“Her cookies are PHENOMENAL!!! We chanced upon them at Tanglewood with my boyfriend and his family since there was a farmers market right at the parking lot before you enter the concert area. Loved them so much we bought one packet of each kind. Probably some of the best oatmeal cookies I've ever had.“

“Thank you for the GORGEOUS cake!! Greggory kindly didn’t laugh at me for coming in half an hour before closing last night looking for a birthday treat. I was planning to just pick up some cupcakes or whatever he had left, but he was kind enough to make me a custom cake instead! It’s lemon cake with raspberry filling, and a gorgeous buttercream frosting. Sooooo delicious! And he went out of his way to make it beautiful, and still had it for next day. I’m so delighted with it. 😀 Highly recommend his shop for all your pastry needs! Also, definitely try the Russian tea cakes!“

“We always love to discover new, wonderful patisseries when we travel. Tart Baking Co is delightful! They have delicious strong coffee! We loved our cappuccinos! ☕️ the croissants ? were great! They have amazing Pain Au Raisin and Monkey Bread ? The sandwiches looked delicious! Service was quick, polite and laid back. Very cool vibe! Only a few tables and no dedicated parking. Street parking was easy and you can use an app to pay. No bathroom on premises. Delightful bakery!“

“I had the "tank" sandwich today at the Ciesluk’s Market 55c North Main Street So. Deerfield. I was pretty great :)“

“The GF waffles were out of this world... soft and fluffy. I'm very sensitive to gluten cross- contamination, and it was reassuring to me that the staff person was knowledgeable and asked me if I had a gluten allergy and needed separate preparation for my order. They also are taking COVID precautions seriously. They are requiring proof of vaccination in order to dine in (this is clearly posted inside and outside of restaurant), and while at my table I overheard a staff person asking an unmasked person to put on a mask. Could not have had a more enjoyable experience... sad I don't live in the area!“

“Vanilla latte. Or vanilla black tea“

“This is one of the best spots in NorthHampton, Massachusetts, definitely has the freshest ingredients and I’ve been all over Northampton restaurants. Mediterranean salad is worth every penny they put a lot of ingredients in it. Everything is fresh and crisp and it’s actually very big salad. Their sandwiches are spot on, desserts are delicious snd beautiful, The one thing I like about this place is I get service with a smile sometimes that’s missing in restaurants today and Cafe but not here. You can tell that everybody likes working there. They look very happy I didn’t go in July 2025 I go as much as I can.!!“

“second time there, and there will be a third, fourth, fifth cetera cetera...☕“
