“In the middle of tiny Bernardston, this is a cute little bakery. They serve excellent drip coffee to go (no cappuccinos or the like). The bakery is first class - we sampled an almond croissant, blueberry scone, a small cupcake and a tiny cheesecake (all much too good). You can see the immaculate bakery at work from the counter through a large glass window. They sell some clothing and local produce like maple syrup as well. Worth a stop.“
“The prices were way too high. I paid over 12 dollars with tip for a normal sausage egg and cheese on sour dough, and the only reason it was sour dough was because they don't bagels to which would have helped with the price. Or they could give you something with it even if the coffee could have been a side. But that was my only gripe.Wheelchair accessibility: It is not wheelchair friendly.“
“This spot was a happy pleasant surprise. If you're looking for a hearty American breakfast, this is not your spot, and that is a very good thing. Instead of the usual truck stop or diner fare, Upper Bend offers a carefully curated selection of delicious alternatives and artful spins on the usual breakfast menu.I had a latte and maple toast. My hubs had the monkfish toast, and we split a slab of basque cheesecake because, well, we were feeling decadent for brekkies.The latte was excellent, bold and strong, but smooth. The maple toast was perfect, because it was simple: crisp crust, soft center, and a solid maple flavor that was pleasantly not sticky sweet. The monkfish toast was amazing, like a reimagined lox bagel. The bread, pickled onions and greens all brought different levels of crunch, with the cream cheese adding a slightly sour base and the monkfish bringing a buttery mouth-feel.I don't regret getting the basque cheesecake at all. It was delicious. The center was light and custardy, while the outer edge had a more spongy cake texture, almost like two desserts in one. And it was lightly sweetened, not the instant diabetes norm for cheesecakes these days. Perfect.I'll definitely be back to nibble my way through the rest of the menu.“
“Wow! I am very impressed with the quality of the baking. They have upped their game since first opened. They are at the level of French bakery. My favorite place in Western Mass! The almond croissant and the pistachio chocolate croissant are to die for!“
“Truly one of the best breakfast/sandwich shops in the area. I used to live in Amherst around 7 years ago and miss this place so much but got to stop in this weekend after a long hiatus. The breakfast sandwiches on a roll are so satisfying and the matcha is really tasty. Almost everything here is. Don’t skip the baked goods. And go look at their salt and pepper shaker collection.“
“Quick efficient service that provides carefully crafted hot beverages and hearty breafast goods within a cozy comfortable spaceParking: Bridge street is often busy so a close spot is not often open but just across the street there is usually a spot or two in the lot behind the shops“
“The negative reviews of this place are wrong as wrong could be. This place is a gem. There is something very special about this spot. Good quality ingredients, masterful chef, elegant and classy service, all packed into a quaint little cabin feel in the heart of incredibly scenic millers falls Massachusetts. I wouldn't doubt if travelers came from across the world just to see this place.“
“Just had my first meal from here and I couldn't be happier! Ordered pickup and it was ready quickly, the staff was friendly upon walking in, and the place is clean! One of the ladies there literally made my day, hyped up my outfit and hair and I must say I needed that today!! Excited to say I found a regular lunch spot ?“
“Having just returned from a trip to Costa Rica a week ago, I was missing that flavor. Located in the Cowls District in North Amherst, Cisco's satisfied my cravings! I had the Tipica 503 and my wife had the breakfast burrito with homemade tomatada salsa. Both were outstanding! I texted my travel companions immediately to let them know about this place. The burrito was plentiful, and topped with cheese. The 503 plate of eggs, chourica, beans, avocado, toast, and FRIED PLANTAINS was delightful! Everything came out hot and you can tell the food is fresh. As this is on our route from home to NH, we will be coming regularly this summer!“
“We had breakfast and their omelettes are a real treat. I had a blueberry pancake that filled the plate. Wonderful baked goods! I had a giant peanut butter chocolate chip cookie which was fantastic. Service was excellent. The atmosphere is "updated garage" type feel.“
“The Lady Killigrew Cafe offers a serene escape with its beautiful waterfall backdrop, perfect for lazy afternoons or relaxed Sundays. While the food simple, the quality ingredients shine through, making it a pleasant stop for a casual bite.“
“We've been a couple of times to Bittersweet Bakery, and our party of three or four have always been happy. Today we came maybe half an hour before they closed, and they were super nice about letting us know that they will be locking the door at closing time while we are there, but we were told that we shouldn't feel rushed. Our food has been excellent every time we've gone. Very fresh ingredients and really nice breakfast sandwiches. I vow to try one of the coffees if I get there earlier in the day ... It's a lovely place with some unusual food and coffees and ... quite frankly ... if we are nice to the behind-the-counter workers, they are always nice to us. Not gonna gripe about the prices (after all, I'm the one who decided to COME TO THIS PLACE) ... all I know is it's a nice place that's a little different from the other places I like for food/coffee in the area. I'm glad they're here, and I seem to have no problem getting along with the people who are working here -- they seem pretty nice to me.“
