    This place isn't the easiest to find if you're not very familiar with Kutztown... but it's so worth it! Chose the Fin sùt sùt, Red Thai Noodle Bowl... vegan Thai coconut curry with rice noodles and veggies... if you could only smell how good this smells. Stop in sometime and say hi to new owner Sarah!

    Wow. Let me start by saying I am not a vegetarian but I love locally sourced fresh food. I heard about hive cafe through their hot sauce business and decided to give them a try. Being not familiar with Kutztown I wasn't sure where to park but I parked on the Main Street and cut through to the alley. The building is well marked and is adorable inside. I decided to go with a burger since I really enjoy veggie burgers. I ordered the one with mushrooms and blue cheese (local of course!) and had it served over greens. The burger itself was wonderful - great flavor, texture and with a nice char on it. Probably the best veggie burger I have had. You can tell that it was made from scratch and a lot of thought went into the recipe. The blue cheese and mushrooms were the perfect pairing - adding richness and tang. And finally the greens were so fresh. I realized I ate them all before I had finished the burger because they were so good! The oat milk soft serve was a nice end to the meal. I love ice cream so wasn't sure what to expect from this non-dairy version but o was pleasantly surprised by how creamy and flavorful it was. I'm glad I tried it and would definitely have it again. The two people working were both extremely nice and helpful. I will definitely be back!

    My husband and I absolutely loved their buffalo "wings"! It's a must try for sure. This restaurant serves organic food and roots their practice in sustainability. It was great to see the wooden utensils and compost system they have going on there. So happy to support local restaurants who care about the environment and the health of the people they serve!

    This place has the best vibe and nicest staff. The menu could have used a few more vegan options but what I had was good and came out quickly. The salad that came with my lunch was good, but the must store the dressing in the fridge because the evoo was solid. No need to refrigerate balsamic and evoo friends! The salad was colorful and fresh. Delicious beets! The grilled cheese was tasty and the bread was very fresh tasting. Overall, I need to go back and try their vegan cheesesteak next time! Also they had vegan treats from Bethlehem and I got the PB brownie and wow. That was amazing. I also bought a loaf of the fresh bread and a few other items and everyone on the staff was helpful and told me when I almost got something not vegan so that was super.

    We stopped here on our way to Bethlehem. We ordered salmon tacos, the mushroom panini, and scrambled tofu for our children. My fiance also ordered the green hemp smoothie. The portions are medium size, if you are ordering the tacos, you'll definitely want a side. The atmosphere was great. They had eco friendly utensils and straws. My only complaint is that the ordering system could be more organzied. We were asked three times while eating whether an entree or salad was ours. Perhaps give order numbers a try? Would definitely recommend and return.

    Any place where I can add organic tofu to my salad or get a vegan cheesesteak earns 5 stars from me!

    The food was pretty good but the wait was crazy! There were 3 other groups in there at the time I had to wait over 25 minutes for 1 bowl.

    My last review for this place was in 2013. I FINALLY came back to Mamma's 11 years later. Used to…read morepark over at the old Feed & Read lot, which is now Young Ones-and charges for parking-so we had someone wait in the car while I ran in. Entering Mamma's, the place has the exact same layout; wasn't sure what I was expecting but I walked straight back to the counter where some kids were working. Since I had to take everything in, I took a menu and a seat, trying to narrow down what I wanted. Stuff I lived off, cheeseburger sub and chicken sub were still listed, as well as the chicken tender platter. I knew I had to order pierogies since it's been years so that was the first thing I did, and the platter won this round. When he asked what sauce I wanted for the bread, I actually had to think since it obviously wasn't the default tomato sauce anymore (I chose bbq which I also used with the chicken). All of this for under $20 which is a steal compared to where I am now. Took a while as expected, but by the time I got back to the car, I was one pierogi down. Food was just as good as I recall. Only thing is the bbq sauce was on the watery side which was odd, but that was it. Why four instead of five stars? I noticed on the receipt way after the fact they have a 'CC Surcharge Credit Fee'. This was a whopping .54 cents, however I PAID IN CASH. I think the teen guys were too much in a rush to talk to their boys hanging out than paying better attention ringing me up, but besides them, I can't believe a little town like Kutztown implemented a ridiculous surcharge, especially with all the students. I expect such a thing in 'big liberal cities' like where I now reside, but here?? It's also not listed on the menu, and I also didn't notice any signage hanging up around the counter area, so just be aware of this unnecessary fee. I guess they are with the times after all. This won't prevent me from returning, but I'll definitely mention it next time when being rung up. Otherwise, the food took me back to when the only thing I to worry about was what final to study for/current crush/etc.

    Good food, good people and great service I like this place better. Great ambience and nice.read more

The portions were large and reasonably priced, and tasted very fresh and flavorful. The menu provides multiple options and a nice variety of which will certainly make you want to come back to try something new and different. My one daughter loved the pizza which was made with care and consideration for her allergies. It was larger than she expected and she was able to take half home for another satisfying meal. My other daughter stated she semi-enjoyed the shepherds pie, which had large chunks of beef in it. She liked the texture but felt that the gravy was a bit too much/something was off. She did state she preferred the shepherds pie she got from Hershey Harvest better, but this was still good. I loved my crab cake, broccoli, and onion rings. I thought the food was excellently prepared and flavorful. My only complaint was I got too full and couldn't eat it all. I would certainly order it again. The atmosphere is casual and has an average noise level. I appreciate the spacious dining area which gives ample room for guests to not feel rushed or claustrophobic. It was clean and well maintained. The bathroom was also clean, well maintained, and well stocked. My plan is to certainly return in the future and try some other items on the menu. (There were quite a number of items which caught our eyes and made it difficult to choose.)

    Came in really hungry and excited having not been here in a long time. I was waited on by Kaiti,…read moreshe is super nice! I ordered the Burn Burger, medium rare. What I got was not even anywhere close to medium rare. It was very overcooked and very well done. The server was apologetic. I said it was "fine". Not her fault. I tried and ate half, but couldn't do the rest. I left disappointed (and still hungry).
