A great cafe and equally wonderful spot for a lunch! I stopped in here on July 4th weekend…read more(actually it was July 4th) when all other spots in town were closed. We had our pup with us, so spots where we could sit down were even more limited, but luckily, a lunch at Familiars was only a very long line away. While the group waited outside at one of the sidewalk tables, I went inside to order at the counter. I got the chicken salad sandwich and have to say I was so surprised by how delicious it was. I'm not from here, so from just the outside and where you order, I thought they were a cafe first with food options, but nope. Definitely wrong, they make a great sandwich. And the coffees were also delicious! Baristas and team were all friendly, the space inside was very cool, cozy and comfortable and they had plenty of outside tables as well. You order at the counter and they will bring all of the food out to you, you also grab your own waters inside. A nice mix of casual and service. If I was local or visiting when I needed a space to bring my laptop and get some remote work done, this seems like a great option.

When I first discovered Familiars I thought: "Finally a decent place in N'Hampton (detractors and…read morerump swabs, please hold your whining). To be fair there's plenty to like about this place but the fall from grace is both unfortunate and was avoidable. It boils down to a poor decision to change coffee brands from the excellent Counter Culture to some small batch, no name mediocre choice. Perhaps when this small roaster goes out of business, they'll switch back. They've fortunately stuck with Iggy's for breads and treats and the service and vibe remain strong.

Truly a hidden gem tucked away in an alley in quirky little Northampton. The vibe is a unique blend…read moreof a rustic modern loft and a chemistry lab with quirky elements reminiscent of the Addams Family house. It exudes a genuinely one-of-a-kind atmosphere. Depending on your order, your drink might be served in an Erlenmeyer flask, beaker, or Mason jar--which is very cool! As for food, it may be served on what resembles a dissection tray, adding to the distinctive experience. Iconica Social Club is a great place to catch up with friends, go on a first date, find a chill spot to get some work done, or catch some tunes (they have live performances). I stopped by with a friend, and we ordered the Cardamon & Honey Latte, Dark Chocolate Mocha Latte, and a slice of the London Fog pound cake. All three were delicious! Our order was ready pretty quickly and the staff were very friendly and attentive. There is ample indoor seating and outdoor seating. There is a second level that we didn't check out, but there is seating there as well. Accessibility isn't an issue, as most of the establishment is a single story with a ramp leading to the main entrance. Plus, there are two gender-neutral bathrooms located on the main level. There isn't parking directly near Iconica, so you'll have to find parking either on Main Street or one of the smaller side streets. I'll definitely be stopping by again the next time I'm in Northampton. Highly recommend!

Amazing ambiance and charm. Kind of gothic/dark academia vibes. Some couches and lots of books…read moreupstairs. Only reason I can't give 5 stars is because the staff clearly forgot about my sandwich (45 minutes waiting + a follow up). But they were very polite. All in all, would recommend. Great spot.
