Meredith Bay Coffee Shop
 

I drove past the Meredith Bay Coffee Shop today and the sign out front said closed. Say it ain't so!

I believe they are on vacation...at least I hope so. Lovely place.

Vacation????
 

My wife drove by several days ago and said the was a sign saying CLOESD, not Closed for Vacation?

I tried their phone number today and it went to voicemail. It was not We are Closed this week for Vacation. It sounded like a canned man's voice?

I hope it is Vacation Time for them.

My wife informs me she had spoken to the owner who had said she was going to be on vacation for two weeks. I never disagree with my wife.

Yesterday the sign said "Closed, Retired. Thank You".

Sounds like a permanent vacation.

Oops...I better not tell my wife.

Meredith Bay Coffee House
 

If you know the owners, can you check to find out the whether they are coming back from vacation? It is a favorite haunt for us -- wonderful food and friendly staff -- beyond depressing to think it might be gone.

I can't imagine closing a shop such as this during peak season for vacation... the food business is a tough one.

Yes - Meredith Bay has officially Closed... :-(
 

I just spoke to the owners and Meredith Bay Coffee house has officially and permanently closed. The owner was planning on retiring this fall and some stuff with the grandbabies accelerated that schedule. Nothing too serious but grandmothers don't put anything ahead of the grandbabies!!!

Although I will probably lose 10lbs as a result I'm incredibly depressed to see them close. Ellen had some of the best food around.

I wish her all the best in her retirement though - she deserves it!!!!

Rasberry scones!!!!!!
 

Any chance of getting the recipe for Ellen's RASBERRY SCONES? There were the BEST!!!!! :liplick::liplick::liplick::liplick:

Gooey Coffee Cake
 

Funny, I was wondering the same thing except I wanted to get the recipe for her gooey coffee cake that I finally had to special order to be sure to get some! I hope she enjoys retirement!

They should put out a cookbook and sell them.

As a public service. :D

Are they selling the business?

...... gee whiz, where was that place?
 

I have no clue where it, the Meredith Bay Coffee was located? Was it in Center Harbor across Route 25 from Heath's Hardware?

You know talking about coffee, and with Labor Day just a few days away, Heath's Hardware will hopefully be restoring their free coffee set-up at the front of their hardware store. It was excellent coffee in a quality, red & white, True Value cup, plus they also let you have all the nails you can eat .......hee-hee-hee .....that's a joke.....get it....all the nails you can eat!!!! ...... duh ......but their free 'hardware store'
coffee was excellent, high quality coffee....just like everything else in the store ...... highest quality.....lowest price!

Maybe they could start charging 10-cents/cup just to cover their cost, and all their coffee customers would still appreciate it ....... it seems like coffee given away for free is not appreciated as much as coffee costing just 10-cents .... which is still a high value, local service.

Seriously FLL give the free coffee a rest, enough already. Like not even funny anymore.

Really???
 

You would have to know where it is!!!!

After all, it was on the way to Walmart in Gilford!!!!

It may not be on your way to Wal-mart, but tucked away in Moultonboro, NH is the new "Cup and Crumb" where you can satisfy that specialty coffee craving, along with your favorite scones, coffee cake, etc.!

Not that it matters but are you affiliated with the C&C?

I am just noticing this question, so I apologize for my lateness in my reply. To be honest with you, my ONLY affiliation with The Cup and Crumb is the fact that my daughter is the Pastry Chef there. My comments and opinions are not biased; she truly is the best in the Lakes Region and she does not like for me to post about her. Jen is the most humble person you would ever meet! So, to see that my opinions and posts are not biased for yourself, you will just have to stop in there and make your own judgement!

she's not kidding.......
 

Stopped in there last week for a coffee, and had a pear scone fresh out of the oven that was just the best thing I have had in a long time! Just yummy!

:eek: :look: :laugh:

No argument here.... definitely a great Pastry Chef.

I love the C & C !!
