A great menu selection with really tasty food and drinks. A great place for lunch and will become one of my regular spots when I am working in Groton. read more

A great little cafe in Groton with a sweet ambience. We were immediately welcomed by the staff, they recommended the pork hash which was delicious and made to order as well as various muffins and scones. The food was excellent as well as the coffee. They even had a vegan and gluten free brownie that was so light and fudgy. We will definitely come back to this picturesque cafe! read more

I go there alot and it always feels special. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The takeout is very smooth. No matter it would be worth the wait. They have such good food, my mouth is watering just writing this review. Try the pork hash. Oh yes! The avacado toast. I only tried it because I had heard so many comedians reference it. But I now have to say I love the avacado toast :) it is so pretty on the plate and every bite is worth the visit. read more

So happy to have this awesome cafe nearby. The coffee is great and the food is awesome.

This was seriously the most amazing breakfast we have ever had. They can make the whole menu gluten free and are very well versed in cross contamination and celiac. My son said they were the best pancakes he ever had. Super friendly staff and very cute decor. A must try!!!!!! read more

The atmosphere is nice. The food was good. I had the lemon ricotta pancakes which weren't on the menu. Really good medium roast coffee. Great service also. My guests had the eggs, bacon and cheese on a biscuit and herbal tea. They enjoyed both read more

Awesome food and coffee great staff as well. Lattes are good and the pulled pork sandwich is great. The bread the sandwich was on was super fresh and tasty. read more

Great food before the statewide sit-down restaurant ban. Still great food with easy contact-less take out. Salads are always high quality greens, the sandwiches are customizable, and the coffee is good. My usual is the vegan hash (root veggies, potato, half avocado, micro greens) and matcha latte. Just tried a new menu item , cheeseburger sliders, very good with brioche type bun and customized with caramelized onions. Worth a visit if it closes there is nowhere else in Groton area where the breakfast meets my needs. read more

Great teas and coffees. We love their chai latte. Wonderful atmosphere. Groton could use more places like this-- especially a bakery! The food is creative and tasty with a range/diversity lacking in a lot of other places in small towns "north of the Charles". Professional staff. No complaints. read more

Nice lunch and breakfast spot however, a little pricy for what you get. Wish they served dinner and open on Sundays.

Fresh modern menu, fast and friendly service, and great tasting foods are all reasons to visit Salt and Light Cafe Bistro. I've tried at least half the menu so far and haven't been disappointed yet. If this isnt enough for you, the coffee, tea, and dessert selection is wonderful as well. I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area. Even if you're out of town, it's definitely worth the trip. read more

Excellent food. 4th time here. Sat at bar, had a few drink specials and lunch. Nice and relaxed.

I'm from out of town and decided to have lunch here! The building is very welcoming and has an open floor concept. I ended up getting the PLT which is prosciutto LT and avocado. My girl friend go ordered the duck tacos and the food came super fast. The food was so good. For checking in, we got to get a free dessert and the guy who works there have us the run down of what they had. He was very friendly and I loved the service here. He gave us two chocolate truffles because they were so small. They care about who walks through their doors. read more

The pork in the hash was phenomenal. The donuts tasted too sweet - we tried 4 different flavors and the flavors were undetectable due to the excessive sugar content. read more

I've stopped for their coffee a couple of times and it's great. Very nice to have an Eco-friendly coffee that is a smooth roast which is not too harsh or watered down. Stayed for breakfast and had the French Toast with berry compote that was served hot and was delicious! read more

Nice atmosphere. Good coffee & tea. Delicious food. Excellent service. Need I say more? This place has a trendy, earthy feel but is not expensive. We had two interesting, yummy breakfast sandwiches, a single pancake, tea, and coffee for $16. The young men working here are friendly and super polite. We'll be back! :) read more

They are open early during the week and make a great americano. Their prices are on the higher side but I assume that is due to their higher quality ingredients. They make a mean vegan hash that's just what a cold winter morning calls for. Always bustling but never have had an issue finding a seat. Love this local establishment read more

The food is very good and has a great atmosphere. I was a bit disappointed when I went in to pick up my to go order at the designated pickup area where there was a man standing there and I was not acknowledged. I was told by another woman to go and wait in line. Isn't the whole point of placing a order ahead of time to get in and get out? I ended up being in the restaurant for over 5 minutes for a call ahead to go order, not quick enough. Further more if your going to have a signed designated pickup area for to go orders the man standing there should be able to ring orders out and acknowledge the person standing there. Customer service could be elevated to match the amazing food. read more

I'm in love, just left there. First time ever, the owner was a gentlemen, fit us in even though the kitchen technically was closing right when we walked in, the little boutique was lovely, I got a cardigan. Not to mention, the food was AMAZING ! We ordered the portobello burger and chipotle chicken wrap, it was delicious, the dressing on the mix greens was phenomenal and the food does not feel heavy at all. We would love to go in for seconds. Everyone was charismatic and sweet. The vibes there were welcoming, if I lived near Salt & Light Cafe Bistro I would go there every single day. Much recommend! read more

I love this place is here. It's a quaint nook you could potentially find in Cambridge without going so far out if you live in this area! Fresh dishes. A little eclectic ... not traditional lunches. My favorite is the peach pork sandwich. But because of my allergy they allow more field greens instead of the bun. This is my go-to and never failed yet. The pork is tender and juicy with some sweetness from the charred peaches and pairs nicely with the raw cabbage on top. As for the drink I usually order the matcha latte with almond milk. It's great. read more

It's really the only game in town and you would think they would be a bit more caring about their customers. My family lives in town and won't go here, now I know why. read more

Had a late breakfast there the other day with my son. The ambiance is very clean and cool - a great place to hang for coffee and conversation or with your laptop. I had the house coffee (which was very good) and my son had some specialty iced coffee he liked. He also had the breakfast burrito with black beans and guacamole which we both liked (I had a bite). My omelet was a different story. While it contained quality sausage and some bacon, the 3-eggs were cooked crepe-like - cooked on both sides, very dry, and folded over the meat with very little cheese and raw green peppers. The home fries were better than average if not very good. That said, it was my first time there but would not order an omelet again. Maybe it was a bad day for the cook, but if not - then I'd recommend a pass on these. I'd give a 5-star if the omelet had been reasonable-to-good, but for $10... it was not close to worth it and dampened the pleasure of the meal. read more

Been here twice once for lunch and once for breakfast. Both times I've loved the food (we tried the cinnamon roll too while waiting for our breakfast DELICIOUS); the only thing I didn't like was their chai latte. But that hasn't stopped me from wanting to go back any time I'm in the area. The staff are very nice and they are quick without making you feel like you're getting chased out the door. read more

Great coffee and delicious food! I also love the fact that I can order curbside pickup and can get a sandwich and latte delivered to my car without having to disturb my kids in the backseat! read more

Okay, so if you're looking for a ridiculously overpriced food that you can easily cook at home, this is definitely the place to go. The staff was wonderful and super nice, but the food was absolute trash. This must be a real hotspot for yuppies. Even the damn soda is organic. The water is organic! The menu is super Limited. All we ordered was three tacos and two sodas. The tacos supposedly came with a cilantro lime slaw, but I tasted no cilantro and I tasted no lime. I explained that my father and I were going to split the taco so I asked if they could put the slaw on a separate plate since my father does not like it. They didn't even know if the chef would be able to do that. Really? You don't know if you can scoop slaw and put it on a plate? The chicken appeared to be one of those Purdue pre-made grilled chicken slices. Honestly, I won't really write a Yelp review unless I was really unimpressed period or enraged. I just was very unimpressed by the quality of the food especially at the prices they were asking. read more

Had a feta omelette w/ fresh greens, cappuccino and blueberry muffin (free with Yelp checkin). Omelette was one of the best I have had, the flavoring was just right. Muffin was fresh, went well with cappuccino. Décor is nice, lots of wood (table, benches), staff are friendly. Enjoyed my breakfast with a friend. Definately recommend this place for other Yelpers. read more

Cute, bright, and cozy place with interesting seating (tall tables, regular tables, coffee tables w wing-back-style chairs). This is a good place for adults only or adults w kids. The food is upscale and varied (simple bakery items alongside trendy made-to-order sandwiches with a "sauce bar" of condiments. Every style, flavor, and temperature of coffee is served. I visited here with a friend and we had a fine time eating great food and catching up while sitting in comfy chairs in a street-facing window. read more

Tons of gluten free options and the pumpkin spice latte is amazing! Really chill vibe and ambiance. I'd come back here anytime!

Great local place for lunch. Had the pulled pork sandwich and the warm chips and dressing appetizer. Both delicious. Welcoming, friendly staff. Comfortable seating area. Will definitely be back for breakfast next time. read more

Great coffee Delicious fresh and unique homemade food Great atmosphere= Perfect brunch read more

Cute atmosphere, lots of tasty pastries and brunch options .. Highly recommend the blueberry coffee cake, love that the entire facility is nut free! Will definitely go back when I am in town again read more

An absolute gem - Josiah and his team are top notch I'm in there multiple times per week for cold brews but on the weekends for food. Fantastic staff great menu cozy seating can't say enough good things about this Main Street gem. read more

This cafe has the best Pumpkin bread - all year round. I do the lost lake bike ride ~40 miles, just to eat the bread. The place is always clean, bathrooms are clean, and the staff is really nice. There is plenty of room for larger groups. It's the perfect fueling stop for cyclist : ) read more

Mixed bag. As someone who eats Keto, I was disappointed by the rude response when I asked if they had any heavy cream for my coffee ("you can find half and half or skim milk on the table"). They apparently have no heavy cream in the establishment or so I was told. I asked for my salad on the side of my scramble in a separate bowl as it wasn't clear if the dressing had sugar in it (hard to get that question answered). It all came together on the plate. The egg scramble was dry and inedible, tasting of grain mustard--presumably from the salad that was served on top of it instead of a separate bowl as I had asked. They did ultimately offer to replace/comp. My kids (not keto) enjoyed the pancakes and chicken quesadilla. I tasted the inside of the quesadilla and it was very flavorful. The staff is a bit pretentious. They bus the table for you but there was no one around for me to ask for a box for my daughter's leftover pancake. I brought her plate up to ask for one--big mistake lol. They were horrified. Apparently there are many unwritten rules when you eat at this establishment. So in the end, not a restaurant that caters to my dietary needs in a satisfactory way (and really had no interest in trying) but may be fine for others if they don't mind pretentious staff. read more

Hands down one of the absolute best places to go for breakfast. The atmosphere is wonderful and the food is handmade and fresh and has amazed me every time. Salt & Light truly is a place to visit (or keep coming back to). read more

Ridiculously overpriced for terrible food and rude staff! Coffee was horrible and tasted like lemon dish soap. My potatoes were so spicy with Chile pepper that I could not eat them. I decided it was not worth the wait to reorder them with no spice because we had already waited over 45 minutes for our food when it wasn't even that busy as we watched at least 10 staff in the order/kitchen area doing nothing. This was our first and definitely LAST time there! Not willing to give it a second chance as it was just all completely bad! read more

Just stopped in for breakfast and had Cajun pork hash was unreal, menu looks great! Will definitely be back.

Great food, very tasty and fresh. Place looks very clean and comfortable. Had the chicken BLT which was very flavorful.

Really enjoyed this place. Came here on a recommendation from a friend as I travel a lot through New England. Had the Rueben sandwich which was very good and unique. Local food and they support the local farmers. Reasonable prices and great service. They deserve my 5 star review. Open for just breakfast and lunch at this point read more

Went for a light lunch with my son. Had a delicious salad & iced chai. Salad was small but nicely presented. Muffin was moist but couldn't taste the fruit; so a bit bland overall. Nice atmosphere & friendly service. read more
