So you may wonder "really, ONE STAR? Sadly, YES and here's why. Visiting Keene, first time here. I ordered a chicken salad sandwich on toasted bread with avocado. Simple enough - right? Apparently not. I opened the sandwich which had somehow become SOGGY in it's brief sandwich life, to find HARDLY ANY chicken salad - hardly anything on the bread, and the greens were wilted, a REAL hot mess! I asked one of the staff to look at the sandwich - "OH - the chicken salad is only on one side - we'll make you another! I can understand the staff trying to minimize the poor quality and preparation. So this time I asked for plain un-toasted bread, because my party and I were running out of time. The sandwich came again, and while there was admittedly a LITTLE more salad, the chicken was not white meat, and there was an off-putting undertaste as well - so off putting - it was JUST NOT VERY GOOD. I am surprised by the positive reviews, but maybe I just dined here at the wrong date and the wrong time. I always believe the manager working the floor bears responsibility operationally, and I observed her abrupt response to the reported problem. I will NEVER go back and there again because there are SO MANY more appropriate choices for dining.

Great pitstop for breakfast! The BLT is to die for. Also had the western grilled burito and smoked salmon on Jalapeno bagel which were delicious!

The coffees are great and the bagels are delicious. However, they don't put much cream cheese on the bagels. Literally there was enough for MAYBE 1/4 of my bagel, not exaggerating. What little cream cheese there was was very delicious. Flavors are all great just would like enough cream cheese to spread on the WHOLE bagel. But the Bacon Scallion Cream Cheese I delicious and I do recommend it.

Very nice cafe with multiple vegan and vegetarian options. Fair prices, comfortable environment providing an atmosphere conducive for dialog or just enjoying a good book. The staff was friendly and very accommodating.
