I visited Plume Cafe 3 days in a row while staying in Newburyport, and really liked it! The…read moreinterior was modern and brightly lit, but still somewhat cozy. On the first day, I ordered the Taurus (spring seasonal menu), but I got it hot since it was a chilly day. This was tasty, but it was way better iced with the addition of the cherry cold foam, which I got to try on day 3. On day 2, I ordered the Almond Croissant Latte (also spring seasonal menu), which was definitely on the sweet side but had a nice flavor to it. Service was friendly and quick and all drinks were served in to-go cups. They also had a large selection of gluten-free pastries, which my friend enjoyed. Worth the visit!

I split a medium size and it was both affordable (less than $5 total) and the perfect amount of a warm and decadent drink. By the time we came in the afternoon, most of the pastries were sold out, so time your visit early or expect to see only the sad leftovers on the shelf. Besides that, it's a small but bright and cozy spot with limited seating. Perfect for a grab-and-go beverage.

Their pastries were pretty tasty and they had some really cute choices like a bacon cheddar scone. Very flavorful, large, and wasn't dry at all. Their coffee was also good. My only downfall was that nothing we got was hot. It wasn't cold, but leaned more towards warm than anything else. On a cold windy day like today, I could've really appreciated a hotter beverage. I was also surprised to not see any sort of donut out considering the name of the shop. Wish there was. Otherwise, it was an adorable place, the workers were friendly and attentive, and it was worth stopping in.

I really don't visit this area during the busy summer months, but I love the beach off-season. This…read morecafe is truly a bright spot in the area. It's right on the beach with a clear view of the ocean. The windows flip open and must be amazing in the summer months (I think someone posted a photo of the building here). I've been a few times on Sunday morning, when its quiet and peaceful, and the beach air is cool. I've only had the coffee and some breakfast items, but would like to try more. Its a comfortable place to hang out for a little while and the people here are nice. I'll be back again before they close for the season. I highly recommend you give them a try!

They also claim to be a sort of community gathering center. The coffee was ok! Local-ish Fazenda coffee. The lack of customer service was insane. There were staff available but I waited for a while at the counter for someone to notice me and take my order. I spent around $25 for 2 items, am injured with difficulty walking, and they wouldn't let me use the bathroom, hinting that they had one but not "for the public". Instead they directed me to a public restroom down the road with 4 stalls for hundreds of people at the beach. The açaí was good though. I guess you have to weigh the pros and cons.

The building exterior is a beautiful brick design, and the interior matches the classic vibes with a down-to-earth, calm energy. Also, the quality of service is absolutely fantastic! The baristas are as sweet as can be- conversational, kind, accommodating, and quick. Talk about a good cafe to visit if you want to destress, everything about being here was calming and rejuvenating. I will say, as a matcha connoisseur, their iced matcha latte was not the best quality- little to no matcha taste and a watery consistency. However, I'll give them grace knowing that's not their specialty. Overall the experience was still lovely, and I am curious to try their some of their many delicious looking pastries or sandwiches!

Great conversation with the two women behind the counter - learned a lot and shared some great stories amongst the four of us. Highly recommend you take a stop here and check out their menu, order some food, and just relax over a nice breakfast or lunch. Will definitely be back!!!

We are so glad we popped in and gave it a go. Parking is decent, but on street and not plentiful. We were lucky to snag a spot right out front. This spot isn't wheelchair accessible and can only be entered via stairs. The inside is absolutely stunning! There are beautiful lights strung everywhere and children's artwork hung all over one of their walls. There is no seating inside, however there are a couple of benches outside, along with a Little Free Library and a water bowl for pups. The drinks and food are delightful! We both got a bacon, egg, and cheese on a plain bagel. I loved that we could choose between cheddar or American cheese for the breakfast sandwich and that they actually cook their bacon pretty well (not flimsy and translucent like some places). My husband got a mocha latte which wad delicious and I got a hot chocolate which was flavorful and pleasantly unique tasting from other places. Lastly, we grabbed a few baked goods: A Nutella Swirl Tea Cake, a Brownie Cookie, and a Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie. The tea cake was very flavorful and both the cookies blew us away! It's hard to find brownie cookies or chocolate chip cookies with brown butter these days, so we were excited to see them offered here. Overall the experience here was wonderful and even though the line was out the door, we were in and out in under 10 minutes! There are plenty of beautiful spots closeby to enjoy your drinks and treats, which is a plus. We will definitely be back to try more of the offerings, especially the themed sugar cookies they offer.

The owner has a book bin outside of her store, and she came out and stood behind us as we got some books, and then we asked her if we could take some books and she said yes, but then told us we had to leave books and then she ranback in and then came back out again once we left to check her book bin and also had her staff come out and check on us. it was the jarring and off putting situation at a cafe that anyone could stand. Food is not good as well - there are many other better places in Newburyport to buy pastries and coffee than this place and they don't harrass you over a couple of books which were going to a family who lost their house thru a fire.

The menu had a number of other options that caught my eye, including a jerk chicken wrap and a Caesar salad wrap (my old stand-by). We also had to get one of the fresh baked blueberry muffins sitting in the display by the entrance and that too was incredible. The manager (I think?) working the cash register was super friendly. Food came out fast. Not sure what other reviews are talking about with the portion size but we left satisfied. There are some tables but if the weather's nice, grab a sandwich and chips and take it by the water to watch the boats coming in. There's a parking lot right out front, as well as a lot across the street - you may have to do some loops on weekend mornings.
