Such a cool little spot and great service! We had skillfully made coffees, fun browsing the many books filled with treasures, and wonderful service. The young man working today recommended chocolates and gave us recommendations on how to avoid some icy patches on the way home—so thoughtful and lovely!

A real community gathering spot. Ski right out the back on the fairgrounds — fill my coffee cup before heading out on the trail and fill my belly up with mushroom bisque and amazing ravioli on the way back. And somehow always make some new friends there.
Locally owned and woman owned too!

Easily some of the friendliest staff ever! It is like stepping into your favorite aunt’s house and getting a cozy, delicious meal. My sister, my two kids, and I swung by this afternoon after a hike and enjoyed a Smoked Turkey Panini, Bresaola Sandwich, and two kid’s meals, everything was excellent! There was a bit of a crowd when we arrived but didn’t have to wait for a table and didn’t wait long for food. We will absolutely be back!

This cute cafe has it all. We loved the coffee, they seem to have good breakfast items, but we came for brunch (heavier options available). Yum food, the lentil soup was my wife’s and my favorite. But all dishes were excellent. The cheeses on the cheese plate were not your standard cheddar options (although nothing wrong with that), but these cheese were great choices. Cute vibe, the store element is nice as well (good prices) and bonus live music! And a wine list, plus changing beers on draft, like I said they have it all.

Wonderful evening find for dinner last night! A nice quaint eatery with and each dish was delicious! Grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, and sautéed brussel sprouts hit the spot. The ambiance of as nice and cosy and the resident doggie kept us company.

Neighborhood gem, so lucky to have discovered this place through having stayed with the owner as an Airbnb guest. Lucky to have been there for Labor Day weekend and special dinner out on patio with live music PLUS the neighborhood’s weekly talent show. This place is definitely central to locals in Sandwich. Couldn’t have picked a better place to stay and eat during our trip to White Mountain. Nice variety of breakfast and dinner, as well as cafe options. Staff are friendly, locals are also very inclusive and welcoming. Bonus – there’s an ice cream shop inside! Also nice selection of gifts and even local beer.

Abortion pills in a basket in the bathroom. Supposedly, family friendly restaurant. Children could take them. I don’t think it is legal to leave pills laying around for kids to take. It made me sick to my stomach seeing them there and very sad. I won’t be back.

We stopped in twice on a weekend getaway to NH. The food was delicious and quick (we had pizza, brookies, ice cream, orange juice, lattes, Italian sodas, smoothies and coffee cake!), the atmosphere made us feel right at home (it was apparent it’s a good community space), the value was great, and most importantly, the staff was incredibly friendly and kind. I only wish we lived closer so we could stop by again!

We come here often! Great relaxing atmosphere. Outside seating when weather permits is great. Food is great and they typically have some great beers on tap. Kids really enjoy being able to walk down to get ice cream.

Excellent atmosphere, really great country atmosphere.
Service was extremely slow despite the restaurant being almost empty and there was a lot of staff talking at the bar
Food was not as described: I ordered the mozzarella and tomato sandwich and it was quite skimpy, they didn’t have any arugula or greens as mentioned in the menu.
They do sell cute country stuff.
