Reviews of Hartford Baking Co. (Bakery)

Loretta Waldman

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.

Lila Durán

This is the best customer service I've encountered, perhaps ever. Excellent employees! I asked for help to decide between two items and I am very satisfied with my order!!!! They even warmed up my cinnamon brioche at the perfect time to take it with me warm! The music was great and the feeling of the place was very cozy and welcoming. Upstairs is a perfect place to bring your laptop and work. I just wish I lived in Hartford to become a regular!

Sam Martin

Great coffee shop to work at. Sunny seating, good coffee, good avocado toast.

Sarah Reiner

Great breakfast spot. Delicious fresh breads and baked goods

Rayleen Tritt

We bought some ciabatta bread there today and had it with dinner. Delicious!!!!

Natalie Wasser

Great food, AMAZING fresh baked goods. I don't think there was one thing I wouldn't order!

Francesca DeRosa

Great coffee and hot chocolate. A little on the pricey side. They also sell breads, muffins, and all sorts of baked goods!

Lissie Brooks

I didn't actually eat here but the staff couldn't have been nicer! Will definitely be back!

Jessica Mooney

I was psyched to hear Hartford Baking was opening a WeHa center location, I think it's safe to say I've gotten my breakfast nearly every day (excluding weekends) since it opened.

Tom Freund

Nice homey, welcoming look.

Erica Perry

Very tasty, friendly staff

Good Coffee

My very first visit. Staff was very friendly. The Creamy Tomato soup was very yummy!! :-) I normally hate tomato soup but I thought I would give it a try. This soup was AMAZING!! It was very fresh, flavorful, creamy, and buttery. The fresh bread was AWESOME too. I definitely will be back for more and try new items on the menu!!

Really have always loved everything about HBCo but today I went for the Roasted Chicken Salad sandwich and in my first half I found not one, not two but THREE bones. Needless to say I'm not eating the other half. Stick to bread and bakery items perhaps?

Thom Young

A very generously proportioned egg and house ground sausage sandwich and iced tea made a great breakfast. The food is always very good here.

Betül Buyukikiz

Love their coffee.

Brian williams

Perfect mocha

Lisa

Pricey, but their baked goods are LEGIT.

ona liu

Great for for coffee and breakfast!

Aaron Frank

HBC is always great. Food, coffee, and service!

Ja Kr

There's a moderate selection of coffee here, but there's usually a wide variety of pastries and breads, and sandwiches are available, too. We found sometimes the pastries are a little bit dry, but the breads are excellent here. Staff is always friendly, just like at their other location.

Rosemary Lovelace

A large Paris tea and an Almond financier is my usual order. A defibite favorite. Lately the scones have been a tad bit over baked which is a disappointment if ya don't catch it before biting into the dry biscuit. I am not GF but it was nice to see they had a few options for people who are. Wait time for food in the back sometimes feels long but EVERYTHING is cooked to order. So the wait is for good reason. Baked goods are always yummy even of sometimes their baked are a tiny bit inconsistent between locations. I prefer the New Park location in Elmwood.

Roberto Scata

Really great freshly made bread and a great place to grab lunch.

Ken Z Liang

Love this place! Been looking for a bakery in West Hartford and this is the one. Bread is fresh, breakfast is good, and the coffee is great. Only feedback is that sometimes the menu options can be somewhat confusion online. i.e the "Roast Chicken Salad" is described as: Roasted and pulled whole chicken, avocado, ripe tomato, and romaine on ciabatta - which makes it seem like a pulled chicken sandwich, when actuality it is still a chicken salad sandwich. Nonetheless - great meals here, highly recommend.

Stephen Wong

Located downtown. Expect a line only one person handling register and getting your bakery goods. Confusion in getting drink orders. They lost a drink order in the process. Coffee is not bitter but for one cup took 10 mins to get order completed. Average bakery goods for what we ordered. Prices are in keeping with area. 2nd floor dining area was not well attended to by staff. Tables were not wiped down as patrons left tables. Self cleanup is expected with full garbage cans.

Ian Brite

Nothing special. Overpriced. Friendly ish staff.

Mathew Brauer

Great food and people

Omar Bayramoglu

One of the coolest places to study in Hartford/West Hartford. The workers there are pretty cool and friendly.

Ari S

Great place if you want to grab a sandwich or pastry. Great service

Abbi Carrier

Soooo good! Love the West Hartford location.

Casey Thurston

I can't wait to come back to Hartford to eat here again!

Frankie J

I give Hartford Baking Co. Located at 965 Farmington Ave, West Hartford, CT 06107 FIVE STARS. Hartford Baking Co. Is very inviting and with a delicious selection of freshly baked breads and treats. 5️⃣ ⭐

Khadijah Al Ahmad

Good food! Love thier sandwiches. A place to relax and work on your laptop or read a book. Excellent customer service.

Lyle Wray

Good turkey and bacon sandwich. Baked goods looked tasty

Rachael Coccia

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.

Michael Wagner

(Translated by Google) Small but very nice breakfast menu, super friendly staff !!! Absolute recommendation - the drive out of the center will be more than rewarded! Best regards from Germany ... (Original) Kleine aber sehr feine Frühstückskarte, super freundliches Personal!!! Absolute Empfehlung - die Fahrt raus aus dem Zentrum wird mehr als belohnt! Best regards from Germany...

Ethan Leach

I went here on Saturday evening with my wife. There was little to no wait. We ordered two small latte's and a cookie to eat in. Both latte's came out in a few minutes and were made well. I think the espresso drinks at this location are better and more consistent than those at the other location on New Park Ave. Also this location has a substantial amount of seating upstairs which is very nice. Other than having to pay for parking I prefer this location to the New Park Ave one.

Will Munck

Great coffee, the breakfast burrito is also terrific.

josh ritta

This place has outstanding baked goods, sandwiches, and coffee. It is really outstanding and definitely worth checking out.

PK Kass

Breakfast Burrito........whatttt!!!!!!

Tracy 005

My search is finally over!!!!! If you order the turkey sandwich...... this place uses real turkey not anything processed!

Amy James

Good bagels.

Anthony Nevico

Free WiFi and awesome sandwiches and baked goods

Ali Oshinskie

I love this place but they SERIOUSLY need to play something other than the early Beatles album. (and I don't mean play late Beatles) I know it's family-friendly and an easy choice but we need something mellow, ambient maybe, low-key and background-y. Love the chai!

Stephanie Oppon-Kuntu

Awsome bread

E L

I always appreciate local, cozy coffee shops like this one. It's a very nice place. However, perhaps the team could use an update... I asked if they could add some chai to my matcha latte... the girl who makes drinks said she couldn't. I pushed though and asked why? It's like she got a brain glitch... after she agreed to do that, charged me extra which I did not mind at all, and I ended up with a chai latte after all... the only thing that goes through my mind is "what the f***?!"... I mean, this isn't dunkin donuts but maybe some people who work here should downgrade to a place like dunkin if that's all the effort they can put in to satisfy a customer.

Christy Matthews

The upstairs is a great place to hang out and get work done.

K Holce

Great food and coffee. He loves the Fiancier (me too). I love the bacon, egg, and cheese on croissant (him too). We both love the coffee and the salted caramel lattes.

Rebecca Bliss Nelson

Fresh bread, delicious coffee (love the vanilla lattes personally), and friendly staff. They often have little samples of the breads and pastries out. Lost one star because it's just so incredibly noisy upstairs. It would be a wonderful place to work or meet clients, but it's so crazy loud! Seems like it has to do with the acoustics, something to absorb the noise is greatly needed.

David Gerrol

Food and coffee are good. But main dining room is on second level. Stairs are steep and could be a danger while carrying food upstairs.

Elissa Martinez

Very busy but worth every minute!

Saurin Parikh

Great place to buy artisan bread, grab a bite and work.

Julia Tackett

Best gluten free bread/roll I’ve ever had!

Light Yagami

I like my coffee strong but if I wanted an espresso I wouldn't have ordered a cappuccino. The only person who is capable of making great coffee there is a nice middle aged guy.

Dirk Stanley

Good place for morning coffee and a yummy pastry.

Carl Lantz

Awesome place for a coffee and baked good. Coffee cake, giant pretzel and cinnamon roll are my favorites. Also live their sandwiches at lunchtime. Grab a fresh baked loaf to bring home too!

Katherine Carver

This was our first visit to the new location. The coffee, service, and food are good. The cafe has two levels. On can get in to use the main floor with a walk and a wheelchair. People with mobility issues may have difficulty using the stairs. Am unaware if there is an elevator. Both locations are good.

Daddy Doge

Both people behind the counter could not answer if there were any vegan options for baked goods. (There were none) coffee was nothing special. Flat and uninspired. (I drink it black) Buddha bowl was just okay. Reminded me of rabbit food. Atmosphere upstairs is nice. Hung out on the couches to work and socialize with a friend. Tile floor in lobby is very slippery. It was raining and I slipped and fell. Have a bruise on my leg. There was a mat down but it wasnt enough. Bathroom was clean except some pee under the toilet seat. Overall experience was just average.

Stephen Lichenstein

The key to a good sandwich is the bread, and they have some excellent bread

Ryan Herington

So unhealthy, and so delicious.

Shanks Kulam

Fab fresh food and coffee, pleasant staff, plenty of space to eat/wrk from with lots of power points and good Wifi.

Rick Rothstein

Very comfortable relaxed atmosphere homemade baked goods

Erich Faust

I'm a big fan of their banana chocolate chip muffins! Modern, cozy atmosphere upstairs for a bite and a coffee

Elle Song

Very cute cafe! I came in for a light breakfast and some coffee. The service was quick and the staff was very friendly. The place was kept very clean. I ordered a standard black coffee and a blackberry muffin, both delicious. Highly recommend!

Corey Hardegree

Excellent bread and cold brew!

Peter Bender

Superb food and service!

joseph burton

Great. Food. Good. Customer. Service. Damn. Good. Employees

John Zapthethird09

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.

Hyacinth Nightshade

Arie G. THE REAL FLASH GORDON

Good food but expensive, and the wifi isn't great.

Lindsay Rollins

There's nothing better than the Hartford Baking Company on a Sunday. The food is amazing and the staff is really enthusiastic which is totally different from most West Hartford Center restaurants. It does get packed but they work through the line efficiently.

Caroline Buckley

Great spot for a quick breakfast and coffee or have lunch with a filling sandwich on delicious bread.

courtney ewell

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

Brian Beauvais

Nice to see some high end coffee in this area of Hartford.

Edwin Choc

Great coffee

Michael Fragleasso

Excellent baked bread and pastries.

Jaywalk

Tastes great mid priced and good atmosphere.

ERIK ALBRYCHT

Quality is good but pricey

Alana Dorris

Staff can sometimes be a bit rude but for the most part fine! Food is delicious! Coffee is hit or miss! Cold brew with dash of oat milk is phenomenal but cortados and cappuccinos are lacking! The California wrap lacked salt, but the farro salad with roasted chicken salad added was amazing, as was the buttermilk ranch, avocado, cheddar, roast turkey sandwich on rosemary sourdough. My friends who were visiting also said the EBAT was amazing! Unfortunately , the wifi DID NOT work once and I was trying to do PhD work.

Rebecca Taylor

Delicious food and great bread! Love the breakfast sandwiches.

Susan Schneider

Had the expression crusted roast beef sandwich. It was absolutely delicious!!

Nichole Reigins

Great Spot!

Reed MacMillan

Best bread in the Hartford area. You can tell because they sell out early. Try any kind, all are delicious. The brownies and apple crostada are also worth the calories...very delicious!

Good food. Great place to bring laptop/ do some work.

Julie Chen

Delicious
