J.René Coffee Roasters, LLC

The place catches your attention from the outside and inside is even better. The staff is friendly and the prices are good. The coffee and pastries are to die for, I highly recommend !!

Probably the best coffee in town, in a cool clean environment. My only critique is that it can be expensive. Think $7 for two 16oz coffees. However, the flavor and attention to quality and detail make it worth it. They used to have these excellent GIANT biscotti, but I haven't seen them lately. Food offerings have all been great!

Excellent coffee, chill atmosphere, good ambient music, friendly and helpful staff. Love coming here weekend mornings and kicking back with a good book. They should really relax the dress code though; having every barista wear business casual doesn't quite fit the coffee shop vibe.

The coffee here is fantastic. I've been buying their 12-oz bags of coffee and have had them grind it for my French press. Comparing it to a similar coffee that I'd been buying at Starbucks is just not a fair comparison. The J Rene coffee is incredibly smooth and flavorful. It just takes one sip to spoil you. I've had espresso in the store, and it's equally good - much better than most espresso that I've had.The coffee is expensive - their 12-oz bags of coffee are more expensive than Starbucks 16-oz bags, but, it is a lot better. The only downside, at least for me, is their hoursl They close daily at 6pm (3pm on Sunday).

Coffee is amazing with such great variety. The owner and his wife are really nice. They will sit down and chat with you and discuss coffee and how to brew certain roasts. My boyfriend and I have learned a lot from them and buy their coffee any time we go by there. I always recommend this place to anyone in the area.

Espresso done right. Their space is clean, free of clutter, and they roast and brew great coffee. With stellar attention and technique they brew excellent espresso drinks. A bit expensive for a daily habit so I bought a good grinder and learned to brew at home with their beans. Great stuff!

I had an awkward interaction with the owner a few months back when she refused to make my boyfriend a hot chocolate (literally just a mocha without the espresso). I decided to come back owing to the decent coffee and proximity to my house, only to discover that there is not a single outlet for customer use. I sat down, chugged my cappuccino, then drove somewhere else with outlets to get my work done. Just two very awkward experiences that show this business has little value for their customers.

Two stars for the decent coffee.

Try Hartford Baking Company, Sarah's, or Blue State for comparable coffee and exemplary customer service and ambience

A quiet, local coffee house that roasts its own beans. I don't know much about coffee, but it's a nice spot, quiet and has served me well as a meeting spot. Not much other than coffee or tea and a few light snack items. Parking is a touch limited, but depending on the time you go, it usually isn't a problem. A nice, local alternative to Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks and Panera.

Very good, extremely fair prices. Great muffins

Great atmosphere and nice staff. If you are into coffee equipment for pour over, they have you handled. Nice roaster and afterburner setup. I had the Nitro Cold Brew which was different than I've had previously (or brewered myself), which was cool.
