    The most underrated cafe/bakery in Northampton. Amazing staff, amazing deserts and so many options. Donuts are a must.

    Tart Baking Company is owned by Shelburne Falls and Catalpa Coffee- all three being alternate…read morecoffee stores in Noho. This means, that the coffee you get here is going to be Catalpa roasted beans, but with a higher selection of "fancy" pastries. (The apricot croissant I had was very very delicious. ) I do not love Catalpa espresso as much as Shelburne Falls coffee, because it has a very sweet taste with a bitter finish, I prefer something that is more of an earthy or mellow light roast. Just smelling the ground coffee makes you think of something flowery and sharp. They have limited breakfast sandwiches and a few drink specials that remind me of what they have over at Catalpa . Unfortunately, because all three stores are linked, that means none of them have soy milk anymore, which is my go to espresso add-in. It is even still on the sign at the counter. The staff is friendly, and it's at a nice spot near where Shelburne Falls used to be. Their main advertisement is their croissant, so four stars for having a super delicious croissant. For not having any seating, and advertising soy milk and having any, one star deduction.

    Croissants are often overcooked or stale. This place used to be a gem, but has gone downhill over…read morethe past year or so. Got an almond croissant and it was very dark on the bottom - so disappointed. Cookies were good but expensive. They used to have such a variety of pastries and other baked goods. Now, it is hit or miss. Whomever is baking the croissants needs some training. Got a spinach feta croissant which used to be a favorite of ours, but was almost black on the bottom/inedible. Looked ok in the case. So sad this bakery no longer lives up to the standards it set in the past.

    I have been a fan of Herrell's my entire life! Before and after renovation and all! They always…read morehave a great assortment of flavors and I always love to look for their most unique options! They cater to all types of dietary issues and have dairy free and sorbets. Even their cookie and cake selection usually has at least one GF item. Their board also displays if any flavor has wheat, nuts, or eggs in it, which is much appreciated! The staff is always knowledgeable and friendly. The line can be out the door at times, but the staff work diligently to keep it moving. The seating can be tight but it's a nice place to hang out if they have the space. Fun wall hangings and always their signature bears keeping us all company! The only downside to this place is that it is so well frequented, as it should be, that some flavors sell out quickly. It will be there one day and then not the next, so get it while you can. Or alternatively, you can email them and special order a flavor you love that you keep missing. I love that they do this! It takes time, so plan ahead, but it is so worth it! And although I want people to keep this business running, I.e. keep the money flowing so they keep in business... I have to also say, don't forget to come in and get your free birthday sundae!! Maybe just bring a friend who will purchase their own item.

    Good selection of flavors. The cookie dough vanilla base was really good but there was to much…read morecookie dough for me it was overpowering. They have ice cream cakes and a selection of baked goods here too. Indoor seating available. Employees are very nice here.

The ice cream is one size but it usually ends up being a delicious monstrosity- as I like to call it. So many toppings allowed to already great Thai Rolled Ice Cream! I can't pick a favorite flavor and it's great that they have staples and seasonal favorites. I usually go for the ice cream, but the Japanese (gf if you don't get the ones with cookies or pocky in it) crepes that come sweet or savory, drinks (especially if you go for their special light up, reusable, refillable, lightbulb receptacle that comes with a travel cap when not in use) and their specialty "Dragon's Breath" are so fun and tasty! Absolutely worth the stop into this little shop! The guy who is behind the counter is always friendly and quick. The inside is quaint and has nice music going on. When I got my light up drink, they had slight (not obnoxious) rave cover music and it went with the light show in my drink! I take all my out of town friends, and honestly local ones too, here and it's always a great experience!

The selection of toppings is HUGE, so it's good that you have time to decide on your choices while you watch the ice cream preparation and rolling. SERVICE: 5-Star Friendly. Can't get any better than that. AMBIANCE: 5-Star Seating along the wall. You can eat your sundae-sized rolled ice cream while you watch more ice cream being prepared. PLUS, there are a dozen+ choices of ice cream flavors. I have difficulty passing Absolute Zero without stopping for an ice cream break. :-) I think I'll stop in today!

    Cuteeeeee little cafe & pie shop! I pass by Florence Pie Bar when visiting family in the area and…read morealways say I am going to stop in. Well, this was the weekend it finally happened. So much good here: Amazing pie, kind staff, cutest vibes, and lots of outdoor seating and a fair amount of indoor seating. I stopped in the Saturday before Easter and they were a little low on baked goods (no actually pie left sadly) but I still snagged myself one of the custard key lime pie bites. It was SO good. I would get it again in a heartbeat. Perfect coconut crust, amazing custard. It was delicious. We also grabbed a few iced coffees that hit the spot. Worth a visit if you have a sweet tooth or even a hankering for a coffee.

The place is so cozy. You walk through a curtain and head over to the counter and display case. The menu and prices are on the board above. Well thought aesthetics, it's small but it works. I had the buffalo chicken hand pie. It was warmed and I'm glad I got two. I got the brown sugar chocolate chip cookie and the cookie of the month. It was lemon flavored and simply divine. The allure of Florence is everything is mostly unique and cozy. Florence Pie Bar checked both boxes.
