This cafe is truly a hidden gem in the Jaffrey/Peterborough area! Everything we ordered was so good. The views are beautiful. Service was great. Also, there is a farm stand with fresh produce & eggs next door. We will definitely be coming back!

This place is a real gem with a wide variety of pastries, breakfast, and lunch choices. Everything is made fresh and you can meet a lot of the local residents. There is an outdoor patio with an excellent panoramic view of the valley below and the mountains in the distance which some artists use for painting. The gazpacho soup is my favorite item.

I love sitting out on the patio overlooking the valley eating a great Optimist Burger.

I love this place. Big Ben is my favorite drink, the lattes are good too. Everything I've have is delicious. Pastries, cookies, homemade candy bars, amazing bagel sandwiches. Everything is local and farm fresh! I'm egg sensitive so I can eat their egg dishes!!!! Everything is homemade from scratch with love by the awesome owner Keith. The place is cute, great artwork, the indoor tables are really beautiful and cool. The patio view even got a "Wow!" from my 8 year old son.
