Penelope’s Cafe Books & Gallery is more than just a cozy retreat for book lovers—it’s a hidden gem for food enthusiasts. Their morning menu is a delightful mix of freshly baked treats, perfect for pairing with a steaming cup of coffee. The buttery croissants and flaky chocolate croissants melt in your mouth, while the scones, muffins, and bagels offer just the right balance of sweetness and texture. If you’re after something classic, the English muffins never disappoint.
No visit is complete without one of Edith’s famous lattes. Whether you prefer a rich espresso, a frothy cappuccino, a velvety mocha frappuccino, or a comforting latte, each sip is a testament to the cafe’s dedication to quality coffee.
For a fresh and vibrant option, the salads are where Penelope’s Cafe shines. The Caesar salad is a timeless favorite, while Mr. Spank’s Greek Salad bursts with Mediterranean flavors. Miss Darci’s Spinach Salad and Pamela’s Caprese Salad bring a refreshing lightness, and Doc’s Chef Salad is a hearty, satisfying option for a well-rounded meal.
Sandwich lovers will find it hard to choose just one. The Dalton’s Club Sandwich is a classic, stacked with fresh ingredients, while the vegetarian sandwich showcases Penelope’s commitment to wholesome, plant-based goodness. Meat lovers can opt for Russell’s Roast Beef Sandwich or Jordan’s Tuna Salad Sandwich, both offering bold, satisfying flavors. The Lorenzo’s Caprese Sandwich, with its fresh mozzarella and tomatoes, is a must-try for those craving something simple yet flavorful.
For those who love variety, Penelope’s Triple Combo lets you mix and match for the best of all worlds. And of course, no meal is complete without a sweet ending—freshly baked cookies provide the perfect treat.
Pair your meal with a refreshing soda, juice, or sparkling water, or unwind with a cold beer. At Penelope’s, every bite tells a story, and every sip invites you to stay just a little longer.
