I had the New Yorker (basic pastrami on rye) and it was tender and toasted perfectly. I also had a cup of their Turkey and Stuffing soup as recommended by the gentleman tending the register. Wow, it was awesome and unique. To finish it up, they have gigantic house made cookies that are freakin delicious. The staff is very friendly and go beyond just enough to enhance the value. Good prices, great food, nice people.

I came here on a Saturday afternoon with a friend to check out this place. I parked on the street…read moresince their little parking lot was full. The exterior is adorable! It's an unassuming building but they've made it very cute! They have painted the brick around the bottom to look like stone as well as a continuation of the awning painted around the top. The inside is just as interesting. There is a huge wooden map of the world on the wall, a piano, and the lights over some of the tables are made from teapots. There is a large bar in the middle and plenty of seating. This place is larger than it appeared from the outside. The menu offered several types of teas- white, green, herbal, black with several different flavors within each type of tea. I chose a tropical white tea. It came out nice and hot with a packet of honey. My friend ordered a sweet crepe with mixed fruit. She loved it! I decided to try their unique offering of 6 mixed pancakes. It included 4 savory pancakes (beet, zucchini, squash, potato) and two sweet pancakes (Oladi, farm cheese). One of the sweet pancakes was fluffy but dry and flavorless. I think it was the Oladi. All of the other pancakes were excellent and the service was flawless. What a cute place with great food and service! I'll definitely be back!

My friends got the strawberry and banana crepe and a beet and a zucchini pancake. We got the small crepe which was massive. The service was quick and polite. The house hot sauce had a different kick to it. It was vinegar based and it didn't layer the taste of the food but added some spice without the burn to the food. The place was quaint.

Across from MassMutual center so I am positive this place has to be packed before games or events. I can't recommend the place enough.

Springfield, MA - I went in bracing for sad shrink-wrapped muffins and reheated paninis, so was…read morecompletely surprised to find Smoked, a legit BBQ joint and food truck that's taken up residence in the quadrangle of the Springfield Museum as its on-site museum café. Smoked brings the real deal: ribs, brisket, pulled pork, pulled chicken, mac & cheese, collard greens, and other Southern comfort food that's so not what I was expecting in the way of typical cafeteria fare. We ordered the Brazil sandwich (smoked Cuban), all hail Caesar salad with chicken, and a large fries. The food took its sweet time arriving but was worth the wait. The Cuban was delicious, as was the flavorful bbq chicken that topped the salad, although I wish I'd gotten dressing on the side as the salad was overdoused. Fries are the best kind of fries I like, with that extra crispy and blistered seasoned coating yet hot and pillowy on the inside. It's a homey operation and Chef Bruce B. Williams Jr. was out there personally manning the counter and kitchen. You don't have to be a museum visitor to eat there, but 5 stars for being a casual cafe with good eats I would actually leave the complex for, and am glad I didn't have to.
