“Stopped in Saturday morning for coffee and a treat. There was a lot going on and only a few places to sit but most people were getting things to go so it wasn't hard to snag a table. The seating area is cute but does get a little crowded when it's busy. I ordered a hot coffee and a lemon square. Both were delicious! The lemon square was the perfect balance of sweet and tart. Will definitely be back but will probably get things to go next time!“
“We had mochas, cafe chai lattes, croissants, sandwiches in this quaint historic building. Great ambiance, friendly baristas, and even enjoyed a lively chat with a local. He helped my HS Sr. Think critically about his college bound choices. No decision was made, but maybe one step along the way. Thank you to the stranger for helping!“
“TL;DR on this review: Sally Ann makes the best BLT you'll ever have. You know the nostalgia we all have for a marinara your nana made, or a breakfast joint you went to as a kid, where they put hamburger helper in the hash browns and the waitstaff all knew each other & your family? Or a memory of visiting Chicago and having deep dish pizza for the first time - you probably remember exactly where you were when you lost your mind over how good it was. If there's only a dozen things in my portfolio of food nostalgia, the Sally Ann BLT is one of them. I hadn't been in the store in about 15 years - I grew up in the area, and only recently came back to visit. It's like walking into a place frozen in time - the proprietor Bill looks like he's aging in reverse, there's a polite, sharp kid working the counter, and a woman slicing bread who seems to know everyone who walks in. The BLT is just as good as it was 1.5 decades ago. It's so simple, but so perfect. The thing about simple food is this - if there's only 3-4 components, ya kinda gotta nail each one. Enter Sally Ann's BLT: -Bread: their default is a cracked wheat, so it pays homage to the traditional white bread purists associate with BLTs, without being, well, white bread. The crust is perfect; the bread of soft and peppery and still has heft to it. Their bread alone is worth a visit. -Lettuce: the treatment of lettuce in sandwiches is so underrated! They slice up their romaine (THANK YOU!!) - no one wants those full leaves of lettuce in a sandwich that slip out after one bite, leaving no crunch or green behind. -Mayo: not too little, not too much, and on both sides of the bread. Perfection. -Tomato: idk how Bill does this... but the tomatoes seem to always be juicy beefsteaks. Bite into this sandwich and you're bound to have some tomato juice running out. I'm not a big tomato person, unless they're quite good; a bad tomato will absolutely ruin a BLT. They're also sliced just right, so that the tomato doesn't overpower the sandwich - it's a supporting actor, after all. -Bacon: ok this is the real star of the show, and they nail it. It's crispy (who wants flappy bacon?!) without being brittle. There's just the right amount of it that you feel like you're definitely not getting gypped with too little, or overwhelmed trying to bite down on three inches of sandwich. -Bonus: add avocado - simply put, worth it every time, but not necessary considering how solid this sandwich is w/out it. Their lemon squares are also incredible (again, nothing has changed). It's a little pricy (you're in Concord, supporting a local business... expect nothing less), but it's such a luxurious indulgence. Simple things done this well are worth it, and theirs is a business worth supporting.“
“Very nice place to eat! Me and my family have ordered from there a bunch and only once or twice have they gotten our order wrong (and even then the order was very similar and still good). The staff is friendly and the donuts are fresh! A good place to eat for sure.“
“The people who work here are the best !! They are professional, courteous and always do an excellent job. The culture behind the counter also seems like one of any successful business, and a testament to everyone who works there. Great job !!“
“Reasons to be Cheerful is a great ice cream shop in the heart of West Concord village. The staff is always polite and the service is great. They have a traveling ice cream truck called, The Chill Wagon, that you can hire for events and parties. Definitely recommend giving it a try!“
“Had this marked on the map for a while and finally made it in during the Holidays. Loved it. Great coffee and pastries. Very busy every visit I made, and I made many. A bit frustrating at times but nothing to leave a lesser rating for. It just means we all share the same sentiment ?. If it’s too busy, grab a cup of coffee and walk the town! I bought some beans for home and I’ll be back for sure when I’m in town. Thank you!“
