We found a nice table by the door, and the whole place had a very homey and relaxed atmosphere. I also loved that they have outdoor seating. I ordered a cappuccino, and it was very good. We didn't order any food because we already had plans to eat somewhere else down the street, although I'm usually tempted by something sweet with my coffee! This time, the desserts didn't really catch my eye. Many of the options appeared to be gluten-free, and visually they looked a little dry to me, so I decided to skip dessert. Overall, though, I really enjoyed the atmosphere. It's a comfortable, welcoming place to sit, enjoy a good cup of coffee, work on your laptop, or just relax. I would definitely stop by again!

The staff was friendly and it wasn't too busy both times I came in. I ordered a few of the cream puffs, a peach tart, and a golden milk latte. It was made to perfection and I can't say that about a lot of places. There is plenty of seating inside and space. I loved all the plants inside and the lay out. I will definitely be coming on more often!!

It took me far longer than I would have liked to finally try RaonJena. It's been on my radar…read moreadmittedly for years, but a close friend with similar taste raved about them recently. Finally I was able to make it in. I would say considering the years of build up, I needed to pause before an immediate review. The anticipation had led to unfair expectations, when in reality it was a great experience. Case in point, I ordered an iced latte with their house-made banana syrup. It was a very solid latte. The banana flavor was relatively subtle, but well done and obviously made with real, fresh banana. I think I would try something else next time, maybe one of their more unique offerings and see if I could possibly find more of a "wow" drink. But I got a very good banana latte, and if that's what you had a taste for, it's a great option. Definitely go for it. I will say they only offer one size for the specialty drinks. I typically order a larger one. I was more impressed with my pastry, their honey pecan tart. That had a nice flaky tart shell. Very light, not the slightest bit dry. The honey provided the perfect natural sweetness, and there were plenty of whole pecans. It was a terrific alternative to your usual syrupy, heavy pecan pastry. Very tasty, and again, not too sweet. I actually did eat it as my breakfast, and i think it works very well as a breakfast item vs a dessert. The space was very bright. There was a whole other room of seating, and it was nicely decorated with a fairly modern aesthetic. Lots of plants. It definitely seemed like a great place to hang out and work or just enjoy your coffee/food there. I took mine to go this time. The staff were laid back but friendly. It was a very nice experience overall. I would very much like to go back now that I know what to expect. But even now, I would certainly recommend it.

Still good coffee, but not as great as before…read more 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.

I'm an avid…read morecoffee drinker and a, I've never had burnt or sour espresso from them and b, they make everything perfectly EXCEPT the latte. For some reason they have one size and it's huge. We don't need that much milk in a latte! Make it smaller! Charge me the same! That's my only gripe aside from the whole dog thing. They love your pets and have treats for them. I'm just not an animal person but maybe you are and so that's why I'm writing this. Bring your dog here! Sometimes the place is dead quiet with everyone on their laptops but other times it's lively and loud with chatter. Younger crowd usually (it's a college town after all.) I just moved out of town but I'd come here over Silk City anyway. (Their espresso is MUCH better here)

"I don't remember what day it was I didn't notice what time…read moreit was" (Spiral Starecase) No, I don't remember what day it was or where it was, but I know it was at a Yelp Elite function. One of my friends asked me (quite earnestly) if I had ever been to the Community Room Cafe for breakfast because "it's really great". Well, we went there today and I sincerely want to thank that unknown Yelper because the Community Room Café is excellent. We found it in the Constitution Square retail area bounded by Cedar St., E. Main St., Market Sq and Lowrey Place in the center of Newington, CT. Parking is plentiful in the Square's large parking lot. Their space is amazing -big, cheerful, inviting, comfortable, colorful (plenty of orange and black). There are plenty of various seating options in the form of couches, upholstered chairs, table/chair groupings, and counter-style seats by the windows. We saw a few medium sized groups gabbing away at the upholstered seat area and a few industrious folks clattering away on their laptops. We each went with an Avocado Toast (@ $9) with mashed avocado, diced egg, diced tomato, bacon crumbles, cilantro, and Everything bagel seasoning blanketing a big slice of toasted rye. Seriously, one of the best breakfasts we had this year. I went with a small cold brew coffee and a shot of sugar-free caramel ($4.25) while my wife went with a small light roast coffee ($3). We loved everything about the Community Room Café- the food, the vibe, the décor, the service.... Everything. PRO TIPS Their WIFI password is (one word all CAPS) ILOVEMY COFFEE They have a meeting room available to rent for $50/hour during business hours and $100/hour during non-business hours.
