Our Story
A candy store, a soda fountain, and the town's first telephone switchboard.

Built in 1897, the building at 44 Bridge Street has long been central to Frenchtown. By 1902 it was thriving as a candy and tobacco store and soda fountain; ten years later, the town's first telephone switchboard was installed inside.

The place has changed hands many times over the years. Today it's a cafe run like family, where a good breakfast and a warm welcome never go out of style.
