Tony’s Coffee Express

The good:
Ami’s Bagels huge & chewy. Perfect for the breakfast sandwiches. Lots of flavors to choose from. Great flavored cream cheeses.
The bad:
So disorganized. I’ve been here several times, and for some reason, it is impossible to place an order, be rung up, and then receive your order. Employees skip around getting half orders from different people and then moving on before you’ve completed your order. Then people behind you in line are rung up before you. There’s been times I was waiting at the counter for food with my money out, ready to pay, and 3 people behind me were rung up. Sometimes they don’t even know if I’ve paid yet or not when I’ve already been given my food or coffee. Lots of delays when there’s no reason for it. My boyfriend usually gets too frustrated by this to even come here.
The OK:
service is hit or miss. A few employees are always friendly. There’s one who’s consistently short, borderline rude. I get this is a local spot with repeat customers, which I think is great. The thing is, I’ve been coming here for 2 years, and it is just so inconsistent.
Coffee, while certainly better than Dunkin, is just OK. Tons of flavors, hot and iced, but quality is so so. Pastries are the typical huge creations that some people like, but aren’t for me.
Worth stopping in since there’s nothing better in the area

Coffee was burnt and not very good (at least if you enjoy it black) — seems to be known more for their flavored coffees. Homemade baked goods, especially the canolis, were great. 2 stars for the coffee and 4 for the pastries.

This place has the BEST coffee in Connecticut (imho). Besides using Omar coffee, I really believe it is their water source (private well) that makes their coffee as unique and flavorful as it is. I never get the flavored coffee, but they do have tons of it;. and it’s made from beans that have the flavoring (not the stupid syrup shots other places use).
They recently started taking credit cards, so have no fear drastic plastic people (I’m one too): no need to go looking for the nearest atm machine anymore (btw it’s across the street at the Thomaston Saving Bank ;)
If you get there before noon, you might find the Mount Everest of all Apple Fritters in the case. Try and give it a climb (easier if you try and tackle it with a friend), you will not be disappointed!
They have breakfast sandwiches, awesome bagels, cannolis, eclairs and more. If you look on the counter, you will see a long paper menu (ask if you don’t see it) where you can order some of the more special pastries and pick them up at a later date. One of the items to get from that menu is Sausage Bread and it is YUM (get it with cheese too)!
I’ve traveled all over this state and have never found a coffee shop that is as good as Tony’s. I wish I lived a bit closer, but I stop by there every time I’m in the area.

Tony’s has iced coffee that will blow Dunkin Donuts right up out of the water. Great little place in Thomaston that doesn’t get as much recognition as it should.
They have freshly brewed coffee, breakfast sandwiches and pastries made daily. I spend a lot of time in NYC and I consider myself a bagel afficionado, but this place has the best bagels in New England as far as I’m concerned. Hands down.
Their italian pastry platter is also very tasty if you’re in a pinch and need something for a get together. Definitely a great place to go if you need a cup of coffee and you have a sweet tooth.

Best iced coffee in the state of CT! This is a family owned business that serves Omar’s coffee (served at almost every diner) and also offers a wide variety of bagels, donuts and other scrumptious desserts. I recommend an iced cinnamon hazelnut coffee with a monstrous apple fritter… the combination is outstanding.
Keep in mind, this is a cash only establishment. The first time I ever went I did not have cash on me, but the owner gave me a FREE iced coffee and since then I go whenever I’m in the area and often drive out of my way. A must try for any coffee fan!
