A neighborhood café and bar on Ledyard Street where specialty drinks, house-made confections, and a warm atmosphere come together — from morning pour-overs to evening cocktails.
M A Candy opened its doors on Ledyard Street with a simple conviction: that a great cup of coffee and a genuinely welcoming space can transform an ordinary afternoon. What started as a neighborhood coffee stop has grown into Hartford's go-to destination for specialty drinks, house-made sweets, and evening cocktails.
We source our beans from roasters who share our obsession with quality, bake our pastries in-house every morning, and pour every cocktail with the same care — whether it's 8 a.m. or 8 p.m.
Our menu changes with the seasons, but these are the staples our regulars come back for — every single day.
Start your day with a perfectly pulled espresso and a warm pastry. Our baristas know your order before you do.
Fast Wi-Fi, plenty of outlets, and a calm atmosphere that's perfect for remote work or a quiet afternoon.
Host your next meeting, birthday, or book club. Our space adapts to whatever your group needs.
When the sun sets, the cocktails flow. Live music on weekends and a crowd that feels like family.
My go-to spot for morning coffee and weekend cocktails. The atmosphere is unmatched — feels like a second living room.
Best latte in the city, hands down. And the pastries? Impossibly fresh. I bring clients here whenever I need to impress.
The transition from café to bar is seamless. Same great energy, just with better music and stronger drinks after dark.
