Hartford Baking Co.

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.

I got the tomato basil soup and grilled cheese for takeout. Best tomato soup to ever set foot in my mouth. The grilled cheese was fire too. The sourdough has such good flavor. Also loved the chocolate chip cookie, junk bar, and raspberry crumb cake.

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!

Awesome place to work! Plus the food and drinks are amazing. Matcha is my go-to but my goal is to try the entire menu. So far so good! They also do a great job of avoiding plastic when possible. The word is out so expect crowds on weekends.

My go to place for a good latte in West Hartford. Any bakery item is a 10/10 - especially their bread!
The upstairs is a great place to work remotely, though it does get packed in the mornings!

Nice coffee shop in the heart of West Hartford center. Coffee and tea was perfect and raspberry treat was delicious. The people were very friendly, despite it being a 'Karen' destination.

Amazing atmosphere. Amazing pastries. Amazing lattes. Amazing staff. Amazing tomato soup. I love coming and spending hours here anytime I come home. It’s located very conveniently in WEHA center. It is very cozy and the seating on the second floor is very open and clean. The different foods and lattes are also full of flavor and are so fresh.

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.

Really great play to get breakfast. All of the staff is really nice. They serve Giv coffee which is amazing. Baked goods are amazing. Definitely worth checking out.

First trip today with a friend after a run around Weha. Had a bacon egg and cheese sandwich and it was so delicious I bought a second to bring home for my husband because I felt bad he didn't get to experience it. Lots of options for foods and snacks and desserts. We will definitely be going back

Very large bakery with plenty of space to meet people and a great view over the main drag. A few gluten free options but mainly a traditional bakery and coffee spot. The staff is nice and the Expresso was good.

Had tea
It was yummy
Their pretzel looks amazing but we didn't have it

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Super cute & really friendly! I had the southwest turkey with a million customizations & they didn’t even bat an eye!! everything was beyond fresh & so tasty!!

We walk down here all the time now, and everything has been delicious. The giant pretzel is great, and the Parker House rolls are really really good. It's all good!

Delicious! They were so conscious of allergies and they made something dairy and nut free that was so good and didn’t compromise on taste. It’s hard to find places that will not only make food accessible, but also still taste great.

I was visiting family last weekend, and my sister-in-law told me about this bakery. I must say I was not disappointed. I had breakfast, bought some bread, cake and a pretzel. I tried to get everything sight. The you g lady who waited on me happened to be the GM. Very nice and the place is very quaint.

Pretty much everything they make is outstanding. WH Center location can get busy. I felt extra good eating my Rainbow cookie. A dollar of the $2.75 cost was donated to Out Ct.

Nice place with baked bread. Dissent espresso coffee.
Not so muck choice for kids

This is probably my favorite spot to go to for low-key meetings. I love the upstairs and the ability to look over the W. Hartford Center in Farmington Avenue. Quite frankly, I think it might be the most underrated view in town.
People always blown away every single time I suggest to have a meeting there and they go upstairs and see exactly what I’m talking about
Now, as for food, I love the Bangkok tea and I am also really enjoying the Caesar salad and their banana nut chocolate chip muffin is next level. Make sure you ask them to warm it up on that griddle.

This is my #2 coffee spot in CT. You can't go wrong with HBC on Farmington. Get the Eggwich. It's worth it. Parking is tricky but don't let that stop you.

Oh and wait the 5 minutes for a pour over coffee. Once upon a time ago, that's where I learned about coffee.
