Went there with two kids and another family, I never knew this place was there, signs were not easily seen. The food was great, ordered three different sandwiches for my family. And got two loaves of multigrain and garlic bread, it was delicious. The service was good, our order got mixed up with someone else s, but no big deal, it can happen to anyone!
Adorable. Great food. Bread baked in site. Breakfast to go, lunch, outdoor seating.
This place is unique and great quality. Prices are a bit high but not unusual for the area.
Trendy place! Tricky to find. A little pricey. Nice pastries.
Mmmm ... Carrot cupcake, Lemon cupcake, Cookie cupcake, flowerless brownie - liked best
One of the best bakeries in MA ... and a great place to meet with friends or spend time reading. Access from the back is over a foot bridge crossing Nashoba Brook.
Hidden gem. Peaceful. satisfying break in your day. Search for it. You'll be glad you did. GREAT bread right from the oven. Creative sandwiches, ciches, super coffee in funky, relaxing couches. Sit out next to the babling Nashoba brook and it feels like you're in Vermont.
Food isn't anything special, but the bread making viewing platform is great! I always smell delicious bread everytime I'm walking by, as long as there isn't a loud truck beeping. Be sure to check out the back it is very nice.
Great bakery and cafe, specializes in baked breads.
Amazing bakery/cafe. Everything from the sandwiches to the baked goods to the drinks is delicious. They have plenty of options for everyone. Prices are reasonable and quality is high. If you can save room for dessert!
It gets very crowded on the weekends so expect a wait.
A wonderful and charming bakery to go on weekends
Great location, great tasting food. Very healthy options.
A hidden gem! The entrance is tucked away, but once you enter and walk back to the service counters you can feast your eyes on loads of breakfast options and coffees.
Sandwiches are delicious. Staff is friendly. Busy on weekends but food still comes quickly. Easy for sit down or take out. Cute spot in west Concord!
they serve very nice breakfast plates (i got salmon crram cheese) and signature sandwiches (chicken curry and olive, tomato in olive bread). they were delicious. they sell day old baked goods 20% off. we went there saturday around noon time and it was.packed. so id you are looking for quite, relaxing time with family or friends saturday noon is not a good time for you.
A great place to hang out in the West Concord area. Exceptional food and service!
Great little bakery in a scenic spot. A little hard to find from the road but once you do the food is great and the water out back makes it worth the trip.
it's a good place for breakfast but you have to put your own dishes away just like home
Unreal sandwiches, whatever you want they got. Fast and friendly service and the portions are great even for someone with a big apatite. Only negative is the parking but actually I like the entrance because it adds to the entire experience. Well done and congratulations on your current and future success.
Treated 4 guests at different times to breakfast or lunch there. Everyone gave it enthusiastic thumbs up!
WAY OVER PRICED EVERYTHING.
Bacon egg on whatever breakfast sandwich, $9.00
Well, nice, bakery like, with glass cases. Small tables to sit and eat.
Spent the day in Concord and found this cosy gem, tucked-away between Commonwealth avenue and the beautiful Nashoba brook out back. What was meant to be a morning of answering emails and sipping cold brew (I may have indulged on a flourless cookie that was the ultimate gooey piece of goodness) quickly turned into an afternoon and I was able to enjoy some of the lunch options as well! This is the perfect spot for every bread aficionado, everyone who thrives on healthy-ish breakfast and lunch options and who is looking for a quiet spot that looks like this...
Excellent sandwich and pleasant place to eat outside.
Delicious slow rise sourdough bread made from yeast cultivated from their own wild Concord grapes!
Don t miss trying the Pepperjack, Olive or Rosemary loaves they are delicious. Well worth the trip to West Concord for lunch. They have many interesting sandwich and egg breakfast options. Our favorites are the curry chicken salad followed by the kitchen sink and flourless chocolate cookies.
The location is almost invisible from outside, but very nice inside, even with nice outdoor seating on the brook. Excellent bread, sandwiches, pastries, coffee.
Excellent place, with kid friendly seating. Great food! Hidden oasis. Patio in back looks great for sitting outside in the summer. Walkway around back patio has neat pedestrian bridge over Fort Pond Book. Short walk from commuter rail station; fun lunch destination to take kids on the train!
While the bread they make is really good, the sandwiches they make with it are nothing special.
I've been here a few times and typically would rate this at at least 4 stars. The service today was not good. Maybe it's just me, but when a staff member stops in her tracks to tell me she is much too busy to be helpful, I have to wonder if they want any customers. I asked for a tray, to put the multiple items I had ordered on, so that I could carry them. If they weren't completely without a clue, the items would have already been on a tray. Even DD gives you a tray. Instead, I got a huffing, puffing little person telling me all about how she was much too busy to be helpful, and that the trays were "over there" (followed by a vague hand wave somewhere, who knows where). So next time, I'll go somewhere else, where the customers are important. That's not here.
Great place to relax with a coffee and a bit to eat.
loved the harvest chicken salad it was to die for, and Casey is the best cappuccino maker looked and tasted AMAZING
Friendly service, good food. Nice place to sit and enjoy a coffee
Fabulous hidden gem of West Concord. Not just a bakery either - great breakfast and lunches, and lovely patio out back.
Whenever I am in the area I make it a point to stop in for a bite. Also always grab a loaf of bread to go.
Good bread, good food and great location right next to the Nashoba brook
When you are in the mood for a yummy sandwich on house baked bread eaten outside by a flowing steam...need I say more?!
Great bakery known for their top of the line breads. Also has a cafe inside with limited seating. Absolutely top notch, if you can find a table :(
Cool little place, tricky to find behind some buildings and not very obviously signage. Sitting outside is really nice during a warm morning, can get busy fairly quickly but seems to turn over fast. Definitely a nice place to stop for breakfast or lunch in the Concord area that won't break your wallet.
Good food...overpriced, but good. Bread is great, coffee is ok.
Incredible family owned bakery, delivering freshly baked breads, home made soups and sandwiches, deliscious breakfasts, fantastic coffee and espresso drinks ; iced and hot. I will go 20 minutes out of my way, or wait for 30 minutes till they open. Plus look at their beautiful creek side back yard for sitting!
Best place in town for bread and just to hang out by the brook
Worth the search. Well hidden. Packed by locals. Terrible signage.
Lost our order. Made us wait in line twice (the first time "were working on it", yelled at us to wait in line a second time when we came back to check) before admitting they had lost it. Rude service at every turn.
Beautiful fresh baked pastries and breads, lovely sandwiches, and great coffee. The only downside is the cramped quarters.
Delightfully cozy, with delicious coffee, sandwiches that impress, and beautiful bread. Despite living a short walk away, I never would have noticed this place or have been encouraged to stop in without browsing Google maps.
Best coffee period, the bread selection changes and is very fresh every day and the sandwich selection is diverse and excellent.
Fantastic bread. Really hidden at the back of a parking lot, no signage to speak of. Sandwiches, entrees, soup, bread, pastries, coffee. Tables out back overlooking the brook. A really nice place for lunch. but don't leave without a loaf of bread. -
The worst spinch pie in the world and I have eaten alot of spinch pies. Plus there was something hard like a seed in my pie, so if you have to eat one of these pies watch out and chew extremely well because this place needs an inspector to walk in and check their kitchen and fine them
This has long been my favorites local bakery cafe. There is additional parking off Winthrop Street and across a footbridge. Excellent bread.
Great bread and very friendly staff! We'll be back often.
Tasty sandwiches and salads in to-go containers. We actually buy the sourdough at our local store! Love the breads and bakery selection (get there early)!
A lot of delicious selections...even for vegetarians.
Delicious, traditional slow-rise baked breads. Great spot for breakfast or lunch. You can pick up some beautiful desserts and pastries here, too.
Hidden gem, great coffee and sandwiches, nice view of the river as well.
Awesome food and great Ambience. Love sitting outside or by the window watching the Brook. Wish they would give me some of their sourdough starter.
Sandwich on Olive bread was great and raspberry lemonade torte was amazing - best meal I've had in quite a while with a really nice little porch with a view of a gorgeous brook. Very nice place to eat.
Local leaders in the "slow rise" bread making movement. Fresh bread daily.
Fabulous bread and baked goods
Visit often
Great sandwiches and desserts they make the best bread especial the harvest and raisin breads
Wonderful lunch place - food is great albeit a tiny bit pricy. You get what you pay for though, and maybe a bit more. Highly recommend it!
On any given week night, I see people come to order sandwiches for takeout or chilling on their many couches over a cup of coffee. Their bread is great but mostly I order their sandwiches. Staff is friendly and they make the orders quickly. You can also call the orders ahead but I don't bother because they usually make it quickly. When it's nice out, there outdoor seating and a bench looking out over the brook.
The place has small cafe, very delicious sandwiches,
I always come here when I need some comfort food, the bread is fresh and delicious and the sandwiches are great.
great food. take home a loaf of bread and be a hero at home. the harvest bread is my favorite.
Nice bakery/cafe. It is a short walk from West Concord center. It is a bit pricey but nice.
Disappointed in the portions and price for an average sandwich
