Best coffee roaster around
Really nice place for coffee..brewed and whole bean..rosted right in front of you..the people are great..friendly..well worth a trip.
If you like your coffee to taste more like smoke than coffee this is the spot for you. The coconut cold brew iced coffee doesn’t have any flavor in it other than Smokey. Comes in a hot coffee cup for an iced option. Honestly disappointed I spent 4$ on the iced coffee. Not good at all.
Oh I love this place!! The owners are amazing and so are their staff!! Let's not forget the coffee!!! Beans are roasted in house!! I love cream and sugar but often I get it black here to enjoy the rich flavors of the different coffees!! This is my forever coffee spot!
The staff knows you by name, and are sweet as pie. I love looking at all the antiques for sale creatively decorated around the store. They have a wide variety of Harney and Sons teas too, along with coffee and tea accessories. This is my favorite place to go for coffee (and a little secret.......I actually work at Starbucks....and the staff know this) . Nothing beats the smell of the freshly roasted coffee beans on a cold winter morning. There's a gigantic coffee roaster in the Cafe, and it's fun to watch when they're roasting coffee ☕.
This place is overwhelming… in a good way. When you walk in, you’re introduced to a slew of things covering wall to wall of Knick Knacks, Trinkets, coffee/tea tools, collectibles, and products. In the left corner literally at the entrance, you can occasionally bump into the coffee Roastmaster tending to the roaster. He wasn’t present at the time during my visit, but many have told me that he is someone you’d want to meet to get an idea of how their whole system works. My understanding of the process: Coffee beans are roasted daily with different varieties. There’s actually a chart of the available single origin and blends on board in the rear right side of the shop. Take your time, there’s a lot of options. At the front counter, you will see across the top many flavorings that you’ve an add to your coffee, followed by a Daily special on a small white board on the right side. You cannot choose among the many blends to brew if you’re interested in ordering a drink of a particular blend, however you can sample the daily special upon request. I didn’t check this part, but you can actually make your way to the back of the shop where the antiques are displayed and you can sit in one of the tables to enjoy your drink. If you’re going to visit, I highly suggest you at least buy a bag of beans, (preferably whole bean in my opinion). Nothing else in town (as far as I’m aware) can get as fresh of coffee beans as buying one that was probably roasted a few hours ago. As an espresso enjoyer, the freshest is best albeit you might need to wait a week to let the beans off-gas a bit (they’re quite bitter if too much CO2). As a side note, there is a subscription service you can opt-in where you can get coffee picked up or mailed periodically, and it’s surprisingly a really good deal. Overall, it’s my new favorite place even though I’ve only been there twice. It’s not often I get a roastries this conveniently close to home, and I’ve lived along the entire east coast for over 2
Love this spot! Such friendly people and really nice coffee. Love the ambiance, it’s a very unique and welcoming shop.
Good service and good coffee.
Popped in after reading the great reviews. Unfortunately, the double shot cappuccinos we ordered arrived in gigantic 20 OZ (nearly 600ml) cups, filled nearly to the top, and tasted stale, bitter and / or burnt. We promptly disposed of them (wasting $11) and went across the road to Dom's for excellent artisan coffee. The shop is quaint and the Roastery leaves a pleasant aroma.
This shop is so cute and inviting! ...but more importantly, the coffee is fantastic! Everyone here is nice and helpful. Had a great experience getting a cup of coffee and buying some bags for later.
The coffee is just incredible! We collect coffee from lot of places and this is certainly one of the best we have tasted! really really good and the variety is mind blowing! the antique shop is such a treasure trove and transports you to the bygone eras! such a staggering display of the cutest things in a relatively small place! but most of all i’d say that the folks who own and run it are gems of human beings! such welcoming and awesome folks! it’s a must visit if you are in Avon or take a trip just for the coffee, some hiking and art around that area!
Warmly greeted, coffee order filled quickly
Love this place! And I don't even drink coffee. Be back soon!
Cute little coffee shop plus antique store. Coffee was good. No pastries in the display, a few packaged cookies, and for realz nothing gluten-free. Sad. They gave me a hot latte instead of iced, and I was too lazy to go back in when I noticed. Good coffee, though. Friendly folks.
Only place I buy my coffee beans -- even in the winter crossing the mountain from West Hartford. People are great, coffee excellent, experience often includes beans roasting right before your eyes. Can't resist any place with the blunt sign: "Be nice... or leave." Oh yeah.
Amazing Best cold brew I’ve ever had definitely looking forward to trying other stuff and going back. Very cozy atmosphere Place smell great . Very nice staff
I couldn't drink that coffee. Also there is a coffee roaster in the coffeeshop which looks cool but it seems like they are burning coffee there. It smells really burnt maybe that's why it tastes like that. The place itself is cute, they have a nice shop, just wish their coffee tasted better.
Amazing coffee and spectacular customer service. Highly recommend.
There are no words for this place. I think they roast the best coffee in the country. Not to mention everyone is so friendly! I’ve lived out of town for the past 10ish years and always make it a priority to get to the Coffee Trade as often as I can. Now that I’m moving back closer (Rocky Hill) I’ll be making the trip up far more often. I don’t care if gas is $7/gallon. I’m getting my graham cracker cold brew
I have told the owners multiple times that they can NEVER retire. I'm too addicted to their coffee.
