Great shop! Love the wide windows and high top tables facing them. Very pretty and not overwhelming inside!The cortado was one of the best I've ever had, fruity, complex, flavorful, and Soo espressoey!The drip was alright. Advertised as a light roast but tasted a little burnt/baggy.Didn't get to try any of the food but it all looks (and smells 🤤) great.Got a bag of decaf I'm excited to try at home!Staff was very friendly too :D

Nothing special on my coffee just the fancy name Maple cardamom iced latte. Coffee to strong and almost burnt flavor to even taste the other things. The scone was definitely not fresh and it tasted "flourly" couldn't really taste the cinnamon. Just another overpriced coffee shop. Place was quiet enough to sit down to study or work.

The coffee here is good, the pastries are just okay. It's pretty basic and unremarkable in every way, but a fine option for coffee if you are in town.

Wish I had never purchased anything, baristas were more interested in talking to each other and their friends. I paid $5.25 for a latte. I'd get better service at Dunkin donuts.

After five visits over six months (relatives in the area who don’t drink coffee). It’s become abundantly clear that it’s not just a one off bad morning…. Every time I leave the place I’ve got a bad taste in my mouth from the staff. Espresso drinks are mids at best for a $18k machine and a $6 latte with incorrectly steamed milk. Will be buying a hand grinder and V60 to avoid this place while visiting the area.🤘I hope the owners take the immense amount of feedback on google because a good cup of coffee served with intention can make someone’s morning, and this town needs that!

Good coffee but regularly sells day-old baked goods (without indication) at regular price....includes croissants, lol This all started when they changed ownership. Has only gotten worse. Avoid the stuff from the bakery (Tart in NoHo).... Also, the overall google rating is skewed up by the good reviews from before the new ownership. Beware! Try Upper Bend in Turners

Easily the best coffee in western mass. They have rotating adventurous drink specials, a few I've tried is salted maple shaken coffee, rose milk and cardamom latte, and a panela (unrefined Mexican sugar) iced latte and they've all been awesome. You can't go wrong with a regular black coffee either.

Since new ownership has taken over the quality of the product has gone down. I only get a latte when the last remaining person from old ownership is there. The old owners took the time to train the baristas, now someone starts and within days they are making watery, high priced lattes. Willing to pay the price for a quality product. You can tell the difference when you pick up your cup and that’s just sad. The beauty of the shop was the care of the product. Now sped trumps quality. Had been going to this shop daily since it opened. With new ownership, I go about once a month. I make my coffee at home now. Hope the new owners read this and take it to heart. I know I am not the only regular who now is not so regular! I would love to come back but the quality does not warrant the price! And sadly this town does not have an alternative. If I wanted a substandard latte I would be going to other independent coffee shop in town. Oh wait, the other shop bought this one.......

Not a coffee person, but their holiday specials (have to look for the menu) were so great with the pastries! My favorite were the almond and Nutella ones, it’s a must stop if you travel north for ski trip or anything. Hard to find another coffee shop with such yummy pastries on the road. Not to mention the price was super reasonable!

Have gone here for years. Good strong coffee, nice chai and super friendlyBaristas, but since their Tartt bakery staff turned over in Northampton awhile back, baked goods are fairly awful. Suggest Rise Above across the street in Greenfield for excellent pastries and bread.

Very friendly staff and a decent selection of sweet pastry. It is a converted space in an old building, so acoustics are not great: it can get pretty noisy. On the plus side it's equipped with an industrial quality air conditioning system, so if you like to feel breeze on your face wherever you sit, this place is perfect.

Had a wonderful experience while passing thru the state this morning. This jewel of a coffee shop knows how to serve a latte straight up European style, no sugar bombs like the American chains, paired with a ham and cheese croissant. Made me feel like I was back in France... The latte art has room for improvement... But the rich espresso and smoothly frothed milk supersedes the art in this review by far! ☕️☺️

Very aestheticly pleasing. Wasn't happy with my order (tried something new) and the barista gave me a different drink free of charge. Great service and great coffee. I really enjoyed the espresso roast and they have plenty of space in there. Doesn't feel crowded even when a lot of people are in there.

Some of the best handled coffee around, but it can be a bit stuffy in there. I don't mean air quality, more they want the appeal of a fancy Euro Cafe, and that sometimes feels like it bleeds into a somewhat judgy atmosphere, if the barista or (more likely) other clientele assumes a lack of coffee culture awareness.I absolutely love their espresso machine though, it is a gorgeous centerpiece, and pulls consistently good shots of espresso.

They know how to make a cappuccino the way you want it.

Lovely, spare interior. Usually some jazz plays quietly in the background. Nice atmosphere to talk with friends, or relax or work by yourself at tables or counters. It has a good basic menu of coffee, espressos, lattes and cappuccinos. It doesn't have fancier beverages a la Starbucks. The service is typical neutral New England: not friendly, but not rude. It's one of my favorite cafes around here.

Best coffee and service in the area! Such a kind and friendly staff. Also, the only shop open for delicious cappuccino before work! This is an excellent place—reliable, clean, great quality, location, and price!

Corner coffee shop! Hang out read a book or just relax for a moment! Cute little outside table and chairs for your enjoyment!

Why is this place so expensive? Realized why when I found out it’s all owned by the same greedy people who own Shelburne falls. However this location is exceptionally bad because they lack any of the specials or flavor options. You’ll pay 7$ for a matcha that tastes like garage and the baristas will be rude to you the whole time.

I loved this place, the coffee was good and had a lot of choices, at first I was a little suprised that the only available food is a grilled cheese, but after ordering it and enjoying it so much I've realized they don't need anything else on the menu. The sandwich is a lovely pannini style grilled cheese served with a grainy mustard sauce, tasted like it had a hint of wasabi in it! The girl who was working was very nice and had great taste in music as well, which only added to the experience
