Butcher And The Bean - Hartford

Great place to share a charcuterie board and coffee with freinds, the ONLY place i have seen to offer charcuterie boards like that! Amazing idea!

Parkville Market needs a better option for coffee. Every experience I've had here was awful, especially for their iced coffee. The iced coffee is absolutely dreadful. At one point, the group I normally come here with used me as a guinea pig and sent me on a recon mission to see if the iced coffee got better since our last visit. Well once again, it was awful. The coffee just tastes watery and old. It was like it was made a week ago or something. I know I can't be over exaggerating when an entire table of people are too afraid to try it again because it's been consistently horrible. It's like Dunkin Donuts when they have a bad day but here, everyday seems to be a bad day. Maybe it tastes different right when they open!? Come on. They either don't offer or are always out of like chocolate type or mocha syrups too. Very unfortunate. Because of this, I try one of their other flavorings and none of them can save the awful coffee. I had a cappuccino here one time and it was just OK. But for iced coffee, no bueno. Maybe one day it will get better but I can't be a test dummy much longer. At least the people that work here are nice. But whatever iced coffee they're serving, I don't know, somethings wrong here.

Unimpressed... for $20 plus tax for 3 chosen items, crackers, bread, fruit and Jam this should have been a knock out punch for a place that only does this and coffee... it wasn't. The stall was out of cucumbers so they asked if they could sub it with fruit. Cool. After waiting 10 minutes I saw the one employee was serving coffee and pastries to someone who came after me. They proceeded to tell me they were out of prosciutto and asked to sub it with something else. Cool. After I finally got the tray that's where it went sideways. Everything tasted like it had been soaked in glycol even the onion jam. The crostini's were stale. The only thing that tasted like it should was the strawberry. The Parmesan cheese had no flavor at all. I threw away most of the board. I got fried calamari from the stall next to them for almost $10 less and 2-3 times the amount. Won't be going back to this stall again

Such a cute place! Grocery store and eatery. Delicious bakery items from Harvest bakery in Bristol. Service was awesome!!

Checked out The Butcher and The Bean today. I must say they have some great coffee. I had the large iced coffee. The service was quick as well.
