Our summertime craving is our Mango + Avocado + Crab Cakes Salad! 🥭🥗

Packed with vibrant flavors, this dish features perfectly crispy crab cakes nestled atop a bed of fresh greens, sweet mango, creamy avocado, edamame, juicy tomatoes, and scallions. Finished with a drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette, a dollop of crème fraîche, and served with a side of warm cornbread, it’s the perfect balance of indulgence and freshness.

Stop by and enjoy a meal that’s as beautiful as it is delicious 💚

How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You✨

There is something so special about leaving with a bakery box in hand and a little extra time together 💚

Whether it is dessert for later, treats for the family, or simply continuing the conversation beyond the table, we love seeing mothers and daughters make The Cottage part of their traditions.

What a beautiful Mother’s Day weekend at The Cottage Cafe, Bakery & Tea Room 💐

Thank you to everyone who chose to celebrate with us during our special Mother’s Day Brunch. From sweet moments shared over tea and pastries to generations gathered around the table, it was such a joy to be a part of your celebrations. 💚

This weekend also gave us the chance to celebrate our own Leslie as the heart behind The Cottage and as an incredible mom. Her love, care, and dedication pour into everything we do here, and we are so grateful for all that she is to her family, our team, and this community.

To all of the moms, grandmothers, mother figures, and nurturers, thank you. We loved celebrating you. ✨
