AMHERST — Masuda’s Cafe, a new culinary destination in downtown Amherst, will celebrate its grand opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony, hosted in partnership with the Amherst Area Chamber of Commerce and the Amherst Business Improvement District (BID), on Friday, June 20 from 11 a.m. to noon at 17 Kellogg Ave.

Blending the warmth of North American breakfast and lunch classics with the vibrant flavors of South Asian cuisine, Masuda’s Cafe promises a bold new addition to the local food scene. Whether it’s a quick grab-and-go, a cozy brunch, or a midday meeting over coffee, Masuda’s offers a welcoming space with both indoor and outdoor seating options. The cafe features coffee from Rao’s Coffee Roasting Co., a local institution known for its high-quality, micro-roasted beans.

“Masuda’s Cafe is Amherst’s newest breakfast and lunch spot, offering your favourite North American classics with a delicious South Asian twist. Think fluffy pancakes with a twist, savory breakfast plates, freshly baked pastries, and specialty coffee that will keep you coming back for more,” owner Masuda Abdullah said. “With a hybrid dining experience, whether you’re in a rush or want to sit and enjoy, we’ve got you covered, and we can’t wait to serve you.”

Jacob Robinson, executive director of the Amherst Area Chamber of Commerce, stated that “we’re thrilled to welcome Masuda’s Cafe to our thriving business community. Entrepreneurship like Masuda’s not only enriches our local flavor palette, but also reflects the diversity and innovation that makes the Amherst area unique.”
