After a day of antique shopping, residents enjoy heading over to The Hammel House, a bed and breakfast that is popular for its restaurant. “They have gourmet food,” Greely says. “They have a new chef that is really good. They do specials all the time. My favorite is their chicken and waffles.” Just down the street, locals enjoy Butter Churn Café. “I personally love the Butterchurn Cafe for lunch or a milkshake on a hot summer day,” Layne says. Stone House Tavern is an excellent option for international fare in a pub interior. They also offer an outdoor, covered patio that customers enjoy. Residents also enjoy B&B Carryout & Diner. “It’s a staple,” Greely says. “It’s a gas station that has one of the best breakfast sandwiches around, The Big Bo.” Groceryland is the neighborhood spot for groceries and essentials.
