This cafe is definitely unique. It has an art studio in the back of the cafe. The Parking is kind of hard to find because it's on a main rd in Hartford. Staff were friendly but forgot about my bagel. I ended up waiting a long time for my bagel with cream cheese. I had reminded staff once but they still continued to stock items and take other orders before preparing mine. Staff did apologize and thank me for my patience after all was said and done.

I ordered the iced latte. However I felt like for a coffee shop the coffee options were limited and didn't offer any specialty drinks/menu . And i didn't see any options for adding flavours like vanilla or hazelnut either which was disappointing for someone who ho loves to add flavour to coffee ( not sure if I just had to ask for it .. but didn't see it on the menu as an option) They did however offer a variety of different types of coffee and brewing options which was different . They also offered pastries and a limited food menu as well which I felt was little pricey . And the seating is also very limited , and uncomfortable . Not ideal for sitting and chatting for extend periods . Ideally I would come here for a grab and go coffee if you want something nice and simple .

The café itself is super cute and had a cozy, welcoming vibe. Their bakery case was full of delicious looking treats that were hard to resist. Since I was on my way to an event with food I didn't get to try any pastries this time but I did order a honey cortado and it was perfect.

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.

My biscuit sandwich was pretty life changing! The bisuit itself was flaky moist and oh so tender. Homemade sausage was seasoned beautifully. Elevating the sandwich was a baked egg, firm but custardy interior and the side of sriracha syrup. Less than a mile off of 91 on our way to Trillium Canton for our son's 30th birthday celebration!

The overall quality of food and service is good enough to justify coming even if you're not viewing the collection (tell them at the desk so you don't pay admission for art you're not there to see). The menu is compact, but imaginative and varied and the food is high quality. The dining room borders the courtyard making for a nice setting (cool wall treatment too) and seasonal outdoor seating. I opted for a Reuben: nicely balanced on a tasty marbled bread. Out server Alycia wisely advised me to upgrade from fries to Brussels sprouts with the amazing (for Hartford) vino cotto sauce. Easily the best deal in town, they are delicious! On the downside, the little side of cold bean salad was bland and some workman was going at something pretty hard with a hammer drill during lunch service. I therefore have to ding them a star. On the bright side, the work's probably finished by now so you can have a relaxing meal. Something a little different and fun whether you're an art connoisseur or not!
