Pure Happiness - Edit
We already know from the gobs of other reviews that the food is bomb. The tofu is moist & perfectly marinated, the sandwich bread is warm & soft, and the smoothies are my personal fave level of sweetness (not too sweet not too bland).
Read moreThe COMMUNITY THO- every time I come here I run into someone wearing some sort of pro-peace shirt like “trans rights are human rights” or “go vegan.” The people here have such big hearts & I always leave with a full belly & a full soul. 💗
Pros: High protein options, Nutritional yeast, Supports vegan charities

We'll be back - absolutely! - Edit
We took my mother here for lunch and it far exceeded our expectations. We ordered 3 sandwiches: Wild Chickpea, Grilled Tofu, and the Bacon Cheeseburger. All 3 were absolutely delicious! After sampling our veggie chilli (yum!!) we packed it up to take home because the sandwiches were very filling. We took home a mint cupcake, an espresso cupcake and a molasses cookie. Two thumbs up for desserts with tons of flavor and just enough sweetness. We are truly looking forward to going back to try other menu items.

So good! And vegan breakfast! - Edit
We came to Wild Chestnut for breakfast this morning, on the neverending hunt for vegan safe breakfasts. It was indeed impressive -- and all vegan! I had the bacon, egg and avo English muffin Sammie, and it was splendid. The mildly spicy sauce on it was a great touch that really elevated the sammie. I will definitely be back.

Wish I could go everyday! - Edit
Wild Chestnut Cafe is lovely and delicious! My family visited on our weekend trip to Northampton- a little hard for us to find as the entrance is in a parking lot and there is no signage from the street. We ordered coffees, smoothies, sandwiches, salads, soups, and pastries. Everything was great! The housemade bread for sandwiches is worth a visit alone- thick slices of pillowy soft pumpkin sweet oat bread! Cinnamon rolls, muffins, cookies, and peanut butter bombs were all amazing. Lots of space to sit and enjoy your meal, perhaps accompanied by some piano playing if you're as lucky as we were!

Simply amazing in every way! - Edit
The food is incredible. Their sandwiches are served on delicious fresh homemade bread in big generous slices loaded with veggie goodness. We had the avocado sandwich and the chickpea sandwich and were blown away how good the food was. The sandwiches are nice and big and loaded with fresh healthy ingredients. For dessert we had the homemade cupcakes - strawberry frosting on chocolate or yellow cake at the staff recommendation and we were not disappointed. So freaking good, just eat here and you’ll be happy! Lots of great bottles beverage selections too like kombucha or healthier soda choices.

Must go!!! - Edit
We are so happy that these folks reopened the old Cafe Evolution. Nice and clean updates to the interior. Menu is simple but hughley satisfying. And how lovely that they spotlight a group dedicated to providing support to animals and 3donate proceeds to that group. We purchased a carrot cake cupcake with part of the proceeds going to Western Massachusetts Rabbit Rescue. ❤❤❤
