Millerton - Quiet, Quaint, but Not Boring

Irving Farm Cafe and Harney & Sons Teas Cafe.

In the village of Millerton we are fortunate to have several, very good, restaurants. We have enjoyed dinner at Taro's Pizza, Number 9, Salsa Fresca and The Big Grill - all very good dinner spots (more about them in a separate blog posting). The recently re-opened "Oakhurst" diner is, well, needs a little more time to iron out some of the bugs so to speak.

That said, there are 2 spots that are "must visits" if you're in Millerton for breakfast or lunch.

My first favorite is Irving Farm. http://www.irvingfarm.com/. Almost every weekend we pay a visit to Irving Farm for breakfast of lunch and we generally have a group. Everyone who has tried it has loved it, from it's panini sandwiches, to it's $3 breakfasts, to it's sumptuous desserts or just a nice cup of coffee - everything here is terrific.

Our second favorite is Harney & Sons Teas (Cafe, Tea Bar and Gift Shop). Harney & Sons has a great sandwich menu, all named after common names like "the Peter". The cafe is very small but there never seems to be too long of a wait. The Tea Tasting Bar is terrific, supplied with helpful and knowledgeable staff to help you find the perfect tea (two free tastings) and a large variety of amazing teas. The Hot Cinnamon Green Tea is my personal favorite with just a hint of sweetness (But no sweetener, per se, is added. How'd they do that?). The gift shop is adorable and a great place to pick up something special for a friend (or yourself) or anyone who enjoys tea. http://www.harney.com/

  1. I'm Originally from New York, And Would Stay With Family In Millerton, And I Remember Walking Up To Terni's In The mornings And buying chocolate bars for a dollar. I'm very homesick and I came across this article. Thank You So Much For Posting This. :]
