Coffee selection
Bill U.

The coffee is fantastic and the service was great. The space is wide open and inviting. The blueberry muffin was baked perfectly and was yum.

This place has the WORKS! Need breakfast? They have muffins, bagels, and coffee. Want a more filling lunch? They have sandwiches, salads, and soups. Want a post workout pick me up? They have smoothies and juices. When I saw how large the menu was, I was skeptical. And I think they made it work... kind of. I got the artichoke sandwich which was a unique combo but it really tasty. The cheese paired well with the artichoke and didn't overpower it. My only complaint is that the bread got pretty soggy and fell apart. This place has plenty of seating if you want to sit and study. However, even tough it was pretty empty my order took a while to make. Next time I'd order ahead for pickup instead. Overall, there are a few options to choose from in this area and this isn't a bad one. But, it wouldn't be my first choice to go back to.

Bacon egg and cheese on 'toasted' bread

Atrocious product for $9. Might be worth it if they double the bacon and egg for the same price

The Farmer's Veggie sandwich
Lili S.

The veggie sandwich was hearty and healthy. The peanut butter smoothie had too much almond milk, so it tasted bland and had a watery consistency. The mac and cheese was the perfect amount and had the gooiest consistency. I will be back.

Bacon Avocado  Bowl with Spinach Cajun quinoa and boiled egg

Ambience: Casual vibe little college cafe, clean and open floor plan with great outside lighting. Food: Great menu choices with all day breakfast bowls, breakfast burritos and sandwiches. Bagels and pastries. Good selection of vegetables and fruits smoothies and a variety of coffee drinks. We had the Bacon Avocado bowl which arrived warm, a pleasant surprise to a cold early afternoon; Chicken Melt sandwich was perfectly toasted with warm grilled chicken and of course melted cheese. The Green Machine smoothie was another pleasant surprise for its thick ingredients, can't remember if there was Oak Milk but it was lightly sweetened with no residual veggies tastes. All very delicious. Service: It's self-serve. Menus are clearly visible. Register and servers at the counters are all friendly

Cute cafe in a perfect neighborhood. I imagine the Dartmouth students and faculty must frequent this place. Great location. Surprisingly not air conditioned, or maybe the day I went, the air wasn't blowing high (came on one of the super hot days of August). Of course that always turns your stomach when it's not cool and refreshing. And there was a man putting up signage (new menu signs?) while they were making my order. The ladder was directly over the sandwich making area and I was nervous about how clean his crocs were being inches from my sandwich. That being said, our sandwiches were absolutely delicious. The young man that took our order was super friendly and patient. The ingredients in our sandwiches were super fresh, for being so late in the day, and my sourdough bread was incredible. It seemed like it was freshly baked hours ago. Overall, I would order from this establishment again, but probably not eat there (we got take out) and try not to notice my surroundings as much! Would recommend as long as you're not OCD like me!

Gluten free breakfast sandwich

Mr. I got the sausage egg & cheese on a cheese bagel and it was amazing. Easily becoming a go to spot for me to get breakfast. This is a five star pick for me and I would be open to trying other items off their delicious looking menu. Mrs. I got a sausage egg and cheese and added turkey and onion. It was also amazing, super flavorful and juicy. They are really good about gluten allergy which is reassuring. I have never had a reaction at the works and it is always super yummy!

If you want NY style bagels without the road trip you need to give them a try. A wide variety and lots of fun cream cheese options.

It has a cozy, rustic vibe that's not trying to do too much. Open at 8am this is a great spot to grab breakfast or lunch- with an all day breakfast sandwich menu. The food came out really quick which is good if you are rushing to class! I got the Miss Marple and a twice baked chocolate almond croissant. The miss Marple was really good; I picked the whole wheat sourdough which was delightfully thick cut which was needed given it was stuffed fully with egg, avocado, tomato. This sandwich was very filling and you could definitely share one. The twice baked croissant was decadent and I would definitely get it again. I've never seen anything like it- it was a like a traditional chocolate croissant with the almond marzipan filling. I would definitely recommend trying it! Overall, I wouldn't pass (umple)BY this bakery without giving it a try!

I was curious about the difference between the small and large sizes for hot drinks for here. I was…read moreassured that there was a size difference. Okay... I bought the 16oz (large) for a hot latte and was given practically a 12oz, which I didn't complain about, but the difference in cost between the two is literally over a dollar. Lied to and scammed.

If…read moreyou are going between 10am-12pm, expect a wait, and possibly to use street parking because the parking lot is rather small (not easy to turn around in if other patrons are also looking for parking). That said, the coffee, food, and service are worth it! There are two seating rooms and one of them opens out to restrooms and a very small shopping/business mall. The tables and chairs are thick, heavy, rustic wood reminiscent of a country kitchen, and the acoustics are pretty good! No echoes or a need to yell to friends or family at your own table. The service is stellar! Lots of students work here and they are top notch. The food is outstanding. Their hash browns are literally the best I have ever had. They are wispy and crispy, and will not leave grease on your plate or in your belly. The eggs are always perfect, no matter how you ask for them, and the pancakes are the best you can get without making them yourself at home. They are served with a syrup, but for $2.00 extra (at the time of this posting), you can get real maple syrup instead. By the way, their coffee is not limited to regular and decaf. There is a delightful coffee drinks menu for options to enjoy at your table or to go! Tucker's also does take out, so you really have not excuse to miss this delightful place.

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!!!
