Today, I ordered 2 new yorkers on everything bagels, 1 carnivore, chesecake, a cupcake, coffee and tea. The coffee was so good.... The bagels were as hard as baseballs.???? Read more
Excellent BLT, great bread, great bacon, could have used more tomato
Very friendly and pretty fast. Sandwiches look great and so do the fruit tarts !
The Black Sheep is one of Amherst's iconic brunch places and sandwich shops. Unfortunately, the quality of the food has gone... down significantly in the past couple years. It used to be one of my favorite places to go. I've continued to go back just tosee if it has changed about once a month or so, but so far it has been unfulfilling. Some of the drinks, and most of thepastries are great! I really do enjoy those. However, the rest of the fare is very disappointing compared to the previousquality that I had been used to. Particularly at the prices they charge, it's simply never worth it to me. The routine use ofmicrowaves in the kitchen is surprising and incredibly strange, and it shows in the quality of the food. It seems like there ismassive staff turnover, even for a restaurant in a college town. I really don't want to blame the staff for these changes, it'sclear that this goes far beyond them and up to the owner and upper management. Read more
Orders take forever, the cafe is always crowded and there is a reason why. Everyone loves The Black Sheep and rightfully so. The... sandwichs are made with quality ingredients, their coffee is superior and the flavor combos just always work. There are a lot ofvegetarian options and even some vegan ones. If you can only visit one breakfast place in Amherst this is the one. Read more
Lots of tasty sandwiches and salads, good breakfast sandwiches and coffee. They have Udi's gluten free bread for sandwiches and... a dedicated work space to minimize contamination. Read more
Went here for the first time today, it?s a cute place with wifi and lots of sandwiches, pastries, coffee, etc. I ?made my own?... Roast beef sandwich for $7.25 which was a little pricey but they did not skimp on the roast beef. For $7.25 it should?ve comewith a side or something. But the sandwich was honestly so good and I would 10/10 recommend. Read more
I gave it a second shot considerin the first experience was terrible, but it was also very busy... so i came on a lighter day...... I still waited 20 minutes (an improvement from the 45min of the first time) and for $12 i got an almost empty bagette with veryfew slices of cheap mozzarella with few drops of pesto Read more
