Come See Our New Kitchen!
Hallelujah, our kitchen is finally done!! We survived all of our inspections and moved in over the weekend. We started serving with a small menu on Monday, July 26th. Our hours for now are Monday - Friday, 10 - 2, but we will expand those as we see what our traffic flow dictates. After Labor Day weekend we will add some evening hours on the weekends. We will still continue to carry salads and sandwiches in the retail refrigerator when the kitchen is closed. We want to thank all of our loyal and patient customers for waiting us out - you must stop in and see it, it turned out great!! Now we look forward to providing everyone with a much broader menu and very fresh, tasty food.
New Delicious Treats
We have some new wonderful sweets in the store, thanks to a new, local company called "Sarah's Sweets." Each chocolate is hand rolled and dipped, some are then drizzled with a contrasting color. All of her candies are attractively packaged, so they are just as pretty to look at as they are to eat and they make great gifts!! Currently we have Coconut Bon Bons, Chocolate and Peanut Butter Fudge, Buckeyes, Chocolate Pretzel sticks, Peanut Clusters, and several different brittles. Stop by and check them out - they are yummy!!
Fresh Local Bread and Sweets
I am excited to announce that we have a new baker, from The Blue House Bakery, working with us now to provide fresh bread and sweets! I am starting to use her wheat bread for the store sandwiches, and will be selling loaves as well. She will keep bringing in other goodies as time goes by — things like cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, sweet and savory scones, sweet potato bread and pizzelles. I ate a cinnamon roll while they were still warm, and thought I had died and gone to heaven!
New Flavors of Graeter's Ice Cream!
We are now offering two new flavors of Graeter's Ice Cream — Lemon Sorbet and Chocolate Coconut Almond. We also have our regular flavors: Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chocolate Chip, and Mint Chocolate Chip. Come in and check them out today!
Silverbridge Coffee
We get different coffees in from Silverbridge all the time, in whole bean and ground. The flavors we have right now are Silverbridge Blend, Sumatra, Southern Pecan, Breakfast Blend, and Pumpkin spice. If you have any special flavors that you would like us to carry, just let me know and I will get them in.
Fresh and Delicious Sammy's Bagels
We now carry Sammy's New York Style Bagels from Columbus! We call in an order every Tuesday and they are delivered on Wednesday. We have blueberry, cranberry, asiago cheese, oatmeal and pumpernickel in the freezer, or you can order from the full list of flavors: Plain, Egg, Cinnamon Crunch, Stix, 5-Grain, Salt, Blueberry, Everything, Sesame, Honey, Poppy Seed, Cranberry, Black Russian, Honey/Sesame, Garlic, Jalepeno Cheddar, Pumpernickel, Sun-dried Tomato, Onion, Oatmeal, Cinnamon Raisin, Asiago Cheese, Rye.

Recipe of the Week
This a really fun recipe to make for family and friends. It is different than our usual chicken dishes and makes you look like you spend a lot of time on them, but you can make them in advance and reheat them in the oven.
Chicken Cakes with Remoulade Sauce
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 medium red bell pepper diced
4 green onions thinly sliced
1 garlic clove minced
3 cups cooked chicken chopped
