Wonderful local coffee shop and bakery that is now serving pizza and bbq for lunch too! Coffee and espresso drinks are fantastic...be sure to take beans home with you. Breakfast pastries are top-notch...the Butterhorn is a can't miss, and the fruit galettes, cinnamon rolls and bear claws are visitor favorites! Peanut butter cookies are outstanding too!

If you left anything at home, this is the place for you! A wonderful small-town market carrying everything from tent stakes and propane to craft beers and brie. Their deli is fantastic...house-smoked corned beef, pastrami and turkey make great sandwiches and they are often smoking meatloaf, bison or other specialties on the weekend.

If you can time your arrival, definitely take the scenic route and stop by Wild Flour Bread. Incredible artisan bread seemingly in the middle of nowhere? Beautiful gardens on site and delicious and creative breads will make your stay at the river house. For savory, the daily Fougasse never disappoints. For sweet, we love the "Bohemian" - a sticky bread with orange, apricot and pecans. The super seed and other sourdough breads also make great sandwiches. Their scones, particularly those with big chunks of marzipan...mmmmmm!
Only open a few days a week so make sure to check their hours before planning your trip around it.
