we're in town visiting family and stumbled across this cafe one morning. it's a cute spot with a…read moredecently sized food menu, fresh pastries, and delicious drinks! i ordered a hot vanilla latte with oat milk and loved it - i'm sure what syrup/flavoring they used but it's great. not too sweet but not bitter either. i also had the avocado toast - the cucumber ribbons and lemon zest/juice was a great addition and made it even more fresh. this might be the thickets bread i've ever had toast on but it was super filling and made it feel worth the cost ($9-10 for a single slice). my partner also really enjoyed the BEC breakfast sandwich!

We arrived at Silk City Coffee at around 11 AM on Saturday. There was still decent parking spots in…read morethe lot behind the cafe so parking was easy and so was finding the cafe. I love the open space-- there are a lot of working tables where people have their laptops open working and just people connecting with each other. There was a decent line when I went to make my order because there was only one person at the counter but it felt like it moved pretty fast. I ordered a breakfast biscuit and a basic iced coffee. The ice coffee was handed to me from behind the counter and once my biscuit was ready they called me by name from that counter by the self service. They provide half&half, whole milk, and oat milk at the self service as well as a couple of sugar varieties. This month their give back cookie is a vanilla cookie which I ordered as well-- it was denser than expected but for the sake of an important cause I'm glad I ordered it. They also have a restroom near the back. Parking is free for 3 hours or you can also pay 2$ for a full day parking. Beautiful cafe in downtown Manchester! Perfect to just hang out and to get some work done with convenient parking and seemingly ample outlets.

The roasted coconut aroma is just right. It's recommended to tell the staff to ask for less sugar, otherwise it will be very sweet. Perhaps I just can't appreciate coffee with so much spice.

Although I did not get a sandwich, while I was there about five people did and they looked hearty and delicious. Everyone seemed to enjoy them. Bonus: In the alley there's an ice cream shop that's connected to them and the shakes I saw go by looked amazing too. I'll be back to try the food and the ice cream very soon! Bonus #2 doggos are welcome too.

I'll be straight up off the bat...I used to be a regular here many years ago (when I lived…read morelocally). Therefore, it was sort of a homecoming for me. As usual, the experience was great. As a small business owner myself, I love seeing businesses like this grow and thrive. I remember when it was just the owner and one staff...there were now three working their butts off! The service and food reflected this. It's awesome to see how The Bean has grown - especially since Covid caused many similar places to go under. Check it out! Trust me.

Stopped by for a mocha and a breakfast sandwich. Both were…read morevery good, especially the chocolatey mocha. Service was super friendly and fast. Would stop by again if ever in the area.

Ordered the nitro cold brew-yum, iced americano-good, rose cardamom latte-fantastic! Exactly as imagined! (had to try the syrups as they are listed as homemade!) Coffees were good.

Interesting find in bothering bathrooms...they were extremely clean and had a help cord : )

Great little coffee house at the end of town. I love how they're open late (til 5.) 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)

This is certainly subjective but in terms of coffee offering I don't think there's a better spot in…read morethe Capital region. Coffee was excellent with quick and informative service. The space is sizable with a good number of seating options. A little basic but entirely fine. There may be better spots to relax for longer periods of time but in terms of coffee I can't think of any better.

I heard great things about story and soil coffee in Hartford. So I was very excited to try it !…read moreThey had Dj going on Saturday morning right outside the shop which was fun , they had some outdoor seating and seating inside which was very nice ! And very importantly they are dog friendly! And it was so fun to see some of the dogs in the shop So I was already excited to be here , along with many other people , so I had very high expectations and all the vibes were good ! They offer lots of fresh coffee options , and they had some seasonal specialty drinks And in the season of October and pumpkin spice I decided to try the pumpkin spice latte iced ! They staff was great esp for being super busy they did a fabulous job ... Now the only bad thing was my drink .. unfortunately I did not like it ( and I have tried my fair share of pumpkin spice lattes and this was by the far the worst I've had ) The spice/ flavouring to coffee ratio was very off ! it tasted like I just had a spoonful of pumpkin spice seasoning mixed with some water and a splash of coffee . So I feel sad that the drink I got was terrible so maybe in the future I will try the regular coffee options instead of the speciality drinks which for me is unfortunate since I am a speciality drink lover and I love to try different flavours

It is a very small coffee shop with extra seating in a bigger room that is from the brewery, not a cozy area to do work in though.

I had an iced coconut latte with a lime curd cold foam, and got my sister an iced bourbon vanilla oat milk latte, my niece an iced vanilla matcha latte with cold foam, and my mom a regular hot coffee. My sister liked her latte, my niece didn't comment on hers but drank it so I'm assuming she liked it. My latte was good, though it lacked the lime flavor in the cold foam. I also got the smoked maple corn muffin which was a little dry but the smoky maple flavor was good. I would like to come back for the brewery!
