Woodstar Cafe

Woodstar Cafe, nestled in the bustling heart of town, stands as a beacon for food lovers seeking a diverse and delectable menu. This charming cafe offers an array of options that cater to a wide range of dietary preferences, ensuring everyone finds something to relish. From freshly baked pastries that melt in your mouth to hearty, savory dishes that satisfy the soul, each item is prepared with care and bursting with flavor. The quality of the food is consistently high, a testament to the cafe's dedication to culinary excellence.

However, its popularity is both a blessing and a curse. The mornings at Woodstar Cafe are often crowded, with the hustle and bustle of patrons eager to start their day with a delicious meal. While the vibrant atmosphere can be invigorating, it also means that finding a seat can be a challenge, and the wait times for service can extend longer than anticipated. This bustling environment, though a sign of the cafe's success and appeal, might not suit those in search of a quiet, leisurely breakfast experience.

Despite the crowds, the allure of Woodstar Cafe's exceptional food and the variety it offers make braving the busy mornings worthwhile for many. It's a testament to the cafe's allure that patrons continue to return, drawn by the promise of a delicious meal that can set the tone for the rest of their day. For those who can embrace the lively atmosphere or who choose to visit during the quieter hours, Woodstar Cafe remains a culinary gem worth exploring.

Great small cafe. They have amazing bread and baked goods. One of the best in Northampton and they have been there a long time and are always busy so you know it's good. They have a large variety of drinks and baked goods. Highly recommend trying the cafe out they have something for everyone. Just be aware it is popular and does get busy but your never waiting too long for your drink.

my all-time favorite coffee shop! they have the best atmosphere, high quality food and drinks at fairly reasonable prices! So many baked goods, including fresh breads and lots of GF and vegan options. They have a variety drinks (coffee drinks, apple cider, iced and hot tea, steamers, hot cocoa, kombucha, smoothies, etc.) so even if you don't like coffee you'll find something, and they have breakfast and lunch sandwiches that are SO GOOD. it's a cozy place that always feels warm and inviting, 10/10, my go-to spot!

I recommend...
drinks: hot chocolate, iced half-and-half, hot or iced cider
treats: banana chocolate chip muffin, challah, bagels, pumpkin pie, eclairs, chocolate chip cookies
food: egg & cheese and "east meets Woodstar" bagel sandwiches

Today was my first time visiting the cafe and I will absolutely be back! Hot chocolate was one of the best I’ve ever had and breakfast sandwich was great! Bread was fresh and the environment was comforting. Staff was friendly and kind. Great experience, looking forward to coming back!

Cool, sunlit space and good baked goods. Been here for a long time. Original owner worked at the OG Rao's back in the day and they've long shared a baker/roaster with Esselon so there's a local coffee lineage that I appreciate

Happened to come across this wonderful little sandwich shop / Cafe while walking around the city with a friend. Went here for brunch and very please at the wide selection of offerings from breakfast sandwiches to pastries to a mix of great lunch sandwiches, drinks, and coffees.

Best bread in town— and I mean that!! Super flavorful and hearty. All of the bakery items I’ve tried have been delicious. Woodstar is very conscientious about both vegan and gluten-free diets— all items are labeled accordingly. Would love to come back and try all their other delicious-looking offerings. Btw the employees were all super charismatic and charming to chat with. I will be returning soon and getting all my bread from here now on !!!

Woodstar is wonderful. I’ve been going here for a few years now, and quite regularly for the last year. They have the best croissants in Northampton (and I say this as someone who has tried all of them), and everyone there is so so nice.
The atmosphere here is lovely. It’s usually busy enough that working is a little challenging, but there’s a smaller back room where I have accomplished many a homework assignment. Outlets aren’t abundant.
My literal only complaint is that getting there at 9:30 instead of 8:30 is often the difference between them having croissants and not. Maybe they make more later in the day, but I have had to make due with other (also delicious, mind you) baked goods more often than I would prefer.

This place is amazing. The Nantucket Sandwich is very good, it's turkey, cranberry sauce in a sandwich. There Gluten free bread is so good, and it's only $1.22. If you are looking for a gluten free sandwich and bakery items look no further. They have numerous GF items and GF/DF items in the fresh bakery.

The people working are really nice. Not sure why there’s always a pickle

Coffee was hot and the muffin was tasty. Service was fast and friendly. A nice place for a quick and quiet bite.

This is one of my favorite bakeries, ever. They have gluten free and vegan options, Paleo options, bagels and sandwiches, and fresh baked bread. And everything is downright delicious, I have yet to try something there I don't like. It used to be a 13-hour drive away, now it's just an hour drive -- still to far for regular visits, so whenever we go I make sure to stock up. The raspberry chocolate cupcakes (gluten free and vegan) are by far my favorite thing here 💜

I really loved my time at the Woodstar Cafe this morning. The staff are really pleasant and friendly. The restaurant is very clean, cool, and calm. There is sufficient seating for guests. The decor is casual and cozy with really pretty tabletops made of tile.
The food and beverages are very fresh and tasty, too.

The food is top quality as always. My order was taken quickly and the food was prepared expeditiously. Finding a seat today was no problem which was a welcome surprise, as tables tend to all be taken with attending parties there for the long haul. I will continue to patron the Woodstar Cafe when the opportunity arises.

I imagine their offerings other than the grilled cheese are also excellent, but I love the grilled cheese so much I can't bring myself to order anything else. I would say it's the best grilled cheese I've had from a restaurant. The outdoor space is lovely on a sunny day (though be warned that summer brings yellow jackets; not sure there's anything they could or should do about that, but just mentally prepare yourself before you sit).

We love this place and use it as a lunch stop on the way north or south on I-91. Worth the trip off the highway. Pretty good gluten free bread as a sandwich option. Great sandwiches, coffees, and teas.

Great cappuccino! Great bread! Can be very busy at times. It’s my stop between Ct. and Vt.

Great coffee place off the main street. Had the raspberry bran muffin and it was very good! The coffee was tasty and I would definitely go back again.

We live very near here, and have come very regularly since I was a young child. Every thing I’ve tried here is delicious!!! Their drinks are my favorite. I recommend their cafe vanillas, London fogs, and green smoothie, but I’ve never been disappointed with anything! The vibe is super relaxed and comfortable. Recommend to everyone!!

Their sandwiches are excellent, treats delicious and their drinks and teas and just so good. Always consistent and the staff are so nice. Love coming here for a treat and sandwich. They also serve half sandwiches which is helpful and have nice veggie options!
