Crema's Take

Tucked away in a small Glastonbury complex, Alvarium is a roastery-café hybrid where you can taste the difference of their own roasted beans in meticulously crafted drinks like "The Elvis"—a mocha-peanut butter-banana creation that regulars genuinely rave about. The intimate, laptop-friendly space draws a loyal crowd who appreciate both the morning espresso precision and house-made syrups that turn each visit into something special, plus there's a brewery in back if you're looking to extend your stay.

Really can’t say enough good things about this place. Local business with local coffee and a brewery in the back. Staff is really enjoyable and friendly (even at 7am, when we’re all grumpy looking for our morning fix) If you’re local or just in town skip the corpo crap and check this place out you and your caffeine jitters will thank you !

Overall, decent option for a quick coffee. It's a very small shop and tucked away in an odd set of neighboring small business buildings. Not a ton of options for food, but the core coffee options are all present.

This hidden gem is the perfect cozy spot to grab a nice iced chai or dark roast. I highly recommend trying "The Elvis". Perfect blend of mocha, peanut butter and banana cold foam!

Absolutely love Alvarium's coffee and the fact that they roast their own beans too. I usually get their iced latte's with no flavoring, but have had friends who get their fun drinks and really enjoy them. It's a great spot to grab a coffee and sit outside for a little in the spring/summer time. Their staff is friendly and love that they expanded their inside a little bit for some seating too.

Bourbon vanilla bean hot coffee and a maple syrup coffee with a pumpkin walnut muffin 🤤. Each coffee definitely has their own unique flavor notes along with their house made syrups. Couldn’t resist a chocolate chip cookie with sea salt 😯. The ambiance is very chill and aid back with access to the bar (when open) AND is dog friendly 🐶 I got a blend of two coffees with a flavor syrup, so the flavors were a bit everywhere on my palate. Next time I will try no flavor syrups to get the full coffee flavor
