Hartford Coffee Company - Saint Louis

The food here is consistently good, but I've encountered issues with takeout. On our first takeout experience, we waited over an hour only to be told that our order had never been received, even after it had been placed. Instead of informing us that there was an issue, the staff kept insisting our food was being prepared. To their credit, one of the staff members kindly offered us some delicious pastries to make up for the inconvenience. We decided to give it another chance, and the second time was excellent—everything was delicious and the order was correct. However, today we ordered takeout again and discovered that a part of our order was missing only after we returned home. It's frustrating when you want to support a business but repeatedly face issues. I might just choose to dine in from now on.

The staff is fantastic, and the food and drinks are excellent at this charming spot near the park. Edit: Be sure to try Dylan's cakes and their seasonal beverages. They also showcase local artists, which is a lovely touch!

The prices are reasonable, and I’m eager to try more of their food. So far, I’ve only sampled the muffins and coffee. The muffins were excellent, but the coffee was a bit weak. I hope it’s better on my next visit. I’m giving it 5 stars overall because I’ve heard good reviews from others, so I’m hoping my experience was just a fluke. I’ll adjust my rating if I’m not impressed next time.

Love going here! Usually come by at least once a week. When I order pick up, it’s always ready quickly! The food is really good and the coffee is too. I like that you can add flavors to the lattes, the lavender latte is my favorite!!

Friendly staff; great atmosphere; and good soups, salads, sandwiches, coffee, and pastries for reasonable prices. Kid-friendly.
