there are many many 1* reviews here which seem to do with the proprietor. speaking for myself,…read morejust the pass'n tru life kind, this is one of those indescribably essential places YOU MUST NOT MISS. outside of course you're drawn in by the odd assemblage of moose statues, and of course maybe even wonder whatup with this. of course you realize that moose are seen here now and then, wanderers likely on a pilgrimage from their native area in the adirondack region. but it's easily dismissed unless you reflect on what may be inside the building. in my case, i drove past it maybe a quarter mile before realizing what i was about to miss... true rural americana, eccentric in all manner and aspects. i turned around, of course. the property is littered with all manner of handmade replicas of whatever, though i don't recall any of those wind-driven whirligigs, ever popular among the natives here. i took a few pics to add to the pile though really a camera doesn't do this place justice. if you're tempted to park in a veterans only spot, correct your attitude unless you qualify: show some respect, willya? i needed something to justify my going inside, and figured i'd buy some apple cider donuts, a few to keep me company. i was on a long drive west to the thousand islands where i was headed to stay with a friend in his cabin on oak island, and as grocery stores are scarce there i had to bring something to eat. i bought a dozen, they were a bit stale but then i prefer stale donuts. now the personal touch here ain't too gentle. the old man is crusty, but even crustier is his son, or so i assume he must be. one or both seem to have picked up a little limp along the way possibly as result of military service. whtever the case, only a dedicated first degree relative would be able to handle this job working with the old man. inside the place, there is every conceivable knick-knack ("small worthless objects, especially household ornaments" oxford online dictionary says) that exists, most made in the usa. for some reason though the vibe here isn't real welcoming so if you want to browse around, be sure to make it seem that you are looking for SOMETHING in particular. probably though nobody will give you a second glance until you begin to make your exit. i suppose there was a time when the place was visited by some hapless shoplifter, at least that might explain the lack of friendliness here. if so, i suspect he never came back after being treated to the wrath of these guys. and really, what is there here that anybody might want badly enough that they'd risk stealing rather than pay the man his $10. hell just walking around this assemblage of stuff is worth that as price of admission. i say give the old man and his son a break, they seem at heart nice enough men, just need to get their ashes hauled now and then.

Beth W. Review-you are wrong. My husband and I were present when this incident occurred. Your…read morehusband was asked 3 times to move his car and he became combative and was nasty and the owner was having none of it in front of the patrons. I also saw when customers were coming in that he said some nasty things about the owner. I have been a customer for about 18 yrs. This is always my first stop before heading to Manchester Vt every year and they are the nicest family-always very happy to see returning customers as a well as new ones. Very sad that you had to make a statement at the end of your review about politics-when that had absolutely nothing to do with the incident. Well you missed out on all the great local goods that the store offers to their loved customers. Yelping is a great way to serve the communities-keep it civil. Best~

We were bombarded with 2 pride flags when we pulled in the parking lot. One of which says "everyone's welcome here". Then we walked in the vestibule to be "welcomed" with some sort of pride ladder with notes of encouragement in it. The door has a bunch of stop signs on it saying to wait outside the door to be seated. The wait is quite awkward to say the least. Especially when no less than 4 waitresses make eye contact with you and don't bother to acknowledge your existence. Looking through the window like a puppy dog we could see that there were plenty of open seating. After waiting for an exorbitant amount of time being shunned, we decided to leave. It must be that this restaurant is no longer "welcoming" I a straight Christian couple. Too bad. It used to be a nice place..

Here what happened: last month when I went to the cafe as I have been going since the day they opened. Now I don't live in the area but have family and property here . I sat down with my service dog and ordered a $20 dollar breakfast . Then I checked out all the funny sayings on the wall. Also introduced myself to his wife and gave her my business car as I had put a bid and had a contract on 30 East Main Street. She took my card. Then I purchased 50 dollars in cups of which I wrote a check from my business of 26 yrs, Black Rock Holistic Health Center. I sat with some nice people from Vermont had great conversations, was really relaxed and having a great time. Mr. Atkin came out at about 11:15 and said we closed at 11.. I said sir your front door says you close at 11:30. Meanwhile I have never met this guy ever in my life. I New prior owner whom is a wonderful kind WOMEN. Anyway he said we posted somewhere, not on the restaurant , some local thing I would have no idea about, we closing early. He was aggressive and rude and nasty all in one. Too much work in the kitchen Mr. Atkin. Then I said to the waitress I can go , but she kept saying I was fine don't worry, as I gave her a 10 dollar tip. Meanwhile it's only 11:20 and the waitress again says your fine. So as I am getting up 2 officers show up to speak to me. Are you serious, this asshome calls the police on a VIP client whom spent $80 dollar I am sure not your average spender in that type of place. What you got on the school of hard knocks, lol Bestt part is the county sheriff asks me if I know Philip DeMarco, I said yes that my dad, and I didn't know but apparently we are related through marriage and the cop couldn't stop praising my dad and said he was his hero and taught him everything there is to know about cattle.. And my dad was one of the biggest cattle dealers in NY state and Auctioneer. Anyway, apparently Mr. Atkin lied and said some girl, that be me, was saying she owned many businesses, really asshole this is not a crime. In fact I own 3, and I am a MULTI MILLIONAIRE and , been a doctor for 26 yrs. Oh and then He also lied about some guy said I pull my shirt up. Seriously !!!!!!! I had poison ivory and I lifted my shirt to to scratch it, oh and excuse, isn't this the 20th century!! I had a sports bra on under my t shirt which is usually what a I wear and most women in america when. It's hot and humid. Maybe your just a women hater. There is obviously something wrong with you!!! I don't know this guy, I believe my dad did business with his dad since he was a farmer and apparently Mr Atkin never got off the farm obviously. It seems to me Mr. Arkin you have a beef with the DeMarco name, saw that was my name and took the wrong actions. This is a warning next time I will sue you for defamation of character and being so agresive towards me. If your so unhappy maybe it's time to retire. Recommend Canteen Cafe instead!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beside the next day I went to the other breakfast place Canteen and it was the most elegant, delicious food and service. Was amazing and they have internet and everyone was so kind and nice and I only spent 15 dollars.. Time to retire dude and hand the restaurant over to someone who has manners and not grudges against innocent people whom spend $80 dollars at your little cafe.
