Head to the Root Cellar Cafe and Brewery just off the square. Everything on this chef-inspired menu is amazing. I always just go with the special, and I’ve never gone wrong.

If you don't have much of an appetite and have a big sweet tooth, the Baker's Bagel is AMAZING!! Honey cream cheese on a toasted bagel, topped with grilled cinnamon apples. Do it.

Great vegetarian options. The black bean burger is delicious. They've got turkey bacon on the menu which is awesome if you're not eating pork.

Service was a little slow, but everything tastes good and the layout made you feel like you were in a small town gem.

Everything is great, especially the people. Watching your weight? Try the cherry hazelnut oatmeal. Not so worried about it? Get the Brazilian French Toast.

Get the shepherds pie with a fried egg on it and a Pale Rider Darkside. Breakfast of champions.
Elizabeth StoneJanuary 9, 2016
Food is very salty. Seasoning was good if you can get past the salt. Portions are average size. Not sure we will be back... It was all just "ok".

Don't order the Caesar Salad, unless you want a big bowl of spinach with dressing sprinkled on top.
