So G Coffee Roasters

For years, I’ve been a big fan of the «competition» (Daybreak Coffee Roasters) across town, but So G is definitely winning me over. You can smell the delicious aroma the second you pull into the parking lot, and when you walk in the door, you’re mouth starts to water.
The coffee is fresh and real. It’s not the pre-​packaged, mass-​produced garbage you get at Dunkin. The workers are accommodating and personable. The atmosphere is quiet and serene. It just doesn’t get any better. I’ll keep coming back as long as they’re around.
Get after it, folks.
p. s. — It can be kinda hard to find, as it’s tucked away in a tiny old school plaza. Use Gardiner’s Market as a landmark and you won’t miss it.

After a wonderful morning of peach picking at Dondero Orchards, my friends and I ended up at So G for a caffeine pick me up. I’ve heard about this little spot for years and somehow it took until now to finally make my way over (which I guess makes sense, since it isn’t exactly in my neck of the woods). The iced coffee is exceptional. No sweeteners needed, and maybe just a drop of cream or milk. SoG also stocks gluten free goodies from Dee’s on the other side of town. My pistachio muffin was HEAVEN, though not sure which bakery it came from.
The café itself is cozy with exposed brick, tin ceilings, and plenty of seating (outdoor as well) despite the small-​ish space. Bags of coffee beans to go are a must!

This should be the only coffee shop on your radar. Ever.
I stopped into So G on a whim after hiking through Cotton Hollow. I needed a caffeine pick me up, but when I saw their menu offerings I couldn’t pass up a quick snack as well.
What struck me immediately about So G was the genuine friendliness of the girls behind the counter. They were incredibly helpful, offering suggestions to my little cousin who is not a coffee house regular, and thoroughly explaining fun facts about the menu as they went through it. I asked if the sweet potato chipotle soup was vegetarian (it was), and was told how they get their soup from a small company in New York where it is made in small batches and shipped fresh. I was then offered a sample to try before buying. The whole interaction felt like an easy conversation with friends, and totally made my day.
I decided on an iced americano and a bowl of the sweet potato chipotle soup. Both were phenomenal. The soup did indeed taste homemade, and was a delicious purée of sweet potatoes with a hint of smoky spice. (Soups also come with a choice of bread of crackers, but I opted for neither that day.) My americano was bold and smooth, just what an americano should be. I enjoyed both of these treats, nestled in at a cozy table in the small but very inviting dining area.
Honestly, I had an absolutely perfect experience at So G, thanks to their incredible staff and impeccable coffee and soup. I cannot wait for my next visit! Thanks again, So G!!!

As soon as you walk into So G Coffee Roasters you are pleasantly greeted by the wonderful smell of fresh coffee. If you are looking for the ideal «cozy & cute coffee shop» …this is it. So G is almost hidden away in a small plaza located in South Glastonbury. My boyfriend and I ventured here after a Sunday morning hike. There are fresh baked goods, a variety of flavored syrups, and even steel cut oatmeal. The staff is very helpful and friendly and there is just enough seating both inside and outside.
I’m the coffee drinker that needs 5 minutes to say my entire order. I like to mix things up and get interesting combinations of flavors. I ordered a cinnamon, coconut iced latte with almond milk. It was absolutely perfect. The latte tasted so fresh and the flavoring was not overwhelming.
This is a perfect spot for a date night, to relax on a Sunday morning, or to get some work done. If you need quiet to get work done, I would suggest grabbing your coffee and heading elsewhere as it can get a little noisy due to the small space.
So G Coffee Roasters is one of my favorite stops for coffee and I would definitely recommend you stop in!

I am so happy I stopped in here today. So G is such a cute spot, and the coffee is definitely the best I’ve had in Connecticut to date, nice and smooth.
The coffee cake was huge and delectable, and the peach granola muffin, while seemingly absent of granola, was very tasty and had real pieces of fruit in it.
Love the atmosphere with the metallic roof, various seating options, and large window with generous table space.
I literally cannot wait to come back.
