Brunch outside, kind staff, and then.. omelet bliss. Be prepared for the dilemma of choice. So many options of delicious Mediterranean goodness. Went with a couple friends and we all were giddy w our breakfast selections. This is one of those not flashy, understated gems.

Falafel plate and salmon crepe combo are a match made in heaven! Situated a little on the outskirts of the hustle and bustle of town, which I loved for the relative quiet. The outdoor seating is simple and nice. The only downfall is that the staff seemed like they really didn't want to be there...

I recently dined at Mosaic Café in Northampton, and it was a fantastic experience! It was summer so I ate al fresco on the front porch. The café's relaxed atmosphere paired perfectly with its authentic Moroccan and Mediterranean cuisine. I ordered a delightful blend of savory chicken and sweet almonds wrapped in flaky pastry. For my main course, I had lamb, which was tender, flavorful, and served with a beautifully spiced sauce. Each bite was a taste of North Africa, and I anticipate an early return. Highly recommend this spot! Update: I returned since then with a friend and have more photos to share here.

Really enjoyed this place. Definitely a good place to stop. I had eggs and home fries, smoothie, split pea soup. Wish I had room for stew, next time, they all look so good.

The fish stew was delicious, hearty, and healthy. It had plenty of salmon, huge chunks of carrot, and punchy olives and capers. It was the kind of meal that filled you up without making you feel gross. I had a fresh carrot, orange and ginger drink to wash it all down which I highly recommend. You order at the counter here and pay at the same time, after which they bring you your food. This is a little awkward I think if you're planning to order dessert. I sat outside in the front but I kept changing seats when the stench of the nearby dumpsters got to me. I moved to the back where I didn't have this problem. The food is great and the guys behind the counter are friendly and informative (and not pushy at all... didn't even ask if I wanted a drink which I almost forgot) so I could definitely see myself returning. Enjoy!

We had a lovely meal at Mosaic tonight. My wife had the Salmon Salad which chocked full of fresh vegetable and had a large well cook piece of salmon on the side. I had the Lamb and Vegetable Couscous. The plate was stacked high with carrots, zucchini, winter squash, eggplant, red pepper and turnips and was loaded with tender braised lamb. All served over couscous in a rich, flavorful sauce. Both dishes were fresh tasting and very satisfying. The service was friendly and informed and the no-frills dining room felt like eating in a good friends house. I totally recommend Mosaic for a reasonably priced meal.

Great food, as always! Got the avocado salad with chicken this time, but the (savory) crepes ate also excellent! Finished the meal with a Turkish coffee. The place is dog friendly as well!

Everything was amazing, the people, the food, the atmosphere, and especially the prices! In my survey of delicious salmon to last me two days. I can't wait to come back.
