The Dam Cafe - Holyoke

This family owned coffee shop is by far the best around. If you want real coffee and breakfast or lunch, please visit them. Great customer service and a very clean place. Love this place!! ? ?

I know, I know, Local small business and I want to LOVE this place... and while the service is great, atmosphere is relaxing, the food just isn't that great. I've had breakfast here 3x and while the prices are super affordable, it's just OK. The muffins are way too sweet and cakey, the home fries are overcooked and dry, the bacon is very well done (which is how I like it but if you don't- ask for it done less... weirdo lol), coffee is good, Italian sodas are good. I'd be curious to try dinner here but they close at 3pm weekdays and 2pm weekends. Do they do dinner for breakfast? I can only hope! Parking: Very small parking lot, Street has limited parking as well. But definitely not the worst I've seen.

The service, food, and drinks are always fantastic. I love their rotating seasonal lattes and today's yummy choice was Emerald Isle, Irish Cream and Coconut.

No table service, no menus, got wrong order. Server took out ketchup without asking and have it to another table! Homefries were big enough to cut with a knife and dry. I want them bite size. Not going back even tho I can walk there.

Stopped in for the first time this morning, the place has a nice vibe, food was ok. We ordered pancakes and received the wrong order, they fixed it pretty quickly. They seemed short staffed or it felt like that anyways. Oddly enough we went there because Denny's was very short staffed and the place was empty and we had to wait 30 minutes. So we were hoping that the Dam Cafe was going to be our new go to, but unlikely.
