Reviews for One State Street Cafe in Hartford, CT
Though the cuisine theme days are gone and the wide selection of food items has been pared down since COVID, there are still... specials of the day, salads that staff will assemble for you behind the counter, and great sandwiches. Here is a photo of a cupof their chili bought to-go for three dollars. This is really good chili. I like chili whether its made with ground or stewmeat, with or without beans, though some people prefer it one way or the other. The Hartford Steam Boiler Company's cafeteria,"One State Street Café," which is open to the public, makes their chili with beef stew meat, and it's not barely there inshreds, but big, bold, tender pieces of beef. The beans are cooked perfectly. The spice and seasoning is light but present.Impressive. A package of oyster crackers comes with the chili. I had some on a hot dog and the rest from the to-go cup reheatedin the microwave. Please start selling this by the quart! Read more
I've changed jobs recently, and this is one of the places I'm going to miss having access to. Very solid choices most days, and... given its a corporate cafeteria, very good quality and decent prices. The seating area is nice, light, and open. Read more
This restaurant is hidden away in the Hartford Steam Boiler insurance company building. You have to look for it, it won't be... obvious from the street. Don't be intimidated by the location in a business, it is open to the public. From the first level Iwalked in there is a very small coffee bar--don't stop there! Continue up one flight to the main cafeteria. Here you'll find anamazing number of options with a big salad bar, grill and sandwich bar. The deep-fried brussel sprouts are not to be missed. Ihad a great half-roast beef sandwich (this was plenty big for me) with homemade potato chips and a small drink for just $4.50. Ican't comment on breakfast but I'm going to try it as soon as I can. Highly recommend this lunch if you are visiting anywherenear the riverwalk, Science Center or Old State. Read more
The food here is freshly made by a good chef. A variety of items to choose from which is good. I don't like that the food is a... la carte and weighed unlike most places that charge a set price for a meal and you order the items to make up your meal. Thispractice makes it very expensive to eat here. Plus you don't know how much it's going to cost and if you have enough to pay. Ithink they'd get more sales if they take away weighting the items.
