This is a very "New England" spot! It was quaint and charming. It's not big but the food was innovative and delicious. The service was quick and it was easy to order. I would definitely go back

I am in Northampton to study science for two weeks at a summer program. I chose to spend my Sunday morning here and I don't regret it. If anything, I wish I had spent more time there. The coffee was refreshing and invigorating, and the sandwich was very nice. The people cooking and serving the food know exactly what they are doing (an awesome job!). Service, presentation, and atmosphere were all well above average for a coffee place.

The ginger molasses cookies have a chokehold on me. When I moved to Vermont my brother would bring them up. And this time while I was in town I ordered two. That's all I ever want or need from here. You really can't go wrong with any of the bakery items. Their key lime pie is amazing. Their fig or raspberry bars are lovely. And I loved getting a coffee that you can jazz up at the coffee station. Thanks for always being awesome! From the staff to the vibe you never disappoint.

Love this cafe! We travel from out of state a a few times a year and this is always a stop whenever we are in North Hampton. Great lunch and coffee shop. But this is where the Wow is- in their baked goods. Whether it's the bread pudding, lemon bar or my all-time favorite ginger molasses cookies. These are crispy on the edge and chewy in the center with just the right amount of molasses and a generous amount of ginger. But this trip, we decided to try an eclair and when I tell you, this was one of the best that I've ever had, I am not exaggerating. It was not dry at all. The chocolate on top was real, and not some cheap frosting. The cream inside was the most delicate vanilla decadence. And I must add they are not stingy with that filling either. As always, they offer exceptional service and beautiful ambience. We love it in the warmer weather when we can sit outside, but there's also cozy nooks inside as well. Bravo Woodstar!!! Please don't change that recipe for either the eclair or those amazing ginger molasses cookies.

Lively & bustling cafe with a quiet room for computer work. Lots of people made this bakery feel like the place to be. Delicious smoked tofu veggie sandwich .. .. which made me feel better about eating a cannoli as well. Lol The cannoli she'll was crisp and drag with a creamy filling that although wasn't traditional but hit the mark with its ricotta texture with a pleasant mild flavor. As an Italian American, I'm always looking for the bits of candied orange & sometimes small chocolate chips in the ricotta and pistachios for the ends. I would imagine that may cause issues for allergies. The service was friendly, helpful and insightful with regard to my needs as a patron. The owner was an out-going woman who exuded pride and passion for her work in serving the community. Northampton is lucky to have a cafe committed to providing fresh & tasty food.

We've been here about three times and the sandwiches are pretty good. The roast beef, chicken pesto and turkey were all good. Nice place to hang out, eat and drink coffee.

Had one sip of a cafe mocha and that was all it took. It was not overly sweet but oh it was chocolaty. It wasn't Mr.Tough Guy oh yeah 100% cacao no sugar bitter as hell I love my coffee black type chocolaty. Instead it was more like oh wow it's like they said screw it and added Swiss Miss to my coffee and I'm going to pretend I don't absolutely love Swiss Miss but this is a real coffee shop so I know it's not type chocolaty. I am also surprised chocolaty is a real word. Anyways, I always get cafe mochas when I get coffee so I'll admit I get around with this drink. I will also admit that this is the best one I've had for my personal likings. Not too bitter, not too sweet, but I can damn well stoll taste the chocolate. Sometimes I get one and the only mocha thing about it is the powder that doesn't mix well at the bottom. This was far from that. The whipped cream at the top just spoiled me too. I mean I would drive 40 minutes for this every Sunday. Overall this place was pretty cool. Really busy when I went on a Sunday afternoon. Lots of outdoor seating and plenty of options. Service was also fast and friendly. I felt like I was at a busy Starbucks because they were working pretty hard back there. Anyways, I certainly loved their cafe mocha. It was the perfect amount of chocolaty for me.
