The Village Hearth in Jamestown is back from their winter break and better than ever. (Psst…A lot of local businesses take a few weeks or the entire month of January off.)

Now, I relish any opportunity to sit in the little garden at their entrance during the late spring and summer, but will stop there in the colder months too — because they are friendly (with my work and life experience as a Nordstrom manage, for 13+ years, I can’t help but track which eateries and coffeehouses greet me within 60 to 90 seconds), their interior is completely lovely, and most importantly, their food and drink are sensational.

The locals go wild over their Pizza Fridays (believe me, if I lived closer, I’d be at the front of that weekly pie line), sandwiches and super fresh breads, cookies (classics like chocolate chip and specialty ones including their signature “Smiley Face” sugar cookie with Nutella filling which not surprisingly is quite popular on IG), and coffee drinks.

We were there this past weekend and the egg and avocado on a biscuit BREAKFAST sandwiches were outstanding. (Another plus? You can order their brekkie sandwiches all day, there’s no cut off.)

I mean, I live to eat biscuits and theirs were some of THE BEST I’ve ever tried.

Think a subtle crispiness, soft and light yet somehow still filling, without the end result being that overstuffed and uncomfortable feeling (what I’ve taken to calling eater’s remorse).

You’ll def want to bookmark them for your NEXT daycation in Jamestown. (Can I just mention here how many people were hiking Beavertail this past weekend? Boy, was I surprised!)

For more details, including their menu and hours of operation (full disclosure, they are closed on Mondays), check out their site and INSTA.
