Cafe on the Common

The food is fire, we ordered the flatbread and it was amazing, we also got a dessert that I don't remember the name of which was phenomenal! The service was excellent and our waiter was very kind. Luv this place sooo much, definitely coming back.

THIS is gonna be our new go-to. Great couple, told us all about the choices, let me taste a wine I was unsure of, chef came out to talk about the food / dishes. Food was great (and hubby usually finds SOMETHING wrong with restaurant food - picky, picky, picky!). Salad fresh, wine selection local and with breadth - food well presented, we were not rushed at all (actually we closed the place we were talking so much). Prices reasonable, especially when think about the quality. Dessert for us was FRESH berries and a beautifully whipped cream topping - perfect taste and texture. had french press coffee at the end - was GREAT. I don't have a single complaint. You can see they are working on improving the building - a few places unfinished on the outside that are in the works. that's not a criticism - it's just sayin' because the outside looks a little unfinished doesn't mean they aren't top notch - they are working on things without hocking their souls (which most restaurateurs do and then go under with the debt). VERY happy with the whole experience!

I was passing through for work and found this hidden gem. We were greeted warmly by the staff, and were seated immediately. The food was phenomenal and the service was even better. Our waitress was incredibly friendly, and our food was brought out quickly. My only regret is that I don't live closer and can't come back as often as I'd like to!

This is a great cozy place to come have a meal with friendly service and good vibes. I hope to see the menu get bigger over time but they're always trying new things, I've tried a few different things on different occasions and everything is yummy. It's worth following them on FB to see their specials.

met a new friend there for brunch, overwhelming experience... Coffee was served with a French press it was what a coffee lover dreams of, ordered a. mixed berry muffin that didn't look like a muffin.... again I was amazed at how delicious it tasted, The service was great as well as the ambience, (my new friend didn't work out for me ). But the Cafe was certainly worth the drive from Fitchburg thanks for a wonderful experience Bob R

The food is great! The menu is a limited menu, but they do have specials and offer up many gluten free options. The service is also great. They don't interrupt your dining and are unobtrusive, which I appreciate but are incredibly friendly. The owners are really lovely people! They kept a similar charm of the previous place but made it more casual. We were there for a local wine tasting which was also cool!

The owner gave my wife a hard time about bringing her service dog inside. I haven't been to this cafe, so I can't comment on anything specifically, however people who deal with the public should be familiar with the laws, especially when they apply to people with disabilities. That's all I have. Update: Thank you for responding. I'll revise my rating to accurately reflect the other reviews.

We found a hidden gem on our way home from Northampton (better than any restaurant we've tried there!) Felt like we were in a friends home drinking delicious libations and eating great homemade food. Can't wait to go back for dinner!

The food is excellent here. Always made fresh. The kitchen is kept clean, the staff have always been friendly when I've come in, and they seem to have a desire to reach and relate to the community in a way other businesses don't. I really appreciate their attentive work, their positive attitudes, their welcoming spirit, and their music nights. Keep up the good work!
