“YUP Coffee Roasters is the best hidden gem in Florence & Northampton. Excellent coffee and the barista, Molly, is fabulous! It is family owned and operated and this family are some of the nicest people on the planet! FIVE PLUS STARS!“

“The Zen Frog offers a delightful mix of housewares, coffees, and teas. While the pastries could be fresher, the ambiance is elevated by live music nights and rejuvenating reiki/tai chi sessions, making it a haven for relaxation and enjoyment.“

“My favorite coffee shop in the area if I need good wifi, sunny ambiance, and a creative drink. They have a solid selection of pastries and light snacks (including items from Vegan Pizzaland/Coffee Counter after 10am), but don't expect to get a full meal. Love being able to roll dice while waiting for a drink, and you can even buy the good ones that give nat 20s 🧙‍♂“

“Just gotta go. 🚁☎️🚌“

“Really nice place. Def come back“

“My wife and I are in town (from Birmingham) for graduation at Smith, and the sandwiches, coffee and staff were fabulous!“

“We're from Wisconsin and had breakfast March 31 in your restaurant. I wish I could remember our waitress' name, but she was delightful. I had the (canned)corned beef hash omelet and loved it. I've never seen an omelet shaped the way you serve it, but again it was terrific on looks alone! You folks do a marvelous job.“

“Delicious food and good prices. I come here with my grandma at least once a month on a Sunday. Food comes out very quick and is always amazing- large portions and delicious. Absolutely love they have chicken sausage as a meat option as most sausages contain pork!

Not only do they have amazing dine-in options but their take out is just as tasty! Their pastry case always looks and tastes wonderful! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing, delicious breakfast and lunch!“

“Great menu & excellent service!“

“Erica is super nice, the shakes are delicious. I really enjoyed my experience here!“

“my favorite refuel pitstop after hot yoga!! Their teas and smoothies are delicious, refreshing, and filling. The owner is super sweet and I come just as much for the good conversation and unique environment as I do for the tasty treats. 10/10!!“

“We stayed in Northampton for six days, and this coffee shop became our morning go-to. The coffee was great, and my daughter had to try at least seven different desserts—each one was delicious. Lovely atmosphere and definitely worth a visit. We will come back next year 💕💕💕“

“The best meals I have had since moving to WMA have been at Toasted! Not fancy but fresh and really good quality, like they care about the food. The place is cute with a great vibe and really nice staff.“

“My favorite place to have a latte & relax. It's also my go-to when I need a special gift.“

“I was having a somewhat mediocre experience at the UMass Campus Rec until a strapping young employee named Justin swiped my ucard in order for me to return my rental lock, and told me "Have a nice day" with a smile. His handsome face and perfectly quaffed hair made my day! Five stars for UMass Campus Rec, SIX stars for Justin the employee!“

“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!“

“They have so much quality food. They pre-made sandwiches, they have grinders, macaroni and cheese, pizza, quesadillas, a cafe. They have soup and a salad bar, they have lovely desserts, too. This is my favorite place to use my dining dollars and it is open late. It's fairly quiet at night and is good for studying. If you live near there they have Grab n Go in the morning, too.“

“Best bubble tea in western mass!! High quality not fake or cheap tasting fruit tea and milk teas. They use real strawberrys in the strawberry match tea too.*****They have soy milk option for people who are lactose intolerant*****The boba and popping boba are higher quality than some other shops.“

“SO good. the dill cream cheese was amazing, i added it to the american sandwich. pretty fair prices too for the quality…other shops like this hike the price up to $20 for a coffee and a sandwhich but my order came out to about $14. wish i lived closer!“

“Great relaxing cafe that you order at the front counter. Parking in back and was free spots available on the street. Lots of tables with old photo’s of Holyoke on the walls. I ordered the veggie omelette with a choice of cheeses. Was large and filled with onions, mushrooms, peppers, and lots of spinach. Came wirh potatoes and toast. Coffee served in a styrofoam cup which I wish they had mugs. I saw a few high chairs for kids. Easy relaxing cafe to hang out. They make their own cupcakes which looked great and had different flavors. Other bakery items as well.“

“si la quieren pasar bien visiten el mambo es la que hayyyy“

“well my experience, I went there on Sun,.it was noon .there was one woman who I guess was the waitress. I sat down expecting maybe a menu,.20 minutes when by and she never came over., there was only one other person there who left after a short time, So I finally sat at the counter, she whet past me at least 6 times and totally ignored me, passing a few feet from me. never even looking my way. I saw a menu on the counter and read it,..only a few options,.so after a few more passes, I just left. I don't think I will come back as I went out of my way to get there.“

“Maple bonfire latte ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Hubby and I love dining on the patio of the Coolidge Park Cafe at the Hotel Northampton at least once or twice a season. Normally the food is good, just good. But last night it was stellar. Hubby had the pan seared wild caught salmon over polenta with fried Brussels sprouts and I had the pan seared wild caught scallops over mushroom risotto and asparagus spears. Everything was absolutely delicious. I haven't had a decent scallop in years, but these really tasted of scallops and the sea with a great texture. The risotto was so rich and mushroomy I can see I'm going to have to make a special broth and buy a bunch of mushrooms to try making one myself. We shared the lemon tart which also knocked our socks off. The server was equally stellar, thoroughly professional and delightful at the same time. We'll be back before snow flies for sure!

Parking: There is plenty of free parking behind and next to the hotel.“

“Mary, Avy, and Autumn were incredibly welcoming and attentive, setting a warm tone from the moment we arrived. We had a truly delicious breakfast, with smooth, well balanced coffee and toast topped with almond butter, banana, and honey that had just the right crunch and bite. We genuinely enjoyed the entire breakfast experience and would happily return.“

“Panera is a known quantity. The food is decent. A few observations.
-If you order on the screen, it tells you to pick up your self service drink cup and get started while you are waiting. You won't see the cup until your order is ready.
-The feta cheese in every feta containing item is the low quality cow's milk feta. Fortunately you won't get so much of it that it becomes offensive. (said by someone who truly does not care for domestic feta and loves the real sheep/goat-milk genuine feta)“
