We absolutely love Puffins! My husband and I accidentally stumbled upon this gem in 2019 when we got haf just gotten engaged and we just came back in 2025 with our 2 year old. Their mission is great, the view is amazing and the atmosphere is so welcoming and cozy.
First time visit. Totally awesome food. Quiche was phenomenal! Cranberry-Walnut bread (toasted and buttered) terrific. Staff was very friendly, accommodating. They sell mini baked pies, breads and other baked goods on the premises. The restaurant setting with views on the river was perfect. In warm weather, there is a covered deck to enjoy the river view even better. It's open today with Mother's Day specials. I'll be back again soon even though for me it's a 40-minute...read full review
