You bus your own tables. It was very busy all 3 days I ate here but food and drinks came out quickly. The place has a gorgeous interior and really fun menu but I'm rocking 1 star bc it could REALLY benefit from some simple sound treatment. t's extremely loud / especially the kids, chairs against the floor and the clanking and clearing dishes. The staff was kinda young and Gen Z emotionless/blank and bored - irritated to be at work but mostly it was super loud - chairs scraping the floors, voices carrying, etc It's a must do out of the airport or if you live close by. I just hope they get the noise under control.

We showed up at 11:30am and per the worker it was a little thin but still many acceptable options. LEMON BLUEBERRY MUFFIN: -- nice irregular shaped appearance -- visually appealing -- not too sweet -- pronounced balance of both flavors which is rare with these two flavors when combined -- oftentimes the lemon dominates the blueberry -- tastes even better than it looks -- quite moist without being oily or greasy RATING = A JASMINE HONEY LATTE (HOT): -- smooth and just enough flavor and scent of both -- tastes natural and authentic -- smooth java RATING = A+ Quaint and country vibe inside. Very roomy space. Conveniently located near the airport for this weary traveler.

This spot has come highly recommended by many folks in the area, and I now see why. I headed out on the 40 minute trek south east on a Sunday morning and the parking situation almost scared me away. It will be packed, but don't worry, there will be a long line, however, it moves quickly and efficiently, and the staff is friendly and happy to help you when you reach the counter. The food was phenomenal! I personally tried way too much for one person. The cinnamon roll, a jelly doughnut, the short rib breakfast biscuit sandwich and the egg and cheese, avocado and parsley (also on a biscuit). In my defense, I had half of each sandwich and split them with another person. I was stuffed and had zero regrets. I can't wait to go back. You could not choose a more scenic surrounding. It is insanely gorgeous, and hard to comprehend that this place exists in Granby, CT when it belongs in the South of France (birds singing, bees buzzing about the flowers while the horses stroll the grounds) you're surrounded by top tier nature. My tip to you, would be to select your bakery and pastry items once you get inside and check out the posted menu, choose your (bread, donuts, etc. ) and then order a breakfast sandwich and drinks lastly, specifically coffee/lemonade etc. The berry lemonade is so good this time of year, then just go outside and enjoy your people and the scenery!!
