    Really cute little breakfast and sandwich shop. Loved the various gift items, lots of fresh pastries and lovely staff. Stop by and check it out.

    My favorite place (and I think the only place in Clinton) to enjoy Wifi and a good sandwich! Their iced coffee is really tasty as well.

    Had coffee this morning at Ben Franklin's. It is a nice atmosphere and Nikita was friendly. It has a lot of local charm.

    Food was very good! Espresso drinks were not good, very watery and not much coffee flavor. Very cute place! Nice decor.

There was ample indoor seating, but the patio won out. Our servers were very friendly, but at times absent a little too long. Perhaps. As it is a rest stop on the trail and people linger around resting. We had a good time visiting and hanging out. The menu was hard to pick from, so many great choices, breakfast all daylong. I ordered the pulled pork and pickle sand which with fries. It t was good and the fries were crisp and fresh. My son had the patty melt and he said it was good. He particularly liked the spread that came on the side. I don't think it made it to his sandwich, he ate it with his fries. I had a drip coffee and he had a latte. Good, but $4 for a drip coffee and he seems a little over priced. His latte was $6+, also good but over priced. I like this little trial side cafe. Maybe stick with water. Oh, they also have wine available. I'd go back if I'm in the area.

Reservations are available here - not necessary but depending on the day/time, you may need to wait a bit before being seated if you don't. The restaurant is rustic with farmhouse-style (hence the name!) seating. There is plenty of natural light from their street-facing windows, and if the weather's right, they have a lovely side patio. The food portions are generous and definitely shareable if your table has a few things they'd like to try! Pictured here is the Chicken n Shortstack with a chili-maple reduction and the lemon-lime marinated watermelon. The restaurant features locally-sourced ingredients and highlights them on blackboards through the restaurant. Because of this, their menu can sometimes shift and change!

Will definitely be returning!
