The Dam Cafe

Large portions but maybe it was an off day my eggs burnt my potatoes weren't cooked all the way Imy meal came with toast who eats the ends of the bread normally you trow that part a way because rhoes pieces are smaller than the others and then throw a big gob of butter on my toast, I get 2 plate size pan cakes and you get 1/3of a cup of syrup. Also I see sometimes they would deliver food to tables and some times they would call you up to pick up your own food. No one was wiping off tables after patrons would sit down. And leave

1st timer here - I really enjoyed The Dam Cafe. I got a reuben & chips.
The place was clean, service was fast, the price was very reasonable & it tasted good. I'd definitely recommend stopping by.

First time stopping in here. I got the raspberry iced tea and breakfast potatoes. Both were delicious. The potatoes were some of the biggest breakfast potatoes I’ve ever seen. They were so crunchy on the bottom. Some of the best I’ve ever had. The staff was very friendly and the cafe has a cozy vibe to it.

The review in no way reflects the server who was understanding and just following rules. But the customer relations of the establishment is poor. A waste of $20! My sugar cookie latte tasted great but was served on the cold side of warm. The Florence sandwich was so dry it scratched my throat the few bites I had. I thought it would be easy enough to just ask for some more pesto to help with the dryness and they were going to CHARGE me for it! (Only the inside of the top had any pesto and it was spare. Underneath, nothing.) The cheesecake pumpkin muffin was stale and makes me nervous to try the lemon poppy I bought. With it being so popular you’d think they could spare extra pesto to make what they served up edible. Ridiculous.

Took a trip to Holyoke recently for my Birthday. This Cafe became a go-to place for Breakfast. The Hash and Omelets are filling. Came here 4 times in 6 days. Highly Recommend this place!!

The place is great for brunch. They have a rotating special drink menu as well as fresh baked cupcakes and muffins and other pastries. The actual food is really solid and they give great portion sizes. The prices are a little high but it's due to inflation, but I definitely hope they come down soon. The staff are all amazing folks with good customer service skills and are always very warm and Inviting. There isn't a real negative thing about this place with the exception that the prices are just a bit high. Otherwise, I always recommend this to folks who have never been.

Was a quiet rainy day when my girlfriend and I went, got lunch and loved the place! They gave us a little toy dinosaur as a table marker and were very friendly! The food was great and the atmosphere was nice. Would definitely stop in sometime to check it out!

Nice little sandwich shop. Friendly staff, quick service. The sandwich and salad we got were really good. We also got a couple lattes to go, they were decent but barely had any coffee flavor.

I live right in the neighborhood, so we order from here fairly often. Food is good, but the staff are sloppy when it comes to reading the order instructions.

If I request something like "no horseradish" or "add bacon" or "sub american cheese for cheddar", my order comes assembled per the menu, even if the special request is something I paid extra for. It's happened five or six times now, both with in-person and online orders. Doesn't matter if it's a busy it slow day, either.

Staff is good about fixing it when we dine in, but it's a real pain when we order to-go and only find out when we get home. I'm lucky not to have any allergies or diet restrictions. From now on I'm sticking to menu items that I like as they are.

You can get a bagel or a pancake pretty safely. Otherwise, it's more miss than hit. Used to go here every weekend. Not anymore

All of the donuts and cupcakes are dry. They look good but they are definitely not. The donuts in particular are really bad. The muffins are ok but don't order one grilled as they will grill the muffin with the wrapper on. Melting plastic into your muffin.

They absolutely play favorites. People who order well after you will receive their food well before you. Even if all you order is a toasted bagel and the other person gets a big hot meal. It's quite frustrating. I would find my daughter and myself waiting for almost a half an hour upon every visit. They literally would not start our order until I complained. This happened so many times in a row that we started going to a different breakfast spot entirely.

I've also ordered a breakfast sandwich. The bacon was cold and chewy. The whole thing was dripping with grease and tasted like burnt grease. I've tried the wings, the burger, and a few other items on the menu. They were all disappointing.

The coffee has been stale every time I've ordered it. Usually around 8:00 AM
