Hartford Baking Co. 965 Farmington Avenue, West Hartford, CT 06107

"Great local spot for breakfast sandwiches. Go to Hery and Allison for special twists on the EBAT sandwich. I got the Jam EBAT. If you’re looking for something sweet and and salty Hery can hook you up."

"My wife and I frequently stop in on Saturday mornings and enjoy a coffee and a snack. The staff is incredibly friendly and the coffee, soup, and bakery items have never disappointed. Dislikes - basically I’ll give this feedback to any establishment who has embraced the on-going trend of the POS terminal asking if I’d like to tip. I don’t think tipping is appropriate at all for a place that is purely counter service. A tip jar is fine, but when you flip around the screen and make me make the awkward decision to press “no tip” or give in and give and extra dollar or two… I just hate that pressure. I believe the prices at this establishment should be adequate to provide employees with a good wage. It’s not unique to this store, but the only way that as consumers we can try to push back against this trend is to give stores that embrace it the feedback. I wish I could only deduct a half star for this, but Google will only allow me to pick full stars. If it wasn’t for this is give a 5."

"I was really excited to go and get some awesome, fresh bread. I had also heard/read good things about the avocado toast. I was disappointed in almost everything - the olive bread was good but not really "just baked" quality. Everything was super overpriced - especially the latte I got, which was good, but not filled to the top. Overall disappointing, will probably not be back."

"Great place to get some breakfast and do some work. This place has a nice upstairs where you sit can overlook the center, or sit in the booths etc. They also finally fixed there Wifi too! I got the chocolate croissant which was delightful, but I will say it lacked most of the chocolate. Overall a nice place!"
