Good morning, everyone!

Barbara’s is updating our winter hours for the months of February-April. We will officially be CLOSED on Sundays as of today. To our Sunday regulars, we appreciate you with all our hearts; donning winter boots and trudging through the sleet and salt to see us — we hope you can join us throughout the week.

Will and I are eternally grateful for your support. Our first winter season here in Poughkeepsie has proved its challenges, with treacherous snow storms to road closures to building maintenence. We wouldn’t and couldn’t be here serving your favorite goodies without you all!

Lots of love and see you soon,
Barbara’s 💌
