Beautiful space. Lots of people working. Asked about WiFi, was told curtly that they don’t have it, and when I asked if there was some other option, given all the laptops out, the barista again said no, this time with apparent contempt. A fellow customer sitting nearby informed me there is town WiFi, otherwise everyone uses their hotspot. That’s all I wanted to know. Rude service.

One of my favorites of all time. Their croissants and cookies are to die for and their baristas make really great drinks. I don’t drink but I hear the bar is wonderful as well at night. I used to come in late at night in college and order a pot of tea and study or read. It’s been a couple years since I’ve been back and I love the newly renovated space but also miss the old space and it’s cozy vibe.

I got a cortado and my partner got a matcha cold brew -- both were really good! Coffee was nice and milk was just perfectly warm but not too hot.

We enjoy Amherst Coffee during the day, but trying to find a Sat night after-movie spot with friends is IMPOSSIBLE. Often all the 4-person tables are taken by a solo person on a computer. At peak times, please request (or a sign requesting) solo computer users sit at the large shared table to free up table space for small groups. You'll gain business from Amherst Cinema patrons and it will be more equitable for ALL!

Couldn't get anyone to serve me and there was no one in the place....sitting at the bar and over and over workers were walking by as I'm trying to make eye contact. Ended up leaving without being served!

Amherst Coffee is by far the best bar in Amherst. The cocktails are creative and well-thought out, the vibe is immaculate (incandescent/candlelit with lots of wood), and the service is personable and open.They could stand on their own in Boston, but in Amherst they stand out and are still 10-20% cheaper than they would be two hours East.Also, the coffee is excellent.

Visited while travelling. Moleskines and neutral-colored wool sweaters seemed to be requisite for the clientele, but luckily I had both. One of the best oat milk chai lattes I've ever had. Great moody academia atmosphere.
So rude! For a business based on service, they should reevaluate their choice of employees. Friendly and helpful goes a long way

I am picky when it comes to my coffee. I ordered a maple latte and it was by far, one of the best I have had in my life. The temperature was absolutely perfect, which isn't easy to do. I had the smoothest drink that was slightly sweet but did not over power the nutty espresso. If I didn't like across the country, I would be back everyday. Awesome coffee here, don't miss out!

Always stop here whenever I’m in western mass. Great coffee and a really nice atmosphere for getting some work done. They used to have really good food but don’t seem to have a working kitchen anymore (hope that changes because the food was great).

Terribly arrogant and pompous staff. Turned my girlfriend and I away on my 21st birthday when we both had valid forms of identification. Will not return to this establishment.
