Came across this rustic cafe, and the food was delicious. Our server was super friendly. They start your meal off with a little basket of blueberry scones, Biscuits, and cinnamon sugar doughnut holes with homemade apple dipping sauce. This place has the feeling of an older dinner.

Loved the healthy options and all day brunch. The turkey burger was the best I have had in a very long time! The crabby patty benedict was also delicious!

Went here recently for some delicious treats and wow we were blown away. Everything here is incredible. It was hard to decide what was our favorite. But their chocolate chip cookies were out of this world. And the service was so kind and attentive and helpful. This is a true gem in Amherst, NH that is worth the trip, no matter how far away you are!

Alright, so this review is in no way a reflection of the restaurant- just the bakery area. We have stopped in here about 10 times in the last two years. I’ve come to the conclusion that this place just doesn’t have good products. The breads are dense and dry, the pasta is overcooked, the wraps lack flavor overall. The cronuts are good, but that is literally the only thing that is good. The people have always been attentive and friendly, no issues with anyone there. The food just doesn’t meet our expectations, unfortunately.

Usually I stop at the cafe for their delicious cronuts & pastries but decided to dine-in this time and boy was it worth it. This hidden gem offers a wide range of brunch options including the classics. Service was friendly and quick, highly recommend giving their sit-down restaurant a try.

Went there for breakfast Sunday mid-morning. We picked this place over our other breakfast place option as it is closer to our house, wrong decision. Walked in to a dingy run-down dining room. The drop ceiling tiles are all stained and I could see bare insulation sticking out of the air vent directly above my head. The atmosphere definitely suffers due to the interior decorating, it’s weird. On to the food. Ordered a veggie omelette with no mushrooms. Came with mushrooms and a crazy amount of cheese. Like 70 percent of it was cheese. I didn’t finish it. My partner got over medium eggs and they came out over easy. Also the bacon was flavorless, tasted like lard. The only real good part of the breakfast was the tray of free mini scones and biscuits. Oh, and both times I’ve been to the cafe area months apart the espresso machine is broken. Sheesh. Will not be going back

Easily can be 5 Stars for me if they make more Gluten free vegan options available. Currently only option is the red pepper hummus wrap that is both GF and Vegan. There may be a salad that you can veganize as well but it’d be nice to see a few more options be GF Vegan without having to customize. I did hear they have something in the works on the bakery side so that was great to hear.

Great meal, a little short staffed unfortunately today. The really bad thing is that they are discontinuing their homemade ketchup which I love. Maybe they will start offering it as an option at extra cost on their menu? It really makes a difference it is fantastic ketchup.
