I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. I live pretty close but I rarely go to Amherst because it gets very busy when the colleges are in session. But this past weekend we had some houseguests and needed to find a restaurant that had vegan options and gluten free options. Fresh Side had something for everyone and our waitress was super friendly and brought over a treat that was both gluten free and vegan for us all to try. I had some delicious vegetable fried rice and my partner enjoyed his Pho with chicken instead of beef. I also got delicious green tea made with roasted rice. Our guests were happy with their food as well. I will definitely keep Fresh Side in mind when we are wanting some more pan Asian foods.

I’ve been coming to Share Coffee in Amherst since they open! Love the Baristas , the Espresso, the gluten free baked goods and the Matcha…. Did I say Matcha… well, here is where things got weird. I make matcha at home, and I use the traditional Chasen (the matcha wisk) to mix and foam this delicious japanese green tea. Today I see my lovely Barista putting the matcha powder into an OXO Good Grips Salad Dressing Shaker (!!!) she proceeded to vigorously shake the green liquid… the result: a clumpy mess where half of the mixture stayed stuck to the walls of the SALAD dressing container. Who’s idea was to change the way they mix my matchas? Please bring the whisks back and stop this non-sense!

The cafe has delicious sandwiches with gluten free bread available. The small shop has a limited selection of foods and goods.

I haven't been to this spot since it was Pinocchio's, so it has been a while. At Johnny's we had great food. They were very accommodating to our group's food allergies and we were pleased to see gluten-free pasta options or alternatives. We'll be back!

Heck yeah! Vegan AND gluten-free apple cider doughnuts!!!! And their mocha hot coffee is great. Chocolate and rich and perfectly sweet. And I love that they advocate for animals, like the monkeys being tortured in labs at UMass. 😭
