Came here as part of the coffee crawl! The last spot of the 17! I got their seasonal cherry vanilla syrup and added mocha to a cold brew coffee! Spoke with one of the women working and she was very personable. We chatted for a bit about coffee and which spots we went to. They have pastries and other drinks and a little outdoor seating area Parking is VERY limited and tight. They shed the lot with other businesses
I stopped off the highway here when traveling because I needed some strong caffeine. The coffee shop looks nice, clean and spacious. There is plenty of parking in the plaza. I ordered a hot mocha and it was delicious. The latte art was cute and the sprinkle of mocha on top made all the difference. They only have one size for the latte drink, but it was all I needed. I would definitely go back.
My favorite local coffee shop! Every season they hit me with a new amazing drink. The fall teddy graham latte is so delicious! The staff are super friendly and always happy to make recommendations or switch things up to your preference.
Great coffee shop vibe. Plenty of seating to enjoy your beverage and pastries. Great to hang out with friends or do some work. I love buying their whole beans to grind at home; it's so delicious! Service is absolutely wonderful with their amazingly friendly staff. Parking could be a little tricky as it's located in a small plaza with a few other businesses but that never stops me from going in.
I have been to Radial Coffee several times since they opened and each time I am blown away. They no longer stock baked goods from small state but still have a pretty good selection to go along with any of their hand crafted beverages. All their syrups are made in house and they add the perfect amount of sweetness to your beverage (if that is what you are in the mood for). The space is well appointed and has seval spots to sit and catch up with friends and benches where you could bring your lap top and get some work done. Great addition to the CT Coffee Shop Community.
I've been wanting to check out Radial Coffee for a while, they are located in Vernon, a bit of a blah town. So I finally took the half hour drive to check them out. They are located in what appears to be a little house. There's parking in the front for around four vehicles, on my way out I realized they have a substantial parking lot in the rear. The inside is super cute with hardwood floors, wooden furniture and comfy seating. It's not super spacious, but comfortable for a date or a solo adventure. At Radial they roast their own coffee beans. They had some pastries, but not many, probably because it was after 2:00 o'clock. For my coffee I got the Honey Maple Latte. The barista said I could take a seat, she would bring it to me. Well, it's a good thing she brought it over, because I would have spilled it. The presentation was lovely. It came in a navy ceramic cup with a saucer, with a design on top. This was one of the smoothest and creamiest coffees I've had in a while. From the texture of the latte its self, to the flavor, it is very smooth, in a way lux. The flavor was there but in a very organic way, nothing is too sugary. This was a very pleasant experience at Radial.
Can only speak for the cappuccino (and cozy shop), but we loved this coffee. We loved it so much, that we went to their other shop in Portland, ME twice more times. Definitely will be a regular stop on in our travels. (Lots of comfy merch, too, if you're looking.)
A knowledgeable coffee friend recommended Radial. Radial is both a roaster and coffee shop. The morning I visited, they had baked goods from Small State Provisions. The inside is both functional and comfortable enough for meetings with friends. My black iced coffee made with a Guatemalan Single Origin light roast was in the Top 10% of iced coffees I've bought from shops in the past few years. It had a slight fruit flavor and was almost tea-like. I bought a bag of the same beans for home brewing. Small State is an outstanding CT Bakery with spots at GastroPark in West Hartford and in Avon. I'm at their GastroPark location almost weekly. A coffee shop selling baked goods from Small State is a win. For this visit, the chocolate croissant and bacon cheese croissant weren't quite as fresh as I'm used to from Small State itself, although I later learned that the owner of Small State was on vacation and both Small State locations were closed the day I visited Radial. In any event, slightly less fresh Small State would be better than the offerings at most other CT coffee shops. Based upon this visit, Radial is a top tier CT coffee shop for me. 4.5 Stars
#20 in my NEW ENGLAND & NY COFFEE SHOP SERIES A super cozy coffee shop that is great for studying, working, chatting, or grabbing a great drink to go. I got a hot, tiramisu pumpkin latte for my caffeine kick and study session. I stayed there for over 6 hours studying, and it was a fantastic spot! They have a large communal table, bar top, and comfy chairs. They also have outlets, parking and free wifi! If I lived closer, I would definitely go back and try more drinks. I definitely recommend if you want a good drink and good spot to get in the zone. They also have all your classic coffee shop items as well as some pastry items made in house. All of the syrups they use are made in house as well. Fun fact: on weekends, they have delicious sourdough cinnamon rolls!
What a nice little gem of a coffee spot. I love supporting local coffee shops. What I enjoyed about radial is the customer service. They were so kind and patient to help me decide on what kind of coffee I wanted. I asked for a latte but with 4 shots espresso. The barista informed me due to the size of the cup I won't get much coffee but a to go cup would be better. I appreciated that tip because I like a strong cup to start my day. They only carry whole milk and oat milk. They make their own syrups which is a plus. I had 2 pumps of vanilla and it was the right amount of sweetness. The coffee was smooth with no bitter after taste. It's on the pricier side for 2 cups of specialty coffees it was $15 but honestly so good. Treat yo self!
It's not easy to find too many specialty coffee shops nearby this area of CT. Radial Coffee sources locally with places like Oakridge and Small State Provisions and do their own homemade syrups and spices. Radial makes breakfast sandwiches and decadent biscotti in-house and will be looking to expand on specialty offerings / menus soon. The indoor atmosphere of Radial Coffee brings together a mix of dark and warm color palettes with elegant wood accents. Each piece of furniture was brought in with intention for design and adds to their cozy, warm setup. Their vanilla cardamom latte or their maple ginger latte are two top choices! If you're not sure which drink to try or what beans to take home, their baristas are well knowledgeable and will help with any brewing question you might have! Beyond just their espresso, they highlight their drip coffee, chai, and hot chocolate. Key Features: Parking and easy access of the main street. A large variety of different types of seating options. Milk alternatives, coffee beans and other products to purchase. A bright and inviting space to be at!
Despite having dog friendly listed on their Yelp page, they infact are not, unless your animal is a service animal. I had only stopped in because it was listed that he was welcome, otherwise I wouldn't have. Had made it just inside the door and had a quick interaction with another guest regarding my dog (she was asking his name and if she could say hi) and was told that unless he was a service animal, I needed to leave. I've had their coffee before and can say with certainty that it is really good, and the space is cozy/cute, I'm just a little sad about the confusion. Updating the Yelp page would be beneficial, so someone else doesn't make the same mistake!
I was excited to try a new coffee shop and read good things about Radial. Parking in front is tight but there is some more in back. The baristas were nice but low energy. They didn't ask any questions or offer anything even though it was clear it was my first time here. I tried the gluten friendly lemon poppyseed muffin. It was kind of hard and dry. It tasted good but the texture left alot to be desired. I wouldn't get it again. I also tried the latte special which was a blueberry cobbler latte. Housemade blueberry syrup and dried blueberry crumbles on top. It was really good and I'd definitely get it again. There is plenty of space to hang out and outlets to get work done, which i did. The music playing was a good volume and was pleasant. Overall I think it could have been a better experience but I enjoyed it enough that I'll be back to try again.
My first visit to Radial Coffee was a quick but great experience. I am not in that area often, but found myself halfway there with free time, so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to give them a try. I know they are loved by friends who are true coffee experts. It was a very inviting space that seemed quite comfortable and like a good place to hang out. I just ordered my coffee to go today, though. They were incredibly cheerful and friendly. Just great, positive energy in the space overall. I tried one of their fall specials, the cookie butter cold brew. I am picky with cold brew, but this was excellent, and the cookie butter complimented it well. The warm spices and sweetness really worked with the flavor of the cold brew. I also appreciated that Radial is a roaster themselves. I would highly recommend them! Very happy I stopped. read more
Still good coffee, but not as great as before I go to this specific coffee shop quite a bit. They do a good coffee, and they got a reasonable selection of baked goods. I'm removing a star because the standards seem to be slipping a bit. They switched their bakery and although recently they've been experimenting with their in house baking there's a notable difference between what they outsource and what they make in house. The in house stuff is significantly better in terms of quality and freshness, and although priced high they are usually worth the price. The outsourced items don't seem as fresh and it's hard to justify the prices. The coffee is still balanced between the earthy coffee and the house made flavors for their lattes. The experience has been a bit colder as of late, which is fine if you're grabbing a cup to go, but not if you intend to write some reviews while enjoying a cup. That coupled with the multiple times there's been equipment failures which forced me to go someplace else. I honestly cannot state this is worth the trek to try only because there's a chance you can't get coffee at the cafe. I think it's time for myself to trek for another place. For those who want a good cup of coffee, this place is still good for that. Focus on the house-made stuff, order to go, and enjoy. read more
I absolutely love this place! This was our first stop for the Hartford Coffee Crawl, as we wanted to start North and work our way towards home. It's a really cozy vibe, and I can only imagine watching the snow in the winter come down as you're sitting looking out the window! The 2 employees that were working were very friendly. The gentleman on the bar was very helpful with questions we had. All of their syrups are house made, which i absolutely love. With that said, I ordered myself their pumpkin latte, and paired it with a chocolate croissant. The flavor wasn't overwhelming, nor was it overly sweet. Just perfection! The aroma was out of this world! I wish I could bottle it up and keep it with me all Fall! The only downfall is that it was a 40-minute drive from home, but it just means we plan ahead and make it a nice date day in the future! read more

This place is a vibe. Love the ambiance and the baristas are so friendly / helpful. We told them it was our first time visiting and they were so thoughtful. When we said we were going to stay and sit they recommended getting to go cups because we would get more based on our coffee choices. They didn't have to do that but it was appreciated. I honestly wish this place was closer because the coffee was so good and we felt so comfortable hanging out there. read more

Radial has become my new favorite coffee spot. They have the nicest staff who go above and beyond to make sure you feel welcome and enjoy your visit. They usually play good music and have a lot of seating for catch-ups with friends, studying, reading, etc. I ordered the teddy graham latte this weekend and it came with the cutest latte art! read more
