"Take the last train to Clarksville I'll be waiting at the…read morestation We'll have time for coffee flavored kisses And a bit of conversation" (The Monkees) Congamond Coffee & Café has a large and very beautiful seating area with a very eclectic furniture mix. I saw wood dining room chairs, upholstered living room chairs, small tables, big tables that would be at home in your dining room, sofas, love seats, and game tables for checkers. And to make things even better was the generous spacing between the tables, so you never get the feeling that you're crammed in next to another party who might overhear your deepest darkest self-incriminating statements. We stopped in for late morning coffee and pastries, and learned their coffee is a special kind of coffee. Their coffee is "shade-grown" meaning the beans are allowed to ripen more slowly to enhance the flavor. We ordered an Americano (2 oz. Espresso, 6 oz. Water for $3.50), a drip coffee, a Cinnamon Bun ($4.50), and a Spinach Feta Danish. I had the Americano and the Danish and they were both very good. I never heard of "shade grown" coffee before, but I was impressed with the flavor profile. And that Spinach Feta Danish was fantastic. Congamond has a big food and drink menu with coffees, lattes, chais, smoothies, and hot chocolate, breakfast, lunch, and snack selections. The only less than stellar component of our experience was customer service. Yes, our orders were taken and announced promptly, but there was no hint of friendliness, courtesy, or customer engagement at all. Perfunctory kind of says it best.

My barn" (Jerry Lee Lewis) This newly constructed ice cream shop in Windsor is a relocation of their old Bloomfield shop. You'll find them at the end of the spiffy Noble Market and gas station complex on Day Hill Road. Frisbie has a walk-up ordering window with a large easy to read menu board, plenty of parking, outdoor seating, and of course cups, cones, sundaes and shakes. There were fifteen flavors available today, and we both ordered the same thing - a $6 single scoop of Bolton Banana Chip on a sugar cone. The ice cream was very good, a deep banana flavor, bits of pureed banana, and plenty of outstanding dark chocolate chips. We sat at one of their outdoor tables and enjoyed our ice cream on a hot 90-degree day. Hello Summer!

The drive here, no matter where you're coming from will have you grateful for this vibrant season, full of the most beautiful colors. Any New Englander, or their guest is sure to appreciate! This property is just stunning. It is rustic, homey and has the loveliest people working here. The inside is small, they had quite the gathering of moonshiners. They offered us samples of the Cranberry and Apple Pie Moonshine. These are potent and so tasty, just as the names suggest! We sat outside, enjoying the sunshine while sipping on the Moonshines. When a lady came out distributing more. One serving of each was plenty for me. Shortly after I went inside to pay. I was expecting it to be around $30, because there was a sign that each shot glass is $3. Well, it was all on the house, just because it was our first time! Full Moonshine is open on Sunday 12-5. Please stop by and support this small business that makes delicious Moonshine!

The couple that runs and owns the place definitely have the gift of hospitality; they go to extraordinary lengths to make your visit a memorable one. This is not so much a business as a generational passion handed down over the last 100 years. This place is a destination spot, so bring some snacks and food; engage your hosts and enjoy some homespun New England hospitality and New England scenery.

I also saw children of all ages, riding animals in the pen. Entering the building with the ice cream shop is so welcoming. The place was busy, but the line moved quick. There is a great system involved here and it works when it gets busy I ordered up the small hot fudge sundae with chocolate ice cream, and within five minutes it was sitting in my hand, and I was out on the porch, sitting on a very comfortable bench. Taking in all the sites is just bonus. It's so peaceful up here. The total including tip was $7.50, and this was a very good bargain Now that the good weather is here take a ride up to the backcountry through Simsbury Granby, and into Granville. It's just such a great ride through farm country. And once you get here, it's hard to leave!

As a farm, they…read moregrow vegetables and fruits as well as raise animals such as chickens, ponies, horses, and pigs. They also have a brewery onsite, called Maple View Brewery (I've reviewed that as well.) It's a beautiful property with plenty of parking. The brewery barn serves delicious beers and a couple of cocktails. The restrooms were clean. There were plenty of seating outside; picnic tables, chairs, fire pits, and even a play area for the kids. There was a tire swing and some tire obstacles. There is a farmhouse that is used as an Airbnb too. They also have a horse barn and offer pony rides for a fee. It is kid-friendly and dogs are allowed on a leash and outside. We went on Sunday and a band was setting up to perform. They were also grilling some food. I've been in the winter and in the autumn, both times were fun but it is better when it's warmer out so you can sit outside. The seating inside can be limited on a cold and busy day. The service was always good too. One issue was, the bees were rampant; the beer tender said it's because they were using cinnamon sugar rim on the pumpkin beers lol. Overall, a fun place to hang out and we always enjoy our visits.
