    I stumbled upon Rebel Dog Coffee completely by accident while I was in East Hartford, and WOW, am I glad I did! This was easily one of the best "wrong turns" I've ever taken. The moment I walked in, I was struck by how beautiful the place is. It has a fantastic, buzzing atmosphere. It's clearly a popular spot, as there were many people studying and working on laptops. It must be near the local college because it has this perfect, energetic, yet focused vibe. Despite being busy, the ambiance was just great. Now, let's talk about the most important part: the coffee. It was absolutely PHENOMENAL. I'm not exaggerating. This was easily one of the best, most delicious, and smoothest cups of coffee I have had in recent memory. You can tell they are passionate about quality. I was just looking for a quick caffeine fix and instead found my new favorite coffee shop. I will absolutely be making a special trip to come back. 10/10, 5 stars all the way. Highly recommend!

    The service was not so good. We were larger than normal group. About 12 of us. There were a couple of people, that their orders were missed. One person ordered one of their a fries. He was the last served and they were cold. Another person, they missed his breakfast burger. We had to go in and ask, where his food was. Personally, I wouldn't go back.

    Great atmosphere to meet someone, first date, business or friends. Varied menu, hot chocolate was great, good was great. The wait for the food was long. Longer than anticipated or expected. Service was otherwise ok. Not alot of chatter or friendly greetings. Stood at the counter and was ignored for a bit before my food was given to me.

    This location is just a short detour off the highway, and we highly recommend it! There was no line when we arrived on Sunday around 9:30am. The pumpkin spice latte with coconut milk was heavenly. Made with pumpkin puree it tasted like liquid pumpkin pie. YUM! Breakfast sandwiches are cooked to order with many toppings and bread (including gluten free) options. We had an English muffin with Eddie and Swiss and a GF egg BLT. Lots of seating indoors and great atmosphere.
