Trek number one was to Andover. Thank goodness the first town was close, otherwise who knows when we would have gotten the motivation to start this journey. As we were driving the 23 minutes to get to our destination, Bob and I were both guessing if we knew where this cafe was, and sure enough, we pinned it for a little "strip mall" for lack of a better term. All three restaurants in Andover are in this strip mall. Pizza, Chinese and Hop River Cafe & Bakery.
As we walked into the cafe, we were a bit confused if we were supposed to order at the counter or sit and be waited on. We were offered to sit down and be waited on and also they let us know where the high chairs were for Anna if we needed one (yes we did). As you can see to the right, there is a wide variety of coffees to choose from to match your breakfast to stay or take it with legs (to go).
The menu featured many yummy breakfast items and a perfect assortment of lunch choices. I ordered the Tuna Bagel Melt on a wheat bagel and Bob ordered the WRAPTASTIC Steak and Potato. Both were wonderful! But alas, I almost forgot the beet soup Bob started with. Wonderfully smooth and seasoned with salt. While we were waiting, we conversed with who we suspect were the husband and wife owners. Very friendly! You can tell that customers who go there go there often, as the owners were well versed in the ongoings of some other customers current affiars.
Anna enjoyed the visit to Hop River Cafe & Bakery as well. She had a taste of the beet soup and part of my pickle that came with my sandwich. Hop River Cafe & Bakery can be found on Facebook.
We give this Andover local restaurant a 2 thumbs up and would definitely return back... after we finish the rest of CT's town tastings.
