Dom's Coffee - Avon

Last time I was here 2 years ago, it was a super clean welcoming shop, they also had great espresso served by professionals who were all knowledgeable and able to answer coffee related questions and loved and encouraged talking coffee with customers. I would watch other customers drinks come out with cool designs like flowers, swans, or even designs that no other shop in the state was doing at the time. They took that extra care about the quality and presentation. Came in again about 2 weeks ago when visiting the area, the place was dirty with crumbs all over the ground and a bit of a sour milk odor. I figured it was a busy day and proceeded to order, I would ask about what types of coffees they had on and didn’t have the slightest clue about what they were serving outside of light, medium, or dark roast. I waited an about 5 mins for my shot, and noticed that they did away with the designs and all the mugs had blobs of foam on top like you’d see at Starbucks. Then I get my drink and it was the worst espresso I’ve ever had (it was bitter and harsh like you’d get if you order a shot at Starbucks) and seems like the new staff doesn’t have the slightest clue about what’s going on or what they are doing. It seems like they hired a bunch a teenagers who don’t care like you’d find at McDonald’s. Sad because this was my favorite shop in ct, but next time I’ll find another REAL 3rd wave shop in the area, because clearly this shop has lost it’s touch and it doesn’t feel like it’s even the same amazing shop I visited 2 years ago that I had a such a positive experience at.

Dom's is a favorite of mine! It's great for co-working during the week with a hot coffee and something delicious to eat. The atmosphere is awesome and on the weekends it is absolutely bustling. Totally recommend for a quick stop or a longer afternoon!

Not only did they mess up my order once but after I told them exactly what I wanted and that I have an allergy they made me the same drink causing me to have an allergic reaction. I love Dom’s but I won’t be going back for the indefinite future.

Excellent cheese selection, woman serving us at the cheese counter was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Coffee and sandwiches excellent as well.

Suggest to get a breakfast sandwich or panini, and some ice cream next door is also by Dom’s! This place is popular during the mornings and lunch, early afternoon. Plenty of parking!
