“Fresh, delicious food catered for our family get together. Erin & team were so helpful & made our day special.“

“We brought three generations to Special Teas to fulfill my mother’s wish to have tea with her daughters and granddaughter. It was a lovely way to spend a fall afternoon. The service was fantastic and staff were very attentive. The variety in teas allowed everyone in our group the opportunity to experience unique tea flavors. The food and desserts were phenomenally delicious and traditional and paired well with the tea fare. Thank you for giving us a wonderful afternoon and a memory that will last a lifetime.“

“delicious breakfast portions, wonderful prices“

“Best bread, hands down. Every time I go I try something different and so far everything has been delicious, healthy 7 grains, traditional French, Irish soda bread (both traditional and white chocolate cranberry were amazing!) all different kinds of muffins and their scones! I had biscotti today and that was so good! And everyone work there are always nice and friendly, I feel so lucky to have this little gem near me!“

“What an oasis. We stopped by today and could not believe what a hidden gem we found. Wonderful selection of coffee, baked goods, grilled sandwiches... everything we had tasted fresh, a tomato soup was absolutely fabulous as well as 2 different types of muffins we had. My favorite is cinnamon. ? They offer coffee, T-shirts, hoodies and mugs too. Music is so calming and lovely that you feel like being somewhere at the beach. And the staff were so good!! Helpful, smily and nice.“

“Went there for late breakfast. Was a little busy but the wait time was not excessive. Friendly staff and the food was great. We were just visiting MA but recommended to my friends already.

Parking: We parked at the nearby lot, probably illegally, at the local library. A short walk.“

“My wife and I took our 3 year old daughter to check out this new coffee shop after it came up in a Google search. Let me say I had not met the couple that owns the shop before today, and yet I have never felt so invested in wanting to see a new shop succeed as much as I did this one! The owners are a lovely young couple, extremely friendly, and accommodating. They love what they do and it shows in the quality of the food. I ordered the Pi (egg sandwich) and a cold brew coffee. Both were excellent. They roast their own coffee beans and it had just the right amount of roasted coffee flavor. There were a dozen other things I wanted to try, including the creme brulee cheescake, the baklava cheese cake, and the Greek pies. My wife got a hot coffee with almond milk, mocha and peppermint. I like my coffee creamy, and this was the first coffee with almond milk that tasted good to me. I have found my new favorite coffee shop in the area. Whatever you're doing, drop it and visit Coffee & Pi now!“

“First time at First Bite today for brunch - everything we ordered was excellent. Our new favorite breakfast spot. Flights of waffles, pancakes and french-toast, eggs-benedict (Irish) with corned beef hash and what had to be a homemade english muffin, bagel breakfast egg & cheese sandwich and junior breakfast with CRISPY BACON - they asked how you want it regular or crispy. Love THAT. And the hollandaise sauce spot on! Great coffees too.“

“Excellent food and staff.“

“I highly recommend stopping into Up Hill Nutrition!!! They have the best Waffles on Fridays and the best energy liftoff Teas!! The atmosphere is welcoming and cozy. The team behind the bar are always happy and take the time to say hello. Great place to hangout with friends and catch up! 😊“

“The bagels are made fresh daily. They sell day old bagels for a discounted price. The eggs are not microwaved, and the meat for the sandwiches are not microwaved either. Everything is made on a short order grill. I drive 30 mins out of my way to have someone ride do it right. I have not found a place within Worcester County that does it this good.

Parking: Big lot with drive through!

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps. You can ambulate on in here.“

“The best place I love it and the people that work there to very professional tooo 🙏🙏❤️❤️“

“Finally got to the Melody Maker this morning, and I’m so mad that it took me this long! Zach (spelling?) was welcoming and cheerful. I ordered two bagel sandwiches, an iced chai and a black iced coffee. Everything was made fresh and reasonably fast! The vibe is amazing, with lots of local art and crafts for sale. My bagel sandwich (the mozzarella Vespa) was EXCELLENT and my chai was delicious. We will be returning soon!“

“amazing breakfast specials. came from out of town. if I ever go to Boston again I will come here. I was. never dissappointed with anything. everything was visually appealing.“

“Just oversaw my 3rd high tea event at this lovely, charming cafe and, all 27 of my guests had a fabulous time! The petit sandwiches, homemade scones and delectable desserts are so, so delicious, and so very filling! Many tea choices too! Great place for a baby or bridal shower, birthday party, company event, etc…. Also, breakfast and lunch on some days during the week. Lots of parking and right on Main St in Hudson. Come see for yourself! You won’t be disappointed 🎉🥳“

“Unfortunately, we'll be taking a break from VinBin... We've loved this place since we moved here 6 years ago, but the last few months our experience continues to go down and today solidified our decision.

Since we started getting sandwiches from the cafe everything has always been delicious! High quality ingredients, and always super tasty! However, the last few months several of our orders have been made incorrectly and today one of our sandwiches came with a rubber band melted into the sandwich... While the ingredients continue to be extremely high quality, the service creation and delivery has declined drastically.

I hope things will turn back around!“

“Not much to say but they were excellent. We didn't have to wait for coffee refills, food didn't take long at all to come out and the server was wonderful to us. Oh atm on site they only take cash.

Parking: Parking in front and behind the building where they have another entrance.“

“Sandwiches are inventive and delicious. Ordering ahead is a game changer as there are always long lines. The spicy cuban, and crazy caprese are two favorites. Never had a bad sandwich! And they have a great selection of wines, spirits, and Poppi!“

“I went for the first time, even though I didn’t care for what I ordered, I will go back again! ( I tried something new) The two people working were very friendly. They made every effort when I told them I didn’t care for my meal. I ended up with bagel and cream cheese that was really. My friend had a blt, she loved it. It’s comfy and nicely decorated.“

“Love this place! Karen and staff are always so friendly and kind when you walk in. Cute shop, feels like home. Shakes and teas are made with care and if anything need fixing Karen is always on top of it! Great flavors, and a nice stop in Grafton.“

“We ordered the Turkey Avocado bacon Sandwhich with squash soup and the grilled cheese with a chicken noodle soup.The turkey Sandwhich was really good along with the squash soup,the squash soup was very sweet though,it must have sugar in it,when we make homemade squash soup it's not sweet at all,but more natural,still worth ordering though,the grilled cheese looked good as well,defiantly worth checking Panara bread out

Vegetarian options: For dietary ask how much sugar is in the Squash soup“

“I love starting my day here everyday! Peter and his staff are so kind. They know my order by heart at this point which makes my day even easier! The coffee and breakfast sandwiches are delicious! Can’t recommend MSBF enough!“

“I work construction right down the street and around the corner and needed a quick eat to bite. I saw this place on maps and went to check it out. There was no one inside but the two ladies working in the kitchen behind the counter. One of them asked me what can she get for me and made me an egg sandwich right there. Great service, great food, I highly recommend.“

“love their selection of ice creams and toppings and not to forget their coffees are good too!!“

“Emma’s Cafe is an amazing place to enjoy great food in a cozy & friendly atmosphere. 10/10“

“Friendly folks, delicious goodies, fabulous musical guests!“

“Denise and her team just catered my wedding this past Saturday. We are so beyond pleased with everything. Presentation was splendid. Our guests loved the food (especially the crab cakes!) and there was plenty of food to ensure everyone was full. And then the dessert was utterly over-the-top. My grandmother, who hardly ever indulges in sweets, ate about 10 blueberry tarts. The macarons (my #1 request) were all delicious. Beyond everything, the reason to work with Elm’s Cafe is because of Denise. She was a delight to work with- relaxed, attentive, detail-oriented. She made sure my vision came to life and went out of her way to help us.“
