Pulse Cafe

I’ve never had a bad experience at Pulse. Wraps, burgers, salads, pizza, desserts, it’s all delicious with good-sized portions. My only regret is living 2 hours away so I don’t get there as often as I’d like! If you haven’t been—don’t wait any longer. It’s amazing, friendly, and just the best in Pioneer Valley

I stayed in town for one night to attend a class and had heard of Pulse in the past. They are located very close to a strip of busy road with hotels and other lodgings, so very easy to access for those staying in the area. The whole menu is vegan, and it was a tossup on what I'd ordered since I was alone and couldn't get one of everything to share with my husband (😀). I ultimately settled on a mushroom calzone I added smoked tofu to for $3. The tofu was well done! Everything was delicious. The marinara was flavorful and the knots were nice and fluffy crispy. I was even able to get a smoky tofu bowl for lunch at class the next day 😊

Great place! We were all very pleased with our meal today at Pulse Cafe. Two of us had the impossible Pulse Burger, and one, the Caesar salad. Loved the cleanliness of it all, friendly and helpful staff and the overall vibe in this establishment.

I have really enjoyed the few meals I have had here. The food is always fresh and delicious, and the cosy, fireside atmosphere always makes it feel special. It’s a bit frustrating that it closes so early on an evening (7pm) as it can make it feel like a bit of a rush to get there after work. But the friendly waiting staff never make me feel like I need to be leaving any earlier than would feel comfortable.

Upon suggestion of the cashier, I decided to try one of their burgers for the first time. OMG, the chipotle burger is SO good. I'm not even vegan. It could not have been better. Best burger in the valley. I got their housemade black bean. Perfectly balanced in texture, flavor, My mouth is watering just thinking it about it now. I raved about it afterwards in the car to my partner.
