Best coffee around. Their treats are also absolutely delectable. Whether you are grabbing a drip or a latte- you won't be disappointed... and I loved the cups especially around the holidays! Their peppermint mocha is my all time favorite- I won't get it anywhere else! read more

Nice little coffee shop. outside seating in the good weather. But what they do best is coffee. Unlike some other coffee houses around , the coffee really shines here. Whether you have it here or buy whole bean to take home it is great. They really understand roaring and seem to get the best out of variety of bean. The staff are pleasant. read more

Coffee first shop. Best grinds around. Simple place, good people. Clean, seating fills up pretty quick

A lovely craft coffee roastery and cafe located in Canton. It's located in a baby blue house converted into a coffee shop. On a rainy day, we decided to finally try this place out. What's intriguing is, they roast, package, and brew coffee in this location. They also have fresh pastries. They give back to those in need and make sure farmers are given a fair wage. There were ample parking when we went and the cafe was very cozy. I had their lavender latte with almond milk; this was so creamy and delicious. I can taste the quality in this coffee. My husband had their cold brew and he's a cold brew connoisseur; he said it was one of the best he's had. Overall, a great spot to get your caffeine fix in. read more

Friendliest people ever! I just wished I was a bit closer to the coffee shop so I could become a regular. Their iced latte with oatmilk is one of the best in the state. Their coffee has a rich flavor and never fails to give me that caffeine buzz! Always a bit busy in there, but never waited too long for my drink. read more

My visit here was unexpected - I was visiting a local crystal shop that is about a 35 minute drive from me, and did a Yelp search on a good coffee shop nearby. As I pulled up to the location, I noticed the cute house, chairs and tables on the porch, and ample parking. The inside is cozy, but really cool. There's artwork, pretty decor, and there's a corner of the shop with items for purchase, including their coffee beans. There are also plenty of seats. I didn't get the names of the two employees who served me, but they were so nice, and their love for, and knowledge about, coffee was so apparent! I went with the Mexican latte because I love Mexican hot chocolate, but can't get it often. It was tasty and creamy. I am keeping this spot in mind for when I'm back in the area, and you should add it to your list! read more

Definitely a cute shop with very friendly staff! I wouldn't necessarily write home about the coffee, and would certainly classify the drinks as "small and overpriced", but if money's not an issue and you're someone who enjoys the experience of small shops, then it is worth checking out. I enjoyed my experience I just didn't think it was worth the price. I'd probably return for the honey and the baked goods (both local and awesome) but only if I had a few bucks burning a hole in my pocket. read more

Food and coffee are delicious! The Staff is super friendly. It's lovely. Where is the handicapped entrance/exit? The person I went to this coffee shop with is elderly. I walked in and asked if there was ramp to use rather than several stairs. I was told there isn't a ramp. Not sure how that passed certificate of occupancy and health department inspection. I hope I was misinformed by the staff. That makes little sense. Why was I told there is not an entrance without several stairs? read more

I used to urge people to make a pilgrimage to Giv. The baristas were that good. It's been over a year since I've had a good shot pulled there. I keep hoping they'll return to form. Now, I tell people to stop by only if they're in Canton and craving a Belgian waffle. read more

GIV! Barista retraining time. Stop burning the milk in the lattes. It's heated to 140 degrees to foam up slightly. Not supposed to be boiled to 195-200 degrees like your drip coffee! FOCK! read more

My mom and I went to Canton this morning. When we were in the mood for coffee, I suggested we go to Giv Coffee. It's a cute little coffee shop, with pleasant baristas. I ordered a latte, and my mom got a cappuccino. They were ready pretty quickly, they came in proper ceramic cups, with beautiful designs on top. My mom had her first sip, "oh this is so delicious" she gasped. Now, I have been to many, many coffee shops with my mom, most of the time she'll get a cappuccino, I have NEVER, EVER before seen her compliment a coffee like she has the one today at Giv. I also really enjoyed my latte. It was thick, creamy and just delightful to sip on! I tried my mom's, it was alright, but I liked mine better. To each their own! She raved about this coffee all day, while we were together. She even told the barista, as we were leaving how much she enjoyed the coffee, and that I'll be writing a 5 star review. Giv is named Giv for good reason. They give to those in need the proceeds of sale of their coffee beans. What's better than that? A brand that works to support those who need it! Little did I know, Giv Coffee was named the best coffee in Connecticut, according to Food & Wine Magazine. Now that's a pretty grand deal! read more

Great coffee, needs to be kept cleaner, especially the bathrooms. Food is very sweet and sugary

Giv Coffee is on my short list of favorite CT coffee businesses. Their coffee has been nationally recognized with Good Food Foundation Awards. Food and Wine Magazine named Giv the Connecticut selection on a 2019 Best Coffee in Every State List. Giv is clearly one of the most respected CT names in coffee. Giv is relevant to me for three distinct reasons. First, they have a great Canton coffee shop powered by people who are knowledgeable about coffee and friendly. Today, I ordered a black cold brew and they were able to tell me that it was made with an Ethiopian and Central American blend. It was very good and balanced. I could taste some of the classic Ethiopian fruit flavors, but they were toned down since it was a blend. I also bought a bag of Kenyan Washed SL 28 and SL 34 whole roasted beans for home use. Giv has inside and outside seating, and the store is modern and clean. Second, Giv coffee is served at multiple popular CT businesses closer to my Newington home. The best iced coffee I've had in a shop this year was a Giv Ethiopian Natural at Hartford's Story and Soil. It was a juice bomb! I've also seen Giv coffees used at HBC in Glastonbury and Heirloom Market in Wethersfield. They each also sell Giv roasted coffee beans. Third, if I'm not in the mood to drive 25 minutes to the Canton shop or to another Giv reseller to buy fresh roasted beans for home use, Giv will fresh-roast and ship them to me. Presently, they have free shipping on orders $25 or above. So, two bags of beans should get you free shipping. I can't speak to how Giv does with fancy coffee beverages, but if you're a person who values the quality of the coffee itself, Giv has got to be near the top of the CT curve. Five Stars read more

Definitely my new favorite coffee shop in the greater Hartford area! I've tried a few items on their menu, and all have been delicious. You can't go wrong with their mocha, hot cocoa, and latte. What I love about Giv Coffee is that their in-house baker (an absolute delight to chat with!) makes many of the syrups they use, including vanilla, for which they use real vanilla! The taste of real vanilla in your latte doesn't compare to the artificial stuff you'll find elsewhere. Tip: ask for extra vanilla; it's too good not to. Giv Coffee has an assortment of baked goods, with a few gluten-free and vegan options. Highly recommend the almond flour chocolate chip cookies and the peanut butter cookies, both of which are gluten-free. The inside is cozy, with a decent number of seats. They also have outdoor seating, so you'll likely find a spot. Highly recommend! read more

Oh wow, how have I driven past Giv Coffee without ever stepping foot inside for this long?? Cute coffee shop with outdoor seating, perfect for a beautiful morning like today. Unfortunately I was just running in for a coffee between errands and work. There was no line when I walked in, but lots of people enjoying their breakfast both inside and out on the patio. The woman at the counter was very nice. I ordered an iced caramel latte, a fruit crumb bar (couldn't resist) and 2 apricot almond scones for my kids. The latte and crumb bar were out of this world. A million times better than Starbucks and a better variety of treats. I'm tempted to sneak a bite of one of the scones but I guess I'll save those for the kids. Definitely coming back here read more

5 years later, I still find their beans to be super good. I love Giv, I wish they would open up a second location closer to where I live now (Bristol) as unfortunately they are just out of the way. read more

Was in the area and decided to stop in to get a coffee and some work done. I've heard very good things and even tried giv coffee at other shops (whattup Harford Baking Company) but haven't gotten a chance to try it in house. The vibe is very cozy and hipster. On a Monday afternoon, I actually felt like I was too old to be in there (and I'm 27). It's quite small inside but I was able to snag a table. I ordered an oat milk latte and their savory scone which was a bacon cheddar chive.... it was incredible. I love when cafes have oat milk, I just feel like it adds another level of flavor to lattes! Theirs was definitely one of the best I've had. The scone was perfectly warm and buttery without feeling heavy. Love that they offer guests free WiFi. I was there for a few hours and didn't feel pressured to order more like I've been treated at some cafes. Great vibe and would love to visit again if I'm ever in the area!! read more

My friend and I fell in love with this place when we first discovered their lavender latte. We don't visit as often as we used to but when we do lavender lattes are always what we order. On this last visit my friend ordered a chai lavender latte and I always get an almond milk lavender which by far sounds crazy until you taste it and then that's when you know you fell in love. Their sugar coated Belgian waffles are one of the best Belgian waffles I've had at a coffee shop. You don't even need them warmed to enjoy them but they definitely taste amazing when they are. To be perfectly honest I haven't ventured out of the realms of their waffles and their almond milk lavender latte. I'm sure the other treats are amazing as well as their other drinks. But when you find something that is amazing it is so hard to try other things. I may one day but as of now the waffles and the lattes are my heaven. read more

Being a creature of habit, I seem to gravitate to the Mocha. The Mocha here is very nice, not too sweet with a mellow dark chocolate flavor. I really enjoy their baked goods too. read more

Outstanding coffee, powerful GF deserts, I recommend this stop on your way to anywhere.

When you walk into Giv, you immediately feel like you've walked into a big bear hug. It's warm, cozy, and inviting. Their staff are some of the best, always excitedly welcoming you and happy to give recommendations when you're stumped by all of their great options. You really can't go wrong, but some of our favorites are their honey or caramel latte, nitro cold brew, and their coffee beans to brew at home. I also love bringing my laptop and working here for a few hours. The vibe is perfect and Wi-Fi is strong! read more

Dedicated roasters that spend time and invest in their farmers/sources. The shop is cozy and welcoming with lots of beautiful sunlight. Owner took the time to discuss different beans with us as we were selecting a couple of bags to take home. We are loving the shots we're pulling from these beans and will definitely be back. Highly recommend. It's not a foo foo syrupy latte type place tho so if you're looking for that try elsewhere. This is def a bean geek excellent espresso shot type of place. read more

They deserve 5 stars. I love this place. Great coffee, friendly staff, lovely building - inside & out. But I do have a complaint. A handful of times I've driven out of my way to get a latte there, only to find they're closed. ON A SUNDAY. I mean. C'mon folks. Let me pose a question: What's maybe the nicest day of the week to drive to a cute neighborhood, full of little antique shops, to grab a coffee at a favorite place? Is it a Tuesday??? No. Its the WEEKEND. Why why why, i repeat - WHY THE HELL would a coffee shop be closed at 1pm on a SUNDAY??????? I grew up in CT and we never had not one damn decent coffee spot when I was a twerp. Now, following in the footsteps of NYC, there are several. I did live in the City for many years and now I'm back but I HATE this about Connecticut. Places have the stupidest hours. They would never ever ever close a café in NYC on a Sunday. You would straight-up lose customers. So we drove to Avon and had our coffee at Dom's. And guess what? It was PACKED. I guess we weren't the only people who wanted a coffee on a Sunday. C'mon kids. Get it together. read more

Along with Daybreak in Glastonbury, my weekend luxe self-love cafes in Hartford county. Beans are lovely too- no longer subscribe to the delivery from Blue Bottle or Intellegentsia. Both cafes have delicious breakfast sandwiches so please try them. Giv's cute seating along the window w ample light and pillows was actually quite comfy as I worked for 5 hours non stop and had no problem. Baristas are all pleasant and patient in the many visits I've had. Never felt rushed or like they are rude or fake here. Non coffee drinkers should delight in their efforts to serve quite delicious teas as well. Their scones waffles and treats look great but I've yet to indulge. Cortado and cappuccino are so satisfying- they know the right portions and the foaming is always well done. Today my mocha was perfect as well. read more

Giv is just a couple of minutes from where my relatives live in Canton, and it wound up being one of my two favorite coffee roasters in the country. Their espresso is lively with a nice, robust crema, and many of the baked goods (including the biscotti) are great, too. It is never busy in the morning, and the service is very friendly. I would definitely recommend stopping in, even if the shop is a little out of the way for you! Do take home their beans, too, if you make your own espresso at home! read more

My all times favorites coffee and yummy homemade snack place in canton ct. great food, service and simple, relaxing coworker ambience.

I've been to Giv several times and each time gets better! The ambiance is cozy, welcoming, and comfortable whether you're getting something to eat or drink with a friend(s) or by yourself. The last time I went, I had an iced coffee that was made just the way I like it simply by telling the barista my preference and that I don't like things too sweet. Not only does everything taste great, I love the mission behind it. Great spot to go if you're looking for a new spot! read more

I love coffee and Giv is the best of the best. Their mocha is amazing. Real chocolate is in this drink, people, not a syrup. Actual BITS OF CHOCOLATE. And it's not too sweet... just perfection. Then, there are the waffles. So fresh and delicious with a perfect crunchy sugar coating. I went to Belgium and was actually disappointed in the waffles. True story. Favorite coffee shop in CT. read more

It has more soul than the corporate cookie cutters, less folksiness than Coffee Trade and less Euro glitz than Dom's. It is positioned squarely in the center of your Farmington Valley coffee options, and that isn't a bad thing at all. I had a nice breakfast here today. A terrific cup of coffee, a cup of cereal/granola with yogurt and honey, and a cranberry chocolate scone. Service was fast, friendly and efficient. The dining room is very nice and comfy. And my coffee was terrific. But unexpectedly, the star of my morning was that scone. I've had enough of these over the years to expect some dense and chewy mass that is half door-stop and half paperweight. But, man oh man was this one great. They get their dough from the New England Pasta Shop and bake them here. It was light and delicate and a far cry from the usual flattened shot puts of a scone I see far too often. It was a pleasure spending a half hour here today.. read more

Kinda rude service. I ordered a Mexican latte with oat milk. They made it with regular milk. No biggie. But didn't offer to refund me for the extra I paid for non-dairy option. The second drink I ordered was a cappuccino. Waited for awhile they never called me. Finally they saw me standing around and asked if I was waiting. I said yes. They said "well there was a cappuccino on the counter for 20 min so I threw it away"- funny I ordered just seven minutes ago. So they must've predicted my order 13 minutes before I ordered and expected me to know it was instantly ready before I arrived. And then blamed me. Yay. Coffee was fine. Not sure lattes were worth $7. read more

Went for coffee and breakfast on a Sunday around noon but they were unfortunately sold out of breakfast sandwiches and only had an assortment of pastries left. They have many great coffee flavor options to choose from. I ordered a lavender iced latte which was delicious. Staff was very friendly and personable. I will definitely be back to try the breakfast soon! (If I can wake up early enough!) There is also a cute outdoor area that is rented with lots of shade to sit with a pet! read more
