I visited Plume Cafe 3 days in a row while staying in Newburyport, and really liked it! The…read moreinterior was modern and brightly lit, but still somewhat cozy. On the first day, I ordered the Taurus (spring seasonal menu), but I got it hot since it was a chilly day. This was tasty, but it was way better iced with the addition of the cherry cold foam, which I got to try on day 3. On day 2, I ordered the Almond Croissant Latte (also spring seasonal menu), which was definitely on the sweet side but had a nice flavor to it. Service was friendly and quick and all drinks were served in to-go cups. They also had a large selection of gluten-free pastries, which my friend enjoyed. Worth the visit!

I split a medium size and it was both affordable (less than $5 total) and the perfect amount of a warm and decadent drink. By the time we came in the afternoon, most of the pastries were sold out, so time your visit early or expect to see only the sad leftovers on the shelf. Besides that, it's a small but bright and cozy spot with limited seating. Perfect for a grab-and-go beverage.

Their pastries were pretty tasty and they had some really cute choices like a bacon cheddar scone. Very flavorful, large, and wasn't dry at all. Their coffee was also good. My only downfall was that nothing we got was hot. It wasn't cold, but leaned more towards warm than anything else. On a cold windy day like today, I could've really appreciated a hotter beverage. I was also surprised to not see any sort of donut out considering the name of the shop. Wish there was. Otherwise, it was an adorable place, the workers were friendly and attentive, and it was worth stopping in.

The owner has a book bin outside of her store, and she came out and stood behind us as we got some books, and then we asked her if we could take some books and she said yes, but then told us we had to leave books and then she ranback in and then came back out again once we left to check her book bin and also had her staff come out and check on us. it was the jarring and off putting situation at a cafe that anyone could stand. Food is not good as well - there are many other better places in Newburyport to buy pastries and coffee than this place and they don't harrass you over a couple of books which were going to a family who lost their house thru a fire.

Both were fabulous. We also had a latte with soy milk but there were lots of different milk options to choose from. Parking is street parking or one of the nearby lots which is what we chose. It was pretty busy even in January so I'd be prepared to give a few minutes over to parking but it's worth it. You can order at the counter or through a kiosk. We tried the kiosk but oddly it doesn't seem set up to give you a receipt so I would order at the counter next time. The staff were very nice about following up to get me my receipt but I think they just need to configure the system a bit more. Whether you order at the kiosk or the counter you take a number and the staff will bring you your food. Everyone was friendly and helpful and the dining area spacious and comfortable. There are quite a lot of good things to choose from on the menu so it will probably be returning next time we're in Newburyport to try and test out a few other items.

I visited Chococoa Baking on a beautiful Saturday morning after stumbling upon it during my walk in…read moreNewburyport, and what a lovely surprise it was! This bakery has such a great and unique selection of whoopie pies and everyone is sure to find a flavor they'll love. I got a hot chocolate and a Boston creme whoopie pie and both were very delicious. The bakery was very busy at the time I was there and I did not find a seat, even as just one person. Luckily the building it's in has other seating which I found to be nicer and quieter than eating in the bakery. I will also say that the flow of the bakery is confusing. After walking in the door, you have to walk through most of the space to get in line, and then stand at the bar, in between seats to get any drinks you ordered. It wasn't too bad, but definitely felt a bit odd to me which was the main reason for 4 stars instead of 5.

The employees from the hotel are supposed to serve the food which is only catered by one choice caterer. Sweet peas, bakery. All the baked foods that we ordered, including the cake was delicious The service however at the Garrison serving the food purchased at the sweet pea bakery for the tea lounge was not worth the cost. Before the event and during guests from the hotel thought it was a free breakfast brunch and we're coming in taking glasses to serve themselves. Hotel employees did not say anything I had to say something. They should have a signed private event. 10 minutes later, the same thing happened with other uninvited guests from the hotel. 15 minutes into the function the urn for hot water for the tea was still coming out cold (you would think something called the tea room )would be able to have tea when the event starts? I knew the exact time because the party guest came up to me and told me it was still coming out cold and I looked at my watch. I do not think you should have to wait until 15 minutes into an event to start having the tea. It is a short event and expensive event. Everything should be ready at 11 not 11:15 the servers were supposed to replenish the multiple salads and fruit (I shouldn't have had to police it) when I saw it was down to the bottom I looked for the girl (she wasn't around)then I looked in the room to do it myself but I couldn't find where she had the extra two bowls of salad I purchased. I had to go to the front lobby of the hotel to see if I could find the girl. The woman behind the hotel lobby desk which I thought worked there because that's where she sat the whole time she told me that she must've went to the bathroom. I told her I have been waiting for her to come back for 15 minutes to refill the salad. She told me she would do it. I didn't even think she was part of the event. I thought she worked at the hotel because she was sitting behind the desk but I guess she's the manager. The bowl was not filled for 15 minutes. The event was almost over and I had a lot of extra food because it was not replenished as it should've been. The gratuity tip is automatically decided for you even if they didn't do their job the way it should've been done. I felt like I had to do a lot of the event myself as far as going back-and-forth to notify them not to even mention that people from the hotel were coming in thinking it was a free breakfast. Although it was beautiful and the bride enjoyed herself, I was disappointed in the final outcome. I did try to call the hotel several times that night after the event I did not want to do it in front of the bride. I finally got a hold of someone on Thursday and she denied all of it I had people with me that can confirm everything. Good luck if you book this place.
