The Dam Cafe - Holyoke

Always a great place for locals wanting a yummy breakfast or lunch.

I really want to give this place 5 stars but I just can’t. The atmosphere and the coffee are great, but the food is just a miss. I have tried it on 5 different occasions with breakfast and lunch foods. I am not a picky eater by any means. The pancakes weren’t cooked through twice, eggs under seasoned, home fries were hard, a salad was severely underdressed and was mostly lettuce. I will only come here for coffee from now on.

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!! ? ?

The food and service is great. I went with my family and had a great time and the prices are very reasonable by the whey don't forget to try out the pastries.

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.
