First off, I'd like to say that the staff at Saffron Cafe & Pastry have helped reaffirm that there…read moreare still good people in the world. Friends of ours are dealing with a very, very tough situation and since we're 1500 miles away and unable to help out, our family wanted to send a little "package of comfort" to them during this hard time. After calling Saffron and speaking with (I believe) the owner/manager we were able to put some delicious pastries and cookies together. They even were so kind as to write a small note for us. While the store doesn't usually offer delivery - the owner was so moved by our situation - that he was open to hand-deliver the package AFTER closing. The donuts and cookies were very much appreciated by our friends and they let us know that everything was fresh and exceptionally delicious! Thank you again, Saffron Cafe and crew for going above and beyond!

-ONE PARAGRAPH REVIEW-…read more The Nook has great coffee. The Nook has great food- not entrés but café stuff: sandwich rolls, focaccias, muffins, etc. The Nook has old school, retro vibes. It has rock music vibes. It has creative, inspirational vibes. It has quiet, read-a-book-in-the-nook vibes but also loud Donkey Kong-guitar riff-crunchin' vibes; depending on the time and the day. It's perhaps a tad too small inside, but that's what makes it a nook. Lots of hot and iced coffee options, food is quality over quantity: get their signature cheese or linguica roll as-is or "leveled up" to make it an egg sandwich because it's the best around. And their focaccias are made like a pizza and imo are better than their actual pizza! Ok that's a paragraph!

These are about the worst cookie I have ever had and I have been a home baker for many years -…read more there is absolutely no flavor to them! We bought some at a wine expo in Boston - two packs w/three cookies per pack at $10 each. One pack of p.butter chip the other C.Chip. You could barely taste any p.butter flavor in those cookies - maybe they aren't using a high quality p.butter??. I think they all have a bit too much flour added to them - I just read on the p.butter that they use both bread flour and cake flour which would explain it and they all need a touch of salt. Sorry - but I think they should go back to the drawing board on these.

I'm not…read moresuper familiar with the area but came to support a friend who started a coffee book club and this ended up being the perfect place for it. First things first, the iced latte was exactly what I needed. As someone who runs on iced coffee year round, this one definitely hit the mark. I also tried a gluten free cookie that the owner personally recommended and it was delicious. Always appreciate when someone can point you in the right direction with gluten free options. The whole vibe of the cafe is cozy and welcoming with lots of cute places to sit, read and hang out for a while. Perfect for catching up with friends or opening a book and pretending you're in your "main character at a coffee shop" era. They also have smoothies, great snacks and a small selection of items from local artisans which makes it even more fun to browse while you're there. If I lived closer, this would absolutely be one of those spots I'd pop into regularly for a latte and a quiet moment. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the Fairhaven area.
