We placed a catering order for a pre-graduation ceremony dinner and everything was fabulous. Kim was so accommodating on our pickup time and also helped me select items that would be gluten free for one of our guests. The pulled pork, three berry salad, and Mac and cheese (the only non-GF item in the order) were absolutely delicious. Our out of town family was so impressed! Also the reheating instructions were very clear and easy to follow. I will definitely be coming back for future catering needs!
I’ve always been curious about this place but never took the opportunity to stop by, until today, when I happened to be waiting for my car to be fixed nearby. I’m so glad I did! I came in early, just as they were opening up and a few folks were trickling in. It was peaceful and cozy at first, it got busier in that small town, friendly kind of way, where people know each other, say hello, and catch up over coffee.
This café is absolutely beautiful, with vibey intentional seating areas in every corner. Whether you’re meeting with a group, going on a date, or just enjoying some alone time, there’s a perfect spot waiting for you.
While I was there, I learned about their wonderful mission: supporting individuals with disabilities by providing inclusive employment opportunities. Many of the team members here are talented, kind individuals from the special needs community, and it was genuinely inspiring to see that in action.
I noticed they were in need of updated photos of the space so I took a couple seconds to take some, I’m not sure my pictures do it justice, but I hope they give a glimpse of how welcoming and beautiful this place truly is. You really have to visit and experience it for yourself.
I did also have a delicious biscuit breakfast sandwich and a hot chocolate, and got to enjoy a rare little hour of peace in a space that felt warm, intentional, and felt like I truly belonged.

A business I will come back to again and again. The owner and staff went above and beyond to accomodate a last minute dinner order, stayed late for pick-up and made sure it was packaged with the same care they put into making it. It's rare these days to find a small business owner who stretches beyond their exhaustion, into their personal time, and outside their business norms to delight a costumer the way Kim and her team did. Kudos to a phenomenal business owner.

This review is based on the catered food New England Pasta Company provided for a convention at a nearby brewery. Thumbs up on all of it.
Everyone commented on the shrimp platters. Large count size with lemon seasoning. The tenderloin sliders with greens were exceptional and had a different twist using horseradish aioli on the rolls instead of something more traditional. Grilled chicken skewers were really tender and did not lack seasoning. Two crostini dishes with goat cheese were both successful, one with caramelized onions and the other I believe with prosciutto, had both crunch and flavor. The antipasto platter was lush.
The only thing that didn't work as well as everything else were the mini BLT's on biscuits, which were dominated by the tomato even though the right portion of bacon was used but was now cool. Fresh crudité was also available. Two dessert trays provided biscotti and iced shortbread cookies.
Until I actually eat in the restaurant, 4.5 stars, but this is absolutely a place to order party food from if having an event.

We had an event at our home in Avon and the food was all catered from NE Pasta Co. the platters were absolutely gorgeous and every single bite was divine. Absolutely outstanding job by the New England Pasta company! Thank you, Kim, for all of your help!
