Peggy’s Sweet and Savory was a bakery cafe that started as Back in the Kitchen in 2010.  Peggy cooked and everyone seemed to call it Peggy’s so the name was changed in 2021, especially since she wanted to further explore the sweeter side of cooking. There were about 13 seats in this small ground-floor cafe. The bathroom was on the second floor, which was otherwise unoccupied.   The third floor houses a local artist.  In the restaurant, the kitchen radio provided the background music and the menu was on a chalkboard.  You order and pay at the counter and they bring it out to you.  Most of the business seemed to be to go. Windows provided plenty of light and the walls were filled with photos of local townspeople and Peggy’s family photos.  An old wood floor and other decorations gave it a wonderfully cozy feel. The servers were friendly and helpful.  The food was simple and well-made.  Stop in when you’re in the area, you won’t be disappointed.

Food

We tried the breakfast sandwich which contained bacon (or sausage), 2 fried eggs and cheddar cheese on a seeded roll.   The eggs were cooked firm so the yolks don’t squirt out and the bacon was cooked crisp. The fresh soft bun was covered with sesame seeds and tender with a lightly toasted inside.  It was a good balance and distribution of ingredients.  A tasty way to start the day.

 

The scones were house made and something they’re known for.  I tried a blueberry one.   It had a lovely crisp exterior with a rich interior topped with course sugar crystals.  The berries were sweet and plentiful.  I loved it!
