    Iced latte
    Kim V.

    We happened to walk by and saw that it was packed. I looked up the reviews before entering, they were great. The interior was trendy, rustic, and industrial. There were seats outside and inside. There was a line but it moved quickly. I didn't realize it's a chain of about 11 locations in NH, MA, ME, NY, and VT. This cafe started in Manchester, VT in 1988. They're environmentally conscious and provide fresh food/drinks using local suppliers. Not only do they offer good food/drinks, they are a good company that is for the environment; I am for that. I had an iced latte and the Sunrise burrito. The burrito had eggs, quinoa, avocado, bacon, sweet potato, VT cheddar, and pico de Gallo. This was so good! One of the best burritos I've had in a long time. The service was friendly and fast. I wish we had this place near us! I would be there weekly lol.

    Say you're on your way back to Northern Maine from a holiday visit and you need somewhere to grab lunch and a mocha, what do you do!? Obviously you stop at the Works because not only was the mocha rich and delicious, they serve like 8 kinds of mac and cheese!? The lox bagel even had capers and everything. 10/10 for cozy vibes taking advantage of the classic New England brick interior. And all dishes were compostable, I cannot come up with a single suggestion for improvement.

    Busy place, but I can see why! Very organized and efficient crew back there handling the constant lines. Not a lot of seating but many come in for their "to-gos". We both ordered breakfast sandwiches and they were DELICIOUS. I have to say, the Works' sourdough bread recipe is absolutely PERFECT. This is the only place I would order anything on sourdough. And the fact that it's freshly baked is a huge bonus. Besides not having enough seating to accommodate the volume of customers, the cafe has a nice vibe and smells so good- fresh coffee and bread baking. Great friendly staffing and good food. Highly recommend!

    A Work bagel with turkey bacon avocado love the fast service these bagels. They're the best bagels I've had in a long time. Keep up the great work.

    Turkey, avocado, BLT.

    Forgot how good the Works Bakery is. This turkey, avocado, BLT is my go to sandwich and is always delicious.

    Well-lit, comfortable indoor dining

    We really love this restaurant, and usually this location. We ordered 2 appetizers and 2 meals. We…read morewaited maybe 20 mins and they brought our food out, but never the apps. They offered to put them in now, but we decided to decline. Server came over to apologize in a very casual way, like maybe she forgets a lot of things through out the day (I could never be a server, so I get it) but she did write down our order and she verified dipping sauce, so I don't really know how she forgot to put our order in correctly. I honestly just chalked it up to us being fat so we didn't really need them anyway, oh well. This location is convenient, so we will be back, but I do prefer the Portsmouth location, or even Bedford. But this one is good too, it just seems like on the days they are open later, the staff is a little less... helpful. Maybe we will stick to brunch hours and see how that works. The menu here has also changed, and we really miss the old menu. The selections are now mediocre, and things you could get anywhere else. I miss the unique menu of things that were creative and layered, and just different. The menu now consists of 2 small pages, with pancakes, omelets, eggs Benedict, burritos, and a few lunch options with burgers. The hot chick sandwich is really great, but it was better before when it was called something else. It feels like the menu went a little *New England white tastebuds* instead of keeping the flavorful, unique items. I'm only taking away one star for the menu change. Our server not putting our order in correctly was annoying, especially since I only order apps because my blood sugar was low and thought they'd come out quickly, but it wasn't enough to keep me from coming back. I just hope they will bring back the old menu.

    Wonderful little lunch stop!…read more It was full of locals and regulars and on a wait for lunch. At that moment I knew I had picked a good spot! We chilled with the folks up front for a good bit before getting a table. It seemed we were the only people that had not been here 30-40 times before. Most people didn't even want menus and the sweet server ladies just brought them food without conversation at all. It's kind of old school feeling inside. It's an open kitchen and you can see all of the action. Inside is all wooden and rustic. It reminds me of my grandmas house in Camden TN. Not sure why. It's just really comfortable in here to me. The tile and fireplaces make super cozy. This place has some of the best chili that I have had in a long time. I dig the fact they give tortilla shops automatically with the chili. Win!! Thick and meaty and oh so filled with spice and love!! Cheese on top was a nice touch too. Really liked it! My French dip was fucking killer!! So damn big too! I could only eat half of it because of the the fire ass chili I had already eaten. French fries were battered type. Nothing wrong with that!! I drove around with this sandwich for two days of travel and ate it on the road later. Stupendous French dip!! C had an open faced roast beef sandwich. FIRE!! The green beans were so pretty and fresh too. She could barely get 1/3 down, lol. It was a ton of food. Economical! Hometown feel! Good people working and eating here! I love it!! I'm not even sure I could find the place again. I sure am glad I did the first time! '26 -39
