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.

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.

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!

West Street Coffee & Tea

For a café with more serving space than cooking space, you'd think they couldn't pack a punch, but…read morethey do. The café here, West Street Coffee & Tea, uses their square footage to pack a few tables, and a bookshelf or two with possibly the proprietor's gifted collection for customers to read. The West Street Coffee & Tea helps you feel at home stopping in for some coffee, a selection of a quick breakfast sandwich, a pastry from the bakery across the parking lot, or some other treat. I have enjoyed a quality and consistency of service, not only filling out punches on my loyalty card, but appreciating both my drinks and my meal. The kitchen staff has served me quickly when they are not my talented cashier and barista as well--though do consider this a compliment worth tipping the staff for their ability to know how to run a café in part or in whole. The West Street Coffee & Tea boasts a humble parking lot, but the sizable line of parking spaces allows cars to park and then usually drive forward to depart. This fits that the five to six tables are set well in each of the rooms they rest, with ample light from the interior and exterior. I could imagine the drink staff would keep up with a variety of orders that are park and departing, so be mindful that there is parking at other corners of the plaza rotary on busy hours like at other restaurants within Amherst. Busses do travel by, and I'd suppose those from the PVTA that go between Amherst and Hampshire might even stop here. For a quite accessible location, I can only imagine they enjoy being a secret delight of this area of south and east Amherst.
