Like the kind from the Shining or the Haunting. Driving from NYC to Boston and location is kind of unimportant, just having a craving. Thank you people of Connecticut!

Bass Pro in Bridgeport. Right at the entrance when you walk in.

Like, won’t they look at you weird for going in and sitting down with a coffee and a book in a store or is this an actual cafe section?

(Serious question. Don’t mock me please!)

I’ve seen families take their Christmas photos there. Sitting and reading a book would not be eventful.

Salem cross INN has a fireplace feast, they even cook for you on the fireplace and then you take a sleigh ride. Not quite the same, but still old historic and cool

So I can't say it's floor-to-ceiling, but fireside on main in Plantsville/Southington has a lot of fireplaces and is very quiet from open until about 5 PM. Afterwards it changes to more of a sports bar vibe. Employees are great.

Unfortunately that restaurant is closing. Tomorrow 2/28 will be their last day.

Oxford Baking Co. has a fireplace-Such a cozy spot and have occasional folk players on the weekend.

Don’t know about coffee, but Griswold Inn is the vibe you want.
