“The Blue Umbrella Bistro is located in the historic town of Metamora, a Franklin County canal town with a whopping population of right around 188 people. It's very much a low-key tourist town with the Whitewater Canal right in the middle of it and an aura that definitely makes you think of one of those small towns where you go antique shopping and listen to old timey music. As a fun fact, Yelper Rick G. and his wife (and less active but still fellow Yelper Holly G) used to own a music shop in the town and this Yelper owned a small bookstore within that music shop. Rick G. is actually in the midst of planting a small church in the town. Back to Blue Umbrella. This is very much your typical Metamora business. It's primarily opened on weekends (I believe it will open for some specical events) with Friday, Saturday, and Sunday hours. They focus on breakfast, lunch, and baked goods and are particularly known for their amazing cinnamon rolls. You can also get some other goods here with, you guessed it, most of them falling within the framework of a country theme. Interestingly, I find the food very reasonably priced but the goods perhaps a tad high. As has been noted, the Blue Umbrella has a limited menu that can change from event to event. They actually have a fairly active social media page. One of the benefits of having surgery this past Friday has been folks dropping off various little goodies. A Blue Umbrella cinnamon roll arrived today and it has been absolutely heavenly. If you've never been to Franklin County, it's actually a very beautiful area. It can get really busy during the Metamora Christmas Walk, but it's a really unspoiled area with water, nature, a few trails, and nearby Brookville that is a bit more populated. It's a great day trip. If you visit after this next week, you can even go to church on Sundays at Boundless Ways of Grace and meet Yelper Rick G. While The Blue Umbrella is not too bad in terms of accessibility, the town itself is pretty hit and miss. It's a much older town and Franklin County is a more impoverished area. So, there aren't a lot of upgrades. It's very much a historic area. So, while I can't go every place around here I definitely still enjoy the occasional day trip and visit to Blue Umbrella.“
