavors are spot-on, and everything feels like a treat because it is. Worth every penny. 10/10 recommend for locals and visitors too.

They are a "vintage-chic soda bar" with definite nostalgic vibes from the 1950's, or even earlier. Want an old-fashioned ice cream soda, milkshake, soda floats, ice cream sundae, banana split, or maybe a boozy ice cream or coffee drink? Well, belly up to their long soda counter, hop on a bar stool, and let your inner Fonzie go wild. You'll love their pastel pink, black and white color scheme, and you'll sure love their charm and hospitality. You won't see a zillion ice cream flavors on the menu, just the most basic varieties beyond vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. We ordered two Malt Frappes ($11 each), one Classic Vanilla and one Pistachio. They both came with whipped cream and a cherry, and my Pistachio was garnished with pistachio pieces in the frappe and atop the whipped cream. They were excellent, cold, thick, refreshing, frozen comfort food at its best and oh so nostalgic. Reminded me of the shakes we used to get t Howard Johnson's a lifetime ago. And the portions were pretty big, our server Gwen poured whatever wouldn't fit into our glasses into a plastic cup for us. Definitely worth a stop on your next visit to downtown Hartford.

Sno 'N Dough sells a slew of carnival or country fair foods, like sweet or savory fried dough, fried Oreos, Fried Cookie Dough, 22 flavors of Snoballs, cotton candy, churros, and popcorn. We chatted with Dylan, their super friendly counterperson who whipped us up an 8-oz banana Snoball ($2.99) and a Marinara Parmesan Fried Dough ($7.99). The banana Snoball was great -light and airy and fluffy as a cloud without the course hunks of ice you sometimes find in a traditional Snow Cone. The Marinara Fried Dough was terrific -we shared some for dinner (it re-heated beautifully) and the dough came out soft and just about perfect. The sauce and cheese were also excellent, and I have to say we really loved it. Dylan told me a funny story about a customer he served a week aqo, A woman was walking by his stand, and she stopped dead in her tracks, cried out "OMG you have Snoballs", and almost started weeping. Turns out she was a Louisiana native and hadn't seen them sold anywhere besides her home state. Needless to say she was thrilled. We were pretty happy with our visit too!
