“I’ve lived in the valley for the past 12 years, and Share has become my favorite coffee shop. Kind staff, a simple but delicious coffee menu with high quality espresso drinks and great in-house pastries. Combine with a light and airy interior and a great patio. So happy to have this here. Some parking behind the shop, about as much as you can hope for in Amherst.“

“My dad and I ate here last night before a show at Academy Music. Akasia was our server and we loved her. Our food was the best meal we have ever had together in all of our foodie ventures and we wish it was closer so we could go back. The steak tips were cut in house and resembled filet. The scallops were so good we got a second order. The salad was delicate but really great. My dad got the salmon and he is very picky on salmon, but it was incredible and he was delighted we made the choice to go there. I wish the oysters on the half shell were bigger, but the rest made up for it. My dad is in a wheelchair and everyone was super accommodating. Akasia was on point and knew we had a time crunch and accommodated that and also took some nice photos of us together. Great mock-tails and atmosphere was a 10. Hopefully one day soon we can make it back.“

“My husband and I try to visit the Delaney House at least once a year. We went last night to celebrate our 6 year anniversary. Our server, Cali M, was great. She was experienced enough as a server to know to ask us if we were celebrating anything, and made it that much more special by bringing us complimentary glasses of delicious champagne. She had the perfect balance between checking in on us while not being over-bearing or making us feel rushed. The food, as always, was a 10/10 and we even tried new cocktails which were delicious. One of our favorite spots!“

“Went to Yankee Candle then needed to eat! This place was a little over a mile away . What a gold mine!! Easy to get to .. great parking!

I order the Commodore Sandwich.. one of their signature ones!“

“My mom brought me out for my birthday yesterday and the food and service was exceptional. I got the Shrimp Alfredo with fettuccine and it was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. My Mom got a Grilled Chicken Salad and it was huge and buried with tons of chicken. My grandmother got a Steak and Cheese Grinder and the cheese pull was fantastic and it tasted amazing. We all opted for the stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer which were absolutely delicious, although I wish they were larger. Our waitress was a nice young lady who was fabulous. All in all it was a great dining experience. 9/10“

“Me and my wife love going to this place, we talk to the owner every time we are there and he makes every effort to make the perfect grilled cheese.

I myself love the classic American, and my wife loves pretty much anything on the menu. He has a wide range of items not just grill cheese.

Gets a full 5 stars from us.“

“Nice course, great shape, beautiful views great price.“

“Very happy with old Smith Voc! Majored in Plumbing shop, those teachers are the best! The academic education is very good especially for a tech school. The vocational and tech skills are very useful and teach work ethic through co-op apprenticeships, campus work, habitat-for-humanity work, etc. College is valuable, but it isn’t necessarily for everyone nor does it lead to a career in today’s economy. Trade skills are the way to go and America needs to stop shaming people for“
