almonte - so historic

After the Herb Fest (see post here), Almonte was only a 10 minute drive away. So we decided to spend a couple hours and check out this tiny little town. It is so cute and simple! A quaint little one street downtown with a few block stretch of window shopping, tiny cafes, and restos all surrounded by beautiful historic mills. It's perfect for an afternoon gateway!

It was such a hot day, and we stopped for a homemade cheddar red pepper scone and some delicious ice tea at Palms Coffee Shop. The staff were super nice and it was a cozy little coffee shop. I highly recommend their ice tea, it was freshly brewed and just sweet enough!

The Heirloom Cafe Bistro's menu looks fresh and local. We were in town too early for dinner, but we will be back to try their menu!

This tea room was so cute. Too bad it is closed on Sunday. Like I said, Almonte is tiny! :)
