A breakfast sandwich seemed appropriate and when I saw a hot honey sandwich my ears perked up and thought that would be a good choice. Only have had hot honey on my pizza and now I want to go get a bottle to put on my eggs. I thought this combination was absolutely delicious and would recommend to anyone interested in trying something different. Place itself was nice. Few people sitting down socializing and doing work. It is quite the cozy spot. The ladies behind the counter were very friendly and appreciative of my business too. Will be popping back in at some point. I will have to take a closer look at the drink menu as one of the beverages the lady was describing to someone made me almost want to get up and get one myself. Something with toast and marshmallows. Either way, good spot to come to off of Boston Road.

For a café with more serving space than cooking space, you'd think they couldn't pack a punch, but…read morethey do. The café here, West Street Coffee & Tea, uses their square footage to pack a few tables, and a bookshelf or two with possibly the proprietor's gifted collection for customers to read. The West Street Coffee & Tea helps you feel at home stopping in for some coffee, a selection of a quick breakfast sandwich, a pastry from the bakery across the parking lot, or some other treat. I have enjoyed a quality and consistency of service, not only filling out punches on my loyalty card, but appreciating both my drinks and my meal. The kitchen staff has served me quickly when they are not my talented cashier and barista as well--though do consider this a compliment worth tipping the staff for their ability to know how to run a café in part or in whole. The West Street Coffee & Tea boasts a humble parking lot, but the sizable line of parking spaces allows cars to park and then usually drive forward to depart. This fits that the five to six tables are set well in each of the rooms they rest, with ample light from the interior and exterior. I could imagine the drink staff would keep up with a variety of orders that are park and departing, so be mindful that there is parking at other corners of the plaza rotary on busy hours like at other restaurants within Amherst. Busses do travel by, and I'd suppose those from the PVTA that go between Amherst and Hampshire might even stop here. For a quite accessible location, I can only imagine they enjoy being a secret delight of this area of south and east Amherst.

I've been back several times, and if I lived in Amherst I'd be a regular. The bakery items I sampled were fresh and well made. IDK if they were made in house, or from a local artisan, but they matched the quality of AC's coffee. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, barista skilled without the attitude. Like I said - I wished I lived in Amherst, so I could take up residence at the corner table.

There's plenty of seating, both inside and out, and the patio is the perfect place to soak up a beautiful day. The staff who took my order for an iced mocha latte couldn't have been friendlier, all smiles and welcoming. The person who brought it out, though, served it with just enough classic Northeast attitude to remind me I wasn't in Texas anymore, and somehow it fit the place perfectly. Sitting outside, watching students hustle by and friends linger over coffee, it was easy to see why this place is a local favorite. Amherst Coffee captures exactly what you hope to find in a quintessential New England college town: good coffee, good people, a little personality, and just enough Boston-style edge to keep it authentic.
