We sat down with Vinnie Infante, owner of Lion’s Den Coffee in Southington, to talk about his inspiring journey from longtime Bristol police officer to local small‑business success story. Rooted in his Sicilian and Italian heritage, Vinnie shared how Lion’s Den was built around more than just great coffee. It’s about culture, quality, and bringing people together. From authentic Italian espresso traditions and house made pastries to carefully sourced ingredients and small batch roasted coffee, every detail reflects his commitment to excellence.
Vinnie also spoke about Lion’s Den’s role as a true community hub, welcoming everyone from students and families to business owners and first responders, while continually giving back through local schools, sports teams, and community initiatives. With big goals for the future, Lion’s Den Coffee is proud to call Southington home, and we loved highlighting a local business built by the community, for the community.
