“I notice you don’t post any of the food you serve to the schools cause I have pictures and these are not them“

“Not sure why it’s taken so long for me to do a review, as I’ve been coming here for a few years now. I come here at least 1-2x a week.The food is always creative, delicious and fresh. When I want quality food fast, this is my absolute go to. I haven’t had one bad selection yet. To top it off, the employees are super friendly! The location is great and convenient. Only thing I’ll say is, I wish they were open longer!!! :) Otherwise, this place is great in my opinion.“

“I was early an hour and 20 minutes for my 12 o'clock. Appointment and I didn't have a breakfast, so I happen to spot this right around the corner, and I have to say, I've had the best onion, bagel sausage, egg and cheese, sandwich that I've had. In a long, long time and home fries were really good too. The staff was wicked friendly and I felt very comfortable in there.I would recommend it 😎👍“

“The panini here are SO good! It is clear that the on-site owners really care about quality ingredients and their customers. There are various levels of Parma ham depending on your palate and budget. The sandwiches are generous and can be shared. It is a tiny shop with several standing tables, so this is not a place to relax while dining. The brownies are to die for and often sell out, so get there early & make sure to get a latte. There is a nice selection of Italian products for purchase.“

“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!“

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

“One of the best breakfasts I’ve had. Not greasy and the omelet was the best I’ve had. Don’t miss out on this cafe.“

“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.“

“Nice little coffee place. The coffee it self is kinda w.e and just pretty sure its pot coffee. The baked goods and sandwich are where its at and better quality then I expected.

They dont have espresso, which I thought was odd but its only a small gripe.

Plenty of parking and enough seating for about 20 people.“

“Love the shakes, mega teas and my kids are obsessed with the refreshers!“

“I just started working in the area back in June and had Debby’s before my interview and I was instantly hooked! The flavors are always fun and delicious and Debby is always friendly and engaging. Debby’s is a part of my weekly routine and I’d go every day if I my schedule allowed. As a coffee lover I highly recommend and can’t think of a better way to start the day! Thanks Debby!“

“Hybrid service here. Place your order and prepay at the register, then they bring you your food to whichevertable you've chosen. I had a quality omelette that was gigantic and tasty. The home fries are decent, but taste like every other restaurant that gets them frozen from Sysco, though they were perfectly cooked, unlike some other places I've been. The food came out quickly and piping hot.“

“I love EVERYTHING they make!! Great people!!“

“the best matcha i have ever tried !!!! they also offer hojicha and vietnamese coffee. rotating menu with different flavors.

it took me an hr to go there but it’s definitely the thing im looking forward to every Sunday. hope they will open again soon 😭🥹“

“Anna's food feelings like mom's home cooking. She knows exactly how I like my food and remembers me everyday. She greets me like an old friend. She always makes sure I am fed and is very aware of my allergies. I will always recommend this place.“

“I have been a customer of Red Barn for over 25 years it is not only close to my home it is my "go to" spot for my morning Latte or my afternoon Ice Coffee. The Pastry case is always filled with yummy fresh goodies and i am always greeted with a smile...4 Stars\n“

“Best breakfast around!! 🥞🧇“

“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 🎉🥳“

“AMAZING. I enjoy the Paninis and Flatbreads and my location serves Starbucks which is a plus!“

“Everyone here is so friendly, they are like family. The food is delicious and not processed nonsense stuff like some places have..and the coffee is good too, if your a chocolate person like me, I recommend the Iced Mocha Cappuccino I get it every time, I could never get sick of it.“

“Awesome breakfast and lunches, they treat you like family. Highly recommend.“

“delicious breakfast portions, wonderful prices“

“My husband and I drove 30 mins to visit this sandwich shop with our baby and we didn’t check the hours. They stop serving food at 3 pm and the ladies graciously let us get sandwiches. We are so appreciative of the service but EVEN MORE THE SANDWICHES!!!!

Oh my, these sandwiches are sooo good. My husband got the chipotle blt and I got the chicken ridiculous! My goodness, they are seriously so fresh and sooo flavorful! Highly recommend this spot!!!!!“

“We were in the area and decided to stop by for “brunch”. Portions were large, food was fresh and delicious.“

“I went in for the first time today after looking for a good, healthy alternative to chain lunch spots like sweetgreen and cava. Mike was nice, helpful, and very knowledgeable. I ordered the creamsicle, which is vanilla protein and mango. The tea was Chai with clementine aloe. I asked Mike what flavor aloe would go well with chai (I first thought none of the flavors would pair well with chai) and he said he prefers clementine, or I could go with mango. He also said he likes the hot version over the iced, so I went with that, and was happy I went with Mike's suggestions. I felt full 3/4 of the way drinking my smoothie, so I know I will be full for a few hours. It is a good full feeling, not overly full or heavy. Also, the tea provided me with some much needed energy. Reasonable prices, especially when you compare to other lunch spots. I will definitely be going back to Heart City Health Cafe for sure! This is a great, healthy lunch option, so I am happy I came across it!“

“I always get food from here and coffees. From my favorites; souffles, chicken Frontega, salads, caramelized latte and my new FAVORITE - Their Hot Chai latte!!!! So goooddd! Can't beat their Chai latte (or lattes in general).

The staff are also nice, I don't know the gentleman's name but he's always at the front (taking orders and checking out). He's patient and very nice.“

“I loved Red Barn! Their coffee is great and there is outdoor seating.“

“Absolutely wonderful experience! Staff were so kind. The food tasted so fresh and yummy. The scenery was bright and comfortable. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great, healthy meal.“

“amazing food always and super nice people“

“I haven’t visited a Nordstrom Cafe in around 10 years, but was pleasantly surprised to see that everything was as spectacular as ever. The food was easily better than most other dining options in the area, it’s definitely not a spot that should be overlooked! They also had great gluten free options and took my allergy very seriously. 10/10“

“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 love the food here. The iced coffee and teas are great too. 😋🍕☕🍵🥤“

“Great coffee and yummy pastries!“

“Delicious breakfast and the best diner coffee. The staff are nice and helpful and always have a smile on their faces. Clean and wonderful diner experience all around!!!!“

“Tiny, comfortable dining area. Friendly & helpful staff. The soups, sandwiches, paninis, salads & wraps are all delicious. Theweekly specials offer additional variety. The breads and baked goods are yummy. They offer coffee, tea, and espresso drinks. A lovely place to have lunch when in the Northborough area.“

“What a fantastic gem of a restaurant.
The cute decor and homey feel was perfect. We arrived on a Saturday at 10:30am and it was packed, yet we only waited 7 min.
The waiter was very personable.
The Chocolate Chaud tastes like a melted fudge bar.
We had the potato leek soup, le burger with pork belly, crepes(arrived cold) and berries and duck potatoes(omg melt in your mouth).
I LOVE duck and it is very hard to find. Everything was phenomenal.
So why only 4 stars?
My one complaint. I got crepes and added strawberries. I expected to pay the $2. for berries. But they charged me an extra $1.85 for syrup! Not real Vermont syrup, but bottled syrup. There was maybe 2 tablespoons of syrup in the small metal container I was given.
I'm a chef at a breakfast restaurant. Syrup is a condiment. They don't charge for ketchup, so why syrup? And almost $2?! I could see if it was real syrup as an upgrade or something. I don't mind paying the high prices for the food as the quality was amazing. Worth it for the $27 burger! The soup? Some of the best potato leek we've ever had. But the nickel and diming just left us a bit disappointed after paying $6 for 6oz of OJ.“

“Went to coffee Haven for the first time today! The pastries looked amazing, the latte and dirty chai we got come out so good! Would reccomend to anyone who wants a tasty quick and healther breakfast alternative to fast food. The staff was so lovely!“

“Please support this local business. Cozy ambiance and delicious food and drink.“

“Got the Chickpea Fritter Platter and absolutely loved it! As a college student, it can be really hard sometimes to find places with good healthy food that doesn't break the bank! I’m happy to say the platter was reasonably priced since it comes with enough stuff to make two meals out of it, and it is absolutely delicious and healthy!“

“Hands down the best beans we've ever had. We discovered Karma at Whole Foods in '23 and have since switched to buying bags directly from them at their wonderful shop in Sudbury. We buy several bags on each visit and will not buy beans anywhere else...ever. If for some reason they're going out of business, we'll fund them to stay in business, they're that good.“

“I drive here from two towns away most mornings for breakfast. Food is fresh (excellent omelets), service is always friendly and the place is always clean and welcoming.“

“I would recommend the food is wonderful, usually the service is good! Almost always! Two weeks ago I was here and the girl that was at the register left the register because she was under pressure because supposedly I ordered too many things! She walked away crying if you can’t handle the pressure don’t work somewhere! I asked if you was upset with me I ordered you pick 2 cream of broccoli soup one turkey bravo half of sandwich a cup of iced coffee and some chicken for my dog one orange scone! So what’s the problem! I don’t know today when I went back to Panera bread the girl with the yellow nails was so nice to me, she is a great worker, but come to find out, the nice Brazilian girl in the kitchen said you complains last time and you made the girl cry I said how did I complain I never complained! Maybe she was just having a bad day but not because of me! I felt kind of off guard when I went to pick up my food, So again if you can’t handle the pressure don’t work at Panera bread! It’s my money and I spend it where I want to spend it I work hard for it so Customer is always right I wasn’t rude I was always pleasant every time I come here or anywhere I go me and my service dog! I like an apology from Panera bread this is a palling very disturbing! If I ask for something extra I pay extra for it bottom line the customers always right, if you want them to return! Treat them well, & leave your problems at home don’t bring them to work with you blaming others that your upset with them when in fact it’s something else that’s going on in your life! I did not treat her badly at all! For the record the rest of the staff is very nice, but when the girl started crying of course I felt very bad for her I thought someone died in her family or something no one told me that she was upset with me! Course I feel still feel bad for the poor girl maybe somethings happening in her life that she took it out on me on the customer don’t bring your problems to work! I hope that the manager talks to the girl to comfort her what ever she is upset with! But I know it was not me!“

“Great iced coffee, bagels and caesar wraps!“

“Stayed here for about two hours in between business meetings. Product is just what I've come to expect. Good coffee. My only complaint was there was a cold breeze in the lobby even though the doors were closed. Probably coming from the HVAC and it didn't matter where I sat, the cold air was moving pretty good. After a while I was able to ignore it. There was barely anyone inside, so maybe the HVAC is set to a setting expecting more people inside putting off body heat, which is typical for many Starbucks.“

“We love going to Panera and this one is the best! Super clean and the staff is friendly. Can’t wait to get back there.“

“My wife and I go to Panera all the time, all over the place. We just came back from 3000 mile road trip where we looked for every Panera we could and got the chipotle chicken avocado melt every time. We can tell you that this particular Panera has the BEST chipotle chicken avocado melt.“

“This place looks a little underwhelming and slightly run down from the outside, but please don't let the exterior dissuade you. The interior is modern, clean and the Brazilian food inside looks and tasted amazing. I had the mixtos special sandwich. It was huge.. it had a whole chicken cutlet, ham, bacon, a poached egg and lovely gooey melted cheese on top. And to add some texture they add potato sticks and corn. It was ready in about 8 minutes. And I loved the combo. The prices are reasonable and I skipped my lunch after eating this sandwich! Give this place a try. The bakery was happening too and I bought a few chocolate covered cream puffs to go.“

“Love this place. Been here many times, will be many more. The price/quality ratio is very serviceable. Obviously scale your expectations to what the place is: a smallish bakery/lunch haunt off of a busy busy road. If you do that, Miranda Bread will blow you away??‍♀️“
