About the Cafe
Local businessman Jack Blair built our building in the early 1800’s. The location itself is one of the ten original land grants from England in 1734. The building housed a brick storehouse for over 20 years. Later, a pharmacy operated here from 1834 through the late 1970’s. Since that time, the building has served the community by housing various types of businesses.
The main/ ground floor houses our main dining, baking, and kitchen areas. It’s the bustling-yet-centered heart of this historic building. Our third floor is the perfect space for intimate gatherings, fully restored with original pine floors, exposed brick walls, and original windows. Guest dine and special events sparkle overlooking Main Street’s events.
