“I luuuuvvvv this place. They have monthly specials (check their instagram) that are illustrated on a chalkboard near the counter. Their service is fast and you can order ahead on their website if you're in a hurry. However I recommend hanging out to absorb the vibes. I love all the paintings on the wall and the secret-eyeball-tree sculpture reminds me of something out of Meowolf. Plus the baristas are friendly and always ready to recommend a drink or new flavor in stock. It's also the only coffee shop whose merch I constantly drool over, just so fun and tongue in cheek. Try the matcha, you won't be sorry!“
“I ordered a 6in cake from Sweet Harmony for my son's first birthday. We went with the fresh fruit/whipped cream cake and it was absolutely delicious--pillowy soft sponge, yummy berries and light frosting. The whole thing was beautifully decorated and customised to our theme. Will definitely be ordering again from Sweet Harmony. Thank you, ladies!“
“Amazing coffee options, great vibe, many milk options(and in general, very accommodating to dietary restrictions). Only knocking a star off because the worker was not very informative and it looked like I was bothering him just by being there. Not too welcoming but I am sure thats not a good representation of their service. Will be back! Loved the Cloud 9 and some other coffee drink. Dream something. Soo good.Dietary restrictions: Great milk alternatives“
“Had a great cup of coffee and a chocolate chip scone, something I was dreaming of all week to try at Perk. It was perfect! The scone was fresh and absolutely delicious! The atmosphere there was cozy but roomy and had a great vibe to it - Will definitely visit “
“Story & Soil Coffee Shop is located inside the Wesleyan RJ Julia Bookstore. It's good to know that there are other bookstore and coffee shop partners other than Barnes & Noble and Starbucks. This is an independent bookstore and coffee shop. Right when you walk inside, you'll notice the coffee shop. They have places where you can sit throughout the store. I'll be reviewing the bookstore separately another time.There was an ad for the pistachio latte, with orange blossom cold foam. That had to be what I was getting. This was an expensive latte, it was $7.00 for a small. This was a special treat type of a latte for sure. The pistachio flavor in this latte was better than some pistachio ice creams I've had. Then the orange blossom on top, the combo of the two flavors was a bit too sweet for me. It felt like I was having ice cream rather than coffee. This was very tasty! At Story & Soil they use Giv coffee beans, the best in Connecticut. So you know they're going to craft a great coffee.“
“I was pleasantly surprised to find such a spot for light snacking and entertainment on the Middletown strip. I believe Back Again Cafe proves itself to be a great central hub location to meet friends, dates, and family for great snacks, drinks, and games! My friends and I like to meet to play MTG. Friendly and helpful staff, and a terrific space with high ceilings and large windows for people watching.“
