There is plenty of outdoor seating and we caught the opening songs of a local acoustic set--when the weather is good, this place is sure to be packed!!! When you enter the building, there are plenty of local goods--soaps, snacks, beverages and etc to peruse. You order at the counter and the food is brought to your table. There is art throughout the building, so make sure to check it out. The food--oh the food--chefs kiss. My eggs were cooked to perfect, my latte was delicious (though not quite sweet enough), the bread pudding was decadent without being cloying. I'm fully obsessed and hope to visit every time I come to MD to see my family.

I was in the area and decided to grab some things to go. I got their Locals Cheeseburger which I…read morehave had before and enjoyed. They cooked it the way I liked and I still enjoyed it. I also tried 2 additional dishes: Old Bay Crab Soup. Bread Pudding for dessert. Old Bay Crab Soup. The menu described it as crab broth with sherry wine, carrots, celery, onion, potatoes, backfin blue crab, Old Bay and scallions. I got it in a to-go cup, and it was served hot, but manageable. I was glad I tried it. For dessert, I got their Bread Pudding, described as baked in a rich custard, served warm over vanilla crème anglaise and finished with a three-berry compote. Since I got it to-go, all those extras were packaged separately from the pudding itself. I ended up having to look at someone else's posted picture of the end-product so that I could figure out what to pour on before what. It helped a lot and that was some good dessert.

This is a combination fruit/vegetable stand, nursery, and pies.. The fruit and vegetable part is…read morenot as big as Farmer John's down the street. What is the standout here is the quality of pies. The owner makes his own pies in the morning. You can call ahead the previous day and make a special order. His specialty is fruit pies. He serves many types of pies that are in season, like a 4 pound stacked apple pie, apple betty, apple tarts made from a whole apple, etc. The selection isn't as extensive as Mom's in Sterling, but the quality is first rate. We got the last pies of the day, but when we got home, they were great. These pies have that made at home quality to it...not that refined texture like you get in a upper end restaurant. If you are in the area, it is worth stopping by to see what they have. This place is 10 miles north of Leesburg city.

I think something happened before. Regardless, I don't have a dog and it doesn't affect me. What matters is the ice cream. They get the milk from Guernsey cows which you can visit at certain times. The milk is super creamy. As a result, the ice cream is thicker and creamier than others. I like their creamy flavor if you like plain. They circulate flavors and recently tried their strawberry which has chunks of strawberry and has a nice flavor profile. They are right off the road so easy access. They have picnic benches all around and a playground for kids. Certain times in Spring/Summer, there's a flower field to look at. The service is good. Never had problems. The inside is rustic and simple. The main thing is to get the ice cream which is worth it in my opinion. It is a farther drive for me, but the quality doesn't compare. We had tried a lot of places near by and we still find this one as the superior one.

I stopped by more often this year and I definitely like coming here. The only downside is the parking on the busy Saturdays.

Weekdays do not have the pies which I heard was amazing. The one produce I keep coming here for is the white peaches but it feels like I only have like a 3 week window every year to get them.
