I had some work to do in Merrickville and decided to stop somewhere for lunch. The town is quite…read moresmall, where downtown is pretty much one street. I found the Village Bean Coffee place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. I opted for the soup and sandwich combo. Now, I usually don't eat bacon, but I don't know what came over me that day. I ordered the BLT and their soup of the day, which was corn chowder (full of bacon bits). The portion of both the sandwich and the soup were very generous. The combo with a san pellegrino can was about 13$, which is pretty decent. The soup was pretty good and so was the sandwich. The shop has cute local art on display on the walls and local papers on the tables to read while you're eating. Overall, it's a small town restaurant that is convenient and pretty quick service. If you're in town, you should stop by this place for a nice small town feel.

Enjoyed the coffee and the sandwich. Very home-like feeling. Atmospheric during the summer time…read morewith the patio. Small coffee shop menu that's a good place for breakfast or a snack if you're wanting food. Cheaper than Starbucks but more expensive than Timmies. A good place overall.

What a lovely treat. Staff were friendly. There were 4 different vegan options for gelato. I had…read morevegan chocolate and kiwi (two separate flavors). My husband tried the cherry and the blood orange. My nephew had the salted caramel (non vegan) and thought it was a bit salty. My mom had the chocolate truffle (also non-vegan) which had chunks of truffle in it. She loved it. They have all sorts of coffees and pastries and sandwiches as well as some dry goods like pasta and other things. A great little place. Can't say that it is the best gelato I've ever had, but we'll worth the visit. Servings were quite generous too. My cup of gelato overfloweth.

We didn't have a reservation and had to wait for 30 minutes for a table but wasn't too fussed since there's plenty of places to walk around to explore the town. We were sat outside in the patio, and got to see the wood fire ovens in action! The staff were very friendly and attentive. We were probably the last table sat for the night and they still made time to serve us! We shared a pizza and a salad -- both were delicious! Would love to try other pizzas next time I'm in town. The only downside was all the bugs and mosquitos that kept bothering us but I guess that is to be expected for the summer. The staff did give us bug spray to ward of all the mosquitos but it was still quite annoying. Definitely check this place out if you're in town!

Ingredients from the garden are used on their pizzas when available and they use lots of local ingrediants and suppliers. Creme Brule is also a specialty here. Note: only open seasonally, approx. May 15 to Oct. 15.

The mystic river pizza crust was soggy and couldn't hold up all the toppings. The calzone was huge but didn't like their tomato sauce to dip it in, and also could not taste the ricotta cheese.

The menu is small but very well done with great salads, soup and sandwiches all using local, fresh ingredients .i had the spinach, arugula salad with pecans, apples and sweet potato. I got the half size and it was plenty. I also ordered the chicken pesto sandwich which was delicious but took half home wort me as the salad and sandwich was too much. My husband had the kale and beet salad and a sandwich. He said both were delicious. They also had local Kombucha from Ottawa. Very good. We will definitely come back and am hoping they will extend their hours as they grow. I also liked the atmosphere. It is very comfortable and small enough that you are able to have a conversation and hear each other. There was a table of moms with their babies and it was nice to see everyone enjoying good food!

The cafe is adorable with a lovely fireplace but even better is the healthy, unique menu which includes smoothies, juices, desserts, and entrees.

Hope we can time a stop here on our travels back through the area.
