Our favorite restaurant in Beacon. Delicious food and lovely family business. I’m gluten free and there are lots of options. Most of the menu is also dairy free
A beloved local spot known for its busy vibe, consistent quality, and made-from-scratch breakfast options that keep visitors coming back.

I love this place so much. The staff are incredibly kind and thoughtful and always make me feel so welcome. They make my favorites perfectly every time and accommodate my gluten free needs. I am a regular because of the wonderful people that work there and the consistency in tastiness. I see them interact with so many others in the same warm way. And let me tell you they get BUSY in there--they are so busy and still manage to keep it all going. Grateful for this local spot.
This spot is a go-to in Beacon for delicious cookies and coffee, but the ambiance is a bit worn down for hanging out.

Thought I'd give this place a try but it wasn't a great experience. It's very dirty, everywhere but especially the bathroom. Crazy thing is that I never even went in the restroom but as I was trying to sit in the lounge area and enjoy my tea and gluten free blondie (which was so horribly sweet I could even eat it) I had to get up to close the bathroom door because It smelled so bad. And not like someone had just pooed but like a bathroom that is not cleaned regularly. When I peaked in there was water on the floor and flies and it just looked and smelled really gross. The sad thing is that I just left because I actually needed to use the restroom but it was so disgusting that I decided to just wait until I found a clean one.
A bustling café with a diverse menu, cozy indoor and outdoor seating, and praised for its delicious offerings and prompt event catering.

We recently used Beacon Daily for catering an event! I worked with Chris to create a menu that worked for the amount of people I was having. He was easy to work with, honest about the amount of food needed, clear about pricing and prompt with communication for any questions I had. They were there to set up food promptly and explained everything that was there, etc. Most importantly, the food was delicious!! All guests were happy. Thankful too for the gluten free options for my gluten free guests. Highly recommend for catering! I would considering working with them again in the future.
A charming spot with a welcoming vibe, it impresses with attentive service and a variety of tasty options, perfect for a leisurely outing.

I hate writing negative reviews but I feel obligated to leave one for the sake of anyone with food allergies or dietary restrictions who is interested in dining here. I have celiacs, which is an immune deficiency triggered by gluten (wheat). My family chose this restaurant because they are known to be very accommodating for dietary restrictions and we made them aware of my restrictions when making the reservation. There was an item on the menu labeled as gluten free that I was interested in and upon ordering our food, I was notified that the menu was incorrect and that some items labeled as gluten free are actually not gluten free. I instead ordered the salmon and risotto. My food didn’t come out with my family’s food and I waited 15 additional minutes for my food to arrive to the table. During the time I waited, my family noticed that nearly every dish that arrived at the table was undercooked and needed to be sent back (and was still not cooked to the desired temperature when it returned to the table). My salmon was delicious and all was well until about an hour after I returned home when I became violently ill and remained so through Christmas. The only redeeming quality for this dining experience was the incredible, albeit very overwhelmed, wait staff who unfortunately had to do a lot of apologizing for our dining experience. I really wanted to give Melzinga’s the benefit of the doubt but when my health is on the line I expect it to be taken seriously or at minimum be told that I cannot be accommodated for.
I absolutely love this place! The owner and staff are so kind and really know how to make a healthy and yummy smoothie! Lots of options for those who are gluten free/dairy free! Highly recommend!
