“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!“

“I love you guys. That’s my review. Thanks for being the best. Just, fully all around - one of my absolute favorite places, people, coffee, snacks, and vibes since moving to the area.
Don’t change. ❤❤❤“

“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.“

“Just gotta go. 🚁☎️🚌“

“Really nice place. Def come back“

“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 🧙‍♂“

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

“Cute little dine in place near the Yankee Candle in Deerfield MA. It was our monthly girls day we we headed up there to do some shopping and it was the perfect fall weekend. Trees were peak! Stopped in here for breakfast. It's a small place and you order at the counter then sit down. They bring your food to you. It was a bit pricey. The food was good. Not sure why I got a mountain of lettuce with my breakfast tacos lol. Seemed unnecessary. My friend said those pancakes tasted homemade. We're going back up for Xmas so we'll stop back in.“

“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.“

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

“Woodstar Caffe is an absolute pillar of Northampton’s culinary community and a local treasure we must cherish and support. Every single thing they craft is top-notch, and it has become a personal mission of mine to explore their entire menu because standard-setting quality lives in every corner of this beautiful space.

The offerings are exceptional across the board:

Sandwiches: Whether served hot or cold, every sandwich is generously crafted, packed with fresh, healthy, nutritious ingredients, and bursting with vibrant flavor. It is the ultimate wholesome treat to share with someone special or enjoy as a moment of self-care.

Bakery & Coffee: Their fresh pastries are out of this world—from light, flaky croissants to decadent cookies and rich brownies. Paired with a beautifully brewed drink (I am particularly fond of their Caffe Americano), it’s pure comfort.

While it reflects the higher quality of scratch-made food, every bite is worth every penny because you are investing in incredible care, premium ingredients, and true nourishment. Because it is such a beloved spot, the cafe is usually bustling with a steady, lively energy—transactions move at a fast, efficient pace, so just be ready for a quick and friendly counter interaction!

The entire team works with impressive dedication, doing a terrific job keeping the cafe impeccably clean and vibrant despite the constant stream of guests. You can feel the heart and hard work poured into every shift, which is why I love tipping generously whenever I visit.

Woodstar brings so much life, warmth, and vitality to Northampton—please make sure to visit and support this extraordinary local gem!“

“Great menu & excellent service!“

“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!“

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

“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.“
