An absolute gem. If you love coffee qua coffee, this is one of the best spots in the area - it's a great place to explore and learn, always stocking a slew of diverse beans from partner roasters around New England. The tea list is well curated, and the signature seasonal drinks are creative as they are delicious. If you have some time to wait, their breakfast burritos, sandwiches, etc. are genuinely tasty.
It’s such a cute little coffee shop with great vibes! The teas and coffees are really unique and the avocado toast.. they don’t hold back on the avocado !! We left there with full stomachs and warm smiles :)
Long wait, yummy food and tea. Definitely defintely get the lox bagel if youre into that kind of thing because it was divine. Also don't stop in if youre socially conservative because this isnt the place for you. A sign in the building read "Octobers villians: Christopher Columbus and Brett Kavanaugh. We believe her." Personally though, I thought the sign was sick and made me love Story and Soil that much more. The decor was also gorgeous and super classy.
Honestly this place has gone downhill. No more vegan pastries and the baristas aren't as skilled as they were when I was visiting over the fall/last summer. When you spend $7 on an oat latte you kind of want it to be well made. Mine was piping hot, and not nearly close to the x-tra fry I asked for. Tasted less like espresso and more like a cup of hot milk. Nobody asked if it was for here or to go and i was disappointed that my drink was served in a paper cup. It's a bummer because i desperately want a great craft espresso bar to be able to visit as a third place, but i would have been happier making an cafe au lait at home.
Came here based on the good reviews when we were passing through on a road trip. Ordered a cappuccino and the barista measured the espresso on a scale before making it which was impressive and showed how much he cared. The cappuccino also turned out fantastic with perfectly balanced and rich flavors. Decor also very cute!
Drove all the way here (25 mins) on Labor Day and I was excited to treat myself to a coffee here for the first time. I even checked their instagram to make sure they were open, which said they were open until 4. It was 3:10 and the doors were locked. Really disappointing. :(

Very cool atmosphere in an up and coming part of hartford. Got the coconut honey lavender latte, delicious!

Amazing coffee spot. Don't miss out on the bacon, egg, and cheese that is made with love!

This was my first time here and I chose to get a breakfast burrito. It was delicious. I will definitely be back to try other things.
