32 Best Cafes near South Hadley

“When we visited, they were absolutely slammed, two people making sandwiches on a Wednesday afternoon, and they killed it. There were 9 people in front of us and we waited about 12 mins for sandwiches. We got an Italian and The Lumberjack. Lumberjack is a delightfully bizarre combo of spicy chicken fingies, tomato, bacon, cucumber, and honey mustard. The bacon seemed to be purchased cooked, and I wish the cucumbers were sliced thinner, but it was a fun and original sandwich. Kind, quick service, and super reasonable prices for giant sandwiches.“

“Drove up from New York (signed the board) for my 5 year old grand daughter's recital. Food was really good and the people were very nice. will definitely be back!“

“This bakery used to be fab. It's now expensive and the quality is fine but it's really not special. it's gone way down hill except for the prices, they have stayed up. Don't go. you won't get sick, but you'll feel cheated“

“Great owners, care about us customers as we care about them..!“

“Of all the businesses in the Northampton area, I think Pie Bar is my #1 favorite. Everything is perfect: the savory and sweet offerings, the full espresso menu, the indoor and outdoor ambiance, the kindness of the employees, the proximity to the beloved bike path. Pie Bar is the place that makes me feel luckiest to live here, and I hope it stays forever.

Also, the ham and cheese rolls are genius.“

“Made the 40 minute trip to check this place out! I was inspired by a TikTok of the "bucket of coffee"...had to try it! Great coffee, great breakfast sandwiches and friendly staff!! Have been twice now and will definitely be back!!!“

“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.“

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

“I love this place and apparently so does everyone else!! The only downside is that it's always crowded. The wait is definitely worth it. The sandwiches are so good and fresh and there is a wide selection of baked goods and desserts to choose from. If you ask anyone in northampton where to get lunch they will suggest Woodstar.“

“large choice for breakfast. great pancakes“

“Ordered food for an event of about 40 people Will was great to work with for ordering Excellent food Dessert platter is phenomenal Many many compliments on quality of food Highly recommend!!!“

“Ben made a beautiful hot latte just the way I like it! Love this place❤️❤️“

“Eat is easily my favorite restaurant to dine! If you’re looking for great quality food at a reasonable price with a plethora of daily specials to keep it fun, this is definitely your place to go! Whenever I have the chance to have lunch with someone new, it is my go-to place. The menu is super inclusive whether you are vegan, vegetarian, or an omnivore. 10/10 EVERY TIME. I appreciate their professionalism and thoughtfulness, as well!“

“A solid 4 cafe. The servers are incredibly friendly and attentive. I found the two people there the day I went to be super polite. You order at the counter to take out or they serve you at a table with numbers.

I have a gluten and it’s doable here but very little variety. You can get an omelette. On the bright side, the meat lovers omelette is one of the best I’ve had! I guess they usually offer gf bread for toast or a sandwich but didn’t have it this day.

The home fries appeared excellent but unfortunately they tasted “off”. My husband figured out that it was cooked in old rancid oil. It unfortunately ruined my meal. Even just a few bites.

I’m going to assume this was a one off bad experience. The coffee was good and there was a lot of variety. Plenty of parking. And the place had plenty of seating this day. I would say I cautiously recommend this establishment.“

“Love this place! The food brings me back to my childhood in PR, and the staff's warm and courteous service is very welcoming. They offer a great variety on items I'm interested in such as gifts with inspiring messages, modest clothing for women and men, and accessories that fit my style. Their caramel iced coffees are delicious! Great environment to wind down during lunch break...overall a place I would recommend to friends and family.“

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

“If you’re anywhere in the area, this little unassuming cafe is an absolute must.To start, Laura—who it seems typically opens in the morning—had my order memorized like I was a years-long regular after just a single visit. I waltzed in just after opening (7:05), hoping not to be “that guy” that walks in super early while she’s trying to do her side work. She assured me that all was good, and that I was more than welcome. She virtually started making my breakfast before I even ordered. Wow.Next, the food. The FOOD. The COFFEE. Some of the best savory all-American comfort breakfast food I’ve had, genuinely. I’m a coffee snob, and I like mine on the sweeter side. They nail it with their caramel lattes (at least Laura does).The atmosphere is a very warm-toned rustic feel, so it almost comes off as if you’re sitting in someone’s living room. At the center of the room is a few sofas and a table, to boot.Again, if you’re anywhere near VS&C, pop on in. You won’t regret it.“

“This food is fire. Shout out to the baker. And also the people making the drinks. Costumer service is kind and natural. Also Swaggy vibes. (Epic)

Vegetarian options: Just about everything is vegetarian.

Kid-friendliness: Once some preschoolers walked in, and I saw the kern employees give them all free juice. It was very sweet. (And their teacher a coffee)“

“The money was worth it since we got so much from our visit. Next time I may check out the two art museums as well. Parking was close and free, which was a nice bonus. Since Main Street isn't far, there are plenty of restaurants nearby but nothing to eat inside the museums“

“Great time hanging out & playing pool!“

“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.“

“The food was so yummy I forgot to take pictures before we ate our food

I ordered the gravalax toast on sourdough. Was yummy

Then I ordered a side of corn beef hash. It was so yummy!! They make it from scratch in house.

My fiend had the chorizo which she said was excellent. My mom and brother had the eggs Benedict with corn beef hash.

The homemade potatoes with the eggs were perfect!

And the strawberry jam is house made too!
Nathan was our waiter and he was kind and helpful and attentive.

We will definitely come back again!“

“Spotlessly clean, stocked with standard favorite drinks plus lots unique options too. A varied menu of breakfast and lunch options with fresh ingredients and quick prep. Superbly managed, her music playlist makes for a relaxing background and the cappuccino was just how I like it!“

“My husband and I were on interstate 91 and we needed an EV charger. Found marcotte ford. We were there at 11:15 for lunch. My wife ordered a classic cheeseburger and I ordered a tuna melt. Both were amazing. We did go in with low expectations, thinking it was a cafe Inside a ford dealership, it couldn't be that good, boy were we wrong. Chef Tim and chaye take their jobs seriously and it shows. I would highly recommend whether you live in the area and are looking for a great lunch stop or, like us you're traveling looking for an EV charger, this is now our new stop in western massachusetts. Thank you marcotte Ford.“

“Stumbled upon this place while traveling for work. A small, old school homestyle cafe with friendly staff, and typical greasy spoon menu. **Cash only, but I believe they had an ATM inside if needed. Believe my meal was $10, can’t get much for less than that nowadays.“

“Delicious Brunch!!! Nice & Clean Place!!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“my favorite refuel pitstop after hot yoga!! Their teas and smoothies are delicious, refreshing, and filling. The owner is super sweet and I come just as much for the good conversation and unique environment as I do for the tasty treats. 10/10!!“

“Best bubble tea in western mass!! High quality not fake or cheap tasting fruit tea and milk teas. They use real strawberrys in the strawberry match tea too.*****They have soy milk option for people who are lactose intolerant*****The boba and popping boba are higher quality than some other shops.“
