"The Works Cafe delivers exactly what a great café should—fresh food, thoughtful flavors, and a menu that feels both intentional and satisfying. The Bacon Avocado Quinoa Bowl stands out. Hearty without being heavy. Clean ingredients. Bold, balanced flavors. The quinoa is well-prepared, the bacon adds just the right amount of savory bite, and the avocado brings a smooth, fresh finish that ties it all together. It’s the kind of meal that leaves you full—but energized, not sluggish. The atmosphere matches the food. Welcoming. Comfortable. Easy to settle into whether you’re meeting someone, working for a bit, or just grabbing a solid meal. Service is efficient and friendly without feeling rushed. If you’re looking for fresh, well-crafted food in Keene, The Works Cafe is a standout. Thoughtful menu. Consistent quality. And meals that feel good to eat."

"Recently was in town for work and had such a good experience I needed to make a review and I'm definitely not a review person. To start when I walked in I noticed the clean environment and fresh smell of bagels and my mouth was already watering. When I pulled up to the register I was then greeted by the most delightful bumble bee of sunshine named Deborah or Deb I think? Now if I had to guess this woman was working in commissions because of how accommodating, friendly and kind she was. After that I got my food and coffee and sat on the couch for a bit enjoying my breakfast sandwich (bacon, egg, and cheese, I know, classic) and it was just perfect! I just enjoyed the cozy vibes through and through. Sad I can only leave 5 stars cuz I'd give it 100. Great work!"

"This place is busy on a Sunday morning! The line was probably 10 people deep. Things move relatively quickly though. Got one of the quinoa bowls, which you can watch them make in a skillet right in front of you."

"Love the breakfast wraps and the versatility of ordering ahead. Always ready waiting on the shelf. The quinoa bowls for lunch are also a great choice, so filling enough for two meals!"

"Deborah Buffum, the best front of house service around. Friendly, approachable and fast. Counter service at its finest and the food is great too. What a wonderful place!! The staff is best in the business"
