    short drive from Plymouth and nice scenery trip to Bethlehem Village. The granola offering is very good and tasty. Service is very good with smile. I will sampling several goodies at home. Worth the drive!!!!

    Black Sesame Iced Boba Latte
    Kathryn R.

    I stopped in here while visiting a friend who lives nearby. The staff here was extremely friendly and I was so impressed with their vegan options! I got a black sesame boba iced latte and a breakfast wrap with tofu. The wrap was pretty basic but was so well seasoned and filling! I am glad I stopped in and will definitely be back the next time I'm in the area!

    Delish! This is their (vegetarian) power bowl

    Great grab and go lunch spot for healthier options. Lots of Vegetarian options! I got the power bowl (tofu, roasted sweet potato, quinoa, sunflower seeds etc) which was hearty and delicious. They also have coffee and other items.

    What a pleasant surprise! Not gonna lie I had low expectations but this was a solid coffee stop. Nice menu options. I got an iced mocha and my husband and iced honey vanilla latte. Both were extremely smooth and flavorful. You could even taste the honey in my husband's drink, which basically never happens haha. Cute shop with wonderful welcoming baristas too.

    Selection of baked goods. Dog treats. Espresso !

    Little small spot with strong espressos brewing! Beautiful spot right next to mount Washington hotel ! Get your caffeine than go for that hike ! Nice people working here !

    My husband and I were visiting in the area and decided to try Maia Papaya. We enjoyed it so much that we went back on our second day, that rarely happens because my husband likes to try as many local coffee places as he can when we vacation. The staff are friendly, the prices good, and the selection is fantastic, including the sugar free coffee syrup choices-they have the most options of any coffee place I've been to in the last year. I highly recommend you check this place out. There is limited seating.

    Pesto Sandwich and Creamy Tomato Soup
    Abidah A.

    Lovely vegetarian and vegan options for the area! We had a hard time finding vegetarian options in the Carroll area until finding the Maia papaya. I had their pesto sandwich and tomato soup- was lovely on a very cold day! My husband had a breakfast burrito and it was FANTASTIC! We appreciated the local art work for sale around the shop. Very nice atmosphere and great customer service.

    The coffee was a little burnt but they make it to order and the breakfast sandwich I had was delicious. Definitely the right coffee stop on the way to Bretton Woods!

    Cold Mountain Cafe is a perfect stop to turn a long drive into a nice date!…read more We definitely recommend this place, it's a solid 4 that comes off like a 5! We've passed through Bethlehem, NH a few of times as we've traveled between Maine and New Hampshire. A couple weeks ago I noticed a glowing little eatery as we hurried west on Route 2 en route to UMass Amherst. I didn't catch the name of the restaurant I'd noticed, but our return l timing worked to stop for dinner in Bethlehem, so as we headed back, Cary scoured Google and Yelp ...and based upon the menus and ambiance, we settled on Cold Mountain Cafe. Turns out this was the spot. Inside was just as welcoming as I'd anticipated. Nothing against small New England towns, ...but IMO you can't EXPECT a well-rounded professional restaurant package when you're in "two-hours-from-anywhere, New Hampshire". And IMHO, sometimes these fresh-movement country places are presented like funky hippy brightly lit hardscaped cafe's with busy chalkboard menus that look like 60's concert posters. Not Cold Mountain Cafe -the music, lighting and decor was perfectly contemporary ...relaxing ...inviting comfortable conversation. The menu and pricing were well thought out, offering an assortment of cultural fare with asian, french, American, East Indian entrees that ranged from smash-burger, pot pie comfort food, to bistro steak and seared scallops. Unexpected additions like bean cake and Indian lamb stew entrees offered a pleasant, funky twist. Entrees ranged from $19 to $38. The two drinks we tried were really great! I had the Brooklyn and Cary had the Espresso Lovers Martini. I think Cary put it perfectly when she said that the Brooklyn was like desert! The espresso martini was notable because it was made with rum, instead of vodka and it used fresh espresso, giving it a luscious Tia Maria feel. Both drinks had a wonderful silky smooth mouth feel. The waitstaff was not uniformed, but in semi-formal server attire with all black garments and waist aprons. The service was friendly, professional and attentive... our waitress brought us some warm crispy tender dinner rolls with garlicky seasoned oil dipping sauce, took our orders at our pace and checked in on us throughout the meal. The mushroom polenta app was great... smooth, creamy and fresh with balanced earthy woodsy and smoky notes. The pea soup was a bit brighter and fresher than I'm used to (growing up in Boston, my mom made the best pea soup ...a more hearty version with pork meat always made in the days following a smoked shoulder meal), but in the New England small town country, farm-fresh motif, we liked the bright, fresh pea flavors... Cary was concerned about what she would order because she was put off by the steak entree's smoked Gouda sauce. So she had the lamb stew, which was a compromise. Me? I'd spent the previous couple of days at a hotel hanging around UMass, which means a lot more carbs than I want... smash burgers, burritos, eggs Bennies... oof! So I definitely was feeling like something light... and decided to be crazy and try the bean cake. Cary's stew was nice. It didn't hit you over the head, but it had balanced signature Indian flavors, and was nicely presented. We're not volume-conscious but both thought it could have had a couple more pieces of lamb. I enjoyed my bean cake -although I don't really have anything to compare it to. The waitress said it was hearty, so I rolled the dice. I'd probably try it again... it flavorful and satisfying. The chèvre and ginger dressing supplied a good level of moisture and flavor notes to the breaded spiced bean and rice patty. I'd add that the plating on a bed of fresh spinach presented a little bit of a challenge as I had to pierce a few baby fresh spinach leafs at a time, then add the bean cake... but it was manageable... The menu changes seasonally, so we're looking forward to checking in on our next pan New England journey.

    I will admit I was being snobby, how good can "cafe" food be in a small little town. Well, VERY. It…read morewas crowded and so we sat at the bar, but the girl was kind, answered all my million questions and I had one of the best noodle dishes around.

    I absolutely love this place! My family and I have been patrons for about 10 years now and we…read morealways have a great experience there. We were on vacation in NH this weekend and this place was an absolute must go. I got the half stack pancakes with plain chocolate chip, whole wheat blueberry, and their special which was oatmeal granola. All were absolutely amazing. My mom got the buttermilk blueberry and gingerbread walnut- these two are our absolute favorite combos. We also got a side of their homemade wheat toast and home fries. If you go, you must get their home fries because they are arguably the best item on the menu, besides pancakes of course lol. My dad got a ham and cheese omelette, with a choice of 2 or 3 eggs (he got 3), which comes with home fries and toast. I also tried their iced lattes for the first time ever and I'm disappointed I never got it before. I got an iced latte with salted caramel flavor and whip cream which was amazing. Their menu is full of variety and they are so many substitutions and add ons you can make. Different combos of pancake batter and toppings, cheese and onions on home fries, different flavors of toast, etc. All the employees are so friendly too. Every time we've eaten here, the waiter/waitress is always so kind and friendly and attentive. Our waitress today, Lisa, was especially awesome. The food comes out in a decent amount of time too. Beware that they get VERY VERY busy once camping season starts, around Memorial Day weekend and continuing throughout the summer. You could be looking at a wait time of at least 2 hours on a weekend in the summer if you get there after 8 or 9am. They don't take calls for a waitlist, you have to be there to put your name on a list to wait. Since we went early May, we had no wait whatsoever. Please give this place your business, they deserve it and will not disappoint!!!
