Coffee Shops near Hampden

“These bagels are delicious. I heard about this hidden mom and pop bagel place via Facebook stay local page. I checked them out and bought 6. Today I went back and bought a dozen. A dollar a bagel is great and some were still warm when I got home. Husband loved them also. Staff were friendly. Support your mom and pop places versus chain stores.“

“Coffee and brunch and a relaxing corner shop“

“A lifelong Townie here, resistant to anything new. Finally went inside and glad I did! Best ice coffee ever and delicious toasted bagel, I was taken care of by really nice staff as well,! My new go to place in morning - highly recommend“

“Friendly staff, great coffee and FRESH food options! My new go-to!“

“I was recommended this spot for great food and coffee and they definitely delivered. Chicken avocado was delicious, the chicken was especially great quality. Got a dirty chai, the espresso was smooth and balanced. Not a ton of seating and it was obvious other patrons were overstaying without drinks or food but it’s a cozy place, can’t necessarily blame them. Looking forward to coming back and finding a spot“

“Hands down the best cafe in the area! Authentic-Italian family owned coffee shop located in the cute town of Wilbraham! Owners work hard to provide quality food to the community. From their amazing sandwiches with fantastic homemade bread to the most delicious artsy pastries baked in house! Highly recommend you try the vanilla cardomom latte! Grab a seat with a friend and hang out while you’re there, the vibe is lovely!“

“I come to this Dunkin all the time to use the wifi for school work, Today I came in they greeted me not even - 1 second as I walked in the door. My food came out in under a minute, the donuts were fresh and my coffee was amazing. Megan I think who is the manager made it quick and accurately. Good job Guys!“

“Probably one of the better Dunkin' Donuts in the area. Coffee is always made perfect and the staff are always super friendly (except one guy who works the drive thru, he just seems miserable all the time.) Just please stop microwaving your bagel sandwiches whole, it makes the bagel completely inedible and impossible to chew.“

“I absolutely love the coffee just wish they had some vegan options for baked goods!“

“We stopped into Stand Out Nutrition for the first time yesterday, and everything was soooo good! My bf and I each had a shake and a Lit tea, and we both enjoyed every single delicious sip!! Everyone at Stand Out Nutrition is so friendly and professional, and we both felt very welcomed and comfortable coming in our first time. So happy that we stopped in, and we'll be back very very soon. 😊🤩“

“Love that place“

“Best job ever they always getting things correct. Service is impeccable, polite, kind, and caring.“

“We went to order a drink for my daughter 5 minutes before closing and the barista was kind enough to give it to her for free! He was very polite at the drive thru, as well. Someone give him a raise!“

“My review of the Page Blvd DD centers on two associates: Taleesha and Nicole. They found my Samsung Active 6 cell phone which I lost on 12 23 while walking nearby the night before. They saved the phone and Taleesha returned a call to a friend of mine trying to get in touch with me. Once I replaced the phone, I was back on line and saw my friends text. I then called the number and Taleesha called me back. I picked up the phone yesterday and left a small appreciation for each. It wasn't the phone, per se; but my contact info and irreplaceable pictures that were SO valuable to me. I wish I could have been more generous... I've learned a very good lesson and have taken precautions with the new phone. My wife has now upgraded to the recovered device. ALL GOOD thanks to Taleesha and Nicole! These are two very honest young ladies and I hope their manager sees this review and recognizes them for their good work. #grateful“

“The crew is very patient and caring. Also they care about the details. I especially appreciate the fact that they put the label for different sizes of straws, save time for customers and they are the only one who has that throughout the nation. No kidding, this DD deserves 5 stars.“

“Out of all Dunkin’s this on truly stands above the rest. My life was changed at this Dunkin. From the excellent high quality food. To the kindness of the employees. Their worker Dylan truly showed me that Dunkin goes beyond serving donuts, but serves each person who comes in an unforgettable experience. It’s more than food it’s a connection between people. I learned trust from this Dunkin and how to be a better person. Thank you the Dunkin of Wilbraham rd for showing what the food serve industry can be at its best.“

“I always love visiting my friends at Elite Nutrition! I can talk for hours and hours with them without even looking at the time! They’re so welcoming and genuine to their customers, including myself :)

Kid-friendliness: They have drinks for adults and kids! They have a lot of options for everyone :)

Parking: Easy parking lot to park in :)“

“Big THANK YOU to Dylan today for your patience and understanding while serving my son with a recently discovered food allergy. Your kindness is much appreciated as our family figures out what he is able to ingest. You have no idea how much this meant to me.“

“Everyone knows about McDonald’s, but have you ever heard the story of how Ray Kroc stole the brand from the McDonald brothers—and why McDonald’s is one of the biggest real estate companies in the world?

The McDonald brothers, Richard and Maurice, created a revolutionary fast-food system in San Bernardino, California, in the 1940s. Their efficient “Speedee Service System” turned out burgers, fries, and shakes faster than anyone imagined. Enter Ray Kroc, a milkshake machine salesman who saw their concept and dreamed of nationwide expansion. Kroc struck a deal to franchise their idea, but the brothers, wary of overreach, kept control of their original location.

Kroc, however, had other plans. Frustrated by the brothers’ cautious approach, he opened his own company, McDonald’s Corporation, and eventually bought them out for $2.7 million in 1961. But here’s the kicker: the McDonald brothers didn’t own the land under their flagship restaurant. Kroc refused to give them royalties and built a rival McDonald’s across the street, forcing them out of business.

Today, Kroc’s vision thrives not just on selling burgers but on owning prime real estate globally. McDonald’s rents its locations to franchisees, making it a massive real estate empire disguised as a fast-food chain—an ironic twist to a tale of ambition, betrayal, and unparalleled success.“

“A really good Dunkin! A little out of my way, but worth it. The restaurant was really clean, as was the exterior. Service was quick by a very pleasant young woman! The latte was perfect and the donuts were plentiful and fresh! Absolutely no complaints! This will be my go-to Dunkin from now on.“
