This review is only for their iced tea. As someone who does not drink coffee, I am always shocked how difficult it is to find a decent iced black tea and I hope this review helps a fellow tea lover. I really wanted to like the Southington coffee house because it is cute and the workers were nice. However, my entire experience was chaotic.
They clearly are understaffed and are training someone new who was struggling to make and deliver orders to customers. I watched the employee hand the wrong crepe to a table and after that cut into it and returned it to them, they tried to give it to the person that actually ordered it instead of making them a new one.
I asked for an iced black tea but the only one they had in the fridge was from June 1st. So instead I opted for the iced peach green.

I didn't see an option for an Iced Dirty Chai, but asked if they'd be willing to make it and did so without even thinking twice. Considering I asked for an off-menu item near the end of the standard hours of operations, I was anticipating getting another item, but they enthusiastically agreed to make it, and it was fantastic. I highly recommend visiting if you're in the area. The interior was inviting and well thought out. I didn't order ahead, but they had a separate pickup area for that which likely makes quick visits a breeze. Give it a try, you won't be...
Read moreThe place is very cutenand front end staff was very friendly and helpful. We h as ve never been here before , so, I ordered hot coffee with lavender / rose flavoring ..yuck!! The cashier came to check on us and asked me how everything was. I told her I didn't think I made a wise choice , that I realize now I should have ordered tea with that particular flavoring. She nicely offered a swap out to tea from the coffee and it made the experience awesome. It was quite delicious, as was the scone I had my hubby had the breakfast sandwich. Under 20 with tip. A bit expensive for the amount of food, BUT both were delicious !! A great change from eating in !! When you walk in it seems like a tight fit, but the room off if the...
