Iced latte
Michele R.

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.

Dirty chai

Date energy bar is big & packed with flavor. The chai has a great flavor. Missing one star in hopes that they create specials or add more drink options to the menu, BUT I have had their coffee in other shops and the consistency of great flavor is there. Happy to see this cute storefront

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!

Wildflower honey

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.

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

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!

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!

Medium iced caramel latte
Amy A.

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

oat milk latte and cheddar scone
Elisa F.

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!!

Almond milk lavender latte
Ali R.

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.

Latte, belgian waffle, iced coffee and peanut butter  energy bar- delicious

They are family owned and operated and have been providing the public with quality poultry and food…read moreproducts for over fifty years. What kind of poultry say you? How about turkey, Geese, Ducks, Chicken, Capon, roasts and boneless choices, and even Turducken. In case poultry isn't your thing, you can load up your shopping bag with a ton of other choices, hams, tenderloin, rib-eyes, shrimp, bacon, etc. And what's a nice slab of ham or turkey without the trimmings? No worries, mate, Miller Foods sell a ton of side dishes - both white and red mashed potatoes, Frozen Veggies, cous cous, rice, gravy, even ravioli and meatballs. They have you covered for dessert too. If you're a pie guy or girl, you can revel in their choices of Apple, Pumpkin, Boston Cream, Pecan, Chocolate Cream, Sweet Potato, Mince, Blueberry, Lemon Meringue, Strawberry Rhubarb, Cranberry Apple, and the seductively named Fruits of the Forest and French Silk. They set up a big tent around Thanksgiving and sell any Thanksgiving related goodie you can think of. There were quite a few samples available for your tasting pleasure, and we bought a big can of turkey gravy and a package of cheese because the samples were so good. We also bought a 14 pound fresh turkey for about $3 a pound. We really enjoyed our shopping experience. The store and tent are a lot of fun to wander around in, and the employees we interacted with were all super nice and helpful.

Unfortunately I won't be buying from Miller Farms through their Thankful Turkey program again. $99…read moregot me a 10 pound turkey which won't come close to meeting our needs this Thanksgiving. I would have preferred that both turkeys be donated if this is what I would find on my doorstep. Disappointing because other years when we have purchased our turkey through Miller Farms we have gotten a much better value than this year. Chalk this one up as a learning experience. Will not repeat with this program. Fortunately they delivered early enough I have time to make other plans.
