J. René Coffee Roasters

Easily the best coffee in the Hartford area. The baristas are very knowledgeable on their coffee . Nice "lab" they have to create great stuff. Not pretentious at all, but very friendly .

That this place could be ranked below Starbucks is absolutely mind boggling. Amazing, knowledgeable baristas and top-notch coffee roasted in-house with a breadth of brewing options available.

Excellent ppl here! Had minor issue the last time here and today owner came up 2 me w/o me saying anything and apologized for the inconvenience last time. Very nice. Ty! :) Guaranteed customer now.

Simple, clean , polished atmosphere. Kind, professional and efficient staff . Not much for munchies when I visited, but the iced mocha was divine. Real, quality coffee .

The BEST Coffee Shop in Hartford. Excellent Barista Made Coffee ! And coffee brews by different methods. Excellent service . Fine pastries . Great different types of Coffee for sale at the coffee shop .

Coffee and biscotti was excellent! Only thing I would change is the LCD TV over the counter. It looks cheesy. I would replace with a chalkboard for that cafe vibe.

The pastries are were all gluten free but somehow still delicious. Try the chocolate/nut dipped pear...seriously perfect. Great drinks. Great atmosphere. Classy staff . A+++

Solid cold brew . It's not a cafe for computer work, it's the kind of place to have a conversation or catch up on a good book .

Great coffee , friendly staff . But not very laptop friendly . No wifi , no power. Very crowded on weekends.

a coffee house gem - really friendly staff and delicious coffee for enjoying at j rene or at home. Love the cold brew .

Take your time and sit and relax. The coffee is excellent and the atmosphere is great. Simple. Classy . The staff is great too!

Cool shop; the siphon method looks beautiful and tastes if you want to try something out of the ordinary; worth the slightly excessive price

Friendly staff with good knowledge but confusion over what coffee was available in what preparation. Live music a welcome touch.

Vegan snacks !!!!!! Great coffee . A LOT of pretentious hipsters about....but I guess that is a given in any great coffee shop .

Cold brew is tasty on a hot day. Very bright - nice sunny windows. Clean , comfy , quiet .

Knowledgeable staff , great bean menu and 3 brewing options !

espresso was a little gritty. marginally better than starbucks. :/

Great service coffee not too hot hot enough friendly crew !

One of my favs. Great decor too.

I'm a bit of a coffee snob and this is as good as it gets. Awesome coffee

Great local coffee house . Roasted on site.

Black Iced Americano so yummy

Really like the macchiato . If you like espresso I recommend it.

One of the best coffee places in all West Hartford!

We come often all the way from MA, because it is totally woth it!

Amazing cafe mocha

I don't even like iced coffee that much but I got iced coffee and it's sooooo good.

Don't let the shiny expensive coffee machines fool you...they don't make good coffee here.

The BEST COFFEE in Town ! Great Coffee made by Baristas. #Priceless

Fresh brewed by the carafe !

Everything is good

Awesome atmosphere!! And great coffee .

It's all about the fresh beans ..

Coffee is good, no denying that. But the environment and staff are so snooty, it ruins the experience. Expensive too.

The staff here is super-knowledgeable and helpful without being snooty.
