“I was early an hour and 20 minutes for my 12 o'clock. Appointment and I didn't have a breakfast, so I happen to spot this right around the corner, and I have to say, I've had the best onion, bagel sausage, egg and cheese, sandwich that I've had. In a long, long time and home fries were really good too. The staff was wicked friendly and I felt very comfortable in there.I would recommend it 😎👍“

“Not sure why it’s taken so long for me to do a review, as I’ve been coming here for a few years now. I come here at least 1-2x a week.The food is always creative, delicious and fresh. When I want quality food fast, this is my absolute go to. I haven’t had one bad selection yet. To top it off, the employees are super friendly! The location is great and convenient. Only thing I’ll say is, I wish they were open longer!!! :) Otherwise, this place is great in my opinion.“

“Excellent food and service, big portions. Relaxing and friendly“

“Truly a hidden gem of Framingham! Very cozy spot, with great coffee and amazing food. I ordered the brazilian “small” plate and was shocked to see how much food was still included, and more importantly, everything was extremely delicious. I’ll be making this a usual spot of mine!“

“I love EVERYTHING they make!! Great people!!“

“Best breakfast around!! 🥞🧇“

“The best coffee and team ever!“

“Just oversaw my 3rd high tea event at this lovely, charming cafe and, all 27 of my guests had a fabulous time! The petit sandwiches, homemade scones and delectable desserts are so, so delicious, and so very filling! Many tea choices too! Great place for a baby or bridal shower, birthday party, company event, etc…. Also, breakfast and lunch on some days during the week. Lots of parking and right on Main St in Hudson. Come see for yourself! You won’t be disappointed 🎉🥳“

“Anna's food feelings like mom's home cooking. She knows exactly how I like my food and remembers me everyday. She greets me like an old friend. She always makes sure I am fed and is very aware of my allergies. I will always recommend this place.“

“Great food and staff. Worth the trip“

“I have had most of the sandwiches they offer and I have not had a bad one yet! Today I went and perhaps there was someone new on the line, I ordered a grandmas meatball and it did not have any basil or garlic aioli on it. Nevertheless it was still delicious and I won’t count that against them. Always super fresh ingredients and the chowder is amazing too!“

“I have been a customer of Red Barn for over 25 years it is not only close to my home it is my "go to" spot for my morning Latte or my afternoon Ice Coffee. The Pastry case is always filled with yummy fresh goodies and i am always greeted with a smile...4 Stars\n“

“Everyone here is so friendly, they are like family. The food is delicious and not processed nonsense stuff like some places have..and the coffee is good too, if your a chocolate person like me, I recommend the Iced Mocha Cappuccino I get it every time, I could never get sick of it.“

“Great food and lovely people“

“AMAZING. I enjoy the Paninis and Flatbreads and my location serves Starbucks which is a plus!“

“I happened to be in this part of Framingham and was looking for something quick and healthy for lunch. I wasn't sure a protein shake and a tea would fill me up, but I was mistaken. I wasn't hungry after. The shake was delicious, and the tea boosted my energy without the negative feeling of a caffeine/sugar buzz that energy sodas give you. Also, the owner, Mike, is very knowledgeable about nutrition and fitness. I've been back twice since discovering it. I can't wait to try more flavors.“

“Absolutely wonderful experience! Staff were so kind. The food tasted so fresh and yummy. The scenery was bright and comfortable. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great, healthy meal.“

“amazing food always and super nice people“

“I love starting my day here everyday! Peter and his staff are so kind. They know my order by heart at this point which makes my day even easier! The coffee and breakfast sandwiches are delicious! Can’t recommend MSBF enough!“

“We were in the area and decided to stop by for “brunch”. Portions were large, food was fresh and delicious.“

“We ordered the Turkey Avocado bacon Sandwhich with squash soup and the grilled cheese with a chicken noodle soup.The turkey Sandwhich was really good along with the squash soup,the squash soup was very sweet though,it must have sugar in it,when we make homemade squash soup it's not sweet at all,but more natural,still worth ordering though,the grilled cheese looked good as well,defiantly worth checking Panara bread out

Vegetarian options: For dietary ask how much sugar is in the Squash soup“

“I loved Red Barn! Their coffee is great and there is outdoor seating.“

“I had lunch with my daughter and we both thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The service was friendly and efficient, and the value was great for the quality.  We each had a cup of the tomato basil soup which comes with the most delicious crostini. Highly recommend it. My daughter had a spicy pasta with a pink sauce, bacon and some vegetables, which was succulent, and I had a lovely salad with grilled chicken. We were too full for dessert. While we did have a reservation, so we didn't wait at all, I think most of the time walk-ins are welcome because this is a café within a department store so people don't stay for very long.“

“There's nothing I can say that can describe how good it is!! The best I've ever had! Run to get it, and the service is so good, they are also donating all leftovers! If you want to enjoy something super amazing and support small business. That's your spot❤️❤️❤️“

“Went to coffee Haven for the first time today! The pastries looked amazing, the latte and dirty chai we got come out so good! Would reccomend to anyone who wants a tasty quick and healther breakfast alternative to fast food. The staff was so lovely!“

“We had a baby shower at the Bagel Table for my daughter. They were so helpful and accommodating! Great food and great service! Friendly people and atmosphere! Thank you!“

“Hands down the best beans we've ever had. We discovered Karma at Whole Foods in '23 and have since switched to buying bags directly from them at their wonderful shop in Sudbury. We buy several bags on each visit and will not buy beans anywhere else...ever. If for some reason they're going out of business, we'll fund them to stay in business, they're that good.“

“Food was executed mostly well, only some of roasted chicken a bit dried out & old and there was very little chicken on one sandwich. (Maybe 1oz max)
Tables and floor were clean.
Most of booths had one person camped in a four person booth, there all day with outside food and beverages. (And a messy/dirty)
Drink area is well maintained.“

“Good good and service at this location“

“Please support this local business. Cozy ambiance and delicious food and drink.“

“Got the Chickpea Fritter Platter and absolutely loved it! As a college student, it can be really hard sometimes to find places with good healthy food that doesn't break the bank! I’m happy to say the platter was reasonably priced since it comes with enough stuff to make two meals out of it, and it is absolutely delicious and healthy!“

“I would recommend the food is wonderful, usually the service is good! Almost always! Two weeks ago I was here and the girl that was at the register left the register because she was under pressure because supposedly I ordered too many things! She walked away crying if you can’t handle the pressure don’t work somewhere! I asked if you was upset with me I ordered you pick 2 cream of broccoli soup one turkey bravo half of sandwich a cup of iced coffee and some chicken for my dog one orange scone! So what’s the problem! I don’t know today when I went back to Panera bread the girl with the yellow nails was so nice to me, she is a great worker, but come to find out, the nice Brazilian girl in the kitchen said you complains last time and you made the girl cry I said how did I complain I never complained! Maybe she was just having a bad day but not because of me! I felt kind of off guard when I went to pick up my food, So again if you can’t handle the pressure don’t work at Panera bread! It’s my money and I spend it where I want to spend it I work hard for it so Customer is always right I wasn’t rude I was always pleasant every time I come here or anywhere I go me and my service dog! I like an apology from Panera bread this is a palling very disturbing! If I ask for something extra I pay extra for it bottom line the customers always right, if you want them to return! Treat them well, & leave your problems at home don’t bring them to work with you blaming others that your upset with them when in fact it’s something else that’s going on in your life! I did not treat her badly at all! For the record the rest of the staff is very nice, but when the girl started crying of course I felt very bad for her I thought someone died in her family or something no one told me that she was upset with me! Course I feel still feel bad for the poor girl maybe somethings happening in her life that she took it out on me on the customer don’t bring your problems to work! I hope that the manager talks to the girl to comfort her what ever she is upset with! But I know it was not me!“

“Love the fresh produce, they have the best corn and The Farmer’s Porch is amazing. Always one of our favorite spots in the fall!“

“delicioso 😋 😋 😋 😋 😋 😋 😋 👉🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“Stayed here for about two hours in between business meetings. Product is just what I've come to expect. Good coffee. My only complaint was there was a cold breeze in the lobby even though the doors were closed. Probably coming from the HVAC and it didn't matter where I sat, the cold air was moving pretty good. After a while I was able to ignore it. There was barely anyone inside, so maybe the HVAC is set to a setting expecting more people inside putting off body heat, which is typical for many Starbucks.“

“My wife and I go to Panera all the time, all over the place. We just came back from 3000 mile road trip where we looked for every Panera we could and got the chipotle chicken avocado melt every time. We can tell you that this particular Panera has the BEST chipotle chicken avocado melt.“

“Miranda is a charming Brazilian spot with a unique atmosphere. Although the staff didn’t speak English, they were incredibly helpful, and I was able to order the Miranda breakfast sandwich, which I absolutely loved. The flavors were authentic and delicious—definitely a memorable experience!“

“Love this place. Been here many times, will be many more. The price/quality ratio is very serviceable. Obviously scale your expectations to what the place is: a smallish bakery/lunch haunt off of a busy busy road. If you do that, Miranda Bread will blow you away??‍♀️“
