Almost Ready: The Round House Cafe

by Jon Katz
The Round House Cafe

The new Round House Cafe is especially beautiful, Scott Carrino and his workers cleaned and shined up the beautiful old wooden floor this week, they are beginning to fill the beautiful old shelves with coffee and aprons and other neat stuff. Scott, who is exhausted,  expects to have a “soft” opening – coffee and muffins and pastries and cookies – sometime in the next week or so.

Moving into the old general store on the ground floor of Hubbard Hall has been complex and time-consuming. Expensive, too. But they are getting near the end. This space is beautiful and atmospheric, a destination all of its own, on top of the food and soups and wondrous desserts.

I worry a bit about Scott, he is just so tired all the time, but he is also living his dream – a community cafe right in the middle of Main Street. He and Lisa have fought long and hard for it, many of you have helped. Life is about dreams and dreamers, I think. Scott will take his dream all the way, and quite soon.
