    I have lived in Manchester for a very long time, yet this is my first time visiting The Firestone…read more I don't know what took me so long to try this place. It's a painting, an arts and craft, a bakery, and a coffee shop. Great place for friends to get together and spend quality time, with great refreshment. They make their own bread, Cheddar scallion scones, chocolate chip cookies, sandwiches, and many other items. My favorites are the different coffees and teas. The staff is very pleasant and helpful, both with the food service and the arts. What a gem to have on Main Street.

    Tried again, much better coffee…read more This place had a very awesome breakfast sandwich, and wanted to try them again. Opted for the blueberry pancake cold brew, along with a piece of banana bread and an egg sandwich with turkey. Food was delivered outside, and I took my pics. The breakfast sandwich is delightful. Everything is seasoned, punchy, and plentiful. The bread was grilled on a panini griddle, but didn't toast. So there wasn't a lot of contrast in textures. But the egg was fluffy, had a cheese skirt, garlic aoli is strong, and the bread is baked fresh. The cold brew was strong, but the cold foam on top mellowed the coffee out and gave it a nice blueberry and yeasty sip. Very similar to a blueberry pancake which the drink is named for. Good but leaned heavy on the cold foam. Banana bread was a bit gummy. Too much banana and not enough flour nor sugar. Not bad, but the weakest bite of them all. Price was high, at about 24 for the 3 items. The quality is worth the price point, and it's a great but somewhat limited breakfast spot for the area. If you want an avocado toast, breakfast sandwich with actual flavor, and wicked strong coffee, then this place does it well. Baked goods can be a bit random in quality, but the savory fare is great

    I think I've discovered the inner-artist in me. Attended my first ever paint night with a small…read moregroup and absolutely loved the entire experience! Studio is warm and inviting. There are a few small classrooms which are decorated with artwork...very motivating! It's BYOB and you can also bring food items (apps/snacks) to enjoy while creating your masterpiece. The instructor was great, very helpful and clearly explained each step of the process. I was frustrated at the beginning, having not painted since middle school, but began to develop confidence as my painting was near finished. I was also able to go back and touch up some areas that I thought needed it. A great way to spend an evening with friends. I definitely plan to return. They constantly offer promos and discounts (on their website and via groupon/living social), which I plan to keep an eye on, for my next visit.

    Chloe was a supberb teacher! I haven't painted a painting since highschool and she made my friend…read moreBruce and I very comfortable and welcome. She encouraged us 100 percent and we had so much fun taking her class! She was very patient and answered all our questions the whole time. Bruce had a little difficulty with the website, there was ALOT of repeat questions that where ultimately irrelevant (just fyi )but we finally managed to figure it out, but fair warning the website/ online sign up is a head ache but overall the class was worth it! Thank you Chloe for making our night!!!
