The Purple Carrot Bread Company

Met some friends there today and turns out it's a great spot to sit and chat. Food was excellent - had an avocado toast caprese style. And a nice hot tea. Service was excellent even though it was really busy. The woman who worked the counter had a nice positive friendly attitude throughout our time there. The staff helped me out of a jam when I left something there - they went above and beyond for me. Many thanks - love this place! ⭐️

Happy to see this place have a storefront, have yet to get any bad bread or pastry from them in the last five years that I've been eating their food! There is no such thing as a bad choice here.

I love this place! But they're specials and coffees are not available through door dash, which stinks. They also just got rid of the BEST sandwich they had, the only thing I ordered, the hipster grilled cheese! What am I supposed to do for lunch now :(
They are very good though, check em out

I ran inside to order something quick before work cause no one was in there and I had 40 minutes to spare. got avacado toast…people were showing up ordering and getting food before me… I was about to say somthing then the lady sees me and realizes she forgot to call my order the entire time. Took about 35 minutes for some toast…Then I go out to my car and of course I have a 25$ ticket 🥲. I’m leaving 5 star cause the toast was great and the lady at the front seemed exhausted but wasn’t the best first experience 😂

Love their soups

This was my first visit to this place, and I tried their turkey Avocado panini. It was absolutely delicious. The crunchiness was just right, and the ingredients tasted fresh and of high quality. I will definitely be ordering from here more often.

Went to the Haverhill Farmer’s Market and saw this amazing loaf of kalamata olive and rosemary bread. It is as amazing as it looks and sounds. This is coming from someone who isn’t normally a bread fan. I’m sure the rest of their breads are just as good.

The asiago and black pepper bread is amazing!! Highly recommended.

This is a woefully underrated establishment. It's a fantastic spot for a quick lunch and to pick up some goodies and breads.First of all, they make amazing bread here. There's a bunch of varieties, and all of them are fantastic.(You can buy it in store and at farmers' markets)Second, they use this amazing bread to make amazing sandwiches. These are high-end sandwiches at normal prices, a great value.Third, they make take and bake items that are perfect for when you don't want to cook. The baked potato soup is a 10.Oh yeah....and fantastic treats like brownies, cookie, and croissants.Definitely a place that I recommend.

I heard about this cafe and was excited to check it out, thinking I may have found a new place to hang out and get coffee downtown. When I entered the first thing I noticed was the lack of music or anything a typical cafe would make sure to include for the sake of ambience or a semi-pleasant environment. I sat at the couch near the window, where my sister pointed out this sign. I don't even know where to start with this, read the attached image for yourself..... first off, what makes the owner think a sign like this would be good for their business?? it's genuinely one of the most unprofessional things I have seen in my life. the message made us extremely uncomfortable as my sister and I are both "young people". It created a hostile environment, and made me feel unwelcome in the cafe. The language in the sign is unbelievably condescending; the whole thing is awfully specific and seems like a matter that should be settled one-on-one rather than aired out to all your clientele. Also, how on earth do you expect to gain customers when you shame people for wanting to sit in your cafe? You do know what a cafe typically is, right? If you don't want people to sit, make it into a diner style place. It is so incredibly out of touch to blame young people for your business failing when 1. you're located between a highschool and a college and 2. your REAL issue is due to your own financial irresponsibility, not some teenagers hoping to use your wifi. The real kicker is this: the sign says you want people to buy something in order to sit in the cafe, but then the menu says you will change the prices at any time WITHOUT NOTICE. I didn't take a photo of that but believe me I was shocked. Not everyone can afford to buy something, especially if your menu isn't even accurate. Anyways, all of these factors have ruined the establishment for me and I will not be returning; it's a shame, because the location is great.
