The Spirited Goat Coffee House has closed. It did not survive the 2020 Covid restrictions.
This place harked back to the coffee houses of Greenwich Village and Haight-Ashbury days; with it's mismatched furnishings, decorated walls and ceilings, chess boards, newspaper racks and 'different' looking young and old clientele who could nurse one cup of coffee for hours on a cold day!
I would sit in the sun on very cold days in front of the Goat with a cup of their coffee.
Today, my daughter and I had breakfast at one of the village's two surviving coffee houses. The UnderDog Cafe', survives as the "living room" for the village, selling 100's of wines and beers, breakfast, lunches - with wine tastings and bands in the evenings.
Come, get a coffee or some of their baked goods and spend as long as you care.
Lap-top 30-somethings, elderly, tourists, etc. --- everyone but teenagers like to frequent the place.
The décor is VanGogh yellow walls and cloud-painted ceilings. Serve-yourself coffee thermoses offer mild to heart-stopping brews. There is a guitar on the wall and a piano in the corner ---- if you feel inclined.
We had breakfast burritos.
A very young couple stepped out of this Aston Martin to go in...
Saw a new Bugatti last week....
Crazy 'destination' village.
