“I highly recommend Joe's Cafe in Northampton for several reasons. First and foremost, they serve the best pizza in town—it's simply unbeatable! The atmosphere at Joe's is welcoming and cozy, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a meal. What truly stands out, though, is the staff; they are incredibly friendly and attentive, always making you feel right at home. If you're looking for an enjoyable dining experience, Joe's Cafe is the place to be!”
“This place is amazing. I was there on the 19th and I apologize for not remembering the bartender's name, she was awesome. I asked for the bartender's choice, she asked a couple of questions I said I wanted something refreshing and she made a Refined Speech that was outstanding. This will be a must stop whenever I'm in Northampton! It's a shame you can only give 5 stars! It's a 10”
“They are always friendly and welcoming, and the sushi is incredible, fresh, diverse and unique.”

“What can I say? This restaurant is an institution. There is no Indian food like it in the United States. Truly authentic and delicious, extremely reasonable prices, perfect ambiance, and wonderfully hospitable. The staff are very kind, personal, and professional. Whether it be Kerala fish curry, puri bhaji from Mumbai, or tandoori chicken, the food covers a vast array of Indian dishes from many regions of the country, with the dinner and lunch buffet alike being plentifully tasty and fulfilling. The atmosphere of the restaurant itself is full of community, with many people, from college students to retirees, coming together to enjoy a feast under its roof. As someone who has a deep appreciation of Indian cuisine, I can honestly say that this is some of the best Indian food you will ever find. There are simply no words to do justice to the experience of eating at Bombay Royale and I could not recommend it more highly.”

“We went for lunch and we were the only diners - we had a fantastic experience! There are labeled vegan options, and the staff were super helpful with answering questions. There's a great beer and wine selection, interesting cocktails, and I do believe that these were the best French fries I've ever had in my life. I look forward to going back!”
“They sell slices of cheese and pepperoni that are super affordable and convenient so close to Smith College. I got a slice of cheese, it’s exactly what I wanted, hot, fresh, and appropriately greasy- it was great.
The staff is super polite.
Great experience, I will be coming back!”
“Not a safe place to sit inside
The drinks and food are pretty good, however I don't feel safe however to sit down and enjoy my beverage inside. Last time I was there I noticed a large group of (possibly ) homeless people doing drugs in the back seating area. I watched this happen multiple times over a 2 hour span and an employee kept walking by and did nothing about it. I had to bring my stuff with me to the bathroom because I was afraid it would get stolen.”
“Great food and exceptional drinks and the best customer service you could get on a busy Friday night. From the wait staff to the owner, who happened to be the one to greeted our party and made it possible for us to have a table during a last minute misunderstanding 😊. we very much plan to return, and will make proper reservation. 😁”

“Yokohama Ramen is one of my favorite food spots. My wife and I have been coming here for years. The food is consistent and the quality has never diminished. The staff are very kind and attentive to the tables. I talk about this place to all my friends and everyone I take there has nothing but good stuff to say after. We will always come back, thank you Yokohama for the many years of amazing food and hospitality. We will 100% be back for more”
“My dad and I ate here last night before a show at Academy Music. Akasia was our server and we loved her. Our food was the best meal we have ever had together in all of our foodie ventures and we wish it was closer so we could go back. The steak tips were cut in house and resembled filet. The scallops were so good we got a second order. The salad was delicate but really great. My dad got the salmon and he is very picky on salmon, but it was incredible and he was delighted we made the choice to go there. I wish the oysters on the half shell were bigger, but the rest made up for it. My dad is in a wheelchair and everyone was super accommodating. Akasia was on point and knew we had a time crunch and accommodated that and also took some nice photos of us together. Great mock-tails and atmosphere was a 10. Hopefully one day soon we can make it back.”
“Absolutely fantastic experience! Recently hosted a birthday party here, and everything was perfect—the atmosphere was warm and inviting, the drinks were amazing, and Kit & Leila went above and beyond to make the night special. Couldn’t have asked for a better spot. Highly recommend!”

“Wow. Hands down the best Chinese food I've ever had. I had no idea it could be this fresh tasting. The owner has very high standards when it comes to freshness and quality ingredients and it shows! Unlike a lot of their competitors, I noticed a lot of people were sitting down to dine in, and I can see why. They are friendly and welcoming and we had a great time. Everyone I know that has eaten here said it's fantastic. I can't wait to come back for another delicious meal.”
“Such a fabulous restaurant. Few things are better than dining outside on their balcony when the weather is nice. The food is exceptional, including the gorgonzola steak which is my favorite steak dish anywhere. The pasta dishes are also great. But what I love most is the helpful and efficient and, importantly, *non-pretentious* attitudes of the staff. That will be refreshing to some who are more used to another Italian restaurant in Northampton, which shall not be named. Mulino's is the best!”

“We arrived in Northampton with a request from my son for a scone, so to Google I went for a coffee shop with scones. Lo and behold Shelburne Falls Coffee Roasters was a four minute walk from our AirBnB! Delicious sunrise smoothies, latte, Americano, breakfast sandwiches, scones and the cherry on top- a rad t shirt to support the Trevor Project! We will definitely be visiting again!”
“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.”
“For a young family with kids, it’s often hard to find friendly waitstaff! We just left there and have to say how great Taylor our waitress was! I’ll leave the longer better review on google :)”
“I’ve eaten here twice, they are very kind and fast service. I can’t wait to eat here again. Namaste 🕉️”
“Excellent cuisine! Perfect atmosphere and the most perfect family to support.”
“As a restaurant professional I say this is one of the BEST brunches I have ever been to. There are pastries, seafood, breakfasts breads, breakfast meats, egg dishes, omlets made to order, carved meats and desserts. Service was prompt and gracious.”
“Spoleto‘s Continues to provide outstanding cuisine. We have been customers since Spoleto was located on the south end of Main Street up to it’s latest iteration next to the railroad station. The food is great, the parking is free, the wait staff are excellent and all is good. Since all good food requires time in preparation when it doesn’t come out of a frozen locker; the wait time can be longer than McDonald’s, however, nothing better than sitting and sipping while waiting. A great New England experience.”
“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.”

“I recently visited my local Chipotle on King St. in Northampton MA, and left not just satisfied with my meal but genuinely impressed by the exceptional service I received from the shift manager and grill employee, both named Josue. They maintained an upbeat attitude, engaging in friendly banter with customers waiting in line. It was evident that they took pride in their work. When I requested a modification to my order due to a dietary restriction, both the shift manager and grill employee took immediate action to ensure my meal was prepared safely and to my satisfaction. Kudos to the shift manager and grill employee for their dedication, kindness, and efficiency.”

“Kinda surprised the rating for this place is low. I’ve had mostly good experiences with them. Just once where no one greeted me for a little while, but the minute my food was ready my name was called. I usually just do mobile ordering, but I wasn’t sure if it was ready or not then. This morning’s experience was great though, greeted right away, friendly employee and each time food has been accurate. Place always looks clean and good too.”
