Deja Brew Espresso Bar & Victoria's Vineyard — Restaurant in Hartford City

My teenage children and I were looking for a new coffee house to visit and we were directed to Deja Brew from a helpful community member. We thank her for her recommendation to a golden ticket coffee/food/cafe! The atmosphere was intimate and inviting. The coffee options matched, if not exceeded the other shops we’ve frequented. I had a sugar free vanilla chai cold brew with 2 espresso shots on the side. Delish! My homemade chicken salad on toasted wheat was the perfect blend of fresh vegetables and savory chicken. My kid had scratch made tomato soup served up in a quaint mug with diced onions and fresh garlic. No canned or thin soup here at Deja Brew! My other kid ordered a fresh made cinnamon roll… and she raved about the texture of the soft and fluffy roll. Baked with the perfect amount of cinnamon and the frosting was in ratio with the hot roll. The decor was charming and filled with handmade items from a local group that meets up at the shop to make good luck charms. The seats are all plush and made dining a comfortable experience. Deja Brew offers inside and outside lounging with an outside brick fire pit. Gordon is the name of the owner. He meets you with a friendly smile and explains the menu items in detail. He offers up breakfast, lunch and coffee orders exactly to our liking! Thanks Gordon! We look forward to visiting your friendly face at your quaint little place called Deja...

The food smells wonderful, the coffee selection is great, we usually get Blueberry but are looking forward to trying the lavender coffee as well. Really hard to find lavender coffee anywhere. The pumpkin spice coffee is year round, not just seasonal. The atmosphere is amazing, very pub meets coffee klatch meets dark academia. The ambiance and coffee attract people from all walks of life from blue collar workers, to academics from surrounding universities, authors, scholars, and more. One local city group meets here regularly every month for a large gathering twice monthly. The owner, Gordon, is friendly, welcoming, hospitable, amiable, and knowledgeable. Children are welcome (with adult supervision), books and sometimes puzzles and boardgames for the kids are available. They are always willing to accept donations of any children's books for patrons to read. We, (my wife and i) come here every week. Great place to chill, study, read, or chat with friends. Highly recommend to anyone local or just...

I dont have pictures and its been a year or 2 since I visited. But I do have a memory and my memory of this place is warm and welcoming. I wasnt sure what to expect walking in. But it was empty with the most welcoming man (the owner) who was working alone at the time. At first we thought it might not be open yet. But it was. We had biscuits and gravy I cant remember what my firends ordered but I ordered ice coffee. I was pleased to find out the ice is made out of coffee so your coffee doesnt get watered down (highly impressed) I ruined my coffee because i put too much powered creamer in it. And he fixed my drink for free even though it was my fault. The food was great, felt like you were eating at a friends rather than a restaurant. A wholesome man. A welcoming place. Great food and great drinks. Great service. highly highly highly recommend. This place is a hidden...
