J.René Coffee Roasters, LLC

Cute coffee shop with really nice house roasted beans! We bought beans to take home and have been enjoying those as well. They also have a coffee trailer and do private and public events. We loved having them out for our private event.

Full body delicious coffee. Cozy chic spot, tasty food offerings. Warm and friendly staff. Wonderful place to start your day!

This was my first time at this establishment and let's just say it will not be my last time. It's a very clean place, staff is extremely friendly and very helpful. The staff works as a team and is very quick with explaining the menu or helping with an order. I was super impressed. The French vanilla iced latte was delicious and so was my breakfast sandwich. The waffle was freshly made, that first bite with the avocado was to die for!! I just needed a little more on the sandwich, because I absolutely LOVE avocado.

The space is a minimalists dream come true. Ample seating arranged primarily to foster community and collaboration, this ideal reiterated by lack of wi-if in the shop. If you’re looking to hunker down and do some online work... this may not be the mobile office space you desire.
The owners wanted to create a space for people to gather and connect to one another rather than with a screen. Their heart for the community beats through the space they’ve created as well as the coffee they roast.
Ethically sourced beans are roasted in house by J.Rene himself, who I had the pleasure of meeting my first time in.
Their direct menu highlights the wonderful coffee they roast, featuring unique brewing methods like a siphon pot.
J.Rene is a worthy coffee roaster in Hartford, stop in, choose a bean, a brewing method, and prepare to disconnect to reconnect. Happy sipping!

This is where to go to see the science of great coffee. The perfection of minimalism, might be a good way to describe it. There isn't a lot on the menu, there's not a vast selection of whole bean coffee but, what they offer they do very well.
As I walked in the first thing I noticed was the music, which was some funky jazz like The Budos Band, The Bamboos etc. Then I saw the roasters in the front corner, they actually roast their own beans. You can't find fresher coffee than that.
I had ordered a Honduran coffee brewed with the siphon pot. It is definitely worth it, this method brings out all the subtle notes that normal brewing just doesn't provide. Plus, it is interesting to see it being brewed as well. My girlfriend got a total of two lattes which tasted exactly the same. They seemingly have perfected consistency.

Really great really tasty coffee but you guys need to work on your portions and put a little less ice in your cold brew coffee. Comes off as a little skimpy. If both sizes of cappuccino have the same amount of espresso in it why is there a price difference?

Phenomenal coffee and great staff. Menu was superb and the freshly roasted coffee tastes amazing.

If you're looking for a delicious cup of coffee in a great atmosphere, this is your place. They make the coffee right in front of you and even roast the coffee in house. Try their espresso!

Love this roaster not only for a very good cup of coffee but a very pleasant experience! Very clean. Nice staff.

Best coffee in Connecticut. They really take pride and show their passion in coffee roasting and brewing. They take the same approach to serving their customers.
