Super chicken panini and Mac and cheese
Anushka M.

We were staying right next to the works so we decided to try it out. We got the super chicken panini and Mac and cheese, and I got an iced vanilla latte for coffee. Food was really good, especially the panini. Coffee was ok, tasted watered down and a bit artificial. Overall a good quick breakfast spot.

Chicken broccoli pesto Mac and cheese
Nicole B.

I really enjoyed the Mac and cheese, ive never had a Mac and cheese feel healthy and truly filling. My boyfriend got the barbecue chicken melt, I took a bite and it was pretty good. The service was good, the workers seemed to get along well. The cafe itself is very quaint, students seem to go there to study and it's not the quietest for those who want a pin drop silent cafe. I personally loved it.

Bacon avocado sandwich
Candie G.

We were looking for outdoor seating, and this had that going for it plus a variety of foods to accommodate for different peoples taste, including a vegetarian. The sandwiches were good and the wuinoa bowls were satisfying. Service is fast and there is a lot of seating, both indoors and outdoors. This is a great café for the town of Amherst. Also it's very conveneient if you have a dog you can sit outside.

Barley soup and Southwestern BBQ grilled sandwich.
Mike T.

I had a great lunch here. I had a southwestern BBQ chicken sandwich and barley soup. Prices are good. Ambience is nice an cozy. Wide selection of vegetarian and vegan options. Ice coffee was great too.

sunrise breakfast burrito
Sophia A.

there are very few things that can be relied on in this world, and the sunrise breakfast burrito is one of them. it's absolutely delightful. every. single. time. a singular bite on the morning after a night on the town will make you want to kiss the chef on the lips. not actually. but like maybe? it's simply that good. (see image two with the burrito remnants.) i cannot recommend this place enough.

I don't know what happened to the order today, but it differs from what I usually get. I ordered online for pick-up ASAP (15 minutes) a cheese, scrambled egg, and sausage breakfast sandwich on dark toasted French batard. Everything was cold, and the bread was lightly toasted. Couldn't eat it because I didn't have access to a toaster or a microwave. I think all workers in each shift should be trained to prepare the food the same way. Hopefully, next time, I'll get the order right so I can continue being a loyal customer.

Mac and cheese with kale, roasted red onions, roasted red peppers, and goat cheese but you couldn't taste any goat cheese

Ask the Community - The Works Bakery Cafe

Is the outdoor dining safely distanced so that two people can meet, eat and talk at a safe 6-foot distance?

Yes, but you'd be wasting tables doing that. There are only a few tables so it'd be courteous to sit with your party. If you're afraid of your friends perhaps FaceTime them instead.

My husband has also been known to hop on his motorcycle, make the 3 hour drive out and back, just for their sandwiches. Quality is fantastic. Menu is varied and so delicious, and there is something here for every dietary need amd sensitivity. The staff is fantastic and service is quick. It does get busy, so consider ordering online. We do love eating there since the vibe is so chill. Seating inside gets you plenty of cool retro posters amd outside a great view of Amherst. We love The Black Sheep!!!!

The ordering process was confusing. It asked you to omit things that you didn't want on the sandwich and it made it seem like the sandwich would include lots of different ingredients. Actually, it didn't include very many ingredients at all. If you wanted more ingredients like Cheese and mayonnaise and cucumbers and carrots for example, you had to pay extra for those ingredients. I got the half sandwich and it was pretty modest portion. It was enough but only just. I also ordered chips, a drink and a cookie. My lunch was over $20. I believe the total cost was $23. The drink alone was over three dollars. This is a very expensive place to get lunch. This was a one and done for me. I will not be returning to the Black Sheep.

We've been to a lot of the restaurants in Northampton and decided to jump over to Amherst to try a new to me restaurant. This was a cold and damp afternoon, only a day after a snow storm. Mom was excited to order her Tofu Bahn Mi, but I was really looking forward to a big bowl of hot Chicken Pho and a Summer Roll. Our friend tried the Rice Bowl with Steak and Shrimp and a Bao Bun which was delicious. My mom loved her sandwich. The bread alone was enough to make me decide that I must try one next time. My Pho broth was well flavored. The chicken pieces were slightly smaller than what I'm used to from other places, but there was plenty to enjoy. There was an adequate amount of noodles, basil, sprouts and jalapeños. My Summer Roll, while quite enjoyable, was a little difficult to eat. I'm used to having my roll cut in half and this was served whole. The wrapper started to fall apart at one point, but I made sure that I didn't lose anything. Our friend's bowl was good and filling and we were told that the bun was delicious,

Animated and action packed Update-…read more Previously I focused on the coffee, most would in a cafe, but today, I was thinking of the baked goods, I usually keep things low carb, but since I was here I decided to make today my treat day. I had returned to the area for some shopping and decided to stop by the cafe, but alas, I was too late ! I had reminisced on the delicious cookies but it was not to be. My memory returned to my first visit.. As I stepped into the warm and inviting cafe, the sweet aroma of coffee and freshly baked goods wafts through the air, tickling the nose and captivating the taste buds. One can't help but feel anticipation and search for the source of this wondrous scent, the eyes dart to a display of baked goods brimming with life and love declaring forth their delightsome quality to the nostrils. Each bite of these heavenly treats is like a symphony of flavors exploding in your mouth. The cookies are perfectly soft and chewy, with just the right amount of sweetness, and melt in your mouth like butter. You can taste the high-quality ingredients in every bite, and it's clear that the bakers here take pride in crafting each and every cookie with care and precision. But it's not just the cookies that impress. As one peruses the display case, the eyes catch sight of the cinnamon-buns , many more treats, and even pretzels - twisted and golden-brown, with a sprinkling of salt that glistens in the light. I don't even typically enjoy pretzels, but these were too good to ignore. I take a bite, and it's like no pretzel experienced before. The outside is perfectly crispy, giving way to a warm and fluffy interior. The salt balances out the flavors, you can't help but be amazed at how something so simple can taste so incredible. As i leave the cafe, my senses still buzzing with the delicious flavors and scents. Everything in this cafe is highly recommended, and some of the best baked goods in the area. But today it was not to be, I went to a nearby franchise shop which specializes in cookies... nice staff but .. meh If your in the area and want a cookie this is the place I recommend, take caution though, it could ruin the experience of cookies anywhere else!

What a great place! My second time here, years after the first and finally finishing my review.read more

Before the menu change, I ordered a vegan tofu reuben with their delicious slaw, called a "Cosmos."…read more It was so good, I ordered it again, thinking it was impossible for them to get it right two times in a row. They did. So I came back a THIRD time and ordered it AGAIN, just to see if they can still keep their vegan cheese melted just right on top. It was incredible, AGAIN. Now that I've gotten this out of the way, ask where it is on their new menu as it is under revision--I don't like the tempeh version as much. Onto the rest of the atmosphere of Cushman. One of the most pleasant features of Cushman Market and Cafe is that it is nestled at an important corner in northeast Amherst. You need to travel further west to get to The Mill District and not much opens there early, and there's little else I can recall in the other cardinal directions. It's a pleasant trip, with plenty of parking in front, behind, and in a strip of side road across the street. I've never been in the market, so let me keep talking about the Cafe. The atmosphere of the Cafe is wonderful, with locals, safety officers, and regulars all visiting at each meal hour from breakfast to lunch. Nestled inside what looks like an old barn, complete with doors still hanging, Cushman has memorabilia from decades of music, sports, politics, and news frozen under acrylic, different for many of their tables. The café seems to have at most 20 chairs, and the staff behind the counter will deliver it to your table, call your name, or leave other orders by a stand near the back entrance. Cushman Cafe offers a variety of meals, alongside baked goods and freshly mixed café drinks. While I'm not a fan of the switcherels, I have enjoyed their dirty Chai lattes, iced teas, fresh coffees, and free water if I recall in a pinch. They have gender neutral bathrooms--which is great if you're tired of waiting in line for one of two as they are large but single occupancy. They offer cold panini sandwiches, hot panini, all sorts of eggs, egg sandwiches, and egg breakfasts, vegan and vegetarian options, alongside a seemingly visible carnivorous focus for their new menu's default. If you had a chance to hop on a bus and travel around Amherst, or you were passing through to the highways, Cushman Cafe is worth a quick stop. I've rarely had to wait long for my meals even in busy hours, and this is because of the large and competent kitchen, who--if you'll remember--can get a delicious sandwich right any day of the week. I hope cell service returns there!
