Great place to eat, have a drink, listen to local music. Staff is great (Adam is our favorite)!! We were looking for a place to have a very small intimate wedding and Markoh’s made our evening absolutely perfect!
Fantastic lattes, so many flavors + cold foam available. Great breakfast wraps!! Nice spot for a coffee date!
Loved this place! Great decor - eccentric, fun, and spooky. A lovely place to hang out for breakfast or lunch. Service was friendly and very fast. Fair prices and good food. Looking forward to returning here. A few good vegetarian options and a variety of coffees and teas.
Breakfast was made very quickly, even for our group of 6. The food was delicious. The Vermonter was a very tasty sandwich. Everyone in the group had compliments for their meal.
Really cute family oriented cafe. Iced coffee is affordable and tastes unique. Right in Ayer downtown!
Markoh’s in Ayer is fantastic, but Cal is the secret weapon. His Old Fashioneds are so good they should come with instructions and maybe a seatbelt. I took one sip and suddenly understood jazz. He’s quick, he’s sharp, and he’s got the kind of personality that makes you forget you only stopped in for “one drink.” Food’s great, drinks are next-level, and Cal keeps the whole place running smoother than it has any right to. Five stars. Highly recommend before the rest of the world discovers him.
So excited that Markoh’s Wake and Bake on Main is here! Ayer downtown was missing a good coffee and breakfast/brunch spot. Been here a few times since they opened and have had nothing but positive vibes from them! It’s cute, cozy, has delicious coffee (Union coffee roasters!) and equally delicious food (those breakfast burritos hit the spot!) Highly recommend stopping in!
