There's such a wide variety of drinks here that it actually took me a while to decide what to order. The staff are very friendly, and the café itself is clean, welcoming, and comfortable. There are lots of seating options both indoors and outdoors, which is a nice plus. I tried the Island glow Refresher and really liked it -- very tasty, but quite sweet, and the syrup settled at the bottom so it needed a good stir. I also had the Honey Bun Latte, which was just okay for me; there was a bit too much cinnamon, and I could feel the grains on my tongue. They do have a Banana Brûlée Latte on the menu that I definitely want to come back and try. Overall, a great spot, and I'm looking forward to returning and exploring more of the menu. read more

I had a very pleasant first visit to DoNo Cafe this morning. It was a fairly spacious cafe with a variety of seating options from tables to couches, and it's pleasantly decorated. I just ordered a large iced latte to go, their banana brûlée. I appreciated the homemade banana syrup. It was quite tasty, & reasonably priced for a 24 oz. The baristas were very welcoming and friendly. It was just a nice stop. Zero complaints. It's not a super convenient location downtown, with limited street parking (I got lucky today), but I would definitely go back. read more

While visiting Hartford for the weekend it's always a goal of mine to try different locally owned coffee shops. DoNo Cafe was on the list and did not disappoint. We were greeted and given a few minutes to look over the menu. I landed on having an Iced Sandcastle Latte. It was giving Girl Scout cookie Samoa or Caramel Delight depending on what you know them by in coffee form and it was absolutely perfect for a summer iced coffee. We sat down in the cozy seating enjoying the vibes of great music, local friends enjoying time together on a Sunday morning and sipping our coffee. If I lived in Hartford I'd definitely come and hang out with friends or work out of DoNo and try all of their seasonal flavors. read more

I've eaten here several times, and always excellent service with friendly staff. I recommend the loaded avocado . Yum, I've had several drinks and always tasty and on the healthier side. Really nice sitting area for catching up with a few friends, or get some work done while you wait. Limited short parking in front. Will get picks next time if I'm not too hungry. read more

This was my first visit to DoNo Cafe. Assuming you can find parking, and I was lucky enough to get parking right out front, the atmosphere at DoNo is great. Both inside and outside. Outside, you have a great view of Dunkin Donuts Park, and the skate park with the cool graffiti art. Inside, there's lots of brick, wood floors and cool ceiling tiles. The Christmas Tree was gorgeous. Service was friendly. I was not a big fan of my Black Ied Coffee though. It was decent going down, but it had a slight aftertaste I didn't love. It was drinkable. Just not my favorite. I didn't fully explore their other offerings, but they did have a plastic case full of donuts, bagels and muffins. They looked fine, but didn't stand out appearance-wise. 3.5 Stars read more

I've been coming to Dono Cafe for a little while now since I live in the Pennant, and it's time I finally left the review this place deserves! I ordered the Loaded Avocado toast--sourdough with a creamy avocado spread, housemade seasoning, melted mozzarella, bacon bits, and a balsamic fig drizzle. It was the perfect mix of textures and flavors--rich, savory, and just a touch of sweetness that brought it all together. I also grabbed a small Teddy Toast, which is a blend of honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and espresso. I chose oat milk, and it was smooth, warm, and cozy--like the coffee version of comfort. The service is always on point. Everyone I've interacted with is friendly, efficient, and clearly takes pride in what they do. Whether I'm in a rush or have time to linger, they always make me feel welcome and taken care of. Dono Cafe has quickly become one of my favorite spots downtown. If you haven't been yet--go. You'll be glad you did. read more

Stopped in on a coffee tour and I love how vibrant the space is. You can tell that a lot of time went into the interior decor and I particularly love the newspaper wall. It's such a comfortable space. I'll have to check it out and do some work from here one day. The baristas are super friendly and I'm a fan of anyone who has good vibes. They accommodated someone I was with so well and I appreciated that. I got an iced honey lavender latte with oat milk and it was delicious! Sweet but not too sweet and I think the size was perfect. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

Friendly customer service! I was greeted with a hello when walked into the cafe. The space is bright, spacious, and open. It has that modern feel to it but along with a chill vibe that makes you want to stay and hang out. The music in the background was just perfect for a morning pick up. Not the usual loud obnoxious music blasting. It was subtle. The area is undergoing some construction but safe and would recommend those who are either visiting the area for the local games in town or event, to talk a brisk walk over to this sweet spot for their unique drinks! I had the "beehive" and a strawberry croissant. They do have plain croissants, chocolate croissants, muffins, and three different types of bagels - plain, everything, and cinnamon raisin. read more

Ok experience here. Was looking for their latte art machine but they didn't have it working for some reason which was a little disappointing. Cool decor and good coffee. They have food items on the menu too and quick service. It's right next to Dunkin park which is convenient too. read more

Found this coffee shop walking distance from our rental apartment while visiting Hartford. Across the street from Dunkin Park, a spacious yet cozy spot for reading, socializing, working, enjoying one's morning cup of joe. Dasia our barista was super friendly. We ordered a hot cup of coffee and a Cafe con leche. There was a cartoon on the wall mounted TV which Dasia offered to decrease the volume of for us. And then within minutes she opted to switch completely over to some mellow ambient music which we really appreciated. If we lived here, we'd stop by often! Super comfortable couches and loungey chairs available. Super clean bathroom you can use with a key. read more

Great coffee spot that I finally had a chance to visit in the fall. Love the space and I could see myself coming here to get some work Don as there were a lot of local college students here. I loved the coffee drinks as well as the seasonal drinks that were available. I did not try the food but could see myself checking out these option if I stayed longer. read more

This cafe is amazing! Staff and baristas were so friendly and accommodating. The decor is beautiful and the aesthetic is choice! The breakfast wrap is insanely good, they gave me a sinus tea that is helping me get over a cold, 10/10 would recommend!! read more

DoNo Cafe is a beautiful addition to the downtown area. This space has such a warm, welcoming and cozy atmosphere. There are comfy couches and matching rugs, making it look like home. The tables are chests with little succulents and candles on top. The large windows provide plenty of natural sunlight. Whoever came up with the design idea, knew what they were doing. The parking situation isn't ideal. You can park on the street for a small fee. Lucky for me, I found a spot right in front of DoNo Cafe. I came here with my mom and my brother. I got their Almond Joy Latte, my mom got the capuccino and my brother got the hot chocolate. I was super let down by my latte. First, as beautiful as this place is, I thought it would only be fitting if my latte came in a proper ceramic cup, instead of the paper nonsense. Next, this was not at all a latte. It was some very weak coffee, with some syrups added. There wasn't any foam like you would typically find in a latte. The almond joy flavor was ok. My mom's cappuccino looked like a cappuccino, however, it had no taste of coffee at all, as if it had been made out of just milk. My brother seemed happy with his hot chocolate. DoNo Cafe is dog friendly. There was a beautiful dog, who got everyone's attention with her charm. DoNo Cafe is a beautiful coffee shop, that I hope could improve their coffee craft. read more

Coffee shop in the bottom level of an apartment complex, that is right next to Dunkin' Donuts Stadium where the minor-league Yard Goat baseball team plays This place is right across the street from Semilla coffee shop, and it honestly seems like they are a worse version of the same concept Average drink selection, but the vanilla latte I got was underwhelming. They also forgot my latte at first, and then gave me a double espresso when I reminded them of my order, and only after I told them what I ordered again gave me the correct drink Have a fair selection pastries, but they all looked pretty generic and unimpressive. Have a few different breakfast sandwiches, but they were out of bacon so I opted for just an egg & cheese rather than a BEC. The sandwhich was solid. read more

Love this cute coffee spot. It's about time we have a place like this in the metro area. I love the way this place feels warm and cozy and there is plenty of space. The sofa corners are great to have a group of friends to enjoy some chats and coffee. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The coffee was good and it's reasonably priced. I will be coming here for a morning pick me up. read more

Was in downtown Hartford looking for a coffee shop and found this cute spot. The girl behind the counter was friendly and my hot chocolate came out quickly. Would definitely rank it in my top 5 cafes in Hartford and West Hartford. Looove that they have comfy couches and armchairs. Lots of street parking and parking garages nearby. Nice, quiet study spot. Great for groups or going solo. Will be coming back when I'm in the area read more

Let me start by saying this coffee shop is cute, convenient and the staff is pleasant. Unfortunately, twice I have gotten a sandwich delivered that was overcooked and burnt. They need to pay more attention to the quality of food they are preparing. Coffee is good! read more

my avo toast looked super old like it had been sitting out all day. when I emailed photos, I was met with absolutely no corrective action whatsoever. Terrible customer service! read more

The cafe is located across Dunkin Park. There are three to six 2-hr parking spaces paid by meter and one 15-minute space for quick pick-ups. I circled 3 times to verify before actually parking. It's absolutely cute, clean and nicely decorated. I am a little bummed all the plants are fake. It provides nice aesthetics although I would've loved to see real plants. There are plenty of couches to lounge on. Anyone working remotely can definitely use this as a work area for a change of scenery. My friend said so herself and considers coming in the future for that purpose. The staff are very pleasant and brought my beverage to my seat. I didn't get the chance to verify if they ever serve with mugs. That would be a nice option. They have some baked goods that I didn't get to try too. I wanted to try a different beverage so I got the Strawberry Beso. It wasn't bad, it was more so not my taste. Looking forward to coming back again and trying something else. read more

This spot has a great chill vibe and the service is great! Sandwiches soon to come and I can't wait, I'm sure it'll be great too. The coffee and smoothies are good. It's right across from Dunkin stadium. It's on the corner of busy intersection but that chill vibe inside mixed with the city life outside just fits. read more

Went before a yard goats game & was a great experience. Friendly & knowledgeable staff with a great vibe. Various tea & coffee selections, my cappuccino was fantastic, will be back! read more

Nice atmosphere and warm staff, but as a non-coffee drinker I found the tea selection disappointing - I would have expected a few options for black/green/white/herbal teas instead of generic tea bags from Lipton or wherever they get it from (the tag was taken off of my bag so I'm not sure). Also was annoyed that honey was an upcharge but I couldn't add it myself. Good reviews from the chai and latte from my group, one complaint that the matcha was too sweet. read more

DoNo is a great space downtown Hartford truly needed. The staff is incredibly welcoming and makes you feel like family and the coffee drink selection is ever changing- which I love. It's one of the few places you can go for a little bit of everything! The owner makes it a safe space for small businesses to talk about themselves and hosts pop ups regularly. Super cool concept what they got going on over there! read more

Amazing service, the food was quick & delicious. So many drink options to choose From. The cafe is full of couches and comfortable seating to enjoy your time. read more
