So excited to have a quality roast and espresso shop downtown! I will most definitely be getting my coffee and espresso from here over Starbucks! The space had all the nice touches you would find in a Blue State cafe, with a real emphasis on local. I ordered an espresso. The service was very friendly and attentive. I Sat at the bar stools surrounding the espresso machine. My drink was good, the crema was thick and pleasant in texture. It was consistent to shots Ive had at their other locations. I give Blue State Coffee, Hartford 4 stars because I only had the espresso. They have a lot more to offer. Hopefully I will be able to add the 5th star to my rating after other visits. Very impressed!

Delicious coffee, great staff, vegan food and drinks! It can get crowded, but its worth the wait. Edit: This was originally a 5 star review. It needs to be adjusted to 3 stars for consistently broken internet. I come here to work every once in a while and am almost always met with no internet. They offer to restart it, but it still doesnt work. Once or twice makes sense, but every time is a problem that needs to be addressed. Please fix your internet! It shouldnt be that hard!

This is an interesting little place. Its somewhat small, and built in an old bank. Theres even an old elevator to the vault right in the store. What I really found interesting about this place was its charitable component. Apparently they donate 2% of profits to local causes. Youre given a vote token and given 4 charities to choose from. Theyre helping the community, and you get input about how that happens. Very different, but great to see.

Good latte, knowledgeable and friendly baristas on the ground floor of the building I worked in 30+ years ago, unfortunately, it feels like the ground floor of that building with doors to the elevator lobby opening off the shop. It has a decidedly unfinished feel to it, but Im hoping it will improve as the rental units above are finished and occupied. Well see.

Whats really nice about this coffee chain is how they donate to charity and people less fortunate. What a rare thing today, with lots of other companies being so greedy and caring only about their corporate profits. So thank you very much for donating to those in need. Oh and yeah..... their coffee is really good too!!

I ran into to this business in New haven-Yale and once I noticed they were on Main st- Hartford, I had to walk in and try a macchiato--Superb!, definitely a nice substitute than large corp. Starbucks. and no lines (8:15AM). They also give back 2% of its proceeds to local causes!

Everytime I come in the staff is more than welcoming. To make it even better they make a mean latte! Id rather get my coffee and snacks from this buisness than the Starbucks a block away. Not to mention Blue State supports local food and gives back to the community.

Very pricey coffee. I should have just walked away. $3.95 for 20 Oz iced coffee? Crazy d and d which is less than 100 yards away is $2.39 for 32 ouncez of coffee. I didnt try their food, it looks good, but I have a funny feeling its not cheap.

One of the best coffee shops in CT, certainly the best in Hartford. The service is excellent and Blue State gives back to local non-profits. A must if you are into great coffee or need a great location to meet in downtown Hartford.

Fantastic espresso! They roast their own beans and their Espresso #9 is amazing in a latte. One if the best Ive ever had. Great service. And their home made granola parfait is awesome... not like that syrupy sweet crap at *bucks.

Delightful coffee shop with progressive values and excellent coffee and tea. We stopped in for cappuccino and roiboss tea, saw the impressive cold brew equipment and immediately wanted to come back! Friendly staff too.

Delicious sriracha turkey sandwich. I normally dont mess with food at coffee shops but Im glad I did this time. That sandwich was nice and tight. A couple places nearby were closed cause it was Sunday and theyre cowards.

Was there once on a typically lonely downtown weekend. The staff was welcoming, coffee was spot on and their commitment to supporting great local organizations is enough to make me continue supporting.

I dig this cozy little spot. Wifi, good treats, friendly staff- right across from the bus stop. In the heart of downtown. Cute meet-up spot for a couple of friends to catch-up at. 5 stars.

Better than Dunkin & Starbucks, but not anything to write home about. They have a crazy looking cold brew hipster contraption at the counter that is cool.

Staff is always very friendly and super nice. Coffee is spot on, and the food is not half bad. I started to make this my coffee spot instead of dunkin.

Great coffee. Very focused on supporting local charities. Vote where the funds for the month/week go when you get a cup of coffee. Always clean.

Great brews, great food and great service. They are also one of the few businesses downtown that are open on Sunday, so they get extra points.

Iced vanilla lattes are great! I was impressed by their support for the local community both in donations and use of local products.

Perfect location (right in the center of town), perfect size (intimate, doesnt feel like a coffee factory), and perfect coffee.
