Sky’s the limit at this place, flavor wise. Bean toast all day.

Very nice place, helpful staff and delicious Chai latte! Can't wait to go back and try the food! One of the only places open during the morning.

Great place for a cup of coffee with friends. They have a unique assortment of menu items. The small biscuits with their jam are the best biscuits I've eaten. Given my love of biscuits and my southern Grandmother, this is saying something. It's a small place, cozy, and you can get refills on coffee if you run into people you know and happen to stay a bit longer than you'd intended. This is much appreciated! Lastly, stop by the bathroom...it's unique and laugh-out-loud funny.

Great little coffee spot, and the food is excellent as well! Nice chill vibe, and the staff are all super nice. Definitely recommend the breakfast sandwiches or the biscuits with maple butter.

This place is absolutely phenomenal. Vegan leaning but doesn't even matter. Non percievable as an omnivore so like....vegan done right. The food is brilliantly conceptualized and executed within a cozy space by a friendly skilled staff. XO ham salad slayed my face, toasts are all great....biscuits and jam totally slaps. Possibly the best dressed, inspirational salads of all time... These folks are just winners and everyone who eats there wins. I find myself checking the menu weekly when I get a day off so I don't miss any hits. Best restaurant in western mass. Tuna melt add chili crunch🤤..... Greg A. -chef@tellus&the satellite bar

Amazing food and coffee! Very unique menu that changes regularly. My husband and I got different unique coffee variations - I got the Stoned Pony and he got the Caffe Amerikano. The Amerikano was delightful! The ghee offset any bitterness from the coffee and the nutty maple syrup entranced the nuttiness from the coffee bean. The Stoned Pony was interesting but I think the carbonation enhanced the bitter taste of the espresso. The Pate sandwich was amazing and the breakfast sandwich with the chili crunch was so good! We also grabbed a cream ale - for $3 it was worth every cent!!!

my favorite food spot in the valley. everything i’ve tried there i’ve loved. you can tell a lot of care goes into their menu and the preparation/sourcing of their food. great balance of seasonal specials and classics that stay on year round. also everyone that works there is so lovely. i feel lucky to live within walking distance. thanks upper bend!

We drank our beet kvass and pickle soda while waiting for our vegan mapo sloppy joes. Amazingly not made with tofu but eggplant and carrots (marry me please). When it was all said and done I got a tahini latte.Truly a standout cafe. I couldn’t wait to bring my wife here and it only took me 5 months to make it back to turners falls. 🔥

Just had the most amazing Tahini oat milk latte...you can literally feel the creaminess from the tahini and the slight earthy sesame flavor was delightful. To top it off, the surprise of alittle sea salt on top was *chefs kiss*

Easy to find with ample parking out front which was nice. Cute bright yellow french cafe tables and chairs on the sidewalk to eat at. A Black Lives Matters sign and a diverse clientele let me know this is my kind of lunch place. I introduced myself and asked what they'd recommend I eat. A regular customer said, "Anything. And you'll want to come back and try something different every time." I ordered the bean toast, which was amazing, filling, and beautiful, believe it or not. Yeah. It was an entire meal. And had a subtle kick of spice, but I'd still call it mild. I got a Mocha Latte with a dollop of, get this, homemade toasted marshmallow fluff. Yes. And it was fantastic. While sitting outside, I got swarmed by yellow jackets, so as I was balancing my cup and food to open the door to sit inside, another customer left her laptop and came and opened the door for me. Everyone was really lovely. The menu is inspired, simple, and delicious. What more could you ask for? I'm definitely going back and ordering something totally new next time. And when I was putting my dishes in the bin as I was leaving, the lady behind the counter said, "So Mindy, how was everything?" She remembered my name. And I'll tell you, they had a line out to the door. Yeah, it's THAT kind of place.
