Crema's Take

This West Hartford bakery earns serious loyalty for their standout baked goods, especially the cranberry orange scones that reviewers call the best they've ever had. The staff genuinely cares—they're known for going above and beyond with warmth and efficiency even during the morning rush—though the pastry quality can be inconsistent and prices run a bit high. It's a solid neighborhood spot for grabbing coffee and breakfast with your family, best visited for their in-house baked specialties rather than sandwiches.

Great service, but the eats are quite a let down. The almond croissant and margherita flatbread tasted stale and a little tough. The options are pretty limited. Some cookie options, a few different croissants, coffee cake, and two flatbreads. Considering this is a bakery and not a cafe that also happens to served baked goods, I expected more options and better quality. Out of all the items, only two were savory. The rest was sweet. The coffee was fine though. I went on a Saturday afternoon, so maybe they had more baked goods to choose from earlier in the day. The service was great, though! Very friendly. If your visiting the area and want a snack, you might be disappointed here.

As someone who is not from West Hartford, HBC will definitely be on my recommendation list. The staff is so friendly, especially Tom who sent me and my family off with a sourdough loaf after my first visit (which I tried and was amazing) and a box of pastries the next day after having breakfast there. The food was great and the pastries were amazing!! 10/10

I absolutely love Hartford Baking Company. While everything here is high quality, I have to give a special shout-out to the cranberry orange scones, they are honestly the best I've ever had! Perfect texture and flavor. They pair perfectly with their hot drinks, which are always delicious. If you're looking for a cozy spot for a treat in the morning, this is the place in West Hartford for sure.

Very solid bakery and breakfast spot! I got a latte and the E-BAT sandwich, both of which are really tasty. Only complaint is that it's a bit expensive, but that is hardly the fault of anyone in the building. I've also gotten the Miche loaf in the last and it was very good! I will definitely return here for a local spot with very solid goods and friendly & welcoming employees!

This bakery is a staple in the Hartford area, offering some of the city's best baked goods. They have a delectable variety of breakfast and lunch items. Even on their busiest days, they are fast, efficient, and consistent, without any compromise on food quality. Highly recommend this place—it won't break the bank.
