First off, I'd like to say that the staff at Saffron Cafe & Pastry have helped reaffirm that there…read moreare still good people in the world. Friends of ours are dealing with a very, very tough situation and since we're 1500 miles away and unable to help out, our family wanted to send a little "package of comfort" to them during this hard time. After calling Saffron and speaking with (I believe) the owner/manager we were able to put some delicious pastries and cookies together. They even were so kind as to write a small note for us. While the store doesn't usually offer delivery - the owner was so moved by our situation - that he was open to hand-deliver the package AFTER closing. The donuts and cookies were very much appreciated by our friends and they let us know that everything was fresh and exceptionally delicious! Thank you again, Saffron Cafe and crew for going above and beyond!

The staff is super friendly and accommodating, I have an egg intolerance and they made me the special sandwich without egg. Doesn't sound like a big deal but some places you can't mod things.

-ONE PARAGRAPH REVIEW-…read more The Nook has great coffee. The Nook has great food- not entrés but café stuff: sandwich rolls, focaccias, muffins, etc. The Nook has old school, retro vibes. It has rock music vibes. It has creative, inspirational vibes. It has quiet, read-a-book-in-the-nook vibes but also loud Donkey Kong-guitar riff-crunchin' vibes; depending on the time and the day. It's perhaps a tad too small inside, but that's what makes it a nook. Lots of hot and iced coffee options, food is quality over quantity: get their signature cheese or linguica roll as-is or "leveled up" to make it an egg sandwich because it's the best around. And their focaccias are made like a pizza and imo are better than their actual pizza! Ok that's a paragraph!

These are about the worst cookie I have ever had and I have been a home baker for many years -…read more there is absolutely no flavor to them! We bought some at a wine expo in Boston - two packs w/three cookies per pack at $10 each. One pack of p.butter chip the other C.Chip. You could barely taste any p.butter flavor in those cookies - maybe they aren't using a high quality p.butter??. I think they all have a bit too much flour added to them - I just read on the p.butter that they use both bread flour and cake flour which would explain it and they all need a touch of salt. Sorry - but I think they should go back to the drawing board on these.

It's a good spot to grab and go, or to sit and enjoy the downtown of New Bedford for a bit. The staff is always wonderful, just like the space and everything served here.

I ordered a bacon, egg & cheese on a croissant sandwich, a blueberry muffin, and a coffee drink called an "Arpuccino" (I think that's how you spell it). All good. The only problem I have with this place is that they do not have any gift cards/certificates. They only do e-cards. I wanted to give one as a Christmas gift to someone and I wanted a physical card to give. They really should think about carrying physical gift cards, especially if you're giving one to an older person who is not as tech-savvy as others. They're missing out on some possible sales.

I've been here a few times and was always pleased. Today I was sadly underwhelmed. The staff seemed…read morea bit annoyed. Maybe it was the bad weather. I asked for an opinion on what item to get and I felt like a burden. I also ordered a waffle and the response was kind of negative. It was 3, and they close at 4. I politely asked if they were done making waffles for the day and she sighed and was like no. I almost asked to cancel my order at this point, as nothing was being made as of yet. I waited quite a bit for my stuff and any interaction with the staff was kind of negative and harsh. (I swear I'm super nice and friendly!) the waffle and coffee were both underwhelming. I almost changed my review from the previous 5 stars to 3 stars, but am going to hope this was just one poor experience. Not sure if I'll come back again yet or not. I was really bummed because all of my previous interactions here had been great.

I was expecting Puerto Rican food and the smell of bread but nothing. Waited about 7 minutes for someone to come out from the back and take my order. I bought the best pan sabao I've ever had. Fluffy and fresh. Not warm but fresh. I would go back to buy pan but it's not promising for anything else. I hope they change that. Maybe it's the time I went or the day- but regardless, they definitely need some business there.

Having an employee (Victor) assist people kept things moving and he added a friendly personal touch. I loved my salmon and cream cheese bagel and my mom liked her egg sandwich and cheese danish.

Our coffee drinks were mediocre. Ordered the banana bread iced latte that tasted heavily…read moreartificial, similar to a banana laffy taffy. Their pumpkin marshmallow latte was okay. Syrup sat at the very bottom; not mixed well and they ran out of marshmallow fluff. Waiting area is super small and busy due to servers running in and out so they recommend people to wait outside. Due to this, we were not properly notified by server staff that our coffee orders were done and when we went in to check, the manager/server kept ambushing us with the question, "oh, where were you guys?" and when we did answer "we waited outside" she replied "oh, i don't go outside" After this interaction, I cannot see myself coming back to dine in.

I have always loved this place and everything I've had here, but this was next level. I had a thanksgiving sandwich and sangria. The sangria was so delicious. One of the best I've had in a while. The Thanksgiving sandwich was served with potato wedge like rounds and wow! So good! I love Thanksgiving sandwiches and this one was hands down the best I've ever had. It took a lot to only eat half and save room for dessert. I'm so glad i did because their fried nata was next level. I didn't know how it would be, and it was sooooo good. They really care about their food and that is seen in their cooking and also their service. I'm amazed by both every time! This spot is super cute too. It's historical and they did such a good job keeping that feel. It's meant to feel like you're at your tias house and i just love that mentality. While this was a staple in my weekend breakfast routine, I'm thinking lunch and dinner might have to be included in the mix moving forward!
