Did You Know? (Plum Cove Grind)

That Plum Cove Grind is not actually at Plum Cove, it is in Lanesville Center?  Lanesville, a lovely little village of Gloucester, that if a squirrel or turkey isn’t in the middle of the road to slow you down, you could pass right through and miss.  So if you are driving Washington Street from Gloucester to Rockport, or vice versa and have a hankering for a great cup of organic coffee, awesome fresh made soup or sandwich, or pastries, croissants and bread made on the premises, keep your eyes open and slow down as you enter Lanesville Center and look for 1064 Washington Street and the Plum Cove Grind awnings. 

Plum Cove Grind features Erik Sigrid’s (you know Erik, Gloucester born now living in VT, son of Sigrid Olson, artist of Rocky Neck Art Colony), microroasted fair trade, shade grown, Rainforest Alliance, organic Barista Beans.  And if you’re getting married, or know someone who is, owner Meredith Glaser creates the most gorgeous wedding cakes – really you wouldn’t want to cut into one they are such beautiful works of art.  Check out her cake portfolio here http://www.mgweddingcakes.com/cake1.php.

As I am typing this, I am eating an amazing chocolate chip cookie (tastes like shortbread with chocolate chips) from Plum Cove Grind – and believe me, it is difficult to type and eat a cookie at the same time, and not get crumbs all over the keyboard, but I can’t stop.  In addition to all the great food and beverage offerings at Plum Cove Grind, they also now carry Did You Know? the book, so you can pick one up to read while you’re enjoying your coffee and treat.

Meredith is also a new subscriber to Good Morning Gloucester.
