Fresh food is prepared by a cheerful staff. Although there is not much of a view of the nearby Nashua River you are surrounded by posters of epic jazz musicians. They also feature life jazz with top notch musicians, such as Wide Avenue Cohortm featuring the fine guitar playing of Scott Cavanagh in an intimate atmosphere. Ed Kydd Nashua read more

Excellent coffee shop. The prices are reasonable and the coffee is very good. I think that this shop is definitely one of the treasures of Nashua. On a more serious note, this is definitely the place to come to form a party at the outset of an adventure. To Isengard! read more

Riverwalk Cafe - The bar - Cafes Near Me - Nashua, New Hampshire

Eclectic offerings in a coffeehouse bar music space. Recommend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This place is such a great spot in Nashua. The food is excellent - try the breakfast sandwiches! I love that you can sit right downtown but be shielded from the heavy traffic. Very cool indoors too! read more

Nice establishment. Great seating. Have come here for coffee and a bakery item. Parking can be a bit challenging at times.

A nice contribution to Nashua downtown. This café has a great music scene. The coffee is good and they serve pretty good food, although the menu is limited. The interior is a bit of a mishmash but it works for them. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped here for breakfast on our way home and were very pleased!! The coffee was fantastic and the food was also great! The staff was super friendly as well. Inside of the cafe was really cool and just overall a nice environment. Next time we visit we will be returning to get another coffee and breakfast! read more

This is a staple for downtown Nashua. Their coffee is on the dark side and batch brew is 4/5. Being a specialty coffee lover, their pour overs are something to avoid. Food is great and their "super muffins" are vegan and gluten free. They offer gluten free bread for all their sandwiches, a rarity in NH! Overall a great place and if live music is your thing, check them out at night!! read more

Great atmosphere. Great coffees and beers. Food is solid. It's all a little expensive but worth it, especially on a day of studying. Open mic nights are lively and entertaining. read more

Love love love. The toffee lovers with oat milk latte is just perfect every single time. Definitely one of the best coffee spots around!

My mother and I waited 40 minutes for an Iced Coffee and Matcha Latte. It wasn't even packed or busy inside and to add insult to injury the drinks were thrown together and the taste reflected. read more

Went there for breakfast this weekend and the worker behind the counter severing coffee and taking orders was extremely rude. She was serving someone ahead of my family and I and there was a huge line, there was no sense of urgency or any acknowledgement of the customers in line. We have never been there before and probably will not go back. read more

This is my top favorite breakfast place. I'm here pretty much every weekend. Their breakfast sandwiches are awesome and their coffees are fantastic. They're not always great about following special orders, so when I try to switch things up on my sandwich order it doesn't always come out as I ordered but it's still very delicious so that doesn't really bother me. They usually follow the menu and are good about making one change but if you have more than one change on an item you might only get one of the changes you asked for. But again, the food is fantastic so I don't really mind. We recently went there to enjoy a story teller session, which was incredible. The set up for seeing live music is excellent. It's a very intimate setting and the acts they have on are all very good that we're seen. I love how they support local talent! read more

My husband and I had some wonderful pastries and coffee here and I hear they have some live music and we are eager to go back and try some of their beers too! read more

I would give them 4 stars but I am cutting a star as they just have one burrito and bagel for vegetarians. The burrito was really good. Nice ambience and lots of parking. They need to have more food for vegetarians. read more

The perfect cafe to grab an espresso drink, cocktail, or sandwiches... but the bakery is the real magic of this place. Unbelievably moist scones, various cheesecakes, and more. Oh, and there's plenty of seating too, probs for the music I hear about but never go see. Bucket list, yada yada... read more

There breakfast sandwiches are out of this world and the Cappuccino is a must!!!!! Nice atmosphere as well. I'll definitely be back! read more

Awesome staff, Brandon was great!!! He had so much knowledge about roasting the coffee beans and made us feel so welcome even though we live in Boston and it was our first time there. Loved the atmosphere and quality of tea, coffee and expresso. Looking forward to going back and enjoying some music and food! read more

Loce the vibe of this place! Unique coffee and espresso drinks along with full bar and food! Can't wait to go back. Easy parking also

Good food good service the live music is always entertaining. Very pleasant atmosphere patrons are always friendly. I had a very good experience. read more

I walked into riverwalk and really loved the atmosphere it gave off. I stood in line for no less than a minute because it wasn't very busy at the time. All I ordered was a coffee and a muffin. After ordering, I had to wait 15 minutes for my muffin after having to remind someone to get it for me after they forgot. The workers and manager there are rude and not helpful AT ALL. I would rather go down the street to other nearby Cafes and get better quality food and friendlier service. read more

Pucker up, Riverwalk, I'm going in dry. I bragged about you to a friend based on an experience from 6 months ago. I gave you 5/5 then. Now I don't know who you can thank, but after embarrassing me, it's a 2/5, and that's with the nostalgia glasses on. Your bohemian vibes and industrial aesthetic doesn't make up for the fact that my friend and I waited 40 minutes (it was not busy at all) for two subpar coldcut sandwiches, served with bagged potato chips and an indelible pickle (mushy, as if it were previously frozen). It looked like it was assembled by an epileptic 3rd grader. I'd rather spend my money at Denny's. That should tell you enough. Fire your cook or manager. Get your acts together. Nashua doesn't need you giving them another reason to stick to chains and franchises. read more

This is a great place to come to anytime of day. I met with some clients for lunch and coffee and the internet was great. Moreover, the staff is friendly and helpful. Highly recommend Jim read more

Have been here two times now. The first time was at night for drinks and a show - very lively and fun crowd and band. Drinks were unique and delicious though a bit pricey. I returned for lunch recently and ordered the chicken salad wrap. It was okay, but it was basically just cubed chicken and mayo (a lot of it) in the wrap. No celery or cranberries or onion or something to spice it up. The wrap was also grilled, so the chicken salad was warm, which was not what I expected. Still good, just not great. Big menu with lots of additional options that I will try when I am next in town. read more

Great environment, food and music! Breakfast, lunch, drop-in, or dinner you can't go wrong! read more

This is such a cute place to grab some food and do some studying/work. I came here with my girlfriend and had a delicious brunch while we played cribbage with the board and cards they had there. read more

I held off on reviewing Riverwalk until I returned to try the coffee. I previously had stopped in for sandwiches, which were very good, not the afterthoughts you usually get with coffeeshop food. The coffee, I can now say, is excellent. I ordered the traditional which was made with strong, smooth espresso. The foam isn't quite perfect, but that's my only complaint. As it says in the name, Riverwalk is a music venue and a pretty good one it seems. There are shows more nights than not and they have a full liquor license (more beers please). The room with the stage is dark and intimate with funky decorations while there is a brighter front room that appears to host board gamers. read more

Sometimes the road less traveled is really worth it. On a recent trip north of the (Mass.) border a bunch of us voted against taking 293, instead choosing to meander our way through Nashua. When it got to around lunchtime we chose not to go with the staples (pizza, subs) or usual places (chains, fast-food operations). Needing both coffee and sandwiches, and wanting a place to stop, we pulled into a parking lot right in front of the Riverwalk. We found Riverwalk to be an Italian-flavored coffeehouse, the standards - coffee, cappuccino, etc., - from beans roasted by the owner on premises, as well as a variety of sandwiches and baked goods. We each got regular coffees and split paninis served on rye that apparently just came from the oven. Everything was very fresh and the combination of ingredients brought out the flavor in each item. Tasty all around. Atmosphere was very relaxed and the place had a pleasant, relaxed feel that provided a great alternative to the pace and flavor (or lack thereof) of a chain or fast food place. Realistically, the service, atmosphere and products are what Starbucks aspires to, but misses. We all decided that we'd be back next time we're in Nashua. read more

I had come here on a rainy Sunday on a road trip with a friend - craving some coffee I'd turned on my Yelp app and searched nearby for some coffee houses. Nashua must be known for having things closed on Sunday - or something; but this place was open and most certainly a beacon of roasted delights. They have a "special espresso" coffee menu to the left of their menu, and for someone who often trades coffee for real food, I ordered a peanut butter cup espresso. It tasted like a seventh heaven. It tasted like a warm spring day. Its peanut butter flavor lingered only for a few sips and turned into a delightful cup of mocha espresso. The atmosphere was very nice, there people seated throughout the coffeehouse, just chatting and if I had the time, I probably would have hunkered down too. I wanted to tour the small, but reasonably-sized rooms and operate their roaster, but alas, I ordered my espresso to go and left. I hope I find myself in Nashua soon again for a different version of their delicious espresso. read more

Been here several times and each time the coffee and food are excellent. The breakfast sandwiches on homemade biscuits are the best I've ever had and make me want to come back every weekend. I've also had a fresh mozzarella, tomato, and pesto panini on chiabatta bread...delicious! Coffee is strong, service is great, people are very nice. Would highly recommend! read more

Riverwalk Cafe - Drink menu - Cafes Near Me - Nashua, New Hampshire

I want to give this place a 4.75 but since that's not an option I'm giving it a 5 star rating. The only downside about this place is that it's a little too cluttered for my taste. There are paintings and equipment everywhere and from where you sit in the front area you can see cleaning supplies over the top of the "closet area". That being said the coffee was seriously delicious, their breakfast sandwiches are probably the best I've ever had, so big and filling. The english muffin is so delicious I could eat just that as a meal. I also had one of their protein shakes here and it was so filling I couldn't finish it. The service is awesome, they're so nice and fast. The seating is eclectic and welcoming and the wrap around windows in the front are so cozy when the sun is out. I highly recommend this place! read more

Good place for music and coffee. If you're seeing a band on Friday or Saturday, you want to go a bit early to get good seating. Food is ok but we ordered late and will try it again before commenting further. Glad to have them downtown for sure. read more

This place might be my eyes vision come to life as the hybrid cafe/bar/bakery. Its nestled in a corner shop, smack dab in the middle of Downtown Nashua. I immediently fell in love with the dark smoldering atmosphere and how warm and cozy it was inside verses the blistering cold outside, and yes I do mean blistering I got wind burn. I had the black iced coffee and their raspberry bar which tasted homemade, but I was a little dissapointed in the pumpkin loaf which tasted very obviousely from a box/package. The old fashioned lighting, as well as the deep teal/peacock colored walls makes for a beautiful and fun place to grab a snack with a friend of a small intimate date. read more

I went to the Riverwalk for the first time recently after the renovations and it's amazing. There is now a stage and a bar and inspirational quotes on the walls, it looks like a classy, fun coffee shop. There is still beautiful art on the walls, though I could not figure out who the artist were because I did not see any signs. The staff has become even more friendly and super helpful. They answered all my questions and made me a delicious soy chai latte. This is a great place to go and relax during the morning or meet friends and have a drink at night. There are also may plugs for laptops if you want to find a place to go and do some work. I will definitely be making more visits here. read more

They just completed a huge remodel. It's amazing. This the best coffee or sandwiches in Nashua read more

Riverwalk Cafe - Cortado - Cafes Near Me - Nashua, New Hampshire

I've been to Riverwalk twice now and both times was to see my friend and his band (Willie J. Laws Band). It's a cute venue and the food isn't horrible, I just wish I could dance when I'm there. I also had to buy an extra shot of vodka to add to my drink because my lemon drop tasted really watered down. My husband didn't have any issues with his burger or beer but those are hard to mess up. I, on the other hand really disliked my asian bowl with tofu. The tofu was extremely dry and overcooked and the other ingredients were cold and soggy. The two sauces served to pour on the bowl were equally nasty. I stopped eating after a couple of bites. I was still hungry so I ordered the potstickers, those were surprisingly delicious. I guess the bowl is the only thing on the menu that isn't executed well. Stick to burgers, salads wine and beer and you should be fine. read more

Cafe owner makes a lot of great decisions. Each time I visit Riverwalk there is some great improvement to the food and drink quality, the service, or the decor. Peak at your food being made from scratch by upbeat, happy, employees. Show up early to chat with the well humored, friendly owner as he roasts the day's beans in an authentic imported Turkish coffee roaster. Located in the historical heart of Nashua Riverwalk affords lines on certain days which process quickly. Cozy environment, small cafe, unique decor, good local gossip. Has backroom, windowed-room, and outdoor seating. Espresso is mixed bean. Baristas use traditional tools and methods unlike chain cafes. All things aside, if you want a high quality cup of coffee Riverwalk is the place to go in Nashua NH. read more
