Right off of Route 2, this bake shop/gift shop/ice cream store is cute outside and inside. I don't…read morethink you can find a place in the state that sells this amount of homemade Scandinavian baked goods. The Finnish coffee bread had good flavor, though a tad dry. The Scandinavian almond cupcake is a bit sweet for me but has a strong almond flavor. You can find a variety of local food , Scandinavian, and other gifts at the store too. It's a nice place to get a gift on the way to visiting someone. They have dairy products and other perishables as well. There's some outdoor seating at the store and the abundance of flowers outside was a nice touch. I guess, hence, the Kitchen Garden... Service was friendly and helpful. I wished they had some limpa or Finnish rye, but I came pretty late in the day. Maybe I'll try the ice cream sometime, though it's from Bliss over in Attleboro, which is closer to Boston. This general store is a nice stop along Route 2.

We ordered BBQ Chicken Flatbread, Mushroom Quiche, Chicken Pot Pie and every meal comes with a salad. The Flatbread crust is crispy, chicken is tender with the right proportion of BBQ sauce. The quiche was fresh, somewhat cheesy and my favorite thing there. The Chicken Pot Pie is one of the best I've had in a while. It's creamy, crust is flaky and good mix of chicken with veggies. The staff are so kind, friendly and hard workers. I'm not sure why this place doesn't ever seem to be packed, but they absolutely should be. Do yourself a favor and try any of their meals, it is sooooo worth it. The restaurant is rather small, but enough to seat 40 people or so (+/- 10). I also worked here briefly and it could be a good temporary remote working spot. -ODL Connect with me! IG & YouTube: @AOEAT

We had a mixed experience here, as seems to be the trend lately…read more Our group of 9 arrived about 11:15.  Our group was a little bigger than we'd expected and we didn't call ahead.  No one greeted or acknowledged us as they were cleaning two recently vacated tables. There were 3 or 4 people seated at the bar area to the right of the door. We finally inquired about seating, and worked a seating arrangement so we had one table of 5, one table of 4. The server made a big show of showing us the menu and naming the items in the pastry case.  Then she took drink orders.  The lattes took a very long time to arrive.  Eventually, we were able to give our food order. After waiting some time after all our meals were finished, we flagged someone down and asked for our check.  We were told our server was working on it. A few more minutes passed, she eventually emerged from the back and asked if we wanted to cash out.  We immediately said yes. Instead of giving us the check, she began clearing the tables.  When we finally got the bill, it was one summary bill, not itemized.    She eventually offered a view of an itemized receipt on her little handheld device while saying, "The 25% tip is XX."  I was flabbergasted. Things overall could have been easier if she'd done one check for each table.  I have no idea why she combined both tables into one larger check.  Our party didn't help by mixing card and cash payments. Two tables were seated, ordered, ate and vacated as we were getting and finishing our food. This is not acceptable. The food was good, the atmosphere is cute, the parking lot was decently sized and there is some street parking available as well.

Its very relaxed and family friendly atmosphere probably is busier on the weekends but I found it to be fairly bustling on a Thursday morning in early spring.Kids' books and toys on the far end of the place and a cheery sunny sun drenched side with windows and plants to show the farm out back. Cool place to meet a friend or chill out for a few. Iced coffee was just ok but the bagels are dense, crispy on the outside and more bread like but insanely fresh! I grabbed a half dozen and an iced coffee and $19.50 total was a bit steep but I'd return for the bagels alone and absolutely try a sandwich.

On our last visit, I watched as 4 employees from the pizza company park in the handicap spots. (No handicap placard) and there was PLENTY of open spots just past the handicap spots. I pleasantly spoke with the young workers to explain that some people need those spots- the response? "Well, we are working". Noted. I did send an email to Red Apple a few weeks ago, but no response While living with someone who relies on the handicap spots, I now understand using these spots give people a way to go out and live life. It's truly disheartening to see the lack of empathy
