Cute little shop with a cafe that had yummy food. I had the #11 tofu salad with tahini dressing. It was good but it said it came with almonds and then when I started eating it there were no almonds. I went back up and asked for the almonds and she said they don't have any - which I thought was strange - why wouldn't it be crossed out on the menu then? But she gave me some yummy walnuts instead. My mom got an iced mocha and said it was delicious. I don't recommend buying the champagne chocolates, very dry and tasteless. Friendly staff, I'd go back and try another vegan option

I understand things are hard out there with covid but seriously WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS PLACE!!! Food is awful products are out of date and the staff seems lost and basically unhappy! I went in to give one more chance and looked at the food in the case and it looked worse then a bad buffet! 12 Pine has turned into the 12 faces of sadness and 12 ways to food poisoning!!!

I am so disappointed the quality of the food at Twelve Pine has diminished significantly. The food in the display case looked old and, frankly, bad. The produce in the salads looked wilted and dried out, which makes one doubt the freshness of the salmon used.
I ordered a turkey Cobb sandwich and was surprised to be served deli meat. My husband got the Italian sub, and had to pull meat out of the sandwich because it was dried and hard around the edges.
I am seriously sad about this ..... I don't believe it is COVID-related.

I just have to start off first by saying this, presentation and a greeting is everything walking in through the door. Twelve Pine accomplishes this and much more. I usually order a coffee beverage, their addicting Mac n cheese and a quesadilla. Their staff are not mindless robots but actually go out of their way to be friendly and have a conversation while waiting. Twelve Pine is a breath of fresh air and vital to our town! Thank you guys!

Eh. I'm writing to reviews at once and it a comparison. Had 12 Pine Mac and cheese at a party I attended. It was a one note Dish that did compare to another proprietor who specializes in Mac & Cheese. 12 pines Mac and cheese was bland and lacked flavor. Not worth the calories.
Went in reluctantly with my child who wanted something. Can someone tell me how a rude individual like the owner George can stay in business? Are the patrons of Peterborough so blind to see he is ruining the reputation of the town? Communities are judges by the business the keep in business.

Normally Twelve Pine is my go-to up around Peterborough. Always seemed clean and professional, so we trusted to get a take out meal there during this whole COVID crisis. We step in with our masks, and none of the staff are wearing any masks or gloves (shouldn't they be wearing them when handling food anyway)? But ok, maybe they wash their hands regularly?? But also NO masks... during this global pandemic! The workers were putting out food and getting to-go salads ready with NO PPE. The man in the kitchen also had no gloves or mask. I don't know, just thought they might change some policies

We stopped by for lunch recently. The food was very disappointing! I had a basil, tomato and chicken sandwich. The bread was dry and fell apart. And the serving resembles a half sandwich with little taste. My wife had what was supposed to be a chicken burrito which resembled a chicken salad sandwich, Terrible!

Food was fine. Store is great. But something strange I must tell you about: Their policy is that they won't give you a glass of water. You have to buy a drink or bottled water.
I've never ever seen that.
I'll be returning soon for an update.
Everyone who reads this please ask for a glass of water!
Maybe there's a good reason, but their staff wasn't able to articulate it.

Overpriced food barely heated through questionable on time and temp as far as health goes. Waited for someone to assist me and my two sons with desserts for 17 minutes and they proceeded to help several other people not quite sure what was wrong with us we were standing in front of an open register but nobody saw fit to even acknowledge us. What are rude and kind of messed up on a nice day out with my boys not appreciated one bit

Have had lunch at Twelve Pines a few times over the years when visiting Peterborough, about an hour driving time from my home. The spaces to eat are plentiful, indoor or out of doors. The food is good enough. Recently enjoyed a sandwich w/ friends, we all liked our choices.
If one wants water to drink with your meal, you'll have to purchase bottled water. The very courteous kind young woman at the cash register stated that the sinks are used for handwashing & meal prep so could not be guaranteed to be potable.
First time I've ever refused a cup of tap water in an establishment

Cool shop with lots of local and unique items. Chocolates, oils, soaps, beer, wine, etc. They offer hot and cold food and beverages. Some made in house, others made locally.
Today I purchased a slice of Lemon Berry Mascarpone Cake. Fantastic flavor and texture. Cake a bit over mixed due to tunneling in the cake, but it didn't affect the texture.
I look forward to trying their hot food in the future.

Really loved Twelve Pine for the food and the shop...but the mulled cider was my favorite part for sure. Situated right in the middle of a great shopping area, Twelve Pine was part country store, part gourmet kitchen store, part cafe/restaurant and part coffee house. There is a very large selection of different types of kitchen goodies, such as rubs, spices, teas, baking mixes, syrups, hot sauces, coffee, pasta, jellies...you name it, they have it. A large wine selections, cheese case, bakery and deli section and prepared foods counter round out the shop. Sandwiches can be served cold or hot pressed

It was such a relief to stumble upon this place. We got great coffee, saw there were interesting looking fresh salads in the case, and pastries as well, if we wanted to go back for breakfast.
The interior is clean and professional catering to the gourmet. You can buy cutting boards, jellies, wines. You can also sit down and eat whatever you purchase there.

Twelve Pine is my go-to place for an easy and delicious lunch in Peterborough. It's also the scene of some of the sweetest lunches I shared with my grandma, splitting a piece of quiche and a fruit salad, followed by a piece of cheesecake or a scoop of gelato (depending on the season).
The food options can be a little expensive, but you get what you pay for. The salads are dense and rich, the soups are creamy and filling. There aren't often many vegan or vegetarian options, but there's usually something that can be adjusted for every diet. And there's ample seating in the sunny

I have never had a bad dish here, i really enjoy the salads probably the most. The coffees are not as good as AESOPS next door. They have gelato, which is trending now it feels like everyone is pushing gelato these days. Beer selection is fun and enjoyable, the wine selection is also very good but i feel like it is over priced. The people here for the most part are very nice. There are some nicknacks in the front that could be good for a last minute gift idea.

This can be a "through the looking glass" experience. It is a pretty room with gourmet foods, wine, craft beer, and food beautifully displayed. There is also nice food item memorabilia. It is a fun place to browse.
But the taste and price can lead to disappointment. Admittedly, they take on a tough mission. Preparing food for serving (and reheating) hours later will contribute to a drop in texture and flavor.
Twelve Pine seems to be more focused on tourists than locals. Always plenty of BMW's with out of state plates. (I think the local folks gravitate elsewhere. And there are

This upscale former Peterborough Market has a spread of expensive but fresh lunch options, specialty gifts, and gourmet treats. Good spot to find a food-related gift or to pick up a small gourmet treat for yourself.
"Market" section -- filled with specialty foods/gifts, like Stonewall Kitchen jars, chocolate-covered fruits, teas, wine, and craft beer. Pretty good selection, but ridiculously overpriced. ($10 for a small jar of spread? $7 for a tiny bag of chocolates? I bought one, but wasn't impressed.)
"Food counter" -- deli-like case with pasta salads, grilled veggies
