The Craft Llc - Rainbow Rd, East Granby

It seems like The Craft is closed more often then it's open. I've tried coming here a few times, but they were always closed. I finally arrived at the right time. The Craft is such a beautiful space. Their natural wood countertop is eye catching and an organic piece of stationary decor.They make sandwiches and drinks. The seats are comfy and beautiful. There's a little pumpkin on each table.I got a small iced Dulce de Leche latte. As I was ordering, the lady first put it as hot in the computer, after I told her I would prefer it iced, the price jumped from under $3.00, to over $5.00. Why is an iced latte so much more expensive? Am I really paying extra for a few ice cubes? I understand there's a bit more to it, but I digress...I waited a few minutes for my latte. It was so delightful, sweet, frothy and delicious! I'm not usually someone you're going to find working on my computer at a coffee shop. The Craft might be a possibility. It is so calm, airy, bright and inviting. They also had some cookies, banana bread and such for sale.I would love to return here again very soon!

Met the owner Naima when they first opened and thought everything was great-had my favorite pastry: currant rolls.We had a death in the family of a patron of this bakery, who is from the same country as Naima.Came into the store and asked if we could speak with her and was told that she was busy. We know how fickle yeast is, so we stated that it was regarding a death in the family and that we also were interested in ordering items for the repast. The employee said to send an email.So we sent an email reiterating the conversation from the shop and the response we received wasn’t even from Naima, but from her employee Renelle.While our family member wasn’t important to the Naima,he was important to us. And The Craft was important to him, as he wanted to support someone he felt was a member of his community. Not only did he patronize her establishment, but he also encouraged family and friends to do so as well.Culture Community are important to us. Kinda thought a small business owner could understand.

I can’t think of anything I haven’t liked here. The bagels are fresh and amazing!

Staff, service, bread, pastries, sandwiches, seatingAll very well done, cohesive, and delicious!The location is a little out of the way, which I believe aids in only being open Friday-Sunday, but this is my go to place for bagels, baguettes, and breakfast sandwiches when I have the time to make it hereVegetarian options: Lots of vegan and gluten free options for cookies, brownies, and pastries of many kinds and all are clearly labeledKid-friendliness: I always see at least one parent with their children when I come hereThe are booths to sit at, high tables, and well as rocking chairs and a comfy couchWheelchair accessibility: Both entrances seem wheelchair accessible, the entire building is one level

This place has great gluten-free options! They make everything in house. The coffee was also very good.
