We are a small Veteran owned cafe located in Barneveld, NY. Tim, like many good Italian boys, began his love for cooking in his mother’s kitchen. In high school, he worked at many favorite local restaurants and attended BOCES for culinary. He joined the Navy and began his career as a Mess Specialist on a Navy Submarine.
After retiring, Tim found his way back home to CNY and decided to make his long-time dream of opening a small cafe a reality. Tim cooks alongside his wife Melanie with help from several other family members.
We hope that you feel at home in our little cafe next to neighbors and friends as you enjoy our culinary creations. We love every minute of serving this community. It is truly our pleasure to bring Barneveld and the surrounding areas a bit of good food and fellowship–with a dash of that ice-breaking, sarcastic Italian humor that brings a smile to your face and puts you at ease!
Let’s get to know a little about each other and share our stories together over a meal and coffee. Our kitchen is open for a reason…to break down the traditional barriers between the staff and customers so that you feel like you are a part of our family here. Let’s lift our cups and break bread together!
