The Bean @226

Very welcoming staff with a big smile. I stayed there to work because I had a lunch meeting nearby. After my meeting I went back and continue to work.
The cafe closes at 3:00 PM, but they let me borrow an extension cord and let me use their outside electric outlet until I was done with work around 06:00 PM.
Great energy there.

The Bean @226 is absolutely the place that you want to be. Everything about this coffee shop puts a smile on my face.
Back when we were house hunting in 2018, we knew that we wanted to live in Windsor, CT because of the beauty in the center of town, a core part of which was the quintessential downtown coffee shop that feels like home-away from home. I'm happy to say that I live in Windsor and go to The Bean @226 at least once a week to get my coffee fix and to just absorb the culture of this small and diverse town.

The owner always has a smile, good energy, and kind words for all guests. And you know that the vibe is right because there's a water dish outside for dogs and benches for anyone to relax and socialize under the shade on a wide sidewalk.

When you stop in, yourself whatever coffee or tea makes you happy, buy yourself a crystal, and get a card to send to your mom. Just enjoy your day by taking 20 minutes at The Bean @226.

A suggestion: Ask for a “Fluffy." It's a cold puffed espresso drink. I like one pump of lavender and two pumps of vanilla. Enjoy.

I've been numerous times and love it each time. I've had different drinks caffeinated & none as well as donuts, breakfast sandwiches and BLTs. The owner & workers are personable & willing to change up an order to fit my wants and needs. Wonderful place.

Work travel brought me to Windsor, so I decided to check out this local coffee shop. Excellent service and product! So much better than any chain places around. Highly recommend stopping in!

Excellent iced espresso. Very nice staff. Wish I could have sat outside on that beautiful day and had another cup but I had to run
