The Scandinavian almond cupcake is a bit sweet for me but has a strong almond flavor. You can find a variety of local food , Scandinavian, and other gifts at the store too. It's a nice place to get a gift on the way to visiting someone. They have dairy products and other perishables as well. There's some outdoor seating at the store and the abundance of flowers outside was a nice touch. I guess, hence, the Kitchen Garden... Service was friendly and helpful. I wished they had some limpa or Finnish rye, but I came pretty late in the day. Maybe I'll try the ice cream sometime, though it's from Bliss over in Attleboro, which is closer to Boston. This general store is a nice stop along Route 2.

We ordered BBQ Chicken Flatbread, Mushroom Quiche, Chicken Pot Pie and every meal comes with a salad. The Flatbread crust is crispy, chicken is tender with the right proportion of BBQ sauce. The quiche was fresh, somewhat cheesy and my favorite thing there. The Chicken Pot Pie is one of the best I've had in a while. It's creamy, crust is flaky and good mix of chicken with veggies. The staff are so kind, friendly and hard workers. I'm not sure why this place doesn't ever seem to be packed, but they absolutely should be. Do yourself a favor and try any of their meals, it is sooooo worth it. The restaurant is rather small, but enough to seat 40 people or so (+/- 10). I also worked here briefly and it could be a good temporary remote working spot. -ODL Connect with me! IG & YouTube: @AOEAT

There are a variety of specialty coffees that have unsweetened coffees and regular flavors which is a wide variety but weekly they have different flavors based on the season or overall creativity. The owner famed "Jeep girl" seems love to add new flavors not just for coffee. The last few visits we enjoyed the bagels flavored such a jalapeno and blueberry. The egg and sausage with the bagel is very strong alongside home fries. We have had lattes and iced coffees. I think that we keep coming back because we always feel welcomed and get great food and drinks. Thanks Spotted Cow cafe crew!

The ambiance is very low key, easy to keep clean tables, chairs and floor. The coffee is good. Pancakes are huge. I asked twice for real maple syrup but unless she forgot to charge me for it, I think I got 'pancake' syrup, which is made of corn syrup and I'm not supposed to eat that. Note to self, if you have a food sensitivity or allergy, be sure they know it because I just tried to order according to my needs and didn't spell it out as I should have. The full order of Irish breakfast - an eggs bene over corned beef hash - is HUGE. A half order is absolutely enough for your average size breakfast. I ordered two pancakes, and one would have been enough for my appetite. Another note to self - portions are big. On street parking. Single restroom off dining area. Friendly staff. Good food and coffee. Definitely worth a stop for a home style breakfast.

Normally we stay inside…read morebecause we hate holidays where everything is closed but we were delighted to find out this place was open. The entrance to the farm kind of sneaks up on you fast; the whole place appears much smaller on the outside, but once you pull in and get to the gravel parking lot, you realize how much bigger it is inside. There was live outdoor music playing and kids laughing and cheering while playing with the nearby caged animals. This place was a great vibe. We weren't particularly hungry so I can't comment on the food, but we did take a walk around and paid for a quart box for blueberry picking. This was our first time and we had no idea what we were doing, but soon enough we filled up our little box very nicely. I recommend you bring some Off or some kind of bug spray if you're anything like me and bugs love buzzing around your ears. Inside the one of the barns was their stores and I picked up a bag of caramel puff corn and a delicious Apple Cider slushie. Everyone was very friendly. Overall we had a very good time here, and I hope to come back on an empty stomach so that I can try out some of their cider donuts.
