We love Starbucks as much as the next person, but don’t you sometimes miss the little old-fashioned cafes that have largely been taken over by corporate ownership? Something about a locally-run coffee shop is special. We are lucky enough to still have quite a few locally-owned cafes in Connecticut, and one of the best is Espresso 59. Tucked away in the beautiful Litchfield Hills, this coffee shop features stellar hot and cold drinks, pastries, gelato, and more. Next time you need a quick sweet treat, stop by and check out their offerings!

From the outside, this cafe looks small and cute, with a typical New England charm about it. The Litchfield Hills region is perhaps the most underrated in Connecticut.

The gelato comes in a variety of flavors and has such a smooth texture. It's served at a higher temperature than ice cream, increasing the intensity of the flavors, and also has a much lower percentage of butterfat.

Espresso 59 serves up fruity flavors, chocolatey flavors, and even coffee-flavored if you want to double up on the espresso.
Want some pie or maybe a baked good to go along with your coffee and gelato? They've got you covered!
