This isn't your usual bakery ladies and gentlemen. This is mom and pop shop comforting and caring service combined with what feels like world class ingredients and taste profiles. It's as if a Michelin star restaurant and your grandma collaborated to open a place. This is bread bliss, a sandwich sanctuary. Tom Brady mentioned this place in a 2013 pre season interview and I've been coming here ever since!
Amazing food, amazing people! To anyone visiting the New England area, highly recommend you hit this before you leave- and if you're based there and have never been, what're you doing??
I've come here a few times and everything I've gotten has been delicious! The ambiance is very cozy cafe-vibes with both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is especially lovely because you sit right by the brook. The service is usually good, although last time I was there the woman ringing me up was pretty miserable. Just having a bad day I assume. Most recently I came for a mid-morning treat. I got their dark roast coffee and a croissant. The coffee is always good (I believe the brand they use is Karma Coffee) and the croissant was buttery, flaky perfection. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!
Got the #1 meal to go, cost about $12. It was good, although I would've liked it in a sandwich form rather than open faced. Overall decent place once you get inside. It was pretty quiet, we went on a Friday morning. Have always loved their bread!
Great spot. Delicious baked good. Excellent location. Perfect spot to refuel on a ride along the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail.
I enjoy coming to Nashoba. I like the baked goods, sandwiches. I do find the mochas very bitter and always feel I have to ask for more syrups to balance the flavor since it doesn't taste quite right when I order them. I kinda wish Nashoba would find an alternate mocha/chocolate sauce for mochas. The service is great and I do enjoy the ambiance and vibe of Nashoba.
To update my earlier review, I've enjoyed returning to this staple of my hometown every time I visit, which has become at least once per month. It's not really visible from the street, the entrance on the other side of the building next to a gas station, but it's on the Concord river and has a nice outdoor eating area down the walkway with greenery next to a bridge, which I believe is on the main bike path, so great place to stop. They're known for their wide selection of breads and great sandwiches, one of my favs being the "Factory 152": garlic bread, chicken, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and chipotle mayo. You can also customize a sandwich if you want which I really like. They've overhauled their menu a bit recently and I'm getting the sense they like to refresh their smorgasbord (I wanted an excuse to use that word haha) and shake things up. While most of the numerous latte flavors they had have been removed, they still have a couple mochas, caramel, and two new house made vanilla flavors! One from Madagascar and the other paired with lavender. This is an exciting development and the Madagascar one I just had tasted fantastic. If you see the bear claw pastry I highly recommend that. I think they're cycling different items through, with these delicious cinnamon vanilla pastries/breads the last few times I've visited. There was a little mixup over the holidays with a soup, and most recently I had the privilege of meeting the owner and received a replacement soup which was very nice and says a lot about what kind of place it is. All their food and beverage items I've had have been wonderful, and there are unique ones that I haven't seen anywhere else. Nashoba has a great reputation in West Concord and it's a place you should for sure visit if you are in the area.
Wow! We just found out about this phenomenal bakery that evidently many Yelp friends have already discovered and reviewed. We were on a mission to find a really good real slow rise sourdough bread. Surprisingly, our mission was accomplished. This bread which is baked fresh daily slowly rises by wild yeast from foraged Concord grapes. The company was established in 1998 and the dough is allowed to rise slowly for more than 24 hours. This exquisite bread is excellent, nutritious, handcrafted, and easy to digest. They use filtered water, wild yeast, organic whole wheat flour, and cornmeal to make this stone hearth recipe. This bread is free from any additives or preservatives and definitely a new favorite!
This place got me through a hard time of my life. I would come here to escape and build my own sandwich and grab the "Secret Garden" latte. The service is very good, my favorite person is Grace, who was kind enough to remember my abstract order. It's located next to a brook which is nice to sit by in warmer weather and eat outside to get a bit of vitamin D.
