Food scene

Mertyle&Cypress is a wonderful, locally owned and operated coffee shop with special seasonal drinks, Ted and Wally's ice-cream (locally made), and other delicious treats! We have frequently walked here from our Blackstone Cottage with our children for weekend coffee and ice cream. It is near to Gifford park were the kids can play to burn off the sugar.

Maybe your crew at the Cottage doesn’t have kids. Or maybe grandma and grandpa are also at the cottage to babysit, and you can get a date night. My wife and I love this intimate setting for dates with tasty specials and wonderful olive appetizers! Just don’t bring the kids. There’s lots of things to break.
