    Kitchen fee
    Adam L.

    At the time of my original visit, this business charged customers an undisclosed (completely unposted) "kitchen appreciation fee" markup of 2% on all sales at retail, which only appears on your receipt at/after time of payment. This fee is not listed on the menu, displayed at the counter, or disclosed verbally prior to the transaction, making it impossible for customers to give informed consent. Because it is automatically applied and not optional, this may constitute a deceptive and unfair business practice under Massachusetts consumer protection law (Chapter 93A). This is a sneaky way to treat customers. The food was good, but I cannot give more than 2 stars for this kind of hidden fees billing practice as it's unethical. If you want to raise your prices by 2%.. just do that. Don't tack on a hidden fee. **** In response to the owner's reply: **** I do plan to visit again in the future, and if the fee is disclosed as promised, I would be willing to give a 4 star review, but I still very much disagree with the practice of additional fees rather than the putting it into the price. I still object fundamentally to a separate fee structure in the same way I would object to seeing extra fees for heating bills, electricity and wifi on my bill. It feels like a dark pattern you see Comcast and Verizon engaging in on telecoms bills, and I certainly do not welcome it elsewhere. While this practice may be just legal depending on disclosures, there are still other ways to solve this problem, and the 2 stars is warranted for the lack of disclosure I experienced. If you would like better reviews, your practices need to change. Price and overall experience is part of quality, and I left with a sour taste in my mouth. You can pay the back of the house more to compensate for the wage/tip gap, and raise prices. I don't need a warm feeling about paying the BOH staff better at the expense of getting ambushed with a hidden fee. I'd much rather pay the higher up-front all-in cost and know what i'm paying for. More to the point: I understand the reasoning behind implementing the 2% kitchen appreciation fee, and I don't dispute your intentions. However, intent does not excuse poor execution, especially when it comes to mandatory charges that are only revealed after the point of sale. The issue is simple: there was no disclosure--none--prior to payment. The fee was not listed on the menu, not posted at the register, and not mentioned by staff. By the time a customer sees it, they've already paid or at very least placed the order. That's not transparency, and it's not a minor detail. It's a textbook example of a hidden charge, and I left my review accordingly. While I appreciate your plan to post signage going forward, the policy as it stood during my visit was misleading, and I still fundamentally disagree with the practice when there are other non-hidden-fees ways to solve these issues. A refund on request or an internal FAQ doesn't change the fact that your team failed to inform me or give me a choice. That undermines trust, and that's exactly the kind of experience Yelp is designed to help other customers understand.

    Butter croissant
    Rebecca D.

    I've come here a few times and everything I've gotten has been delicious! The ambiance is very cozy cafe-vibes with both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is especially lovely because you sit right by the brook. The service is usually good, although last time I was there the woman ringing me up was pretty miserable. Just having a bad day I assume. Most recently I came for a mid-morning treat. I got their dark roast coffee and a croissant. The coffee is always good (I believe the brand they use is Karma Coffee) and the croissant was buttery, flaky perfection. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

    Cold Brew with Caramel

    The sandwiches here were delicious! On a Saturday around noon, the line was pretty long but it moved quickly. We ordered the Great Meadow (and added turkey) and the Minuteman sandwiches. The bread was so fresh and tasty and both sandwiches were big! Would definitely come here again.

    This place got me through a hard time of my life. I would come here to escape and build my own sandwich and grab the "Secret Garden" latte. The service is very good, my favorite person is Grace, who was kind enough to remember my abstract order. It's located next to a brook which is nice to sit by in warmer weather and eat outside to get a bit of vitamin D.

    Alcott Sandwich with Parma Prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, basil, garlic aioli. I chose to have it on the rosemary garlic bread.
