“Picture this: New Year’s Day. I’m surrounded by hungover individuals at my friend’s house (I was the DD all night). I must brave the cold walk to my car if I want to take a shower. As I am driving down the road, I see the sparkling oasis of THE Amherst Dunkin' Donuts. I am greeted at the microphone with arguably the best experience I have EVER had:

“SALUTATIONS! YOUR DUNKIN EXPERIENCE AWAITS!”

Now- I’ve been told to wait before. I’ve worked in customer service, so I get it. But this guy knows show business. He had that sparkle, that passion for customer service you only see once in a blue moon.

“THANK YOU FOR BEING PATIENT. IT IS TIME TO BEGIN THE ORDERING ADVENTURE!”

We are off to a fantastic start. I order a refresher and an old fashioned donut. Side note, my refresher is PERFECT. I am aware my donut choice is not for everyone, but this guy knew how to commit to the bit,

“ AH! A donut from the 1800’s for you.”

Listen, I’m already cracking up. I can barely hold it together. I drive up to the window, expecting to meet some sort of riddle master who wants to bargain for my first born. Get this guy a freaking award! In fact, make him audition for SNL.

I am greeted with the sweetest man who takes my card and gives me my food. It was not the same guy who took my order, as he was a bit more subdued in nature, but it is clear this crew works seamlessly together. I am pleased as punch to start the new year off so whimsically!

Thank you to the Dunkin’ crew that made my food this morning. You guys ROCK! Happy New Year!“

“The most delicious coffee with a variety of offerings. They have something for everyone, great service, and delicious food. Highly recommend!“

“Happy surprise finding the hilltop cafe today. Great farm to table experience, highly recommended!“

“Very accommodating and kind even when I forgot to mention an allergy and had to get the bowl remade, so special shoutout to staff working on 02/01/2026! Bowels are always amazing and service is always fast. Also always has the best music playing!“

“I enjoyed the window seat 🪑,Wi-Fi, the pastry I had to wash down my coffee ☕ and how the inside looks! I liked my medium roast coffee. It was the first 🥇 cup from a freshly made pot and it was piping hot 🔥. I have had similar tasting coffees at other cafes and restaurants and this is not a negative. I lost my receipt 🧾 from my order and I cannot remember the name 📛 of my pastry. It was a thick croissant 🥐 style with brown 🟤 sugar on the outside. It had a word for Queen 👑 in its name. It tasted good 👍!
Quiet contemporary music 🎵 played though it was interrupted by loud 🔊 whistling. It became really busy around 🕙 ten but the staff were able to keep up. Friendly service!
If you want a good cafe to visit, a place to work on your laptop 💻, enjoy your book and on a nice day, sit outside with a table, I recommend a visit!
Exploring Milford and its history I am more and more enjoying! It is very scenic when the colors are emerging in Spring 🌼 and the Pumpkin Festival 🎎 is a lot of fun!
Extra thanks 👍 for being open late and letting me in even though the door 🚪 even though it was locked 🔐 during the Pumpkin Festival! The hot chocolate, which had a heart on the top 🔝, with the doughnut hit the spot on a chilly evening.
Update: September 2026; The Pumpkin Bread Muffin was very good 👍! The chocolate chips were a pleasure. The regular latte needed a little more flavor but I enjoyed the picture on the froth!
I learned that the building was once several businesses and that a wall was removed for the cafe. Long before that it was a telephone 📞 exchange. There is antique phone equipment on one of the walls .
Everyone was friendly and I recommend a visit!“

“a cute little spot with a nice view, friendly staff, and tasty food“

“A few things. 1. They make extraordinarily good baked goods, just really fantastic. Incredibly thoughtful service, and a welcoming environment. 2. Really wonderful people. I like them a lot and it’s so clear that they care and that they are present and focused each day. 3. If you dislike them solely based on what you think their politics are…. you’re the problem. Get over yourself and accept that it takes a lot of different ideas to keep this world moving.“

“amazing. I went and got a non dairy smoothie this morning and it was great. the lady at the window was super sweet“

“It could use a face lift, or a paint job or art covering up whatever came off the walls, maybe some cable management behind the menu monitors. The coffee is good the donuts are okay, I'm not a personal fan of cruffin style donuts or muffins. So not many items I personally like, but many options for many tastes and the bacon maple bagel is delicious 😋🤤“

“Wonderful space with delicious matcha !“

“I just stopped here for food on my way out to a friend's house. I was running a tad late and even though it was already 4:00 they agreed to make food for me. I am very grateful as I was headed to do cleaning and projects for a friend who is having a risky pregnancy. I was also buying food for her. Thank you so much for going above and beyond. You all rock!“

“We stopped in for lattes after our hike to Wildcat Falls. We ended up getting lunch too. No pastries, but now I wish I had. Service was top notch, and the baristas very pleasant. Food was excellent. Pricey, but worth it, as a special after hike treat.“

“Their glazed donut is the best donut I’ve ever had. Holy smokes. Try this place.“

“Absolutely fantastic, ,super fresh and yummy,“

“Had a big order. They got everything correct and had it ready when we got there. Delicious bagels, cream cheeses and coffee drinks! Will be back!“

“I stopped in this morning for a coffee and a donut, they made my coffee perfectly and the donut was so much better than Dunkin'. It's definitely not fancy but exceeded all my expectations. I regret how many times I drove without giving it a shot before now.“

“We discovered this amazing coffee on a trip to New England earlier this year and it’s become our absolute favorite. We have tried dozens of flavors now and each one is smooth and uniquely flavorful. Our favorites so far are maple bacon, Jamaican me crazy, egg nog, hot toddy, silver & gold, and peppermint stick, although I’m sure we’ll find many more favorites the more we try! We’d love additional recommendations cause there’s just so many to choose from we don’t want to miss the best ones!!! Thank you for the care and attention to detail you put into every bag of coffee and K-cup (your variety packs make for excellent Christmas gifts!).“

“Danielle was extremely generous with offering flexible menu choices while remaining mindful of our budget for our catered event. The Gathering Grounds highly recommends The Cozy Tea Cart not only for their delicious offerings and excellent service, but for their neighborly support and welcoming hospitality!“

“It is a beautiful Great place to sit down with friends, Family, relatives and everything above. This is for everyone to enjoy Snacks, Come for a nice cold or warm Beverage. There is also an beautiful outside porch out in the back with a couch and table and tables. So you can enjoy your time being outdoors with snacks, Beverages and so on. Plenty of space inside with tables as well. It is also a gift shop with a lot of gifts to give For the Holidays. Thanksgiving, Christmas, new Years Eve, 4th of july and, nice warm house gifts and birthday’s so on. I really recommend it and it is a safe place and a safe environment for all of you to enjoy. You are more then welcome to donate as many as you can.“

“I don’t know who trained these baristas, but they’ve clearly formed some unholy pact with caffeine deities. Every time I try to quit, they smile at me like I’m a long-lost friend and hand me a drink that tastes like emotional stability. Rude.

Let’s talk about the vibes: peaceful indie playlist, comfy chairs, and the scent of toasted ambition wafting through the air. Disgusting. I come here to suffer in peace, NOT accidentally heal.

And DON’T get me started on the drinks. I ordered something I couldn’t pronounce — it tasted like cinnamon, nostalgia, and bad decisions I didn’t regret. My wallet cried, but my soul said thank you.

Also: who told them to be so nice? I’m trying to be moody and mysterious, and they’re over here remembering my name and how I like my oat milk frothed “just a little on the hotter side”

Honestly, zero stars for making me feel seen and caffeinated.

Would not recommend… unless you like joy with a profound sense of belonging.“

“The service is amazing at this store!! Everyone is so polite and is always smiling. The drinks are so yummy and if you are not sure what you want. They will always take time to explain different drinks to you. Love them!!“

“I want to give a SHOT OUT to the Dunkin Donuts @ 42 Daniel Webster Highway. There is only one person who is working there today. It is a young kid, that is doing a wonderful job and is doing it professionally and with a smile too. Sorry, I didn't get his name but I think he deserves a raise!“

“By far the best Starbucks around!! they are the only ones who can make our drinks correct and they are always super friendly.“

“Everytime I swing in here I get this bright blue eyed Barista, that looks phenomenal!! I think seeing her wakes me up more than the coffee I get. She and her other co workers seem to be killing it so please appreciate them and there hard work.“

“The staff here is amazing! All very nice people! I had some fraudulent charges hit my venmo account. So my card didn't have enough to cover my order, and my car was having mechanical problems in the parking lot.. rough day to say the least..? and the staff brought my order out to me in the parking lot anyways. It's not often you see acts of kindness like that, and it was greatly appreciated ?“

“Inside Market Basket grocery store is a nice cafe with an open 50 chair seating area (high & low chairs) with 2 TVs and restrooms. You can hear the registers and customers chatting. Not a typical cafe atmosphere.the selection of tea and specialty coffee drinks is nice. They also have Market Basket bakery and fresh popcorn.The staff are very friendly and helpful.The prices are low and the WIFI is very good.overall a great place to stop off while shopping.“

“We always have THE BEST service at this location. I love that the employees know us, and treat us so well.“

“Always super friendly service with a smile! With so many options for teas, the staff always offers suggestions to fit my taste buds. I love having a cold refreshing tea to end the day and truly love the kind messages the staff adds to your cup.“

“Not a big time reviewer of local chains but the staff was very nice when I went and I hope they get a raise :)“
