Fog and quiet Winter Harbor

Fog again this morning but it stands little chance against the rising sun and is burning off as I write.

Winter Harbor has become quiet of late -- mornings at the cafe see hardly a soul, at least for the first hour or two, when we used to have folks standing outside the door waiting until we opened. Now the big rush is maybe a three-hour window from noon to three in the afternoon, for lunch.

Pastries still sell briskly, though. In fact just the other day Susan just got an order for twelve (12) blueberry pies to be picked up today, Friday! (photo: group shenanigans at Schoodic Point.)

Rosemary is starting to wind down the deli items in preparation for the post-Labor Day slowdown so there will be less food to go. But the cafe will continue to produce homemade baked goods after Susie leaves, since Rosemary will take up the job of baking after Labor Day. (She was trained as a pastry chef.) So breakfasts will still be a major focus of the cafe to be sure. And of course where else would you go for a great cup of coffee?!

The plan is that the cafe will be open 8-5 through Columbus Day, providing a breakfast and lunch menu, and presumably some food to go. The wonderful thing is that all this is homemade and made fresh every day! Something that simply cannot be found anywhere else on this side of Frenchman's Bay.
