Great find. Delicious breakfast offerings and great coffee. Try the oatmeal raisin cookies!

I frequently visit this Barriques. The drinks are decent, and the space is ideal for both work and relaxation. It's a go-to spot for casual meet-ups or quiet solo time.

A cute little place to get coffee and food. Staff is consistently rude though. But I like the food.

Modern, rustic, chill coffeehouse with wine & food. Friendly counter service. Every few weeks my girlfriends and I swing by for something after Saturday morning yoga. They have great options. I've been waiting for their orange cranberry scones to be in stock while. But they always have plenty of options. Always a treat to visit Barriques Fitchburg.

I love these people! They're so kind, considerate, and knowledgeable about making great coffee. They have the best scones, hands down.

i’ve given this place a chance multiple times because their coffee and matcha are great but unfortunately every single time the workers always make it seem like you’re an inconvenience for being a customer and that ruins the entire experience.

I order pick-up orders from here all the time, and it's great. Get their app and order from there. It saves a ton of time even if you just order it 5-10 mins before you get to the cafe and you can rack up loyalty points for free stuff.My favs are the sugar river bowl with chicken (extra dressing is a must or the lettuce on the bottom stays quite dry) and the capital city breakfast sandwich (the sriracha-tomato spread is amazing and not super spicy).Their espresso isn't my favorite ever but it's good enough that I have ordered plenty of lattes from here :)

Overall if you are dining in, expect to leave smelling like you have spent the day working in the kitchen. Ventilation is awful, such a shame for a nice place.

This is a cafe that your friends like but you never find anything really good that you like. I'll say that I've been here a few times and I like it less every time. I'm pretty simple. I order a hot chocolate, extra hot, it never comes extra hot. It's nice but never how I ask for it. The food menu is nothing that ever inspires me. The grilled cheese sandwich is not a simple nice simple grilled cheese but over powered by the thick layer of other crud they put on it. Today I ordered a breakfast bowl, the scrambled eggs on top were luke warm to cold. In fact we ordered 2 bowls both were substandard. When you precook and reheat in the microwave you serve a bowl of microwaved mush. My food experience here has always leaned towards dissapointing. Perhaps I can sum it up with this, you can't buy a diet coke or pepsi here either but they will sell you almost any bottle booze you want.

Well, as my first ever time here... I would totally give those two ladies that aided me in trying out your Mocha Frappe w/1 additional shot a 10 out of 10! My drink was very tasty, but I wanted a large and by the price of it, I was NOT expecting such a very mediocre sized cup (I also ordered a large black coffee, which was very much appreciated by my co-worker (VERY HOT!! lol) but she also wondered why a large coffee came in such a small cup).And I would extremely LOVE & APPRECIATE it if you stocked some Friendly Farms (Aldi) Coconut Milk and some organic powdered peanut butter (HyVee has this in their "Natural" section on the west side of their interior)!!! The almond milk did the job pretty well, I just really do not want anything to do with any other milk other than my Friendly Farms Coconut Milk... NOTHING quite compares to it! Hands down the BEST milk alternative on the market in taste and my digestive wellness!!! Silk brand unsweetened coconut milk doesn't do the trick at all for me (I have never found a Silk brand (or any other brand for that matter labeled original or sweetened)... I guess I'm just spoiled by Aldi's brand, it is SOOOO TASTY!!! Plus, with all of the research I've done on milk alternatives, none of the other options are as beneficial to our (MY) body's digestion than coconut milk.The almond milk and oat milk especially have lectins in them which cause many people with digestive issues (like myself - I have IBS) to have unfortunate experiences at unfortunate times!!Oh yeah, I love the fact that you offer a large variety of alcoholic beverages in your Cafe'... but I did not locate any of my favorite premium Anejo Tequila's (I was so glad not to see any Jose Cuervo in there... lol) or another favorite alcoholic beverage in the cooler area (New Belgium's - Voodoo Ranger /Juicy Haze IPA (in bottles only please)). If you're wondering if I'll be back to Barriques Cafe' in Fitchburg, that's a definite possibility. I refuse to give corporations my patronage, when there are great local places like Barriques Cafe' I can help support with my hard-earned money.So, in closing please consider all five of my requests...1. A large cup that actually resembles a large cup.2. Friendly Farms Coconut Milk3. Natural Powdered Peanut Butter for new TASTY and nutritious variations of your current hot and cold beverages to add to your drink options and increased revenue.4. New Belgium's - Voodoo Ranger/Juicy Haze in bottles please (6-pack or whatever you can find room for in your coolers).5. Some other options of smooth Anejo Tequila's with character, that are cheaper than your $189 bottle on your countertop near your baristas. Like "Fortaleza Tequila", or "Espolon Tequila" or these other really tasty options... like "Don Julio Tequila" & "Ocho Plata Tequila". All four Tequila brands I mentioned are top of the line brands that I believe any Tequila lover will appreciate you stocking up on.THANK YOU for all of your time and effort!!! The two ladies that helped me on August 14th, were very kind, quick on the draw, as well as gratuitous & appreciative of my business!! I didn't rate your food as I was only there for a couple of your tasty, caffeinated beverages. Have a great week ladies & gents!!!
