The Garage Dance Studio & Coffee Lounge
1385 East St, New Britain, CT
Crema's Take
“Tucked into an unexpectedly cool corner of New Britain, this spot merges specialty coffee craftsmanship with live dance energy, creating a genuinely unique vibe where you can linger over an expertly pulled espresso or silky matcha while watching dancers move through the studio. Taki's genuine passion shines through in every drink—from meticulously sourced seasonal creations to in-house chai—and regulars rave about how seen and welcomed they feel in this cozy, relaxed space. It's the kind of place where the details matter, from the coffee itself to the thoughtful touches that make you smile.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings.
