There is a good amount of seating in the store and free water for customers to fill themselves which I always love. The Bacon Egg and Cheese was a wise decision and priced very very well, I would definitely recommend that! My favorite sweet was the strawberry tea cake, top class that was. The donut and banana bread were also very tasty but I didn't get to eat enough of them to feel as strongly about them as I do the strawberry tea cake. I think it's assume you can't go wrong with anything you can purchase from Butternut Bakehouse,... Enjoy! The ambiance was full of energy with friendly staff and happy customers. Would definitely recommend.

It was nice to have a more home-made version of the classic Starbucks bites and enjoy a coffee that was well balanced. On a weekend youll find an array of people from families to groups of friends, but I never saw people waiting long for seats. Adding to the neighborhood feel is their bulletin board of local ads and promotions which really adds to the community feeling of this place. The service was friendly despite being busy and moved very quickly. I would definitely come back here.

For food we ordered the eggplant sando and the chicken piccata sandwich. While both tasted good, I was surprised at how much more I enjoyed the eggplant one. The eggplant was breaded well and crispy without feeling too heavy on oil. The rest of the sandwich with arugula and roasted red peppers also felt fresh. The chicken sandwich was also good with thin layers of chicken, and flavored well. However I liked the chicken where as for eggplant I felt the sandwich as a whole worked well. While busy, it still feels like enough movement of groups that you can easily find a seat. The staff is also very friendly making it a neighborhood spot I would definitely come back to.

Really cute bookstore/cafe with a nice ambiance. I came in here desperate for coffee because I was…read moreso exhausted. I got a cold brew and a chocolate chip cookie. The cookie was just okay and the cold brew was good, I could tell the coffee was high quality. My only complaint is that they have a self serve station with the cream/milk. I am not a fan when coffee places have this because at that point I can just make my coffee at home. This spot reminds me of Trident Cafe in Back Bay. Staff is very friendly as well!

It's a cute cafe with nice outdoor seating and the food is good, but the service isn't great. I…read morefelt super rushed when ordering despite being the only person in line the morning I was there. The girl who took my order didn't really give us a chance to look at the menu, stared, and rushed me when I was speaking which threw me off a bit. They also serve you through a window (looks like a makeshift drive-thru, or "walk-thru") which is cool, but I noticed the same girl was getting easily annoyed when customers weren't quick to receive their order. She also made my coffee in a unique way which really surprised me. They have a giant jug of iced coffee that they keep in the bottom cabinet, instead of having drip or brew. The coffee itself was pretty decent, though. My ham and cheese crepe was okay but there was not enough ham or cheese, it was mostly just egg. My friend's portion was also small but the food was good. I think I would give it another shot.

We each had a sandwich, and an iced coffee, plus we split a sweet. Classical music played and it wasn't too loud. A really good place. Not loads of seats, so I guess we were lucky to grab a table at lunchtime.

the "incredible "bagel sandwich was absolutely the most disgusting breakfast sandwich I've ever…read morehad. The menu says fresh, healthy, etc. etc. the only thing fresh about that bagel was the avocado and maybe the egg. Pretty sure it was Oscar Meyer "bacon" or some other form of microwavable bacon (which isn't really bacon ). Which is totally unacceptable in this day and age. And the sweet sauce they put on it was horrendous. My stomach hurt the entire day. If you're not going to use quality bagels and quality bacon, you should not be charging almost $13 a sandwich. your menu should also list the ingredients line by line. I asked the cashier what was on this and he did not mention a disgusting sweet sauce. It's no wonder there's a line out the door for the café down the street and two people inside this café. Although I did not get anything else, but that sandwich, I will not be returning based on that alone. You should be ashamed for even serving that.

I don't find it pretentious; rather, I find it humble and unique in the way it serves up phenomenal pastries that tickle every single corner of your palate. From the croissants, the turnovers, to the delectable desserts or macarons, not one detail is spared in the intricate process of making each item stand out. They sure make the French proud (as some of the patrons openly brag about this being closest to "home"). The friendliness that they greet you as you enter to the simple smiles and gestures accommodating any and every possible question you may have is truly what seals the deal for this spot. As I sit and slowly put away whatever pastry I decided to indulge in the moment, sipping on my cafe au lait, I get to watch as different locals enter and go, chatting up a storm with each other like long lost loves, before disappearing in delight with full bags in hand. Can't wait to be back. Definitely now a weekend staple.

There was no gossiping. Very professional. There is a wall of chocolates and snacks you can also purchase. Lots of room and tables to sit. The white fence and blue walls give it a Cape Cod feel. The avocado toast was tasty. It had a runny egg on top. I would have preferred metal utensils vs plastic ware. But there were no metal forks left. The plastic fork wasn't cutting it (get it?). Hubby got the breakfast sandwich: ham on English muffin. It didn't fill him up so he got another ham and cheese croissant. I would have preferred the cheese heated but hubby didn't mind it cold. The croissant was buttery and flaky though. Before we left we got some cold drinks from the fridge. They had some sparkling teas--Tea soda! Gonna try out the Blue Tea Jasmine.
