★★★☆☆ 3.0 Kayleigh M · Dec 2025

I thought I’d try colburn cafe as a local looking for a place for lunch and was severely underwhelmed by the Caesar wrap I received, it had no visible or tastable Caesar dressing or Parmesan (keys to a Caesar wrap right?) so it was extremely bland as well as my matcha had came out super milky with barely any matcha in it at all I might as well have asked for a cup of milk. All in all disappointing as I’d paid $28.95 expecting a fairly good lunch at that price! Yogurt parfait was good.

Cute little cafe in a huge bookstore, definitely worth checking out! They also have packaged gluten free sweets and their quiche is marked gf as well

Best clam chowder I’ve ever had (and I was born and raised in in New England and only moved away recently for work. I travelled to Maine a ton as a kid). It was so creamy, they do NOT skimp on the clams. I just wish they had more seating indoors :// we gave up and went outside but I can’t imagine doing that in the winter or when it rains.

Cute little cafe located inside the Northshire bookstore. Quite a few menu items were unavailable which I’m assuming is due to running out of the ingredients. Would not recommend the Winter BLT; it had a curry sauce that did not complement the flavors of the BLT sandwich. Small selection of teas, coffees, cider, and assorted pastries. Wish they also offered flavored lemonades as an option.

Came to visit Manchester and wanted coffee. Was headed to Starbucks to play it safe. Hesitant to try Colburn Cafe as the reviews were not great(4.3 stars). Although, i am glad we did!!! Definitely give it a try!! We got the parmesan leek and spinach feta danish’s and and it was delicious. Coffee looks milky because it is decaf- delicious… also got an iced coffee and delicious as well!!☺️
