Food Scene
Great coffee. Great espresso drinks. Great atmosphere. They have baked goods and light snack boxes. Owners are good about posting daily on Facebook to show what scones they’ve made that morning and what they’ve brewed. Amy was a founder of this place and our son works here in the summer. The current owners are wonderful.

Walk in their beautiful gardens and step inside the barn they turned into a store. The best, most creative jams, apples, pies, pumpkins and squash in the fall. We like their raspberry-jalapeno jam on cream cheese with crackers. Sea salt-grapefruit jam tastes great with curry. Monthly farm dinners if you book in advance. Open daily 9-6:00.
