What's happening at the café

We’re not just about yummy coffee drinks and delicious fresh food, the Concerts on the Courtyard’s playlist is pretty awesome too. Live jazz, big band, bluegrass, folk, rockabilly, classic rock and more can be heard throughout the year. Join us Friday and Saturday evenings, and Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

By the way, concerts are BYOB. Stop at The Wine Bin at the top of Main Street to pick up your favorite libation before concert time.

Join us weekly for a true showcase of free local music on the Courtyard at Tonge Row!
