What a relief to have such a consistent, charming and quintessential cafe take root in the magical world of Montague. The food is amazing, coffee is top notch, every detail down to the plateware is well intentioned. Not to be missed!
Delicious turkey sandwich and coffee—genuinely superior ingredients and food preparation.
Wonderful food; not a giant menu, but prepared with skill and care, a step or three above the ordinary. Interior is airy and spacious, but perhaps a trifle noisy. Service was personable, courteous, and professional. Top-notch place, I'll be back.
This place is a cozy haven! The pumpkin almond cake thing was delicious. The staff, so kind. The bathroom soap even smells amazing. I can’t say enough good things about this new addition to the Pioneer Valley!!
Common Variety made my wedding cakes (2 cakes!) and catered my post-wedding brunch. I couldn't have asked for more beautiful and delicious food or cakes. Everything was so thoughtfully made--both tasteful and tasty! Also, Tawni & Molly are so kind and easy to work with. Can't wait to try more of their amazing food!
Such a lovely new cafe! Came by for brunch and enjoyed a delicious egg sandwich with delicate crispy cotto (a kind of ham) on a homemade English muffin. Best egg sandwich I’ve ever had! My partner had the savory porridge, with an egg, great veg, and a chili crisp, and a sticky bun which was fabulous with a carmelized buttermilk glaze. It’s a beautiful space with great energy and friendly people, enthusiastically recommended!
This is a wonderful space with really great food. My friend Kate introduced me to it and it will become my go to place when visiting that part of MA. I got a turkey sandwich that was by far one of the best, I've had, the bread was exceptional. You can tell they care for every ingredient. Of course I picked up a cookie as well and oh my, it was very very good. I should have picked up more than 1 to bring back to NH. I love the design of the space and the friendly staff. Family friendly and really calm in there as well. Really enjoyed it.
Great food with a focus on local ingredients. While pricier than other places, the quality and support of local farms means it's still reasonable. A nice place to have a weekend brunch with the family or meet up with friends to chat.
Delicious! Great coffee, Jambon Beurre sandwich was fantastic, focaccia pizza was also great. Chocolate chip cookies were amazing. 10/10 would recommend, looking forward to my next visit soon.
A sweet little cafe with scrumptious food, excellent coffee, and a refined, calm atmosphere. They make the best egg sandwich I've had in the area, and their baked goods are terrific. A strong attention to detail is apparent in the layout, decor, recipes, and quality of the food. Service is attentive, efficient, and polite. Love it here!
