Quick service, good quality food and coffee…read more Was trying to go to a new place that just opened up. They were not open, so came here for my breakfast. Inside is nice and spacious. Staff was nice but were in the midst of conversation when I approached the register. They quickly took my order then went directly back into conversation. Felt like fast food service, more a number than a guest. Food came out quick. Had to stage my pics a bit but easy enough. The double chocolate latte was chocolaty and creamy. Coffee was strong enough to punch through the sweet and was well balanced as a drink. The sandwich was plentiful on the pulled pork and the egg was cooked well. Bun was soft and buttery but not pillowy. Which is good because you want a breakfast sandwich to be structural enough to hold its shape after each bite. Price was about 20 for the sandwich and latte, which isn't too bad for the quality you get. Much better than your fast food chains, even if you get the same service. A great quick stop location, worth a try but not a trek.

I was recently diagnosed with celiac, so when I realized everything was gluten free, I was honestly overwhelmed with excitement. I wanted to try everything. Since it was after 11, I decided on a chicken quesadilla--and wow. It was crispy, cheesy, and everything I've been missing about quesadillas. The coffee was delicious too. We split a peanut butter sandwich cookie, which was absolutely incredible. I also took a blueberry muffin to go because I knew I'd want it the next day--and I was blown away all over again when I enjoyed it with my coffee at home. This is definitely going to be a regular stop for me!

I was starving by the time I got here, and was grateful that they serve sandwiches as well as some sweet options. I tried the bacon and fig sandwich, as well as their ham and swiss. Both were delicious and I would definitely get them again! Since I was heading to Massachusetts for a day trip, I decided to get 2 refreshers on my way out for the road. I decided on Blue Magic and Purple Rain. Despite being brightly colored, they have no artificial colors. They were both incredible and perfect for my road trip on a warm day. The owners and the baristas were friendly and welcoming, and I will definitely be back to see them again!

Still learning, but good coffee…read more New coffee place grand opening. Not too far off the beaten path and opening during the week to iron out details? Sure, let me take the trek and give them a try. Was very early, so there was a group of 6 people all waiting on people to show up. Slightly awkward coming in with everyone bright and attentive. I ask about lattes and they tell me their flavors. I opted for their hazelnut latte and a drip coffee to go which I would pick up later when I was going to leave. Asked if they did food, they did and referred to the menu which was turned off. They fixed that quickly and I opted for their sausage egg and cheese. Also got a holy donut which they got from Maine. Wasn't sure how it would be fresh, but was intrigued. Drip coffee, latte, and food were all delivered at the same time. Chalked it up to nerves, grabbed my bites and took a seat. The space is large, a couple of couches but mostly chairs. Coffee bar was in the far corner by the door, had sugars but no milks. Also no station to drop off dishes. Assume someone would have to bus tables in that setup. The hazelnut latte didn't have strong notes of either hazelnut or coffee. I mostly got milk, which is correct for a latte but was hoping that the coffee would shine a bit more. That plus the hazelnut flavor was house made so I assumed that it was just very light in flavor. The drip coffee was very hot and a little weak. Got some fruity notes on the front, but no coffee mid and finish was watery. Fine if you drink your coffee with lots of milk and sugar, but those are not as needed since there's not a lot of bitter to counteract. The donut is a baked donut, dense and was a little cold due to it being so early and then just coming out of the fridge. Good lemon flavor, but it's a donut that screams for coffee to lighten up the density. The sandwich was not bad, but not great. The bun, cheese, and aoli were very good quality and treated well. They toasted the bun, melted the cheese to a gooey consistency, and the aoli was rich and had a little spice zip to it. The egg and sausage were pre-packaged, a little too small for the bun size, and the sausage was very dense and rubbery. I informed the head barista of the coffee issues. they agreed to look into it, but didn't action anything right away. I hope they will tweak the coffee issues, and they are brand new so there's still those first day jitters to work out. Brand are from a west Hartford roaster, and they do medium and dark roasts. As a brand new place, it's got some tweaking to do. The foundation is good, but the location is right on the cusp of the rural part of the state. They will need to dial in their offerings and get their name out there quickly to get the locals on board. Signage will be key, and social media will need to be out in full force. They can be great, and they got a good staff with the knowledge. It's a little rough around the edges currently.

Good local bakery with traditional and exotic baked goods…read more I come to Carlitos on the occasion for a cupcake or slice of cheesecake. I personally am not a major fan of filled cupcakes, but sometimes I do appreciate a pudding filled pure decadence cupcake. The crumb is tender, the frosting is plentiful, and the price is reasonable.

This was the second cake the Carlitos bakery made for the shower because I DROPPED THE FIRST ONE! I picked the first cake and within 15 minutes a dropped it getting out the car. I called Carlitos immediately! Not only did the owner graciously made another, but most importantly, the cake was for an event the very next day! The miracle and patience this woman had was commendable. Needless the day the service is 10/10! The food: JESUS! I've used Carlitos before the bridal shower. She made a cake for my sisters birthday and some pastries for a friend's event. The mini cheese cake sups are delectable! Mouth watering and the perfect portion. The quesitos are rich and fluffy. The atmosphere: Inviting. It feels like friendship. Like a home. Almost like Sunday mornings at your aunts house or grandmas. The place is clean and warm. The display cases are full and very tempting! Pricing: BEYOND fair. When I dropped the cake she charged me less than the first one. Please stop by and give the wonder small business some love!

The girl taking the orders, was also taking payments and making orders. She brought my açaí bowl out to me. This was super fresh and tasty. The açaí base was freshly made, topped with strawberries, blueberries, banana and granola. It was very cool and refreshing on the 80 degree day.

Unfortunately, there was only one team member there for the opening but she was doing a remarkable job handling it all. A second team member appeared to show up about 7:05 AM and things smoothed out. I wasn't in a particular hurry, but 14 minutes from order to delivery seemed on the long end for takeout. It was certainly worth the wait. I ordered a cupcake as a birthday gift for someone, an oat milk latte, and the protein breakfast bowl. The breakfast bowl was outstanding. A wide range of eggs and meats, perfectly heated, and a generous portion. The oat milk latte was likewise delicious, and well prepared. The cupcake, which I'm supposed to deliver this afternoon, is on the 50-50 list of whether it will make it because it looks so good. I want to eat it now! #It'sYourBirthday?
