LOCATION: The cafe is located near the town park at the beginning of charming Main Street. It is close to the Appalachian Trail, so the cafe is an especially welcoming destination for hikers. CONCEPT: Off the Trail Cafe is a place where community members, as well as visitors from afar, are welcomed to refresh, connect, and relax. EXPERIENCE: The cafe is open every day except Wednesday until 3 PM. The menu is evolving, but what is apparent is a commitment to support and showcase other businesses in the region. For example, Litchfield-based Peaches N' Cream ice cream and Millerton's Harney & Sons teas are served, and on Saturday mornings you'll find fresh donuts from North Canaan-based Pastries by Hanna in the pastry case. (Hopefully-- they don't last long!) AMBIANCE: The setting is relaxed, welcoming of all, with no pressure to leave. SERVICE: Items are ordered at the counter. TIP: The inclusion of a children's play area also highlights a value for making everybody feel welcomed to spend time in the cafe.
