    What a cute little cafe! Beautiful pleasant find in Amherst MA. We enjoyed the croissants, specifically the ham &cheese croissant and the chocolate one. Only wished that they offered to warm them up, maybes they would have if we asked ‍ Espresso a bit more bitter than what I normally prefer, and yes I drink espresso regularly. Good, not my favorite. Street parking by coin meter

    Iced latte with oat milk.

    This was my first time at Amherst Coffee and their latte was so good! It was also more affordable than the coffee shop that I was previously going to in Amherst. I got mine to go but I did love the relaxed atmosphere inside and was tempted to stay.

    I felt like such a big girl sitting at the bar having my coffee.

    A coffee bar with a bar!! And alcohol. Apparently they have a ton of whiskeys and bourbons. Plus it's right next to an indie movie theater. It's a tad pretentious up in here. Like they don't have lattes, but espresso with milk. The baristas are pleasant but not friendly. Definitely too cool for school. The pastries are from a local bakery but this coffee shop is unable or unwilling to warm them up. I visited on a Wednesday early afternoon and there were lots of people quietly and intently working. My coffee and was yummy and so was my room temperature, chocolate croissant, which, if they were all in on the pretense, they would've called a pan a chocolate.

    Coffee shop in the daytime and bar at night. Love the ambience and the town. Will miss it as we move out of the New England area.

    One of the rare places in town to close late (~11PM). I visited this place last night, and it had a rather excellent and spacy inner area painted in wood tones with a breezy outdoor sitting area. Decorated with candles, lightbulbs and small plants, the cafe felt super cozy and great for night chats. They also sold neatly packaged coffee beans for homebody baristas, which you can find on the shelves opposite the register. People gathered at the bar section (open from 4pm 'till late night) for alcoholic drinks and others. I ordered iced cold-brewed matcha for $5.88, and I thought it might have included a portion that would directly contribute to their rental fee @@. $6.94 was the exact paid amount after tip (18%) was added. Enough ranting about this incessant price, I am saying the drink was nothing special. It tasted like iced tea with a matcha flavor at best. Maybe I should order chai tea next time and let you guys know then. Just because the chai order from the customer before me loooked sooo goood!! Ah, the barista was the kindest. I spilled a bit at the bar counter and he told me not to worry as he would take care of it! P/s: I brought my salted caramel cookie from Insomnia Cookies with me. Its sweetness was balanced out quite well by the default unsweetened flavor of the matcha. I don't think this subjective review does this cafe justice. They seemingly have a lot to offer, and I walked in near closing time. I may have to revisit next time with more proper beverage choice and food order.

Lenox has some really cool spots and Ombra is one of them. Recommended by a local, we stopped here on Valentine's Day after our dinner for a nice glass of wine. The place was crowded but luckily a few people were leaving so we scored some seats at the bar. I ordered a glass of Nebbiolo from Italy which was good. My husband had a beer. The place is so cute and very romantic with dim lights, a great wine selection and their food looked so good. Unfortunately, we were so full that we did not end up ordering anything. Although, the french fries were calling my name. Ombra is a place that I could see us coming to almost every week and not getting tired of it. We met a local who is very nice and told us how Ombra is very popular. I think we will have to come back in the spring/summer to get those french fries :) If you are ever in Lenox definitely make your way to Ombra for a nice glass of wine or try a cocktail. This is the perfect date night spot for sure whether you start or end your evening here, you will be happy! Cheers~

The ambiance was cozy and inviting, though our table was in the middle of the aisle which felt a bit cramped. Unfortunately, the service itself was inconsistent. We had to ask for bread three times. When we ordered two brownies and one coffee, we were brought one brownie and two coffees. At the end of the meal, we asked for both my meal and my son's meal to be wrapped to go. My son's plate was accidentally thrown away because other plates were stacked on top of it. When I asked about it, the server explained what happened but did not offer to remake it, remove it from the bill, or apologize, which was disappointing. That said, it was a busy Friday during Restaurant Week, so I would consider coming back and hope the service is smoother next time. While writing this review, I actually received a text from the restaurant letting me know we left our son's plate behind, which was thoughtful and appreciated. If Yelp allowed half stars, I would give 3.5.

I'm not sure if it was an off night, but unfortunately, it wasn't my favorite and I'm not sure I would go back. There are definitely a lot of pros, it was easy to make a reservation, we were promptly seated at a clean and quiet table once we arrived, and the service was overall pretty timely. However, the food and drink left a little bit to be desired. As vegetarians, split a pizza (the olives and mozzarella one) and the kale salad. The salad was fine, but the carrot and tomato was pretty sparse, and the kale felt like nothing had been done to it, like it hadn't been massaged or seasoned or anything so it had a very raw flavor. The pizza was super salty and felt very onenote. It felt like the sauce was a little bit salty, and then the olives, garlic, and oregano were just all very savory. At the end of the night we split a bread pudding for the table, which also wasn't my favorite - the bread was really hard and just hadn't been soaked enough in whatever the flavoring was to mask it. It's possible that they do much better with the meat dishes?
