Sugar and Bean

Crema's Take

“This Hartford spot serves up homemade cakes and pastries that clearly win hearts, though the espresso drinks need some refinement—reviewers note the Americanos tend toward the watery side even when customized. It's a cozy place to grab a sweet treat and coffee with friends, best appreciated for its baked goods rather than as a destination for carefully pulled shots. At six dollars a cup, you're paying a bit of a premium, so come for the delicious cakes that locals love to recommend, not necessarily for precision espresso work.”
