Cafe Busy Bean (Berlin),

355 Main Street, Berlin, CT 06037

"I don't drink coffee. I love a great coffee spot to meet up with friends or catch up on some writing. This location is perfect for a spot to sit down and chat. It's small so just right for two. We visited in the afternoon so I can't comment on the texture of the bagels that they advertised hardly but they look like a local favorite. We enjoyed their house made tea and juice blends from the cooler section. Left with slices of cheesecake and carrot cake too! Elegant jazz selections and sophisticated art choices complete the atmosphere."

"I wish we lived near here. Cute coffeeshop vibes with warm lights, delicious food, soft music, and intimate seating. I'm making sure to come here each time I'm in the area. We got the cardamom mocha latte, a pecan chocolate tart, and the cappuccino. Cannot recommend enough."

"Wifey grabbed us coffee from here yesterday. I had a regular coffee that was satisfactory, while she had a Maple Vanilla Breve that was good. Perhaps next time I will expand my horizons and get a little more creative/adventurous when making my selection... The staff was friendly, and the place was nice. Update: I went here again and as previously stated, I did get a little more adventurous and ordered a couple of Salted Caramel flavored coffees. Mine was black and I got cream in the wife's coffee. Both were very good, and we were happy with the purchase. Again, the staff was friendly & courteous. They have lots of choices for items to eat; Cheesecake, Macaroons, Kind Bars, Honey Cake (whatever that is - Looks like it may be worth a try), Nature Valley granola bars, and more... Overall, this place is nice, but does get a little busy, which isn't an issue since they are well staffed with a staff that works hard to keep the foot traffic flowing nicely..."

"I’m incredibly happy I came across this wonderful cafe! I was looking for a place to eat and study while I was on my way to New Haven and this cafe did not disappoint. They have wonderful choices in crepe combinations, so there’s bound to be something for everyone. They have pastries as well as coffee to go along with them. Give it a go!"

"I absolutely love this cafe! I first came here with my sister after hiking Ragged Mountain and I have been back almost every weekend since and everything I've had has been delicious. The staff are also very kind and helpful! There's also good wifi and plenty of electrical outlets if you're looking to settle in and get some work done. Or cozy up on some of the comfy chairs and read for a bit. The first time I went I ordered a crepe with raspberries and biscoff cookie butter. It was amazing! The raspberries were fresh and the cookie butter was warm and gooey, wrapped in a crepe that was perfectly cooked with a buttery brown crisp outside. The crepes are huge so definitely order one and split it if you're with a friend (or come hungry and enjoy the whole thing!) I also got a spiced cardamom latte which had a nice aromatic flavor. I've also tried the hot chai, the carrot cake, the pistachio cake, and the oreo cheesecake and they are all good as well. But I would definitely recommend the crepes the most, they're the best!"
