Need a Good morning wake-up call?
We do coffee, espresso and breakfast. We brew a wide variety of coffees ready to go and custom make espresso just the way you like it.

The Gristmill Bakery and Deli has an extensive lunch menu. It's not just sandwiches! Choose from hot soups, home-made salads, pizzabread, lasagna, quiche or wraps. We also make burgers and serve them up on our very own home-made hamburger buns fresh from the oven.
