"I finally tried this new cafe tucked behind Panda East. Early OCT but 86 degrees so I got the mango smoothie. So good, not too sweet, obviously a fresh mango as the main ingredient. A cozy, friendly atmosphere. If it were cooler I would try one of the amazing sounding chai drinks. Great outdoor space too. What a pleasant surprise! Update late OCT, 50, rainy. I got the saffron tea, maple scone and "deluxe date." This place is so yummy."

"Amazing food and service! I’ve grown up eating a lot of boulani (fried tortilla-like dish with potatoes and leaks inside) but Masuda’s were some of the best I’ve had. Everything was incredibly seasoned (especially the meat 🤤) and the vegetables in the salad were so fresh! And the atmosphere was cool too, with beautiful wallpaper, plants, paintings, and both outdoor and indoor seating."

"I spent some time at Masuda’s cafe while I did some work. It was such a relaxing atmosphere and the customer service was great! It’s refreshing to know and see that the owner is still active and involved in her business, even though they are fully staffed with great employees. Most importantly, I had a hot chai tea that was delicious. Now that the cooler days are approaching, I plan to have more teas (and study sessions there)."

"Beautiful space, delicious food! We had the South Asian sampler and Avocado toast. The sampler had 4 large pieces of flatbread and 3 beef patties with yogurt along with a generous salad. Incredibly good together! The avocado toast was excellent- bread was really tasty. Pistachio cardamom latte and saffron tea were also really good. Unique breakfast - with a great vibe. We will be back!"

"Very nice place to eat, drink coffee/tea, and hang out. They really laid attention to lighting and decor to make it feel comfortable and warm, and the food is tasty. Amherst needed a cozier cafe downtown and Masuda's fulfils that need wonderfully."
