We've always loved Putnam Pantry for their self serve sundae bar for special occasions. We love their penuche sauce as we've never seen that elsewhere. Today I ordered their grilled Mayflower sandwich, which was delicious with turkey, stuffing, cranberry, and cheese on sourdough bread. It came with a side and I choose their pasta salad. Very good. The sandwich was so filling, it lasted 2 meals. Highly recommend all I've mentioned. Atmosphere is great. You walk into an old fashioned chocolate store and its decor brings one back to the past. Worth the trip. Also we got a slice of their carrot cake. Best we've ever had!

Was told by a worker at Rebecca Nurse's House that this was the place to check out. Boy were we glad she told us. Beautiful outside and delicious inside. The sandwich was delicious, the broccoli salad was great add a pickle and it's lunch. All the candies are excellent at tempting my friend and I. We fell into temptation, chocolate and so much more!! Ice cream was available also but I got full on lunch .

This place is fantastic! We always enjoy visiting Putnam Pantry. Their Lime Rickeys are some of the best around, and the homemade chocolates, ice cream, subs, sandwiches, and vintage candy selection are all top-notch. What really makes it special is the owners—they’re incredibly kind and often right there baking, cooking, or helping customers. It has that classic New England charm. If you haven’t been in a while, it’s definitely worth stopping by!
