The Roost

Visiting from out of state for a fall vacation trip. After renting bikes from All Out Adventures, my wife and I worked up an appetite. We were suggested to try out The Roost. We were told there was a ramp and automatic doors which made the space accessible. We didn’t initially know where the accessible entrance was so I ended up having to step up with my rollator. It was very loud, and busy in there. Everyone from the folks working to the people waiting in line, everyone was so kind and cool. The atmosphere had a nice vibe. The only problem is it was very loud and sensory overwhelming. We had to go to the car to eat which wasn’t a problem. The food is outstanding. I got a mocha maple iced latte which was incredible. My wife got an iced coffee with vanilla. I got the gluten free waffle with fruit, and this butter squash with walnuts and cranberries side being offered. My wife ordered this breakfast sandwich which was her stepping outside her comfort zone. She ordered the Williston, she said it was absolutely delicious and makes her want to step more outside of her food comfort zone due to the amazing experience she had. We would highly recommend this place to anyone if we had the chance. Recommendations: If there isn’t a sign by the non-accessible entrance, would highly recommend adding one so folks know to go to the other door.

The Market chicken sandwich was served on a baguette-ish bread that was soft with a bit of crunch on the ends. The spicy rooster sauce added a little heat and flavor! The picked onions did not seem pickled at all; they were diced and a little on the firm side. The Yenta sandwich had a great crunch (see pics) perfectly toasted sourdough bread. The veggies and cheese all thinly sliced. The desserts all look spectacularly scrumptious!!!! OMGOODNESS. I couldn’t decide and got 2!! The fruit tart (with an unseen thin layer of chocolate) - I ate most of it while waiting for the sandwich. Absolutely delightful! I only knew it had chocolate bc I almost only got the banana crème tart because it has a visible layer of chocolate under the banana slices. Life’s short I got both.

I work in Northampton & have been a customer. Visited today and ordered a large coffee. Not a member and didn't "sign in". Gave the waitress a tip. When I read the screen it said: "Old Dude - large black coffee!" I told the waitress that I did not appreciate the description and was sorry that I had left a tip! I thought Northampton was a bit more "respectful". I will not be back!
