The list of options is extensive, lots of veggies, sauces, cheeses, proteins, and so on. I have not personally tried the eggs benefit, though I've heard good things, and know many people who enjoy the lunch sandwiches. My go to coffee anywhere is an iced americano, and I love it here too. The space is bright, with many seating options and nice patio space. It is a super inclusive and welcoming environment. Everyone who works there is extremely friendly and helpful, and I have never had a bad experience. The one time I had a blip with an online bagged coffee order, the person helping me was amazing and processed my order themselves and made sure I still left with my coffee. Wonderful place, my favorite Rebel Dog location.

Absolutely everything I have ever had has been so good, my friends all agree. We love Bruno's! They switch up their specials - monthly, I believe. Follow them on Instagram!

Let's talk service! They are always warm and welcoming. Attentive, friendly, patient, accurate and professional! We love that! My daughter nearly learned how to walk here. (She took laps up and down and outside holding my friends' hands... learned how to take her steps without assistance the very next day. If that isn't testimonial enough, Bruno's will always hold a special place in my heart. Also my friends get upset if they find out I went to Bruno's without them ("YOU WENT TO BRUNO's WITHOUT ME?!") Which of course I would not ever do. I always recommend people check out this spot and they always come back grateful and excited to return.

I've heard so much about Bruno's Cafe. I tried going here a few months ago, but they were closed…read morefor renovations. Although a scenic drive to Bruno's, it is completely out of the way for me, but I wanted to try them. This cafe is small, and very busy. They have some seating options, but all the seats were taken. They did have some tables and chairs outside, and it was a pleasant day to sit outside. Their milk is sourced from Arethusa Farms, one of the best, if not THE BEST local dairy resources. Their menu is large with coffee, tea, refreshers, including pastries, breakfast and lunch options. On this trip we got coffees. I got Nova's Nutella Latte, the others got a mocha and Kiwi, Mint & Lemongrass refresher. These were all very pricey, I was a bit taken aback. Each drink was between $9.00 and $10.00. Maybe it's because of the locally sourced milk, I can't think of another reason. My Nutella Latte was very chocholatey and very tasty, but my cup was also filled with ice all the way to the top. The refresher was very sweet, but a unique combo of flavors and pretty refreshing. The mocha was solid. Overall, maybe I got the wrong things at Bruno's, but I can't say I was super impressed, especially at such a high cost.

I also had the Honey Bun Latte, which was just okay for me; there was a bit too much cinnamon, and I could feel the grains on my tongue. They do have a Banana Brûlée Latte on the menu that I definitely want to come back and try. Overall, a great spot, and I'm looking forward to returning and exploring more of the menu.

I'm mostly updating this review to rave about their pumpkin pie latte. Pumpkin season is officially in full swing and the lattes around Connecticut are no joke. Café Amore has easily landed #1 in my book. The latte is sweet, but not to the point where you can't taste the pumpkin and other spices. The pumpkin cold foam is amazing, I want to put it on everything. It also comes topped with an adorable meringue pumpkin and cute and inspiring quote written on the side. Fun fact that a lot of people don't know, this was a cell phone store before the owners of Café Amore completely revamped it. Definitely worth the visit!

Perfectly fine quick breakfast spot…read more Came here on the fly, looking for new breakfast spots and found this one on my feed. The parking situation is a little weird, there's some spots in front or by the side, but they are not really marked well. But there's a lot of spaces for the actual dining space. The inside is simple but clean, lots of seats for the space and a reasonable display for their pastries and donuts. The menu is simple and the options are low. It's very much designed to be a quick breakfast spot. I opted for one of their donuts and a latte, with a French toast platter. Food came out quickly, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was okay. The donut was large, cakey but freshly made. The strawberry frosting was a little heavy on the extract which gave a chemically taste to the frosting, but it wasn't off putting just noticeable. The French toast was slightly undercooked, but I do enjoy custardity bites so it was good enough. The eggs were also underdone, but I just ignored those. The turkey bacon was crisp and the home fries were seasoned very well. Unlike other home fries I have had, these ones actually had flavor. As a breakfast spot, it does well enough for the local crowd. When done properly, the food put out at this location can be good if not great. I'm fairly confident if I made them aware of my issues, they would resolve them without fail. If you need a quick breakfast and happen to be in east hartford near the police station, his place works for that quick meal. It isn't fancy, but it's basic food done right.

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?
