Amazing customer service, fantastic location, and great selection of baked goods and coffee. I love their fruit tarts and maple lattes! A good place to be at if you'd like to read a book, study , work or meet up with friends. One thing to note though is that they do not have any outlet and no wifi during the weekends.

Everything I wanted and more. Thrilled with the gluten free waffle option to put my yenta sandwich on! Fast and friendly service.

Hands down the BEST cupcake I’ve ever had and it was vegan! I ordered the chocolate cupcake with raspberry icing and I’m still dreaming about it. I would drive up there from Brooklyn just for that cupcake.

I hate to give local businesses a low rating but for The Roost, my hands are tied.
I love the environment, its very much a Northampton hipster decor theme but when it comes to the food i think you can find a much better AND cheaper place just down the street.
I ordered a chai because it is my favorite drink in the whole variety of drinks. This chai i got was small, luke warm and tasted like watered down green tea, the foam on top was unnecessary and didn't have any flavor.
Although their Itty Bitty Sandwich SLAPS, all the other sandwiches are basically tomatoes and lettuce between half- warmed up bread.
The staff is very nice and considerate with their plating, although i cannot enjoy the food due to the recipe behind it.
I realize it may just be my taste buds that don't enjoy the food but as a cafe in town i do hope it stays open.
Best luck to you and your staff!

The Roost is a local and tourist favorite. The food is excellent. There is a wonderful selection of pastries and other fun confections. The coffee is top notch. There are lovely up cycled tables and seating. There are fun decorations and board games to play with. My only constructive criticism is price vs. amount for the value is slightly unbalanced. Maybe offer coupons or sales once and a while to show loyal locals your appreciation?

This was my favorite cafe when I was in college. I used to love sitting in the window with a sangria, a slice of cake, and an essay. Went back a few weeks ago and though I miss the ambiance inside, the quality of the food hasn't changed. Great service even for takeout and excellent baked goods.

I used to really love this place until their kitchen staff placed me on hold for upwards of 15-20 mins multiple times over a span of 3 months.
When I had enough, I went and chatted with one of the staff on the phone who rudely told me it was my fault that I called during their busiest times.
Now, I under you have lunch rushes but that interaction was the worst attempt of an apology.
If you like overpriced food with snobby staff who don't seem to be consistent in their service then this place is perfect for you

Good food, vegan and gluten free options (clearly labelled), and a good atmosphere. Coffee is good and they have a cool menu section where you can put together a charcuterie/vesper board with the items you want. Staff is friendly enough, sometimes a bit standoffish but I don't hold it against them. Review is four stars as there are 0 outlets in this place to be able to charge your laptop. My laptop battery is shot and only lasts for an hour and a half, so it's kind of a waste to come and buy a coffee to do work if I can't stay for that long. The clear intention is to stop people from camping all day but it seems a bit ridiculous to me.

Freshest salads I've ever eaten! I think I've tried just about everything here. Never had something below top-quality! Service is friendly. Perfect place for a coffee date, studying with a group or solo, or just reading and enjoying your lunch. Walkable from town. Not a lot of power outlets, so make sure your electronics are adequately charged!
