Belly Of The Beast - Northampton

Fresh local food executed with care and dedication, and you can taste it! Pastrami crumbles on toast with eggs for breakfast was a revelation, and the icy chai lattes come in old glass sun sauces, so you can see the milk with the tea whirl around, it is a sight to see. Friendly service, beautifully designed space, enormous and constantly changing menu with many options for nutritional restrictions, could not recommend it anymore.

Listen! These people do comfort food every way, mixed with healthy pleasures, a wide tea selection, robust coffee and beer! Good, local beer. I was just here twice, but everything I've cheated so far was great. They supply local things if possible, although everything I have seen was quality. Vegan, GF, meat eaters and nuts will find everything here. Also worth mentioning are the portions and value: you can try to smash small dishes, decide for a soup and salad, or go for a larger dish for very little money. A previous reviewer mentioned fine aromas about the menu; say that my sins, recently opened by the lively pepper sauce, throw them over my perfectly roasted sweet potatoes! Talking heads were also on the speakers. The decor is bright and charming! Please visit this place!

I enjoyed Jesse Aimee's cooking literally every day for a year back in the day, and breaking bread with them was frequently the high point of my day. I saw first hand how they obsessed over (in the best way) and rejoiced in every detail of not only food preparation, but procurement. I know a lot of folks like me are vegetarian specifically because of the ubiquitous waste in the food industry, and the usual inability to know where and how animals on the table (or plants for that matter) lived and died. I applaud those who make the choice to eat meat with eyes wide open, and those––like Jesse and Aime––who revere their meal guests by revering the food they prepare and serve. Would that all eateries were as conscientious as bellyofthebeastma . I simply can't wait!

This place was great! I arrived in the middle of a huge rush, and the counter person remembered my name an hour later. It was really impressive. The food was unique and hyper local. I'm so stoked for these guys and am so excited to eat there again! Thank you!

Food was amazing, atmosphere is cozy and super cute, staff is top-notch. Will make a point to stop here every time I'm in the state.
