The Lady Killigrew Cafe

Found this place close by to a concert we were going to at Montague Retreat Center. Unfamiliar and in the middle of nowhere where, The Lady Killigrew Cafe was a blessing!Timing was great as they close their kitchen at 8pm so we got there around 7:40 with just enough time to grab a bite. Cute and quaint, right near the flowing waters - I wish I got to see this place in the sunlight!The tunes here are great, I was dancing immediately. The staff here is sweet and the space itself is so fascinating! Has a cute charm throughout all the way down to the bookshop.I ordered the Number 1 sandwich. It was flavorful and just right to warm up my stomach. The salad was fresh and unique! Tasty stuff that had me perfectly satisfied.

This unique cafe by the river side is one of my favorite, it is good for spending a quiet afternoon either alone or with a close friend. The setting makes you feel like you are hiding from the busy world and getting recharged. The window seats overlook the river and the water sound can be heard when windows are open. The wine and beer selections seems adequate, but I haven’t ordered one yet. The food choices on the menu are simple and they are good and consistent. However, I wish they can update the menu more often. It’s worth a try!

Only one generic option for hot coffee and cold coffee available. Do not expect lattes or the like.Hot coffee was very bad. (paper cup)Earl grey tea was amazing. (mug)Didn't try the food, I will on another visit. Food stops at 8PM. Cafe closes at 9PM.Atmosphere, cleanliness, view and service was 10/10!Will continue to visit for the location. Sadly, as a coffee-lover, I won't order anything next time.

Very disappointing despite a picturesque setting. Very limited menu. Defaulted to a kielbasa sandwich which was meager & undercooked. Nice bread but w couple of pieces of meat too long & tough to bite through so had to swallow whole chunk. Ugh. Counter service where they swing around the tablet asking for a 20% tip. Infuriating for not doing anything. Also limited seating with individuals on their laptop At the best tables Nursing a drink. Also had to clear our own table. Should’ve gone to Turners Falls. Many more choices there.

I love the Lady K and would probably move away from the area if it closed. The staff are incredible and deserve much praise. The food is pretty good, though the portions have shrunk since 2020, like in many other places.However, the temperature control in the cafe is ridiculous. There have been many times I've considered dropping by in the winter but have known that it will be frigid in the seating area, so I drive on by. In the summer, the cafe is sweltering and there are no fans anywhere. That is a problem not just for customers, but for staff, too!!! Please make the space more comfortable! I feel cold just thinking about it.

Riverfront dining in Pioneer Valley! Come here for a drink (beer, wine, cider, soda, tea, or coffee) and a snack or sandwich and enjoy the view or a book from next door. The dining area overlooks the river, and it is absolutely beautiful throughout the year. This cozy place gets pretty crowded, so you might have to wait 5-10 minutes for a seat, depending on the size of your party.

Great choices of food and drink set in a relaxing and cozy location right by the river. Staff are very friendly with great service. Perfect chance to visit the Bookmill connected to the building as well.

Such a unique and beautiful location in western mass! Came here for a lunch on a weekday and the line wasn't bad at all. Food came out pretty quick, too. Nice staffs and great food.

Not fancy coffee, but good coffee! And the food looked fresh and delicious. Connected to a used book store. Great views! Lots of room to sit. 😊

If the town of Montague were to be described in a single place, it would be The Lady Killigrew Cafe. Such good peanut noodles and peaceful ambiance from the river rolling by your window. I feel relaxed here, and hugged by nature.Vegetarian options: PEANUT NOODLES. DO IT!!!

I had a grilled cheese sandwich with apples on it. The apples were so fresh I traveled back in time to when I was a kid eating them right off the tree. I went there with my friend about a month ago and now we are dating and in love. Coincidence? I don't know.Also I got a copy of a Terry Pratchet book for $7 and they are SO hard to find.

A truly beautiful spot where inside or outside dining are equally picturesque. I ordered a salad but opted to bring it home instead of enjoying on site; I have celiac and was wary of potential cross contamination ahead of a long drive home. They did let me know that they do their best to avoid CC but are an open kitchen. Fair enough but just a heads up for fellow celiac! My friends enjoyed sandwiches that looked very delicious.

Another business resting on its laurels. A beautiful location for sure. The menu is very limited here, so keep that in mind. The food is just OK but pricey for what it is. But The Lady Killigrew is in need of some management changes. When it's busy (for here) service is incredibly slow. There was a 20 minute wait to get into the cafe to order, and then we waited nearly an hour for our food. A simple bagel, a simple grilled sandwich, and a simple bowl of noodles. Why so long? The cafe next door was unexpectedly closed (our original destination), and we were warned that food would take 45 minutes. But there is nothing else nearby, and we drove nearly an hour to visit the mill. Next time we're bringing our own food as this wasn't worth it.

Beautiful establishment. While the menu is slightly limited, the food is extremely delicious! The cafe is beautiful and the open windows with the slight river breeze and rushing water noises make it the perfect spot to get some work done or have a breakfast alone to reflect. The coffee was great and overall it was a wonderful experience.

Wonderful food, for a snack or a meal, baked goods are lovely and pairs very well with their coffee. Great beer selection I've heard (don't drink much), beautiful small Cafe with very pretty views. I love going here for study sessions. Little on the expensive side but I feel it's worth it, peanut noodles are a favorite.
