I've found the perfect place to eat on a perfect day in downtown springfield. It is small, quaint, I can have a damn beer if I want too! But the food is tear-worthy! This is just lunch folks! But it's done right! You get in, you get out. Take your first bite into something fresh and made with TLC I've tried them a few times already and it's always good...never a bad lunch! read more

I really like the bookstore cafe ambiance. Cute place with decent food. Came with 2 friends as we attended a conference. My friends both had sandwiches which looked robust and good. The item I wanted was not available, so I went with the taco salad . Neither looked nor tasted like a taco salad (bacon?), and the main ingredient seemed to be onions. Nice folks and I'd go again but get a sandwich. read more

I walked in The staff saw me walk in. I go to the counter and the server turns their back to me. I figured it would be a quick second because they saw me walk up and the restaurant is EMPTY well, I wait a solid two minutes, they turn around and face me and immediately turn around again giving me their back. I really wanted the Ham and Fig sandwich so, I stayed and waited another could minutes until they finally put their phone down (they were reading not talking) I ordered the food It came and wasn't really very good I was pretty disappointed read more

We were in New England for a road trip and took a quick detour to Springfield to see the Basketball Hall of Fame. We stumbled on Nosh while looking for a spot for lunch. It turned out to be one of the food highlights of our trip. Everyone enjoyed their meal and exploring the books. Cool spot with great atmosphere and friendly service. read more

Very friendly staff. The restaurant is very unique. Although I wouldn't call it a restaurant. Definitely more of a café. I say this because it's not very traditional in the sense of a restaurant service. It's more of a cafeteria style with a gypsy vibe. Like a fusion of an abstract art exhibit meets a hippy college dorm room, meets a cafeteria, meets a bazaar. It is collaborated with a few businesses ("The Urban Food Brood"-"Corsello Butchery"- "Happy Man"-Forest Doe Botanicals"-"Monsoon Roastery"). A very supportive community. The seating is very cozy but awkward. Great place to meet up with friends or make new friends. Now for the food. It was fantastic. The French toast - was light, fluffy and delicate. Very different from what you would typically expect but absolutely delicious. The Hot Friggin Goat Sammie- no, it was not spicy but savory! This fried egg, fig jam, goat cheese, onion, & arugula on brioche was entirely delightful. The fig jam was a perfect sweet puzzle piece to this savory yet sweet Sammie. The Mushroom Toast - Garlic Herb spread, sauteed mushrooms, cara-melized onions, greens, balsamic & parmesan... was scrumptious!!! Perfect balance of ingredients. Over all.... Great food with a charismatic setting. read more

Great coffee and sandwiches. Cordial and quick service. Nice and relaxing atmosphere. Prices are more affordable toward the lower end. A jewel in downtown Springfield, especially since options for coffee and sandwiches are limited. You must try it! read more

Great breakfast spot in downtown Geneva. Lots of seating both inside and out. We went on a Sunday about 9:30 and there was a 10 minute wait. Our server was great and food was really good. I had the an omelette. I think it was called the farmhouse or something similar. It was the only vegetarian omelette on the menu. It was very tasty, lots of veggies and swiss cheese. My side of bacon was a little undercooked for my taste, but that was the only issue. The potatoes that come with the omelette are melt in your mouth tasty. read more

I love this place. Food was delicious! I love that they had lemon, ginger, and honey water. I wish that I could try some of their fresh breads. Next time, for sure! read more

Long overdue for a visit but made a point to reward some employees of mine with gift cards for hitting a work goal. Ordered the salmon sammie off the special menu which was delicious! Always forget to look to see what they have for specials so happy I glanced over. Also purchased a red velvet cheesecake dessert which I inhaled. Bringing home with me a blueberry bread which I cannot wait to throw on the stove with butter! Love what the did with the place. Re-did the boards, added bookcases, and filled the center of the room with two tables to sit at rather than the old layout with multiple spread around. Still have the construction going on at the parking garage so will have to maze your way around to get here. If you still haven't come, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR! read more

Great sandwiches. Slight wait but worth it. Quirky ambiance. Somewhat difficult to find because a lot of the building is vacant- almost gave up, but it's on the backside of the building. read more

this place has gone downhill . staff, food quality, etc. when you only get one hour for lunch & it takes an hour to get a sandwich it's not worth it. Staff was un phased when I explained I was waiting, only a few patrons in restaurant. It's unfortunate because they have a great menu but the staff is not very attentive to customer. read more

One of the best places I've ever eaten at! On a trip to Springfield, my friend found this spot looking for a nice coffee, but as we soon found out, we were in for so much more. I ordered the BBQ Pork & Mango Breakfast Bowl and was blown away by the flavor! I would never think to have mango with a meal like this but this was such a great compliment. Everything tasted fresh, delicious, and healthy. Their focaccia was outstanding!!! I loved this place so much that I came back the very next day for the very same meal. If I lived in the area I'd be here all the time! read more

We came for brunch on a Saturday morning. The weather was lovely. We had a great time sitting outdoors and dining. I ordered Katy's Power Salad with the must-try corn soup. Both are really good. For the salad, it came with greens, grains, grapes, apples, pickled beets, feta, almonds, craisins, cukes, Sunflower seeds, and pepitas, served with lemon vinaigrette ( the dressing is delicious!). I added crispy eggplant bacon, making it an even more powerful salad bowl. Not just healthy, but more tasty. For the soup, I tried corn soup which I don't typically order in cafes. All because there's a line of *must-try next to it. I am glad I did. The corn soup is flavorful and delicious. There are tomato and pumpkin cubes stewed to the best softness and melt in the mouth. read more

the restaurant itself is very beautiful. as soon as you go in, you're greeted by a nice man and his bookstore. the atmosphere is perfect for a quick breakfast or lunch. i typically order the "pig in a sombrero" and it is a 5 star sandwich for sure. I'm a big fan of most of the different food they have to offer. i think i've tried about 3 of them and all three of their different sides and they haven't disappointed yet. read more

Food was great, but the staff at the register/counter was incredibly rude and just seemed miserable to be alive. The young man that brought us our food was very pleasant though. Again, great food - but the experience with staff was less than desirable. read more

Priority, let people know that to get to Nosh you need to go around the back of the building while there is construction going on at the MassMutual Center! There is a back alley way off Harrison Avenue. I felt like I was inside of an oak tree when I walked into Nosh. A big welcoming table takes up most of the space, making it a bit tight when waiting during a lunch rush, but there was comfortable room to sit or stand still. Also some good tables outside with live music. I had the tuna salad and rally enjoyed the quality of the bread. The three bean salad was also yummy!! I would recommend the iced London fog, I've only ever had those hot and now I like the cold one more. read more

I love everything on this menu. My favorite are the salads in the summer. Their desserts are top notch.

Came here for an early breakfast with my husband and dog. This place is pet friendly, and the staff was kind enough to bring out a bowl and treats for our little pup. More importantly, and for the humans, this place sits near Main Street but is tucked away so you don't feel like you're in the city. The food and drink options are plenty and we really enjoyed our breakfast bowl and sandwich. Shout out to the staff who were very welcoming, attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. Highly recommend! read more

Absolutely love the vibes of this place! We went on a rainy Saturday afternoon and there was live music that really livened up the day :) Choosing what to get was near impossible as literally everything single thing on their menu sounded amazing to me. We ended up going with the black bean burger and Thanksgiving sandwich to share. The burger was not really a burger patty, but more so black beans and melted cheese in phyllo dough which was sooo much better than a patty in my opinion! It also had fresh mango on it that really added a nice fresh twist and it was on the best homemade focaccia. The Thanksgiving one was my personal favorite though. They made it with chicken instead of turkey, but I did not care. The cranberry sauce and the gravy they give you in which to dip the sandwich... YUM Both sandwiches came with a piece of watermelon which was a fun change of pace from the usual unhealthy sides. Would definitely recommend checking this place out! read more

A little hard to find from the main road (walk through the building entirely, and the entrance is on the back side. once inside, though, what a great spot! Combo bookstore / cafe, with delicious fresh offerings and a "college town" vibe. I had the goat cheese egg sandwich, and it was fantastic. Checked out with a few books, too! read more

We found this quirky hip restaurant while searching for a brunch place and it was fabulous. The outdoor sitting area was so colorful and we had our Pet dog with us, and it was a pet friendly place. It even gave a dog bowl for our pet and that was sweet. It is hard to come by. We ordered a ton of sandwiches: their specials, Mango Tango, barbecue chicken and a sweet corn panini sandwich. I also ordered the coconut iced coffee. The food came fast and was extremely delightful to look at. The portion sizes were huge. You can taste the fresh produce and the love. The place is pretty highly rated and I can see why. The customers never stop coming to this place. It has a colorful vibe that matches the quirkiness of the food. The menu the decor the vibrant quotes and colors just make this place a eclectic joint to visit with a friends group. If u are around boston this place is a must visit! read more

If you are on main street, you won't find this restaurant until you enter the marketplace. But at the rear end of the marketplace the street is very calm and quiet. Nosh is near the Bruce Landon way. We preferred the outdoor seating as we brought a dog with us. The outdoor seats were very colorful. We ordered the Figgy Pig, Mango Tango, Green Monster and Street corn Panini with chicken. Out of all the dishes I will prefer the Panini followed by Mango. All the ingredients were very fresh and they serve very soft focaccia bread. I didn't quite like the iced coffee that we had also ordered. We didn't try any dessert. As a tourist I was happy. Overall it was a nice experience. read more

Nosh was a great place to grab breakfast! We needed something near our hotel quick and someone recommended this place to us -- it was within walking distance so we decided to check it out. The restaurant is actually kind of hidden so you're gonna want to look carefully. This place is in a pretty deserted plaza but it had a lot of antiques so it was interesting and pretty neat to see these antiques. They have a breakfast menu but they also have a lunch menu as well so there are plenty of options. I ordered the BBQ Pork & Mango Breakfast Bowl, Fish & Corn Chowder and a Long Way Back Cider (and yes I had a Cider at 9:30AM in the morning). The bowl was pretty good! The mango flavor wasn't strong and paired well with the BBQ pork so it was interesting to see that. New England is known for their chowder, and they weren't wrong. The fish & corn chowder was super warm for the rainy day I was presented with. It was super filling. Overall -- it was a good visit; A great local place to grab breakfast! I would definitely check them out again if I'm in the Springfield area. read more

We were looking for a place for "brunch" and found Nosh on Yelp. The location is hidden behind Main Street. The space is cute and welcoming. The person taking our order was a little short with us; but maybe it's an East coast thing ( I'm from the west coast) the cocktails were good but a little sweet. The sandwiches we ordered were amazing. But we did have to ask for them to bring the 3 bean salad side which comes with the meal. They forgot to put it onto the plate. And my sandwich did have the apple sticker on the sandwich; which I learned are made to be edible for this exact reason. I'd say give this place a try. You shouldn't be disappointed I feel. read more

Absolutely wonderful food. Super unique and healthy menu. Falafel in phyllo dough was yummmmm. Loaded potato soup so fresh and clean. A little difficult finding them off the beaten path hidden in back of building. You'd do 4x the business if you had a more accessible location. Keep up the great work. Super pleasant staff as well. read more

I popped into Nosh on a Friday afternoon for lunch - it was bumping. I ordered the Goldfinger sandwich - I'd heard great things so I figured why not. The toppings were fresh and they clearly used fresh roasted chicken. Unfortunately, their honey mustard was very watery resulting in a messy sandwich experience. I had hoped for a bit more sweetness in the mustard. I would definitely come back and try another sandwich because they have options for days. Don't miss out on their drinks. I ordered the honey ginger hot tea with a splash of lavender syrup - it was spicy and warm. Can't wait to come back! read more

Tucked away in what seems to be a small ally near Mass mutual center, this restaurant is a great option if you are looking for something better than your typical Panera or hot table. I ordered the golden finger sandwich, and for a sandwich shop in Springfield this is a great option. For an amazing sandwich you'll be waiting a little longer than expected, but so worth it. I was only able to finish one half of it. read more

Fantastic cafe in the heart of Springfield! This hidden gem brings a spin of health conscious, local food sourced cafe to the Springfield area. They offer a variety of delicious sandwiches (hot or cold), soups, and grain bowls for lunch! They also serve local beer and coffee. I work in the area and this is continually a place that I frequent for lunch. My only complaint is availability of parking in the downtown area. Nosh is a must if you're in the area for lunch and want a delicious, and affordable bite! read more

Easily one of the best casual dining options in the area. We ordered 5 different sandwiches and had them cut them into quarters. Great meal
