While hanging out in Berkeley Springs for the day, I stopped into the Cottage Cafe for a quick lunch. This small coffee house features locally roasted coffee, loose leaf tea, a Hershey's Ice Cream, Trickling Springs Creamery bar, bakery and lunch options.

I ordered a chicken salad croissant to start off with. Chicken salad isn't usually my first go-to, but it sounded good for something tasty and filling, but not too heavy. It arrived on a freshly baked croissant (super tasty!) and a side of chips. The chicken salad itself wasn't bad - I think it could've benefitted from some fresh celery bits to break up the texture. The croissant was buttery and tasty.



After the owner and another worker sang the praises of Trickling Springs Creamery, I had to order a scoop. Or two. I tried the salted caramel and the cookies and cream. The salted caramel was a sweet buttery flavor, but the cookies and cream was really, really good. Super creamy with nice tasty bits of chocolate cookies. So tasty.

This little specialty coffee shop is a lovely place to relax, get a quick bite to eat and hang out a bit.
