The Edge Coffeehouse is the perfect antidote to the soulless cafe chains filling up towns and cities. Instead of typical decor and a standardized menu, The Edge Coffeehouse offers a quaint atmosphere. The charming, converted old house is filled with mismatched tables and chairs, some of which spill out onto the porch and lawn – ideal for relaxing on sunny days. Tea and coffee are served in porcelain cups and saucers, and can be accompanied by a range of homemade cakes, hearty soups or sandwiches. The cafe has a thriving sense of community spirit, hosting business meetings, college student’s study sessions and young children’s board game parties. This makes it a cozy, welcoming spot for a slice of cake and local culture.
