Customer Reviews
Delicious lattes that made me feel right at home. Since moving to Willimantic from Manchester in 2020, I've really missed Silk City. So excited to now have them in town. The atmosphere immediately felt just like Silk City, with several tables, benches, counters, etc to hang out or work. Got 2 decaf hot lattes, maple and brown sugar - both delicious, a raspberry oat bar, and GF chocolate cake. Everything was delicious and fresh. The people were welcoming, kind, and prompt. Can't wait to return again and again!
Americano coffee has a sour taste, so I highly recommend it to those who like that flavor. Honey latte was also rich and sweet. The cinnamon raisin bagel sandwich (PB&J) with honey latte peanut butter and jam and the bagel sandwich with salmon smoked, cream cheese, cucumbers, capers and salad greens were very delicious. It seems to be a small cafe mainly visited by regulars, but the taste and service are excellent. We were deeply impressed by the unexpected countryside cafe and was able to continue my next trip.
Very cute place, the baristas are always very nice and their coffee is amazing! I love the idea of charging a little extra for take out cups and less for reusable cups. Ive had two of their bagel sandwhiches and they have both been very good.
The place is beautiful and quiet, and the coffee is very good. But I would have liked the cappuccino to be served in a cup, not a plastic one, since it wasn't for takeout, but for enjoying the place.
Update: This place is now open till 3:00. It's an improvement. Grounded Coffee, the place that used be here was better, and it's a huge pity that it's gone now and replaced with this. No bagels anymore, and fewer hours. Closes at 2:00?!? Why the crap does every stupid little small town coffee place seem to think they only exist to compete with Dunkin for getting the miserable morning masses their get-me-through-this caffeine? College towns need caffeine fueled get-together hubs of creativity, not a Star Bucks that closes before you can blink. There is a mistake in how Google is treating the reviews of this place. The good reviews you are seeing are from Grounded Coffee, but this is not Grounded Coffee anymore, and it's not the same. You see pictures of the bagels and stuff but they don't
