Glastonbury Coffee Shop

My kids are obsessed with this place. The pancakes are enormous and delicious, the service is excellent, and they have great prices! Thanks for being a community staple for so long!

This is a very local spot, barely visible from the nearby streets. The property is working through some updates to store fronts so the sign has not yet been installed. For now, you will need to be looking for it on purpose. Been coming here for years with my son and solo occasionally before my workday. The coffee is fresh, hot and refilled quickly. The food is deftly prepared, served hot, and satisfying. The servers are hospitable and attentive. Regular customers are remembered by name and welcomed as friends. It is a community gathering spot. I've seen entire high school sports teams descend on the place after their practices and families happily rearranging tables to accommodate their group. Get there at the right time and you'll see third shift folks grabbing a meal on their way home. Crew chiefs pop in to supply their workers with breakfast sandwiches and coffees. That's the vibe of the place. The business is cash only so be prepared for that. There is a nearby ATM if needed. It's a good place, the kind of place you mention when talking about your home town.

We ordered 2 omlettes with hash browns and toast. The guy says it will be ready in 7-8 mins. Thats the first red flag. How can food that quick not be subpar? We get there, in sleet and snow, and told it’s cash or Venmo only. Why? It’s almost 2026 and the buisness model is not resembling of the fifties like Shady Glen. This wasn’t a good experience. Now to the food- in the omelette was a whole sausage, not even cut up, just wrapped up in a thin letter of egg resembling more of a crepe instead. The vegetables resembled much like frozen peppers and onions, you know the bag you can get at Walmart and has that texture and color of it too. No taste or seasoning to the omelette. The toast was barely toasted. Now I get why the 7-8 mins. Will never be back, and I’m quite surprised this lackluster care and attention is served in Glastonbury. Oh and our bill came $10 higher than the menu prices and without a receipt so no explanation as to why.

Let’s start with the staff: I was greeted with a smile and the young lady was beyond kind and sweet listened to everything I had to say ( dietary restrictions) she double checked everything!! Awesome: now the food just adds them to the next level, it was made hot fresh and quick! The home fries are to die for!! Highly recommend them!

FYI, this place is cash only. Outdated decor, BUT fabulous service and food. I got my order within minutes! Scrambled eggs and rye toast were great. Coffee was a 3 out of 5. I had wanted pancakes but they don't offer real maple syrup. I didn't tell the waitress that I needed to leave for an appointment in 20 minutes, so when I got my order so quickly it was wonderful! Everyone working there was in a great mood and had good eye contact. I could tell there were some regulars eating at the counter and there was a nice banter with them and the 2 guys behind the counter. Not 100% perfect, but I give it 5 stars for the great experience and good food.
