    At first, my husband and I were really excited to try this "mom and pop" looking place. When we went in, we were greeted with a friendly "hello" before being seated. We ordered two wraps at $7.99 each (the price listed on the menu). The food was fine. It's nothing to write home about. The problem occurred when we received our check charging us an additional $5 for each wrap!!! That's almost double the price on the menu. When we asked why, the register clerk stated they increased their prices to cover the increased cost of food. However, no one on the restaurant staff informed us, and the real prices aren't listed anywhere in the restaurant! This place really let us down. It appears they choose to overcharge us simply because we were from out of town and thought they could make a quick buck off us :(

    Known for their great breakfast!

It's three restaurants under one roof! The buttery yellow exterior is warm and inviting, with gardens, arches, outdoor lights, lovely courtyard, and even a surrounding white picket fence! In this tiny town of Lunenburg, it was quite a surprise to find this countryside tea room/café/tavern! What a perfect location for weddings, and other events! We came for tea! The tea service is at 2:30 and the hosts kindly accommodated us calling a day ahead, as reservations are required. We were tickled pink when we entered the foyer painted a bright magenta with shelves of teacups and wide-brimmed fancy hats along the walls. Our table was in a cottage-styled room with English chintz floral tablecloths, robin egg blue walls, a cozy fireplace guarded by a hot pink lion statue keeping watch over his domain we dubbed him Pepper), and weathered wooden fences provided the backs for the benches, so shabby chic! We loved the bird motif throughout this cozy room! The mantle was strewn with various bird figurines, amidst bird houses & nests displayed at various spots around the room. Our places were set with beautiful rose patterned china, as Paul, our host offered us tea! He then brought the multi-tiered plate server that held the most delectable small bites I'd ever had at a tea room! Paul was extremely amiable and spot on as he described the offerings. He informed us that the chef, his wife Kathy, made everything from scratch! There was a scrumptious ham, cheese and green pepper quiche, an amazing spinach/feta pastry, and a creative Reuben pinwheel with homemade sauerkraut! Then of course, the classic cucumber finger sandwiches! We were blown away by the savories! The sweet potato & cinnamon scones were fluffy, dense and perfectly sweetened, served with a cinnamon vanilla whipped cream... delicious! For the dessert course, we we served pumpkin spice mini cakes & homemade chocolate truffles. Wow! We were completely satisfied with the food and the service was impeccable! A delightful conversation ensued with Paul and Kathy as we learned how they met and decided to open this establishment! Paul is also a shoemaker, and serves the local community cobbler services in a small shop behind the main farmhouse! After our meal, we wandered to the second tearoom which was painted a golden yellow with heavy wooden furniture exhibiting loads of china, coffee/tea urns, teapots, and collectibles. The focal point is the bright white fireplace, decorated for the season! Note the gorgeous Indian quilt wall hanging, quite a story there! This room is definitely more of an classic English style. Through the archway you enter the café, a much more casual atmosphere with a few tables donning oilcloth tablecloths, checkered floors, and a hutches and shelves filled with various teas, coffees, and gifts. Here the locals gather for sandwiches, salads, and a few menu specials! Also, along with homemade cakes and pies for dessert, they serve Richlands Ice Cream! The next room is the cozy British tavern with a couple high-top tables and seating at the small bar. I could definitely see my hubby and I here grabbing a pint, some pub fare and listening to live music. A blue leather chair, Guinness signs, suits of armor and deer heads add to the rustic, warmth of this quaint tavern. Nothing short of a power couple, Paul and Kathy have a flair for making their customers into their friends! I certainly hope they thrive and survive during this pandemic because it's obvious they are serving the community and surroundings towns with the best in culinary pleasures!

    My friends and I went to Afton this past weekend for a quick getaway. Before the trip, I did some…read moreresearch on local coffee roasters, and Happ Coffee was easily at the top of my list. On our way to our Airbnb, a friend and I stopped by Happ, which is located inside an industrial-style building that's incredibly spacious. There's plenty of seating, along with a dedicated area where beans are available for purchase. The barista was really friendly, and we ended up having an in-depth conversation about drink recommendations. When I settled on a cappuccino, he walked me through how each milk option paired with the espresso. I ultimately chose whole milk since it doesn't have an overpowering flavor like almond milk, which allowed the light-roast espresso (an optional upgrade) to really shine. I didn't fully enjoy the cappuccino during the first couple sips because the mouthfeel of the whole milk felt a bit too thick, which didn't pair well with the light roast. However, it became more harmonious as I continued drinking, and the highlight was definitely the bright sweetness of the espresso. I really appreciate a coffee shop that pulls a light-roast espresso well. The barista asked for my thoughts, which I shared, and he then pulled me a shot using their South Paw (house espresso blend) beans to try. I thoroughly enjoyed this light-medium espresso, which was bright and strong, without the unpleasant acidity or bitterness that often follows. I don't typically recommend ordering a straight espresso shot at most coffee shops, but Happ does it well. Overall, it was a great experience -- lovely coffee and friendly baristas who genuinely care about their craft. I left with one of their limited-release coffees (a Peruvian Geisha), which I'm looking forward to trying as a pour-over at home.

And I'm…read moresaying this as someone who grew up on Turkish coffee in Palestine and Jordan, and searched for the real thing across countless cafes in the States. The search is over. The coffee here isn't just good -- it's correct. The grind, the heat, the cardamom -- everything is dialed in with the kind of care you only get from people carrying a tradition, not following a recipe. The basbusa is outstanding -- house-made, fresh, with that perfect syrup-to-semolina balance so many places get wrong. Best I've had in years. Can't wait to try their kunafa next. What really sets Fairuz apart is the atmosphere. This is a family-owned spot and you feel it the second you walk in. The hospitality is genuine -- that "sit down, you're home now" energy you can't manufacture. If you're Middle Eastern and homesick, come here. If you've never had real Turkish coffee, come here. If you just want somewhere that feels human and unhurried -- come here. Fairuz didn't just meet my standards. It raised them.

Husband got a double espresso and I ordered an Americano. His was in a cute cup, but mine was in a to-go cup with a lid. Since we were sitting in, I would have preferred a nice mug. We ordered a few pastries to bring home. I presume it was the owner working and he was very welcoming. He was cleaning the entire time (9am ish). On the positive, the place looks spotless. I did feel it was a little odd to mop while open and in the morning. The chocolate pastry in this picture was 10/10 for me, so good! It had so much flavor and texture with chocolate, pistachio and maybe some caramel. Would definitely go back, particularly to get items to take home.

I ordered a chai latte with almond milk, the total was about eight dollars, which I find to be more expensive than other cafés. The chai latte lacked flavor, with no strong notes of black tea or cinnamon to indicate that it is a chai drink. Honestly, to me, it tasted like hot diluted milk. I took about 3/4 sips before I poured the whole thing down the drain at home. It actually was just bad. Really, I should've asked the barista for another drink as this one was not up to standard.
