Do you like cute little coffee shops and libraries? This restaurant said, "Why not both?" Enjoy delicious local eat and drink and some good reads! Which are available to purchase as well if the story is good enough!!! Amazing atmosphere, quaint and inclusive! Bring your pup to have their photo added to the wall of Thirsty Mind dogs! Can't recommend enough!

Such a chill place. When I needed room meet up with someone in the Amherst area, this is the first place I thought of. I had a good chai and my counterpart got some great snacks. My only suggestion is to take down the signage about wine. They don't offer that anymore.

A cozy place to sit and relax. It has a calm atmosphere with lots of choices for coffee and tea. I had a Chai Latte that was spicy and delicious. A piece of pumpkin bread complimented my latte. Lots of books for sale for a buck a piece. You can’t beat that. My wife found a Nicholas Sparks hardcover...for a dollar! Very eclectic vibe. The other customers sitting around added to the positive, happy feel. There are various seating area which include a high countertop facing the wall, cushy leather seats with tables next to them and some standard cafe type tables and chairs. Artwork on the walls completes the warm and inviting feel. The place is clean, the employees are friendly and professional. I love it and will be back.

One of our favorite go to places. Grab great coffee to go or stay awhile and enjoy the tasty pastries and food. Also check out the amazing Mayan Art and Crafts offered by the GuateMaya Art and Culture Connection.

My husband and I were looking for a new coffee shop that was open during the late afternoon to evening on a Saturday. I found Thirsty Minds in a Google search and we were off. The shop is open til 8pm on Saturdays. We walked along the cozy Village Commons across from Mount Holyoke to the shop and we're instantly greeted by the barista. Taking in the vintage meets college cozy atmosphere and the various age groups of people in the shop, the barista asked what poison we were looking for this afternoon. When we said we were new he told us to please take our time and he would answer all questions. After a few minutes of going over, we settled on iced beverages and pastries. There were gluten free options. It took little to no time for our orders to be prepared. Everything was delicious and the shop gave us ample to look at and discuss. I definitely recommend if your looking for a quaint coffee stop

Found this spot on google while driving in town. Service was great and the food was even better. Got breakfast sandwiches and a latte that was soooo good! Can’t wait to visit again!

Staff were kind, patient and attentive! Arrived a few minutes before close and placed a multi drink to-go order. They did not rush me at all, just listened and got my order exactly right. Food and coffee were good and everything came out quirky even though they were quite busy. Would definitely return!
