Spicy Green Bean

Food is fantastic, Service is great,. Comfortable atmosphere, one of best places in town.

Excellent food and the bartender was super friendly

Food was great. Atmosphere was a little loud because no rugs or curtains to soften the sound. I would go there again.

The Spicy Green Bean menu has an eclectic mix of Breakfast and Lunch items that are sure to delight your taste buds. On the breakfast side, SGB offers a number of unique omelettes like the Polish Thunder, the Steak Bomb and the Roasted Veggie. In addition to these, SGB has a number of signature specials in their Platinum Breakfasts and half a dozen unique Eggs Benedict offerings. Each breakfast includes their Breffie Potato's, which are a delicious blend of sweet, purple, pink and white spuds, cut in chunks and cooked french fries style. There are at least two dozen unique sandwiches on the lunch menu, as well as burgers and salads. SGB does also cater, bringing their unique food to your event.

Best veggie burger i ever had. Frys were crispy service friendly. Loved it

The food here is incredible. Not only do you have the really good regular plates, but every special that I've ever had, you can really feel the flavors come together. Experiencing the unique combinations and simple pleasure that I find to be Spicy Green's hallmark. If you haven't been please do check them out

Amazing food & service!!! I will definitely be back

Our first time in the new location. It has cute decor, lots of room. We shared the Alice in Shroomland, The Lob Couple, and the Schrute Farms, but we had to pack the latter to go we were so full from the first 2! Every item is fresh and sooo delicious and our server, Zack, was a lot of fun (he's also a "The Office" fan)! We were disappointed that our favorite item, Duck Rings, is no longer on the menu, but the Dirty Waffle Poutine was a good (but not perfect) sub. We'll keep asking for the Duck Rings until they bring them back! This is probably our favorite in town restaurant and we def will return!

Good food but we waited for 2+ hours. It was painful and I'm not sure worth that amount of lost time. But maybe it speaks to the demand for the vibe/food they provide.

I can't think of enough good things to say about this restaurant. I love the drink menu it's so unique and all the drinks are very refreshing. no matter what you pick you can't go wrong. I love it here

Great menu choices. Good coffee and beautiful decor. Loved the California nut eggs Benedict.

Love the food, but goodness they re slow. Even pre-pandemic all I remember is waiting. The food definitely makes me want to come back, but sitting in the parking lot for 30+ min because they can t give a reasonable estimate of the wait when I call in a to-go order is frustrating.

New location (on New London) Great atmosphere, creative and delicious food and fantastic service.

We want to like this place, but every time we go we are disappointed. We waited nearly a half hour outside for a table- despite three vacant tables waiting (several other couples waited as well- one with a baby). The food is decent, but not spectacular. You will wait at least an hour for it to cook- whether you order an egg sandwich or eggs benedict. EVERYTHING here also contains pork- even their potatoes are cooked in bacon grease. It's not vegetarian or allergy friendly by any means. And special requests- such as cooking your eggs thoroughly, or making your meal without ham- will not be honored the first time around.

While we want to support a local place with local spirit, this place is just too disorganized. At least the staff kindly takes mistakes off your bill or doesn't charge for your coffee to try to make up for it.

The new, hip vibe in Glastonbury. Outstanding, creative dishes. Fun.

Eclectic stmosphere coupled with delicous and imagibative dinners and sandwiches. Definitely recommend it as a must...

Food and drinks were excellent, staff were friendly and inviting even if a little inexperienced. Overall a truly excellent dining experience.

Spicy Green Bean feels slightly less warm in its new location but the quality has, if anything, improved from what was already great.

Whatever you choose to get, try out the tomato Basil bisque with the grilled cheese croutons. It is a panacea for winter.

IM FROM NEW ORLEANS. I KNOW GOOD FOOD!! THIS IS IT!!!!

Great food, good atmosphere, very chic. They don't serve alcohol but they own the liquor store next door and you can BYOB.

Great service and atmosphere but the FOOD was absolutely phenomenal. The chefs absolutely nailed every dish we had. Cannot wait to come back and try the rest of the menu!

Spicy green bean is one of those restaurants that has it all. From the owner to the atmosphere to the food. They turn the word smile into a rating, cause afterwards thats what your left with !!!

Don't be fooled, the breakfast here involves neither spice or green beans. It does, however, offer excellent rotating specials, uncomfortably large omeletes and a Mucha-inspired art deco decor. The wait is well worth the brunch, however, it's always felt understaffed. It looks like only two servers were avaliable for the entire restaurant. I guess good things come to those who (have no choice but) wait.

Great food, very nice and helpful staff. Excellent!!

I love the uniqueness of this place and the menu. I have been twice now and enjoyed my meal both times. The last time I was there, I had the Poke Tuna wrap which was absolutely delicious!

We're planning on going back to try again but unfortunately it didn't live up to the hype for us. First, they were pretty busy and we ended up waiting close to an hour for the food. I ordered a steak that was described on the menu as 'drizzled' with a hollandaise cheese sauce but arrived COVERED in it. I scraped it all off and got on with it. We also ordered a sweet glazed pork loin which was also smothered. The BBQ sauce was all over the rice that accompanied the pork, not very appetizing. In any case, it just wasn't our night and we're hoping the 2nd time's a charm.

Very yummy and filling brunch. Loved my kielbasa omelette. Service was good and friendly and the food was great. Much of it too, got to bring home a snack for later. Prices were excellent for what I got. Definately going back.

Love the new location place is gorgeous service was a little slow but the food was also very good with original plates

A funky little breakfast and lunch spot. Both management and staff have a good sense of humor as you will immediately determine from their menu. Prices were reasonable and wait staff attentive without being obtrusive.

Loved the food. Great wait staff. Parking isn't easy. Very cute decor.

This 5 star rating was 2 years ago, I have no idea what it's like now

We've been huge fans of the Spicy Green Bean for years, but our first time eating at the new location was so severely disappointing that I felt like I had to leave a review.

While the old location was cozy and intimate with eclectic decor and art, the new one feels like someone redecorated a TGI Friday's with items from the TJ Maxx sale section. The quirky charm of the old place has been replaced with fake wood walls, fake plants, bright lights, and loud dance music.

We sat at a table made of a large upturned barrel, which meant that we either had to straddle it or sit sideways. Did anyone try sitting at these? They're comically uncomfortable.



The dishes are still interesting and creative, but everything we ate was under-seasoned and our yuca fries (which sound like an awesome idea!) only tasted like the oil they were fried in.

I've never written a restaurant review online, but the new Spicy Green Bean is so dramatically different (read: worse) than what it once was that I felt like I had to. It's strange that they're now branding themselves as an "edgy" eatery, when everything unique or edgy has been stripped away. This used to be our favorite restaurant in Glastonbury, but I doubt we'll be back again.

This restaurant is absolutely amazing! The food was extremely fresh and fulfilling. I can confidently say that this was that best veggie burger I've ever had, and the menu options do not disappoint! The french fries were so crisp and non-oily--I felt refreshed and satisfied after my meal. All of this for a great price accompanied by a beautiful, cozy/modern ambiance!

Great food and drink. Owner is hands on. The staff is superb. Recently attended a wine tasting and it was fantastic.

Best restaurant in the Glastonbury area by far. Outstanding customer service, innovative menu offerings and an awesome environment. Whether you re looking for a quick bite, a delicious cocktail or relaxing meal with friends, this is the place for you! There s always something new to try and the food is phenomenal. Kudos to Kasha and her team.

Bohemian, eclectic yet delicious for the organic farfegnugen crowd, but appeals to mainstream should they keep an open mind and step inside.

Very bad service. Decent food when you get it. Not at all like the old Spicy Green Bean.

Great food, great atmosphere, great people. Definitely recommend for breakfast or drinks

The Spicy Green Bean is AMAZING!! Great food and even better service. I had the breakfast this morning with my vegetarian girlfriend and everything was made to our liking. We had the eggs & potato breakfast special and we subbed veggies and vegan sausage instead of the pork hash. It was outstanding, I recommend the green bean to everyone!!

The eclectic vibe and food won me over my first visit. Recently went back for breakfast again and was not disappointed. Check out the special board - we had a delicious pumpkin special. Let full and happy ! Next up is dinner

Great food with a unique theme throughout the menu! The restaurant has a warm, festive vibe and is appropriate for the entire family! Prices are affordable... great value for your dollar.

Since the location has changed, so has the menu. The delicious kooky konkoction menu that they used to honor is pretty much gone. Their daily soups.... I ve never seen it minus the tomato soup with grilled cheese crotons. I miss their chicken curry salad, popcorn soup and many more items they used to make.

The service is pretty slow despite all the staff working. The acoustics are terrible in the restaurant making it unnecessarily noisy.

The food is EH. The quality and you can definitely taste no love in the food.

The new location is not very warm or welcoming. Trying to be a hipster upscale restaurant with subpar food.

Took a couple of my co-workers here. They were blown away with the creative cocktails which just the right amount of strong and well balanced. It was very busy but our bartender and staff kept us comfortable as well as all the other patrons. We order some apps to start where my co-workers were surprised at how good LJ's Peanut Butter and Jelly wings were. I personally always find each item on the menu creative and something that you are not gonna find anywhere else.

They moved to a much larger building, but their food is still phenomenal

Small menu, but everything is good. Great drink menu as well.

This place is great! One of the only BYOB places I have found in CT. Their breakfast is great and they even have some dishes that include free coffee and a mimosa. And their food is very affordable. Definitely one of my favorite breakfast spots in the Hartford area.

I want to give this place 5 stars for their food. Especially their brunch! But the service can be slow at times. Seating is tight but the ambiance is good. Definitely worth trying though. Still need to try their dinner.

Very interesting menu. I enjoyed my crabmeat Florentine Benedict. Good, bold coffee. However, my wife's omelette was overcooked an not anything like fluffy - over beaten eggs cooked at too high a temp for too long will do that.

One other note I shared with the kitchen: a garnish must be fresh to be effective, and a day-old slice of orange does more damage than just leaving it off of the plate.

Will we come back, again? Hmm? Not unless we happen to be nearby, and hungry. Otherwise? Not likely. The test of a short order cook is, "can you make a fluffy omelette?"

It was my first visit to the Spicy Green Bean, the waiter was ok at first, welcomed me, then ask me if this was my first time. I said yes. I ordered, I'm not sure what happened but it went down hill from then. The waiter basically ignored me the entire meal. After a 15 min wait for my food and watching the people next to me, who arrived after me receive their food, I flagged down the waiter and asked him what was taking so long, his comment was " oh you got to go, you want me to have them pack it to go?" No, I said just was wondering because I was seated before the people next to me first and the ordered the same thing. He said he was going to check on it. Then came back with my food. He set it down and said nothing. I said thank you.
He stopped at my table so far once to check on me. The female waitress was excellent, she waited on people next to me. She refilled their water 7 times, went by to check on them several times. My waiter is still MIA
Oh well. It's funny. I hear my waiter telling the people next to me the specials. Sounds delicious. I never had a choice.
Well I can say I experienced the Spicy Green Bean....... can't say I'll return.... my waiter may need just a little more training... Haven't felt like a fish out of water in a long time. The food was ok, but my experience left a bad taste in my mouth.
Ok, the waiter brings my bill. I give him my credit card. He commits on my picture when he returns. Strikes up a whole conversation. OMG He must wants a tip. LOL. Yes, people I gave him a tip. It was a good one. I am a professional.

awesome food, the tomato soup with grilled cheese croutons is amazing

One of our favorite places for brunch or small plates! Super creative dishes and a great bar too! Very family friendly also.

I was excited to try this place given great reviews. I provided my name and was given 15 minutes wait time. I waited an hour we were next I told wait staff it was crazy to wait this long and I had my son waiting . She didn t care took us off list no apologies and there were more than 5 tables opened.

I am from NY and every time I visit my buddy in Glastonbury , this place is always a must stop. The food is delicious, the service top notch and the atmosphere is perfect !

Very good service, food is fresh, and have different options than your typical breakfast food. The only thing is that they don't have coffee flavor choices.

Artsy cafe with gluten-free buns, sandwich bread and wraps. The veggie burger that had raves reviews wasn't GF. Sweet potato fries are crispy. Before noon, not super busy, but by noon it was packed and noisy with chatter. Best part: the gallery walls! Great pieces all around, but I was drawn to this one series. On the way out I took a photo trying to avoid the diners below...and it was the artist! She's fantastic! Never know who you'll meet :)

Too many exotic items on the menu. Just give me plain bacon and eggs

Incredible food! Bursts of fantastic flavors with every bite! Highly recommend to anyone in the area. Thanks Spicy Green Bean!

Our meals were delicious and the service was awesome. One of the best soups (beef) I ever ate.

Love their weekend breakfast! Highly recommend the humpty dumpty and down in the bayou. One of our Favorite breakfast spots, look forward to 9am on Sundays

Staff is unknowledgeable and Unhelpful. Additionally they do not know how to use their online services.

The evolution of this establishment from Lunch take out to the fine eatery it is today is just awesome to witness.
Fine cocktails, dynamic cuisine, great service.

got stuck waiting for a grubhub order for nearly an hour, to then be told they don't "do" grubhub orders, already took payment on another customers order.

Really fantastic soup. We've eaten there several times and if always been very happy

Vegans Unite! Great vegan food options. I had the falafel and broccoli fries and my husband had a salad and they were good clean food. We would return. Thanks for feeding the vegans Spicy Green Bean!

Delicious food - great service! Will definitely go again!
