I first tried this coffee at a friend's and was instantly blown away. Its rich, smooth and delicious. I have had coffee shipped out of state and now enjoy this amazing coffee in my home. It's a cup of coffee that makes you want to take time and enjoy. #greatcoffee

Can’t say enough about how perfect this place is. The atmosphere, the staff, the service, the product and the story all make you glad to spend your money there. We moved from CT to VT and get their whole beans shipped to our new place. The shipping time is the fastest I’ve ever experienced, extremely affordable, and they always package the bags nicely to prevent damage. High quality beans that can be traced back through one family from sprout to cup. It doesn’t get more “fair trade” than this. We’ll be customers for life. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to your craft—it shines in every aspect of your mission. Much love!

Yesterday, I finally tried Cafe Real for the first time and I regret not coming here sooner! From the exceptional service to the rich and flavorful coffee, everything about this place exceeded my expectations. The quality of the coffee is truly outstanding; with each sip, I could taste the subtle nuances and notes that make this coffee truly special. I highly recommend Cafe Real to anyone who appreciates high-quality coffee. Once you've tasted their brew, it's hard to settle for anything less, even from popular chains like Dunkin or Starbucks.

Just discovered the place today, met up with some friends. My cappuccino was so outstanding I had another! The atmosphere was so inviting you felt comfortable from the get go. Marcus was a lot of fun along with the owner Eduardo and his wife. There is a lovely deck overlooking a scenic view with a little river. My friends and I set up a date to meet again. We enjoyed our time there immensely! ~From Carol

Edwardo and his family have a great little, very active place! Got to have a great chat with Edwardo about his business and philosophy about coffee! Very much enjoyed our conversation! Also met his wife and children, who all work there too. Seems like a very nice family and a great coffee shop too!

This little place DOES NOT DISAPPOINT! The atmosphere is quiet and humbly decorated with their Colombian culture. They have a few different coffee brewing options, which they explain in detail making the experience exciting and authentic. The coffee is just so rich and smooth, that’s incredibly satisfying. There also is a variety of freshly made waffle combinations that is a MUST TRY, my favorite is the Nutella Waffle; breakfast sandwiches and pastries. They also offer handmade items and locally made chocolates, cookies, hot chocolate bombs, and honey. It’s a place to put on you list to visit!

My all-time favorite place for a latte - so delicious 😋- head and shoulders above any other latte I've had (and I've had many!). The espresso was deeply flavorful and the foam was fine and creamy - so yummy! I knew of Cafe Real for a while before I went in after trying a regular coffee of theirs sold at another local eaterie (10 Main) and found it noticeably better. Well worth it!

First time & can’t wait to come back!! This was an experience. The gentleman was so friendly, gave the story of the beans, etc., which was very informative. Our drinks were perfect & the food was impeccable. As you can see, our churro waffles look like a pic from Bon Appetite magazine!! The young woman who made them & brought them to us was also very friendly! A hidden gem in downtown Bristol. Go & get happy!!

Was looking for a new coffee place, and this place did not disappoint! The coffee was amazing, and the owner was very welcoming and personable. It was the best Affogado I’ve ever had! Will definitely be coming back!

I got a couple of cinnamon twists and a hot caramel latte, and they were both amazing! I'd take a picture, but neither the latte or the cinnamon twists lasted more than a few mins! They had a good selection of flavors for the coffee (all of them sounded delicious), and the cinnamon twists were still warm! Also, the people that work there are friendly. I've been meaning to stop in for a long time now, and I'm so glad I did. I know where my new Saturday coffee spot is. F Dunkin'!! On another note, they sell some other things too, and I picked up a cute pair of coffee earrings! As a coffee/earring lover, they def spoke to me. Only $6 with tax!

Best coffee I ever had , a nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Coffee beans come from a family plantation in Colombia 🇨🇴 South America, where special care is given to grow quality gourmet beans that have a rich but smooth character.

Found this place randomly today. Such a treasure. Ordered salted caramel cold brew, a sausage egg and cheese croissant, and macaroons. Everything was delicious. The service was so fast, and nice. Everything was impeccably clean, everyone was friendly and great atmosphere. Can't recommend it enough. Definitely coming back a lot in the future.
