The Coffee Trade
21 W Main St, West Hartford, CT
Crema's Take
“Stepping into The Coffee Trade feels like entering a cozy hobbit hole filled with warmth and wonder—a West Hartford institution since 1985 that roasts its own beans and stocks an impressive 80 varieties alongside curated antiques and unexpected treasures. The passionate staff crafts everything from espresso-focused drinks to carefully executed pour overs, all complemented by excellent pastries and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere that keeps customers coming back. It's the kind of place where you arrive planning a quick coffee run and end up lingering for hours, surrounded by the aroma of roasting beans and the charm of a space that clearly cares about both craft and community.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, good cold brew. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Parking available.
