Barriques - Fitchburg

The staff is always friendly and the environment is clean, warm, and welcoming. Their coffee and food is so good! The scones are especially wonderful! 🤩👍

Barriques is a coffee shop, cafe and wine store rolled up into one convenient location. The coffee served here is strong with the force, it takes a little milk to mellow it out. I LOVE the toffee cookies which have that perfect mix of crunchy exterior and chewy interior. I'm less a fan of the sandwiches. My Cuban sandwich, served on a bland ciabatta roll, was not pressed, so it missed the delightful exterior crunch found on a traditional Cuban sammie. The unevenly applied a very potent yellow mustard and pork components just didn't wow me. Barrique's offers a reward program through Belly, which is appreciated,.

Good coffee, but the app is terrible. Never updates on when it's ready so you may wait 30-60min before knowing that it's been just sitting on the pickup area.

Just passing through Fitchburg; wish I would have found Barrique's on day 1. Good stuff, great employee recommendations.

Cozy and understated, great food and good coffee. They have lots of selections of wine and beer for you enthusiasts. Great place to study or sit with a friend.

Best damn cafe latte I've ever had. Nothing really stood out to me for breakfast so I went with the chorizo wrap, which is tasty but definitely not Mexican food (it has Tapatío or Cholula for the hot sauce XD).

Great latte and food, the counter is a little cluttered, I didn't know where to pick up my latte or food when they called out my name. It would have been cool if they were slightly more attentive in helping me out when I walked up.

Great coffee and food, great prices, cozy atmosphere.

Darn it, I used to really like spending time here and bringing visitors over, but Barriques seems to have changed in the last year. I'd love to see someone clean the place up. Here's what I've come to expect: dry, flavorless scones if they have any (these used to be crispy/moist & delicious), rubbery overcooked eggs and slimy avocado paste in all the breakfast wraps (not fresh avocados), wobbly tables, your clothes and hair will stink VERY strongly of bacon if you come in after about 2pm, and you'll be doing battle with flies, flies and more flies. No hot water in the bathrooms, and super cheap soap that doesn't seem to do much. They close at different times on different days, so if you come here to work/study after about 7pm the barista might happily sell you a "for here" drink and then shortly start yelling at the top of her lungs that it's time to leave - EVERY FIVE MINUTES until close. They've had cracked front windows for a month now, too. I keep hoping this place will be revitalized at some point, for the sake of the people who work here and for the customers, because we don't have a ton of better options in this part of town.

I stop by fairly regularly at this Fitchburg location. Coffee is always good, atmosphere is always warm and inviting. But more important, the staff here is amazing!! Love this place!
