Mosaic Cafe

I normally like this place. Today I’ve been waiting 45 minutes (am still waiting) for Mosaic Eggs. I just uncomfortably had to inquire. I feel like I might have done something. But wait – they’re finally here!

Certainly one of the top 5 restaurants in the Pioneer Valley. I’ve tried most of the menu (and it is extensive) and have yet to have a bad meal. The atmosphere is very welcoming, the owner knows his customers, the owner cares about his customers, the food is reasonably priced, and the food is just, well good.
Crepes. Yum.
Citron Crêpe. The best.
Atlas Stew. Fantastic.
Avocado Salad. Delightful.
Moroccan Tea. YES.
Dolma Platter. Can’t go wrong.
Omelettes. Those are all good too.
**I wish the management would consider a different garbage receptacle. It often has food on and around the lid, especially during peak hours.

Truly one of the best places to eat in Western M.A. I have been here enough to have tried many things on their menu and have never been disappointed. Their crepes are quite simply the best you’ll ever have and all of the stews I’ve tried are wonderful.

Wow what are the odds of a small town like Northampton having two great Moroccan restaurants?
That’s right, in town you can choose between either Mosaic café and Amanouz Café when it comes to Moroccan food. I’ve visited both and they’re both roughly about the same in my opinion. They’re very laid back where you order at a counter and bus your own table. The cheapskate in me likes that business model because it doesn’t require any tipping.
There’s roughly eight or nine small tables inside. During the day natural lighting shines through the windows.
My lamb brochette sandwich was great. I just wish I had ordered one of the stews because from the looks of them they looked fantastic. Prices range from $ 7 to $ 13 for most menu items.
So yes, I’m jealous of you NoHa folks. I wish my town had a Mosaic Café.

Just ate here and found the food very flavorful. The Avocado salad was delicious! I’d love to know their recipe for the dressing. Also had their shawarma crêpe which was pretty good — it was tasty but the meat had a little more fat/​cartilage than I’d like. That may be normal, but I’d personally go with something else next time.
Also, if you do come here, you order at the counter, they give you a number, and then grab a seat. They’ll bring your food out to you once it’s ready.

I am a definite fan of this place. You order at the counter, get your own utensils and bus your own table. Service is good for what it is. You can eat inside or outside at whatever table is open that you like. It’s super casual. The food is really good. Ingredients are all fresh and tasty. The menu is mostly Moroccan with some French and American coffee house influence. I have ordered The Atlas omelette and the Moroccan stews here. The mint tea is great and so are the coffee beverages. I would certainly advise all visiting Noho and inclined for this type of cuisine to check this place out. I have been here a few times and never had a bad meal or experience. Bön appetite!

Excellent food, excellent selection. I am addicted to the eggplant sandwich. The crepes are also delicious. I feel like you can’t go wrong here. I love eating in the back patio. My family’s favorite!

So tasty! Had the trout salad and a banana Nutella crêpe… Great atmosphere, pleasant staff, love coming here!!!

We wanted to like this place. We really did. Outdoor seating, intriguing menu, tempting food aromas. We hoped for a «mosaic» of flavor.
Instead we got monotony – an uninspired flavor profile with a mushy texture, as though both dishes (one crêpe, one chicken) came from the same crockpot.
The service methodology is odd but forgivable… or it would have been, had we not waited 35 minutes for our food. And the food was delivered with an attitude rather than an apology.
Northampton has plenty of great places to eat. This isn’t one of them. We won’t be going back.

Came with a party of 9 adults and a baby, and took over half the front porch. We’ve had delicious fresh food in a peaceful setting. They were well able to manage the large order. Also, extra kudos for the gluten free crepes that were available! So nice to be able to enjoy them.

Great food! We ordered Mosaic chicken salad and lamb brochettes on baguette and it was so so delicious.

Wow, what a very pleasant surprise! Went there for brunch this morning with friends and was expecting standard breakfast fare, but oh no, not here. Their omelets are RIDICULOUS (as is the crêpe you can choose to get with it). Lentil soup was phenomenal. And the Tangier Chicken Stew was just amazing. There was not one thing we didn’t thoroughly enjoy. & for it being a Sunday during brunch time (we were originally going to go to Sylvestors but they had a 45 min wait) there was no wait and a lot of places to sit. Good energy, awesome spot, can’t wait to go back to try the sandwiches!

Great cozy place… house converted into restaurant… very nice. Lots of great food choices… excellent choice.

This place is truly superb. It is a casual atmosphere, with reasonable prices and excellent food. Brunch is wonderful but expect lines.

La Pacifique crêpe is so so good! Not exactly like a crêpe in France but great flavors nonetheless. Their coffee is decent, not the best. Nice staff most of the time. Sometimes the line is a bit long but nothing to complain about.
I went there once before playing at the Iron Horse, and I really enjoyed their orange-​carrot smoothie! I was there for a long time and they didn’t rush me in any way.
I recommend it.

The cashier was super helpful. The system is you order and pay before sitting. You bus your own tables. I thought our food took a while and I noticed the cashier didn’t wear gloves when making my drink or getting my baklava. However the lamb stew was absolutely delicious over Cous Cous which was a special request. I really enjoyed the carrot ginger juice drink. I loved the walnut baklava. Couldn’t have had a better Mediterranean meal. Also they have little notes all over the restaurant to help you out and give you suggestions. Check it out

I was walking around Northampton with a friend and it was her turn to choose a place for dinner. She chose Mosaic Café.
Everything smelled delightful as we approached. Outdoor seating was available and not overrun by disrespectful smokers. I ordered Spicy Lamb Merquez Sausage Brochette and we split an olive plate. She ordered some stew. forgot what kind. It came quickly. The olive plate was disappointing as all they did was throw a bunch of whole olives on a plate with two small slices of tomato and cucumber and served it with pita. They were good. just not what I was expecting.
When the meals came, they smelled even better than when we were approaching the restaurant. My spicy lamb was delicious. Enough kick to call it spicy but not so much I couldn’t enjoy it. By far, the best meal I’ve had in a long time. We exchanged bites and her stew was also amazing. Many different ingredients on one plate and enough food to comfortably feed two. I can’t say enough how well-​prepared and delicious everything was. Different people checked on us a couple times to make sure we were enjoying the meal and didn’t need anything. I can’t wait to go back.

I’ve eaten here once and currently live in Northampton and I can say without second thought that this is the WORST restaurant in Noho. The omelets are completely without flavor and far too moist. The cooks, who you can see from behind the cash counter, seemed to be gawking at my friend while we were ordering and the interior is just tacky and cold – Totally reminiscent of the inside of a staged, modular home.
Just don’t go, jesus, just don’t.

This place is really good. Delicious Mediterranean food is obviously their specialty. I had the trout salad today and the fish was grilled very nicely and without bones. I have had everything from a sardine sandwich to lamb stew. All very naturally created and tasty.

FOOD: ⁴⁄₅
Delicious crepes! I ordered the Crêpe Jambon aux Fromage from the Specials menu, and it turned out to be quite scrumptious! A lot of flavors, heavily induced with spices just the way I like it. The iced latte I ordered was satisfying too.
AMBIANCE: ³⁄₅
Not much here. It’s a small small place, a couple tables, pretty cramped. There was a fly that incessantly bothered us. We tried killing it before our food came but with no avails.
SERVICE: ²⁄₅
It took a while for the food to come. Service was essentially nonexistent; we clean up our own table and emptied our own dishes. I wish I had known that tips aren’t really given here since everything is «self-​done»
I wish Sylverster’s line was shorter! If I ever go back to Northampton again, that’s the place I’d want to go, not here. Regardless, this is a worthwhile place to come if you’re a huge fan of Mediterranean food, or simply what that small, home-​like feeling.
