Essex Coffee and Tea Company

Love this place. Nice selection of tea and their gluten free black bean brownies are delicious!

Today was my first time adventuring through Essex, CT. First off, I love the location of this coffee shop--a charming little town with friendly locals. The inside of the cafe is small yet comfortable and inviting; as though you're visiting a friend or reltiave's house. The staff are so kind and prompt with their service. I also love the selection of drinks and food available; from your standard (amazing) coffee/tea options to Avery's soda (including the "Totally Gross Soda" line) to the variety of fruit-based and chocolate desserts and pastries (some gluten-free options too!). It's the kind of atmosphere and town that makes you want to come back as a cozy Sunday (if not daily) tradition. I'd live in this town if I could! Just want to say thank you for the great food, coffee, and service. I will definitely be coming back and recommending this little gem to friends and family! :) :)
