My go to is The Orchards: melted Brie, Granny Smith apples, honey mustard and lettuce on a baguette. The home made peanut butter cookies are topped with chunks of peanut butter cups, fresh, and are absolutely delicious. There is seating inside and outside during good weather. The service has been prompt and polite each time I've been. My last visit was during MHC Friends and Family weekend and I was able to get in and out with a relatively short wait. I'll definitely miss visiting Tailgate Picnic when my daughter graduates.

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.

A bit on the pricey side but the people working were super nice and the pizza was ready when I was told. Walking back to my car I was impressed with how heavy the "small" pie was. It was hard to get home with the "Big Mac " aroma emitting from the box. Despite overwhelming urges I did manage to make it home before grabbing a slice. The first impression was impressive. Very generous portions of lettuce and tomato on the top was evident. Decent crust and good flavor but if the sauce amount was reduced by half I think I would have enjoyed it more. After two slices I was sauced out. A bit nauseating. Next time I would order with half the sauce.

Some of this was the refrigerated type with glass displaying the difference salads, entrees and desserts they make. Above these was a large menu board listing all the specialty sandwiches that could be made. They also had a nice variety of homemade soup that could be paired with a half of a sandwich. I chose the French dip to go. At home I was pleasantly impressed to find a nice portion of thinly sliced roast beef pilled high with Swiss cheese on a beautiful soft roll. It came with a small container of au ju to dip into. The beef was tender and moist (even without the dip) and had a great flavor. The au ju was great accompaniment to it and I really enjoyed it. I thought it was a good value for the $10 price and I'm excited to go back to try another of their sandwiches.

Especially the older lady with orange hair, who was seating the people who walked right in front of us. she had short orange hair and an unwelcoming demeanor. we were not impressed with her customer service at all. she only acknowledged the people she knew and ignored us for a good 45 minutes. we literally stood there for 45 minutes curious as to why she wouldnt even look at us. a simple "hello well be right with you" or something along the lines of that would have been suffice. even after finally being seated, i never recieved a text from the automated waiting list saying they were ready for my party. im discouraged about the last few times ive gone here. only because of the service and inaccurate wait times. this is not the first time this has happened unfortunately.

When you get to your table, there's a local newspaper there detailing all the goings on at Ludlow which I thought was a nice touch. They have daily specials written on a whiteboard and I ended up going with the Blueberry loaf French toast. It tasted amazing. Ordered coffee which was that New England blend that everyone here seems to love which.. is understandable but I'm personally not a big fan of but, ok, I drank it anyway. I was most surprised by how much mom loved her veggie omelette breakfast. She's the one in our family whose very much a picky eater and she devoured hers. The waitress had brought over a hot sauce that she says the owner makes himself and I have to admit it was pretty good!. Another person in our party had the breakfast sandwich special that comes with home fries for 6.99 and in this economy, that's a deal, huge portions (see pic) During my time here I also heard that their rye bread comes from the local Portuguese bakery. I don't know that they could've done anything else to make our time there better. It really was a 5 star experience for us. Hope it will be that way for you as well.
