    Super chicken panini and Mac and cheese
    Anushka M.

    We were staying right next to the works so we decided to try it out. We got the super chicken panini and Mac and cheese, and I got an iced vanilla latte for coffee. Food was really good, especially the panini. Coffee was ok, tasted watered down and a bit artificial. Overall a good quick breakfast spot.

    Chicken broccoli pesto Mac and cheese
    Nicole B.

    I really enjoyed the Mac and cheese, ive never had a Mac and cheese feel healthy and truly filling. My boyfriend got the barbecue chicken melt, I took a bite and it was pretty good. The service was good, the workers seemed to get along well. The cafe itself is very quaint, students seem to go there to study and it's not the quietest for those who want a pin drop silent cafe. I personally loved it.

    Bacon avocado sandwich
    Candie G.

    We were looking for outdoor seating, and this had that going for it plus a variety of foods to accommodate for different peoples taste, including a vegetarian. The sandwiches were good and the wuinoa bowls were satisfying. Service is fast and there is a lot of seating, both indoors and outdoors. This is a great café for the town of Amherst. Also it's very conveneient if you have a dog you can sit outside.

    Barley soup and Southwestern BBQ grilled sandwich.
    Mike T.

    I had a great lunch here. I had a southwestern BBQ chicken sandwich and barley soup. Prices are good. Ambience is nice an cozy. Wide selection of vegetarian and vegan options. Ice coffee was great too.

    sunrise breakfast burrito
    Sophia A.

    there are very few things that can be relied on in this world, and the sunrise breakfast burrito is one of them. it's absolutely delightful. every. single. time. a singular bite on the morning after a night on the town will make you want to kiss the chef on the lips. not actually. but like maybe? it's simply that good. (see image two with the burrito remnants.) i cannot recommend this place enough.

    Ask the Community - The Works Bakery Cafe

    Is the outdoor dining safely distanced so that two people can meet, eat and talk at a safe 6-foot distance?

    Yes, but you'd be wasting tables doing that. There are only a few tables so it'd be courteous to sit with your party. If you're afraid of your friends perhaps FaceTime them instead.

    Before the menu change, I ordered a vegan tofu reuben with their delicious slaw, called a "Cosmos."…read more It was so good, I ordered it again, thinking it was impossible for them to get it right two times in a row. They did. So I came back a THIRD time and ordered it AGAIN, just to see if they can still keep their vegan cheese melted just right on top. It was incredible, AGAIN. Now that I've gotten this out of the way, ask where it is on their new menu as it is under revision--I don't like the tempeh version as much. Onto the rest of the atmosphere of Cushman. One of the most pleasant features of Cushman Market and Cafe is that it is nestled at an important corner in northeast Amherst. You need to travel further west to get to The Mill District and not much opens there early, and there's little else I can recall in the other cardinal directions. It's a pleasant trip, with plenty of parking in front, behind, and in a strip of side road across the street. I've never been in the market, so let me keep talking about the Cafe. The atmosphere of the Cafe is wonderful, with locals, safety officers, and regulars all visiting at each meal hour from breakfast to lunch. Nestled inside what looks like an old barn, complete with doors still hanging, Cushman has memorabilia from decades of music, sports, politics, and news frozen under acrylic, different for many of their tables. The café seems to have at most 20 chairs, and the staff behind the counter will deliver it to your table, call your name, or leave other orders by a stand near the back entrance. Cushman Cafe offers a variety of meals, alongside baked goods and freshly mixed café drinks. While I'm not a fan of the switcherels, I have enjoyed their dirty Chai lattes, iced teas, fresh coffees, and free water if I recall in a pinch. They have gender neutral bathrooms--which is great if you're tired of waiting in line for one of two as they are large but single occupancy. They offer cold panini sandwiches, hot panini, all sorts of eggs, egg sandwiches, and egg breakfasts, vegan and vegetarian options, alongside a seemingly visible carnivorous focus for their new menu's default. If you had a chance to hop on a bus and travel around Amherst, or you were passing through to the highways, Cushman Cafe is worth a quick stop. I've rarely had to wait long for my meals even in busy hours, and this is because of the large and competent kitchen, who--if you'll remember--can get a delicious sandwich right any day of the week. I hope cell service returns there!

    What a great place! My second time here, years after the first and finally finishing my review.read more

    Royal Chicken & Kebab - Steak and cheese combo

    Do you love fried chicken wings, smash burgers, and Philly Cheese steak subs? I have. That's why…read moreI'm pleased to say I've been a regular customer of Royal Chicken and Kebab. Eating in their food area, making a food order with their cashier, or even using their digital menu, all are friendly, comfortable, and accommodating. They serve halal meats, too, which eases my conscience and my ordering options from their menu, including fresh and crispy french fries. What sets this place apart from a local or fast food burger joint, however, is the love for the experience of their food that Royal Chicken & Kebab offers. Receiving your food order from them is a delight. From the way each meal is wrapped, boxed, or sealed, to the way their burgers and subs look unwrapped. I recall the days I used to enjoy a messy local Philly Cheesesteak sub at whatever local sandwich shop I would be at, where the price wasn't about the love and care specifically, as there needed to be an overwhelming level of meat--like, get yourself dirty on a date level as the wrapper was soggy and flowing with cheese. That is part of a local Philly cheese experience, and here, I felt the love for the flavors brought to a wider community, if not the whole world. Here, our local cooks and chefs still make a sub full of steak, cheese, and peppers, but just enough to fit neatly and appealingly within their foil wraps. Each bite of the slightly warm and crispy bun reveal to me how much I still love the flavors of the experience, and don't need the sub to be my only sustenance. You can get your meal with a side of fries and a drink, for example. Royal Chicken & Kebab has a welcoming atmosphere, attention to detail in the quality of their meals, and has yet to let me down in price or service. I could see anyone, from families, to groups of friends late at night enjoying a meal here. Thank you for your work, Royal!

    Stopped by for a quick dinner and the food was really good! I'm happy there's a small late night…read morespot for anyone to grab a quick bite. I was a big fan of their combo options that come with a drink and fries. My partner and I got the steak and cheese combo, although I do wish it came with some veggie options, it was just the steak and cheese. The combo was about $15 for the roll and a side of fries with a drink. The cashier at the counter was really sweet and even gave us some free bbq sauce to go with the fries. Although the music was a bit loud, the booths and tables were pretty clean so my partner and I sat and ate the food there. 10/10 will definitely be going back, prices are really good compared to neighboring businesses! (We even had some extra to take home)
