Wild Chestnut Cafe - Northampton

Wild chestnut cafe is beautiful and delicious! my family visited on our weekend trip to northampton - a little hard to find for us as the entrance is on a parking lot and there is no signage from the road. we ordered coffee, smoothies, sandwiches, salads, suppen and baked. everything was great! the homemade brot for sandwiches is a visit worth alone- thick slices of cuddly soft pumpkin sweet heel bread! cinnamon rolls, muffins, biscuits and drip butter bombs were all amazing. a lot of space to sit and enjoy their meal, maybe accompanied by something piano playing when they were as happy as we were!

The menu is very small, but the specificities are good. I love the piano for live music in the room.

Best muffins anywhere--vegan or otherwise. Fresh salads and sandwiches on house-baked bread. Tasty soups come with a slab of the bread. Try the TLT (tempeh lettuce tomato) sandwich. Love this place.

New vibes in this space is very welcome! Small menu but enough to satisfy a sweet tooth and a breakfast out with the vegan fam.

Vegan activist owners Missy and Rosalie have rebooted what used to be the vegan Cafe Evolution, bringing a new menu and much needed new energy to the space. The bakery case looks similar, with cupcakes, cookies and muffins, but I am told it is all new recipes. They are slowly introducing savory items, today I enjoyed an eggplant parm sandwich that was perfect. Coffee is still amazing and there are about 7 vegan milks and creamers to choose from, plus espresso drinks.
