I stopped by Shelburne Falls Coffee Roasters during an early morning pass through Northampton and…read morewas initially a little confused by the name since Shelburne Falls is tucked away in the Berkshires. A quick look at their story cleared it up; this location carries on the legacy of the founders' original coffee-roasting roots. The shop had an inviting, upbeat atmosphere thanks to the friendly baristas and the music filling the room. After ordering, I was directed to a lineup of self-serve coffee carafes featuring everything from dark and medium roasts to Guatemalan, Colombian, and flavored blends. I started with the Guatemalan roast, which was smooth, rich, and full of flavor. Settling in by the large windows with a cup of coffee and *The New York Times* on my phone made for a relaxing way to start the day. The café itself is a nostalgic throwback to the neighborhood coffee houses of the '90s, complete with wooden tables, local artwork, and burlap coffee sacks from around the world displayed like works of art. When I finished my first cup, I went back for a refill and decided to try the Rainbow Blend. That turned out to be the highlight of the visit. It was exceptionally smooth, full-bodied, and remarkably low in acidity, making it easy to savor every sip. I enjoyed it so much that I left with a bag to brew at home. If you're looking for a welcoming coffee shop with excellent drip coffee and a cozy, old-school vibe, Shelburne Falls Coffee Roasters is well worth a stop.

When we went in for a tasting, we had lunch first. The Bbq pork sandwich was one the best sandwiches I've ever had. We also got a tuna melt and a quiche which were both delicious. When Daisy came out with the cupcakes for us to try they were so helpful and I felt so confident that they would make everything run smoothly for delivery and set up at my venue. The cupcakes were beyond any expectation. The lavender cake was delicious, better than any other floral cake I've ever had. My fiancé who is a frosting critic couldn't get enough. I've tried a few other bakeries in the area and this cake blew them away. We are going back tomorrow to pick up more pastries to bring home. While the place itself is small, the staff was incredibly welcoming and it was a very comfortable lunch. Thank you Small Oven!!

This review is for the bread alone because I do not often try their pastries, sandwiches and other…read moreofferings. The bread itself is average to above average depending on the loaf of the day. But its consistently troubling issue is the large amount of flour caked on and baked on the outside of the loaves. They use an extreme amount of flour on the raw dough as a release from their baking baskets, and after the bake they just leave it all stuck to the loaf. When I bring a loaf home I often spend a few minutes smacking it and scraping it over the sink where I dislodge so much raw flour from the outside of the bread. Sometimes there's a rind of undercooked flour cemented to the outside of the loaf. This is wildly unacceptable.

It looks and feels so whimsical with the water from the nearby river flowing, and the trees providing that wonderful shade as the wind blows. This is a perfect place to come to and relax either by yourself or with friends. The coffee here is so good! I had the rose latte and it was one of the best coffee's I've enjoyed in a long time. I also went ahead and bought a pound of their decaf locally roasted coffee for my mom. It's water processed instead of using chemicals to remove the caffeine. She loved it. The shop inside is so beautifully curated you feel as if you're in a museum. If you've ever been to an Anthropologie store, it gives off similar vibes. They offer some local artist goods, a lot of it coming from women owned businesses. Many of these beautiful items come with a hefty price tag though. Overall a great addition to the area, and especially a great place for a cup of Joe.

Many years later (7 years IS many in my book) and who knew I would find myself back at Tandem…read moreBagel. Reading my old review, I was all about the coffee and breakfast sandwiches and that still holds true, but this most recent trip was a big batch of bagels. As a Jersey girl, my standards are high but Tandem met them all once again. We were stopping by family for breakfast so we preordered a variety bag of a dozen bagels. Everything from salt to French toast was in the mix so there was something for everyone. We also got a tub of the plain cream cheese and a tub of the veggie cream cheese, both were gone almost immediately. We (luckily) preordered ahead of time. If you are stopping by on a weekend morning, this is the way to go. It was a madhouse, and I am sure it moves quick, but it was amazing to just pop in, grab our bag and head out. If you're craving a bagel, this seems to be the place to go.

I inquired about it, and when i explained that that was what i really wanted I was told no, i couldn't switch it So, NOT happy- it's customer service it's a BAGEL and they will be closed soon Not cool Tandem ..... not cool at all I'm a local business manager so I'm familiar with customer service in this climate and sometimes, it's worth it to "swap out a bagel" that I would've even paid for...
