The worst dining experience I've had in 20 years in West Hartford. They started by telling us a…read moretable was ready when it wasn't, then tried to seat four people at a two top and it went downhill from there. Drinks were forgotten. The system accepted an order over the phone , then lost it. They forgot to deliver one meal, then when asked about it, it was still sitting under the warmer. The eggs were rubbery. They forgot the toast, and it arrived even later than the already late eggs. The manager has implied this is all our fault for not understanding technology. Their systems are chaos, their servers are inexperienced, and the entire meal was a fiasco. 0/10. Do not recommend.

An absolute gem on the Main Street downtown, Walnut Beach Coffee does not disappoint…read more The atmosphere here was fun and energetic. Local photography and art (available for purchase) were sprinkled on the walls. The staff was friendly. For food, I ordered the Turkey Bacon, Egg, and Cheese on gluten free bread. It was phenomenal. My friend got the avocado toast. One thing to note - the portions are large! It is incredible value for the price. I also ordered the 4th of July special the Blackberry Pie Latte. It was delicious. The blackberry and vanilla syrup combo are superb. This is a great spot to walk or bike to if you are staying in the area.

The staff was very kind and helpful as this was my first visit. You order at the bar and they bring the food right to your table. The waffles themselves were whole wheat and very filling. The cardamom latte was strong, I would opt for cardamom chai next time. It was fun to try something new. I wish I had bought a few pastries to take home, their display case is very tempting. Excellent for families/date night/solo time.

Many entrees are already served on a bed of lettuce and slice of bread. Note: Kitchen CLOSES for orders of meals at 3:00 pm on weekdays. Very vintage with great entree presentation. I love the quiet areas with single seating if you prefer coffee only while working or reading. This cafe has a boho and a one of a kind vintage feel. Nice crowd with people of all ages and a friendly staff. Very unique bakery desserts but Priced equal to most specialty coffees. Self seating with payment and order in advance on an I pad. Choose your own table and food is served to you! A large menu to choose from. Seafood entrees would be nice for vegetarians. Even a tuna or shrimp plate with soup and salad. One REQUEST.... PLEASE serve HOT specialty coffees in different cups or add a cover to keep them HOT. My pistachio goes cold well before I finish my meal so I skip dessert for that reason. Perhaps offer a refill. Ice is needed near water dispenser. Truly a diamond in the rough! I highly recommend pistachio coffee, cafe, and everything within it.

My son and I stopped in here over the Christmas break while we were in New Haven…read more It was cold and the ride from New Jersey was long enough that we wanted to grab a coffee and pastry. Wonderful selection of baklava and similar pastries. We ordered a coffee and I had a specialty coffee and we ordered 3 of the various pastries. It was more than $30. I did not ask the price on the pastries prior to ordering- so that's on me. This has the feel of a local stop and regulars so if you're in the area it's worth checking out.

They serve salads, sandwiches, wraps, quiche, pie, and a marvelous assortment of pastries and chocolates, plus there is wine to enjoy. They have loose teas, teaware, and gifts.

Opened in September 2016 by Polish emigrant Kasia Lindeberg, who had spent 15 years working in a Stratford health food store. She studied nutrition, deepening her understanding of naturopathic medicine and herbs to heal both body and mind. This is a great place to come and relax, or to order to go. Their website, https://opendoortea.com/, is beautiful and full of information. I highly recommend a visit; you'll be glad you did. Craig

The counter top order is in back with smoothies and tea available, as well as what I suspect are vegetarian treat. A fine brownie in a fine brownie, and the scone was flavorful without being dry.
