Thornes Marketplace, a historic commercial building located on the vibrant main street of downtown Northampton, has been a beloved destination for locals and visitors alike for over 40 years. This multi-level marketplace is home to a diverse array of independent, locally-owned retailers and restaurants, some of which have been thriving in Thornes since the 1970s. From delicious bites and fresh roasted coffee to unique gifts and good books, Thornes offers something for everyone to enjoy. Despite the building's evolution, expansion, and change of ownership over the years, its commitment to the community remains constant, making it a true favorite and a must-visit for anyone exploring Northampton.
This is a great marketplace in downtown Northampton. It has a great bookstore/cafe, candy shoppe, nutrition shop, Herrell's Ice Cream parlor and more.

I come here every time I visit my sister. Even if I'm just spending the night. A lot of unique stores. There is also some great food. And convenient parking.
