Haymarket Cafe - Northampton

I have very mixed feelings about Haymarket. It's a nice, quaint little cafe with a lot of personality. Feels very Noho. One of my favorite places in the area and one of my least favorite. Sometimes, I've gone here and everything is perfect. Like when it's good, it's really good. Their food can be some of the best in the area. Other times, i've gone in to staff who don't seem to know anything about the cafe, waiting for food for way to long, hearing a fire alarm and getting burnt mac and cheese. downstairs dining area is kind of a mess. Stay upstairs, better vibe unless you want something quieter. Give the place a try, your results may vary. Give it a few tries honestly, it's just really inconsistent. They do gluten free pasta, call ahead to see if they have it and save yourself some time. Although I have called ahead, been told they do and when i get in, they're out of it. Have requested food be prepared for someone's gluten allergy and the kitchen still contaminated the food with gluten and person I had ordered for got sick.

I have not been there, but looking at the menu on their website, I would hardly call them vegan. Just a few dishes at most. C'mon folks, let's amp up the vegan imagination!

Site says open at 8, Google says open at 9. Waited outside until 9:05 this morning, but lights are off and the door is locked. Numerous others also trying the door and looking in the windows. Pretty disappointing because we’re only in town for 1 day and were really looking forward to breakfast here.

My FAVORITE Cafe in Northampton. I the Haymarket. I hope it's not closing down permanently.
