Long space with ample of seating options and great natural light. You'll find people working, chilling, catching up, etc. The vibe is chill. The artwork on the counter elevation is beautiful. Now moving on to what we ordered: * chai (iced with gulab jamun sweetener) - their chai blend is amazing. I usually prefer not to try chai lattes/ chai because hardly any cafes get the taste of chai right. But the chai at BOP is very close to Indian chai taste. * iced latte with oat milk and gulab jamun sweetener - I usually don't like how oat milk overpowers the taste of an iced latte but for whatever reason I didn't have that issue with the iced latte at BOP. It was really nice. * porridge of the day with marmalade and cookie butter - delicious. We're excited to return.

I'm grateful to live close enough to J René that I can walk or bike here without issue. This is a…read moretown with many great coffee options, and J René is arguably the best, depending on what you're into. It's more expensive than a Dunkin or Starbucks... of course. I can't believe some of the reviews. The coffee is roasted in house, the syrups are from scratch. If they could fit a cow in their (way too small) parking lot they'd probably have fresh milk and cream, too! Went in yesterday for a work meeting and the service was even better than usual. The vibe and atmosphere here is great for meetings, business or casual. My associate and I split a Siphon Pot to start. If you have the time, this is the very best way to enjoy your coffee. It really pulls the flavor out of the beans, on par with a pour over or aeropress, but it's also perfect for sharing. Afterwards, we both got Cortados, which were excellent, and I brought ice coffee back to the office for the man we left behind to run things. He sighed happily after sipping it, commenting that he could tell it was from J René. Why not 5 stars? The food is ok but I'm not a big fan of the pastries I've tried here. They're "fine". Normally my wife will get one and I'll try a bite or two. She's really into croissants and won't get them from here, saying they're a waste of money. The prices can feel a little steep here, especially compared to other good, local spots. Lastly, the parking lot is so tiny and during busy times of day the road can get crowded as well.

I took Jose's recommendation for the coquito latte and WOW. I'm a coffee lover, and while a classic cortado was tempting, this coquito latte iced was to DIE!!! I get coquito every year for Christmas from friends and this gave me the subtle authentic nod with a caffeinated pinch I really needed. Wishing this business mucha suerte! Delicious!

The newest coffee shop/bookstore hybrid has just opened in South Windsor, and it is bustling with…read morebook lovers and coffee lovers alike. The Wicked Press is an independent space, it was very busy when I arrived. The layout is designed where in the center you may order your coffee, on the left you can browse through their books, and on the right they have a used books section. First, I noticed how on theme their drinks are. For instance there's a drink called "First Chapter" and another called "Wicked Debut", among many others. I got the Wicked Debut, iced it tasted like Nutella in an iced coffee. Very tasty! The books are the newest trendy releases. If you're having a hard time deciding on what to read, and you're overwhelmed by the choices at traditional bookstores, it'll be much easier to make your pick here. Every part of this cafe is designed with books on mind. They have a very cute backdrop designed with books of course. Additionally you'll find totes, bookmarks and more. I absolutely loved this little gem and my Wicked Debut. I'll be back here soon.

The associate decided on a "Blonde Blend", which turned out to be a good choice. A fairly new establishment, which has not yet been inundated with those on laptops thinking it's a "student lounge " Great atmosphere to sit and enjoy coffee or other drinks and some food. The staff was very friendly and attentive. In addition to coffee and tea there were plenty of books for sale, both new and Used all categorized depending on your taste. Additionally, there is a retail section throughout the store selling T-shirts, cups, bags, and other coffee and tea products. The shop was extremely clean. Oh, can't forget my bathroom comments. Other than someone missing the trashcan and decided not to pick up the tissue paper. The bathroom was extremely clean. My first indication that everything else is clean. When I walked in, there was one other person sitting at a table and one in a lounge chair. By the time I finish my coffee more and more customers started to come in. I would definitely return. Located in the strip mall with plenty of parking. Their hours of operation are Monday and Tuesday 7 to 2, Wednesday through Friday 7 to 6, Saturday and Sunday 8 to 4.
