Outside is decorated well, and with it close to the lake and the park its got lots of alternative seating options around. Inside is a little sparse on seating and decoration. It's very much a brand new location just getting itself set up. It's got a little of the macabre themes but it's light and open. So it's basic but has a little character. The got a house blend with a snickers latte. No coffee cups just to-go. Took my pics and began the trek home. The coffee was very hot when I got it. They brew their drip coffee in large brewing stands so it's a very hot brewing method. Lose a lot of the subtle flavor notes that way, but as it cooled down I was able to get the bright and mid notes. It's a strong roasted flavor mid with a little of the bright fruity notes on top. With better temp control, would probably get more of the fruit notes. Good coffee, just limited by the technique. The snickers latte was surprisingly pleasant. It had a decent amount of sugar but the roasted peanut flavor combined with the roasted coffee flavor notes really played well against each other. It really helped cut through the caramel sweetness and led to a nice sweet dessert like sip. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, the lead brewer was happy to talk about their beans and process. They were busy though, so couldn't get all the details. But they know their beans and their roast. Price is actually kinda low for the quality. Not upset about that, but I suspect that they may raise prices as time goes on to match other coffee shops. They do make their own bakery items but the selection is limited. The cookie I had was a solid oatmeal raisin but wasn't unique or different. Just a well executed oatmeal raisin. As a coffee shop, it's still figuring itself out. Once it gets its character and refines its brew then it stands to be a strong coffee shop for the area. For now, it's great but basic.

"In a little café Just the other side of the border…read moreShe was a-sitting there a-givin' me Looks that made my mouth water" (Jay and the Americans) Outstanding - the Café Barista is outstanding. They pretty much do it all with a breakfast and lunch menu, gorgeous baked goods, plenty of coffee beverages, gelato, a big spacious dining area, Acai bowls and smoothies, nice outdoor seating plaza, friendly and very pleasant staff, and plenty of parking in a cute shopping center behind North Main Street. We fell in love with the Suffield Café Barista (there's also one in East Windsor) during yesterday's visit. It was difficult to limit the number of things we walked out with to a reasonable amount, but we did get a big soft pretzel, a croissant, a gingerbread muffin, and two Danish horns - chocolate-pistachio and an almond. We had the pretzel and the chocolate pistachio Danish yesterday, and both were stellar. We can't wait to finish off our haul and visit this sweet place again.

I wish this spot wasn't too out the way for me but I'm definitely planning my way back.

If you are dining in they bring your meal to you. Inside they have some table and chair to sit down and eat. People come in and out quickly so the tables could get a bit crumbly. But nothing a napkin can wipe off. The sandwich was good. A standard bacon egg and cheese. The bagel was soft and thick. I would definitely come back if I'm in the area.

Service is attentive, but the line is a total PITA in my opinion, but I don't know if that's just the design. If it's busy it's hard to tell where to get in line unless you've been there before. Seating and tables are fine, community based or individual tables available. I like it, but don't do breakfast / brunch often and don't drink coffee. A bit open for my personal liking but that's kind of the vibe here, so no real knock there. I just don't usually start before noon . If you're in the area or traveling, definitely stop by.

"Top of the list King of the hill…read moreA number one" (Frank Sinatra) We've been to a ton of Italian bakeries over the years. But I don't think we've ever fallen as head-over-heels in love with one as we did when we set foot into the Russo Pastry Shop. It's one of the most visually stunning bakeries I've ever seen! Walking into the store reminded me of the moment in the Wizard of Oz movie when the images transform from black and white into color. That's because vibrant, bright, gorgeous colors are everywhere inside Russo's. An embarrassment of riches are everywhere in the form of cannolis, cookies, pastries, and cake slices, And if you want some savory treats to accompany your sweet treats, well... no worries because Russo has pizzas, calzones, grinders, frozen pastas, parmigianas, and soups. We picked up a gorgeous slice of White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake, and it was so fantastic it's hard to put into words. We went into their freezer case and picked up two entrees -eggplant parmigiana and chicken parmigiana. They were priced as a $16.99 BOGO deal. We had both last week, and the portions in the containers were easily splitable for the two of us. The chicken parm seemed to have more inside the container than the eggplant did, and we both thought it was better than the eggplant. In essence we ended up with four dinner portions for just $16.99. Do the math-that's a tremendous value. After you do the math, do yourself a favor and take a ride over to Russo's for a fantastic experience.
