Stumbled upon this cute bake shop in west Hartford. Enjoyed an iced coffee and some sweet treats. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Restaurant was clean. Prices were fair

I was looking at IG. I came across these delicious sandwiches. They do breakfast and catering. I walked into the establishment. It was so cozy. They had couches, and tables and their coffee's were good. They have several different homemade breads. I viewed all 179 pics. I came across a "Southwestern Turkey Sandwich". The friendly cashier told me it was her favorite sandwich. Of course, I took a pick of the surroundings. When you are in CT. Make sure you visit" Hartford Baking Co. for your food. Yelpers let's continue to eat our way through the world.

Pretty basic bagel sandwiches at an above average price. I love that there is a gluten free option though and it was very good. We placed an order for delivery so we did not get to experience the dining area or staff. One bagel in our order was wrong - it looks like they had to manually transfer the order from Uber Eats to their system and it was transferred over incorrectly (because the receipt taped to the bag with our name had the wrong order on the receipt).

Scone

I made a special trip to come to Hartford Baking Company. I have to catch the Port Jeff ferry at a certain time but to me breakfast is an essential part of my day? Now add outrageous coffee? Hartford Baking Company, you make my heart sing! Baked goods? I'm all in for a freshly made scone, so so good. The bakery itself is very large, lots of tables for sitting with a hot cuppa coffee and your freshly baked items.

While in Glastonbury, my friend and I stopped by The Hartford Baking Company. I've never been impressed by their coffee, so I got a Blood Orange iced tea. My friend got a hot chocolate. I've been eyeing their Junk Bar every time I've gone inside. To feel less guilty about it, we got one to share. It is so very clean, spacious and bright inside. I asked for a plate when we got our Junk Bar Brownie. They told me they don't have plates. This is very strange. Don't people dine inside, they have tables for sitting, how do they not offer plates to eat off of? I knew the Junk Bar would create a huge junky mess inside of their very clean space. We ate it of a piece of paper, and it made a mess. Rant aside. This is absolutely delicious. This is a chocolate brownie, with marshmallows, Oreos, pretzels and coconut. All of it together, is so good, sweet and a bit of a salty crunch. My friend really enjoyed her hot chocolate. My Blood Orange iced tea wasn't very flavorful at all. I asked to add some honey, that was ok. They make delicious sandwiches and great bread, which I've had previously.

This is a really cute and calming coffee shop to visit if you ever need a place to relax or have a chat with a friend. The location they have in West Hartford is much larger and probably better for studying and working, while their location in Glastonbury is better for just hanging out. I ordered a plain black coffee with almond milk and was surprised with how well it tasted. Out of all the coffee shops I have tried in town, Hartford Baking Co. is definitely at the top of my list after my last visit. I also tried their breakfast sandwich and peach crostata which were also as delightful. I definitely recommend giving this place a try and plan on returning for my next coffee run!

Went to this place on a whim, half-exhausted from the gym and looking for a coffee in the morning. Still a bunch of places I have yet to try, and this one's been on my radar for a few days. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I stammered in and asked for the best thing they had. They made mention their chocolate croissants were fresh made and still warm, and their breakfast sandwiches were really good. opted for the sausage sandwich, got a cold brew and a brown butter chocolate chip cookie with one of those fresh croissants. Some items didn't survive the trek home, hence the lack of pictures. But everything was very good! The Chocolate croissant was the best of the lot. still slightly warm, flaky and crispy and just sweet enough. Very tasty, and glad I opted for it, even if it ruined my gym gains. The coffee was cold brew using Giv beans, which a lot of the higher-up places use. Very solid coffee, no bitter notes but earthy and hints of chocolate. Felt a little bad adding milk to it, was expecting the coffee to be mediocre as best The sandwich was good, but not amazing. the cheese didn't have much in the way of flavor, and the fresh-ground sausage was light on seasoning. The roll was very good, soft and toasted in real butter. It kind of overshadowed the other ingredients though. The brown butter cookie was also good but kind of one-note, slightly mealy and was missing salt. Was very sweet and needed other flavors to help curb the sugar flavor of the cookie. Price was okay, coffee was 4 bucks for a very solid cold brew. sandwich was 5.50 so a decent price. They really have mastered the bread, and it shows in their quality. The rest, well it needs a little more flavor. it's leaps and bounds better than any large-chain breakfast places I know of. So if you're in the area, give them a go!

Worse bacon  looking

Come on $3.21 for a can of soda let's be real and $10 for a small egg and cheer sandwich with some worse bacon looking this place is a worse place to spend your money do not support this place when they trying to take $3.21 for a can of soda not even a bottle yea I would never come here again

Decadent dark hot chocolate
Megan K.

I hadn't yet been to this HBC location until the other day when I went to get my decadent dark hot chocolate and I absolutely love it! I didn't realize how big this location was until I pulled up, and it's really nice inside. The staff who took my order were beyond nice and really funny, and it was a really enjoyable ordering experience. And now, about the reason I was there. This month they're featuring a different hit chocolate weekly and this last week was a dark hit chocolate with either a marshmallow or whipped cream. I'm extra, so I got both, and wow was it beyond delish. I am going to have to come back weekly now to try the others as well, because it was that good!

The E-BAT
Elisa F.

So excited they opened this new location literally 10 minutes from our house! Ordered takeout the other day after an AM appointment in Glastonbury. The wait wasn't long and everything was just as good as what we've recieved at other locations. There's nothing worse than ordering the same thing at a new location and it not tasting the same - that's NOT the case here. Our favorite sandwich is the E-BAT which is an egg sandwich with bacon, avocado, and tomato on biroche. The only downfall is that they don't serve sandwiches "pressed" at this location when they do at others...perhaps it's coming soon. However, the sandwich was just as good! So excited for this local company to blow up in Gbury!

Flower pots outside..a little thing but a big nice touch
Larry S.

I love walking in the door and getting a "hello!" The app works great and the order is always ready, most times, as I come early after a sunrise run/workout, they get the order done very fast. The tomato jam on the egg sandwich is awesome Since I live a distance away I always etc. extra rolls for the freezer, so I get to enjoy the taste anytime I grill. I am a fan of the scones and sometimes take one home to freeze as well. warms well in the oven! Wide open seating, clean and with some outside tables I meet up with my Hartford area folks after when I know I am coming up. Go enjoy!

They close at 3:00 on Saturday and we walked in pretty close to that time. The cookie case on the left was still full, the pastry shelves were empty as the goods had been taken to the back, but we did see some cakes out on the right side of the store. The young lady that helped us was great -she said that they had a lot in the back, so what where we looking for? We asked for a chocolate croissant and a cinnamon bun, and while she was packaging them up, we spied a great looking mini loaf of chocolate chip banana bread that became art of our order. The cinnamon bun was great -super fresh, super moist with a great sweet cinnamon filling and vanilla icing on top. The croissant wasn't as good -it tasted stale and we were disappointed. The chocolate chip banana bread was fantastic -super fresh, super moist, bursting with banana flavor and lots of yummy chocolate chips. So asides for that clunker of a croissant, we were very happy with our other two purchases, and the sweet young lady that helpedus.

While the pastries are classic and exactly what you'd expect from a high-caliber Italian bakery, the real gem is the Italian ice located in the cafe. Good lord, the flavors and quality are on a different level--this isn't that Rita's or DQ garbage. The chocolate and strawberry combination is specifically incredible, honestly better than Godiva chocolate-covered strawberries. It provides that deep, rich profile and authentic taste that defines their Itallian vibe. One professional tip for anyone stopping by: bring cash. The cafe doesn't accept cards, and you don't want to be the one standing there empty-handed when you're that close to the best Italian ice on the planet

I popped in because the parking lot was mostly empty. It wasn't particularly busy in the cafe either. There were two small groups ahead of me in line. I order my food and black iced coffee to go. I received my food. It even had to be heated. And I had to wait 10 minutes for them to give me my black iced coffee. Even though there are only two or three people waiting in the drink area. And that was after I said something. So who knows how long it would have taken. This isn't because of lack of effort. The baristas were doing things. They're making lots of drinks. But it's not clear for whom. They finish the drinks and they don't call people's names. Maybe they're for to go orders? I understand that restaurants need to make choices about how they run things. All I can say is, that it's not a good experience to get all of your food and you have to wait for a black iced coffee (a drink that takes very minimal effort) for 10 minutes. Even though you're one of only a few people in the drink area. I'm not going to change my review score. But these experiences definitely affect how often I visit.

I also got the salted malted hazelnut cookie. I will say their pastries and coffee are probably the best thing! As for the food again, it's very salty! We tried the pepperoni pizza this time, and although pepperoni is salty, it was a little bit overboard. We also tried another salad and again it was completely drenched in dressing. Half of our order was completed when we sat down. I was able to finish my pizza before the salad came out. I wish everything was a little bit more organized, and came out together.

The cookie I got they recommended I didn't love either. A bit dry and cakey. Wasn't in the case just a pre packaged cookie. Enjoyed the brownie also. I think the stuff in the case is probably more fresh so I'd stick to those items. Would definitely come back for a donut and cupcake! Yum! Cute place. You can also call ahead and order stuff and they will put it in the refrigerator on the side for you. They had all kinds of things in there as they have lunch items too.
