Imagine my horror when the last piece was unjustly removed from the rack! Damn you pastry gods!! I sullenly advanced to place my order and timidly asked, " is there anymore coffee cake?" To my immediate and immense relief, an entire tray of steaming hot coffee cake -- directly from the oven -- was placed onto the rack, its intoxicating aroma wafting luxuriously across the counter like a warm blanket on a snowy day. Oh, and their coffee, chai and matcha are excellent.

Also so food and pastries but I didn't try any of those items. The coffee was Peace Coffee so can't go wrong there.

One of my favorite bagel places in the whole country and I go a lot of places :) Their bagels ARE THE BEST: soft, chewy, always perfectly toasted!! This is my first time trying a sandwich (Santa Fe) and of course it's fantastic (do wish the bagel was toasted but I should have asked)... Favorite thing is their selection of great cream cheese and bagels baked fresh every day! A great place for grab and go or if you're planning a party - cream cheese by the tub! Their space is amazing for remote work and I always grab a coffee (they have an awesome rotating selection). Staff is always friendly!!

Hotdogs and coffee are also on the menu. there is plenty of room to eat inside and enjoy the air conditioning, but I chose to take my snack outside to sit in the shade on one of the many benches and enjoy the cool breeze. Scoops also rents bicycles so that you can take a tour around town. This is definitely a nice feature since the bike path, once an old train track, is right next to the store. In all, I think that Scoops is a very good addition to this classic small town.

It wasn't what I was hoping for I opted for a pour of Black Robe Stout, that his the palate mark I was hoping for. Cute bright little tap room w a small parking lot. It was easy to spot from State St/13. For 2:00ish on a Saturday there was a good crowd of people but easy to find a seat. I was surprised when I asked the owner how long he'd been around and he responded w ten years. I had no idea it'd been that long that I'd: been meaning to pop in. Cheers Ward House.

On this visit, I tried the strawberry cream ale and the hard selzer. Both were perfect for the warm day. The strawberry was just lightly sweet and very refreshing.

Saturday i finally made the Half Pint stop, my 385th brewery....so i consider myself seasoned…read more... talking to brewers and owners is my JAM. I arrived a little before noon open, an empty truck was already parked so I headed in w the thought; maybe unlocked early? As I approached the set of double doors in front of the non-opening one was the cutest little gray cat...who as I approached got up to meow greet me... I talked back as I opened the door asking "are you going to come in w me?" When I saw a man inside say "she stays outside" so I entered. There was a fella on the corner of the bar that I started talking to about which beer he was drinking? As we talked and the beertender commented, I quickly realized he was the brewer and co-owner Mike. Perfect... just who I love to have behind the bar!! I was @ Half Pint for just over two hours....for which....i rarely stopped talking. As brewer/co-ownet Mike was slanging....and without a wince my whole visit he endured my yammering about beer & brewing!! Mike is not nice, not even lovely. He is...downright....DELIGHTFUL!!! He effortlessly....climbed my Top Owner.... Brewer Ranks!! He was so kind and knowledgeable! Shortly after I arrived a group of four guys, regulars came in...said they were bachelor party brewery hopping. Mike immediately rattled off four breweries they could head to in the area. How knowledgeable and kind! Party Captain Dave had a pint of the Cerveza and couldn't stop raving about it. Mike and I had built a four pour flight to which when I finished I was trying to decide on a pint.... despite Dave's raving I kept shrugging it off as I thought: mehhh I've had plenty of lagers... it's likely not anything special. Shame on me! I cant put my palate on it....but ....just something about Mike's Cerveza was so.....refreshing! It was a solid choice for my only pint. I appreciated as we discussed my next beer.... he asked: any you had to choke down? I replied w a hearty no, they were all delicious, even the two IPA's as that's not a style I particularly care for. We also discussed the tap beer he brews but doesn't even like. Again, i appreciate his honesty. Without a doubt.... already looking FORWARD to my next Saturday stop.... after a grad party in town! If you havent already been.... i HIGHLY recommend Half Pint Brewing! They also have a little popcorn machine when you come in, aww thanks. They're starting bingo one night a week, Pleasant Grove Pizza Farm can be delivered on certain days. The brewery has a county agreement that there will only be five live music performances a year so if you see one advertised and think: ahh I'll catch them the next time? No, no you won't, go on and make plans to attend. Two hours wasn't even long enough for my visit. I wanted to stay but... I wanted to try another brewery and I still had the back to the city drive to make so I cut myself off. Besides by the time I left the place was pretty busy so. For nine beers on tap; I tasted my way through six of them. All lower ABV's, thanks for that! My flight was 1 Pa's Vanilla Bean Porter, 5 Krushin Chovy's Hazy, 6 Norway IPA, & 7 Strawberry Cream Ale. I asked for a taste of the Dusseldorf Alt as that's a style I tend to like & Mike said he didn't like t. We were in agreement that the initial taste was... but the back end hit better. Then I had the pint of 8 Cerveza w Lime. Mike talked about Hannah's Honey & showed me the honey bottles they had for sale. You may have to take gravel roads to get to Half Pint but off the beaten track is well worth the drive....for the delicious beers, the fantabulous hospitality and the townfolk comradery!! Thanks and cheers Half Pint & Mike for making my inaugural stop so fun and memorable!
