Hardware Cafe & General Store, Fair Haven, NY

-

 

 this is the type of store I really like. It was an old hardware store turned into a boutique and coffee shop.  Unfortunately the service was terrible. I really was just looking for a place to find a cup of coffee and found this little gem. 

 Cute items. Poor service. I saw 2 counter employees. I waited at the counter. They both had other tasks, but no "good morning" no "be right with you".  I waited. Finally he waited on me. He was pleasant but seemed confused.

   I am very happy to see this place given a new life.  I suspect by the aging gas pumps it was once a general store.  But I could be wrong as it has been a restaurant for as long as I can remember. The ice cream stand is a welcome addition.    They have a good assortment of delicious Gifford Ice Cream.  We have supported the restaurant through the years and it's various iterations.  We plan to go back and try the real food.  It's just hard to drive by and not grab a quick cone.

   We were close to Potsdam so we decided to swing by the Bagelery and pick up some bagels to go.  I didn't realize it had new owners.  It wasn't bad, just different.  Fancier and more formal. I'd probably still  stop if I was going by, but wouldn't drive out of the way.
