Paperback Café is hands down one of my favorite spots! The food is always fresh and absolutely delicious. They have amazing and unique specials that are so thoughtfully put together. I love that they offer so many options for both breakfast and lunch, and the fact that there are tons of gluten-free options makes it even better for me! The kids' menu is fantastic, and both my kids love it—which is no easy feat! We all know how hard it can be to find food that kids actually enjoy, but Paperback Café has it down. The service is always on point too. The team works so well together, and they make sure we have everything we need. The restaurant itself is super cute with adorable decorations everywhere, and the bathrooms are always clean, which I really appreciate. Plus, they have outdoor seating, which is a huge bonus! I definitely recommend this spot to anyone. The baked fries with homemade ranch are out of this world, and I can't get enough of the pulled pork hash special! Also, my absolute favorite pick me up is the toasted marshmallow latte! Britt makes it amazing!! If you haven't been, you're missing out!

Service & food was very good! Didn't wait long to be seated even though Pantheon Diner was busy. Got coffee in an old timey cup & saucer instead of a mug. That was a surprise. Must have been right at 8 ounces because I usually take 3 creamers & 3 sweeteners but only two of each fit. As a coffee drinker it matters but that's ok cause refill is a coming. Um, coffee is not strong. A bit on the watered down side to me but could be just me. Price a little more than expected ($$) but New England, I'm learning, is like that. (Moved from Vegas so if you've been, you know full breakfasts or buffets can be VERY inexpensive). I ordered their 3 egg cheese omelet which included home potatoes & toast. I asked for gluten free toast which was very good. Potatoes were oh so tasty! I love spuds & broke my keto diet to eat them,...I'm bad. NOW, the omelet. Needed 1: something else other than onion, perhaps bell pepper, or seasoning? Or option thereof. and 2: the cheese, I believe was (gag) 'American' cheese OR (not so gag) less quality Monterey Jack cheese. The cheese was flavorless and looked like melted white plastic goo. It was still palatable because eggs were tasty but the cheese didn't enhance the flavor at all and probably could have been left out. Another quirk was my husband ask for sourdough bread toast instead of their regular toast. 75 cents extra for sourdough toast?? Other places either don't charge extra or that much! Seriously? Seemed odd to us especially since my hubby barely could taste it was sourdough. Almost wonder what the other toast is. Darn, I forgot to ask him if they charged that for my gluten free. But the home potatoes made it! So good even my hubby said we'd go back for the potatoes lol The servers were very nice and attentive. The food didn't take long to arrive at all. I like the old timey ambience in diners. They feel like the world use to feel like. Warm, familiar, safe with something good coming your way. Go to Pantheon, just ask about the cheese & toast options first, lol. Written by Steve's wife, Fatima Perry

We had a member of our party who is strictly gluten free. The staff was incredibly accommodating, made sure our items were gluten free. A great dining experience and will be repeat customers. Highly recommended!

Really impressed with the quality of treats and service. It would be really cool if they had a gluten-free section where they highlighted and made very clear. What’s gluten-free and what’s not and if they don’t have any, it’ll be really cool if they can make some I didn’t see any when I was in there. Lots of great stuff for people that eat gluten ended up getting a friend of mine a lot of pastries she loves the place.
