Cafe 12

Really great food- really terrible politics. From a stealthily placed 3% sticker in the back, to the racist, Big Lie propaganda poster they hung on the front counter the day after they opened from the Jan 6 insurrection. People should know where their money is going when patronizing business that hate America.

I absolutely love this place! Amazing, real, cooked in house food and baked goods. Delicious hot drinks (coffee, lattes, tea and such). Bonus signature cookie included with your lunch sandwich. They have everything, from a wide variety of full service breakfast choices (including waffles, Saturday beignets, eggs, bacon, homefries or amazing selection of fresh fruit (my fruit I chose instead of homefries included super fresh and tasty blueberries, pomegranate seeds, grapes, orange slices, Granny Smith apples chunks, and NO filler melon like some places which made me super happy because I'm not a huge fan of melon) and on the go absolutely delectable breakfast sandwiches (amazing egg, cheddar cheese, tomato and avocado on English muffin) to gourmet lunch sandwiches like the mouthwatering roast beef and boursin on (I think?) in house baked rosemary focaccia bread. Nevermind their chocolate mousse cake (and all their other delicious baked goods) which is absolutely divine! I have used the mousse cake to successfully make a bad day better several times. Brought their holiday cookies to the office work party last year and everyone enjoyed them and the Cafe was even nice enough to plate them on a sweet little platter for me last minute when I swung by morning of having realized I didn't have time to bake my own. My family has also enjoyed their premade take home and heat up lasagna and pot pie dinners. The ladies who work there are great and the place is really cute and has a great and distinct character. Great place to grab stuff and go or sit and relax and enjoy your food. Haven't had a bad experience yet and have been going for years. Definitely a little jewel in Chelmsford!
