Stafford Coffee Company

BEST KEPT SECRET IN CONNECTICUT
I have been to hundreds of coffee shops in the USA and Europe, and this is one of the best on the eastern seaboard.

If you want cappuccino, espresso, or other coffee drinks that taste just like in Italy, this is the place!

If you are in or passing through New England, this shop is about 4 miles right off I-84 near the Massachusetts border.

You cannot go wrong with their selection of coffees, teas, baked goods and gluten free items, sandwiches, and breakfast.
This cozy shop on the main street is surrounded by shops, right on the pretty river, and even has art and poetry for sale. An absolute delite and worth the trip!

In Vernon, Rockville and Ellington, there is a bit of a drought of good coffee. This spot is sort of a hidden gem! The staff is friendly and the coffee is outstanding. This is a great place to work on homework too. They have delicious bagels and sandwiches, as well as a killer peanut butter cookie!

What a hidden Gem this place is. I was driving by this place and oh man, am I glad i stopped. Great tasting latte and super friendly staff. They even have a table over looking a park with a brook.

Awesome people, great food!

Great lattes & avocado toast. We love checking out the featured artwork before placing our orders. They currently don't offer indoor seating (thanks Covid) , but there's a park across the street with picnic tables or if you venture behind the building we found a random place to sit and watch the river flow by.

very good breakfast and lunch sandwiches, good waffles on weekend mornings. very polite and friendly staff, good value for money

Awesome!! Place.. small, cozy, friendly and great food. Wish it had a few more tables but I understand Covid threw everything off..

I got a cortado and an espresso. Awesome coffee and awesome staff. Probably my favorite coffee shop so far. The only bad thing is that it is so far from home.

We are always very happy stopping here for breakfast. Coffee and tea is great, can't go wrong with their sandwichs. We always sit in the little park area across the street at the picnic tables.

Love this place! Great community meeting place, good breakfast and lunch choices and baked goods are awesome. I am a tea drinker and I love the cinnamon plum tea. Rotating art on the walls also makes for an eclectic vibe.
