The staff are always so friendly and everyone is always so sweet.

I love this place. First time I visited, I walked into the old building, smelled the coffee and…read morebakery, looked around at the comfy casual setting with folks enjoying themselves, and thought "Ahh - now THIS is a coffeehouse!" I've been back several times, and if I lived in Amherst I'd be a regular. The bakery items I sampled were fresh and well made. IDK if they were made in house, or from a local artisan, but they matched the quality of AC's coffee. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, barista skilled without the attitude. Like I said - I wished I lived in Amherst, so I could take up residence at the corner table.

Amherst Coffee is a solid little spot right in the heart of downtown Amherst, tucked inside a…read morehistoric building that still shows off what looks like its original woodwork and old New England charm. There's plenty of seating, both inside and out, and the patio is the perfect place to soak up a beautiful day. The staff who took my order for an iced mocha latte couldn't have been friendlier, all smiles and welcoming. The person who brought it out, though, served it with just enough classic Northeast attitude to remind me I wasn't in Texas anymore, and somehow it fit the place perfectly. Sitting outside, watching students hustle by and friends linger over coffee, it was easy to see why this place is a local favorite. Amherst Coffee captures exactly what you hope to find in a quintessential New England college town: good coffee, good people, a little personality, and just enough Boston-style edge to keep it authentic.

I pulled off the Mass Pike in search of coffee & found this lil place thanks to Yelp. It's cute,…read morewith lots of nearby parking available. I ordered their specialty latte (I think it was called honeybun? Honeybee? Honey something) & asked for it iced, half-sweet, with oat milk. It was still very, very sweet, so I'm glad I asked for half. There was absolutely nothing gluten-free available to eat, unfortch. I would not return if I was hungry in the area, but I might return for a fancy lil latte as a treat. Lots of windows, great natural light, nice staff. Overall sweet spot.

Absolute heaven if I do say so myself. I don't know if they redid the menu, seems like they did as I saw a lot more options this time around and the prices seemed more reasonable as well. I got a medium sized cafe au lait for just under $4 delicious by the way. Snuggled into a cozy chair and began reading my novel. There's lots of comfortable seating, and service is always friendly.

Apparently, ordering your drink hot is somewhat frowned upon here, which gave me a good laugh. I saw they had a drink called the Dumbledore, and that was all the convincing I needed to order it. It was good, although I ended up wanting it a little sweeter for my personal taste. I also liked that they offer a loyalty card that gets stamped with each purchase. It's a nice touch for regular customers. Overall, it was a great experience. The atmosphere was lively, the coffee was good, and it's easy to see why so many locals love this place. I only wish I had more time to try some of their other signature drinks. I'd definitely stop by again if I'm in the area.

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.

I got one of their spring specials, the Sugar Bush Latte. The latte had the perfect amount of flavor and not too much sweetness (which I prefer).

The iced americano (unsweet) confirmed that their espresso was DELISH.
