The baristas really know what they are doing! They never scald my oatmilk (aka the vegan lattes are just as creamy as the milk ones) and their specials are amazing 😍 food is also yummy
They brew the tastiest drip in town, they pull the best espresso, they serve it with a smile, and they love their community. If I’m feeling up or down- I’m always met with positivity and an excellent cup of coffee. I cannot stress it enough- this place is THE BEST.
I read about this place online and decided to give it a try. On a Wednesday morning I was greeted by a genuine and friendly staff. The true test of any coffee shop is their drip, served black. I was blown away by how good the coffee was. Light roast beans from Ethiopia, brewed to the perfect strength, served piping hot. The room itself is quite small, so you'll get to know your neighbors. I can see it being crowded on a weekend. I travel quite a bit for my work and finding good coffee is always a challenge. Story & Soil exceeded expectations. I'll be back!
Love. Parking was surprisingly easy. Spanish latte was great. Barista didn't over pull the espresso shots and the foam wasn't burned, while still creating a nice and hot drink. Wish there was sitting room but covid lol. Can't wait to go back!
We have stopped in here a couple of times on the way to and from New York City. It is a tiny place but very friendly. Coffee is great. Everyone is friendly. Coffee beans are for sale along with other coffee-related products. It is located just off I-84 so makes it easy to stop in here if you are "on-the-road". Great alternative to Starbucks!
It's great to see a third-wave coffee shop to come to Hartford. The drip coffee was excellent and really highlighted the nuance of this modern style. Our cups were bright and fruity. We also enjoyed the "Golden Milk Latte". It was well spiced and decadent. You must give it a shot!
Top notch coffee and that's it. Don't go looking for fancy syrups or fresh baked pastries you won't get fluffy frozen drinks or smoothies of all flavors, this is coffee, just coffee and they take it seriously and breakfast it well. Small place with limited indoor seating (laptop friendly) and a good amount of outdoor seating on picnic benches.
If you want the best coffee in Hartford this is the place. Blue State isn't as good. It's not very easy to get to or find parking. It has almost no seating. It's pretty cramped. The coffee makes all of that worth it.
A great coffee shop in the heart of Hartford. I'm glad to have been introduced to this hole in the wall coffee shop as it has fantastic coffee. Prices are that of a high end coffee shop, but there is barely any seating. So although their mugs make you feel at home, and their coffee is great, you might not get a chair to sit in!

Friendly people. Really well made drinks. And you know when the bathroom wallpaper looks like this it’s a quality place.
