Dear Friends,
We have some exciting news to share with you… We have
decided, with much encouragement from many of you, to open the Round House
Bakery Café ! We are very excited to re-open the beloved village coffee house
in the former Bean Heads located at 1 Washington Street, next to Hubbard Hall
in Cambridge.
Three years ago we opened the Round House Bakery at
Pompanuck Farm and began selling our baked goods at the Cambridge and Glens
Falls Farmers Markets, the Cambridge Coop, Spice n Nice in Bennington, and
other small retail establishments. With the opening of Round House Bakery Café,
we can now offer our full array of baked goods to you: organic breads,
breakfast pastries, traditional and gluten-free cookies, specialty cakes, and
excellent coffees. Lunch offerings will include savory soups, mouth-watering stews,
abundant salads, and fantastic sandwiches on our wide variety of artisan breads.
Once we open, we will post our weekly menu on our Facebook page and our blog, (www.roundhousebakery.blogspot.com).
Springtime hours will be 7am-3pm on weekdays, (Wed.-Fri.).
and 9am-4pm on weekends. In the summer, we hope to extend our hours as we grow
our business and staff. Look for our opening sometime in March.
We are excited to have access to the building to make
repairs, updates and to get the space spruced up and in shape. Also needed are
several pieces of kitchen equipment, tables, chairs and general repairs.
So, this is where we need your support... Round House Bakery is still
a young business and we do not have all of the upfront funds needed to open as
quickly as we would like. Our hope is that you will be as excited as we are to
have this community resource return, and will invest in and support this venture
by joining our “Round House Bakery Pre-Buy Club” so that we can raise the funds
necessary to open. Here is how it will work:
You can invest in the Round House Bakery Café by pre-buying
our delicious baked goods, fabulous meals and excellent coffee offerings in
increments of 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, and 1000 (or more??) dollars. We will register
your investment in our Club Member file and then each time you come into the
cafe', 10% of your bill will be deducted from your pre-buy amount until your “investment”
is paid back. This pay-back percentage may increase once we are more firmly established.
Of course, anytime you would like to increase or renew your “credit” you may do
so easily.
This is a no-risk investment for you for because we can also
honor your investment through our Bakery at Pompanuck Farm and we know that you
will enjoy the offerings of our Café. In addition, we’ll be offering
members-only specials and events from time to time as a “Thank You!” to our greatly
appreciated investors.
If you have any questions or concerns before deciding to
invest in the Round House Bakery Café please contact Scott and Lisa at roundhousebakery@pompanuck.org
or call us at 518.677.8121. If you already know that you would like to support
this venture, please mail a check made out to Round House Bakery to 494
Chestnut Hill Road Cambridge NY 12816,
or you can drop it at Battenkill
Books 15 East Main St, Cambridge. If you would like to invest using a credit
card, please call us. You will receive confirmation of your investment and your
membership card will be put on file.
Thanks you for your time and consideration. Whether you join
the Pre-Buyers Club or not, we look forward to welcoming you in the Round House
Bakery Café !
With great coffee in one hand and a fabulous scone in the
other,
Cookie and Pop aka Lisa and Scott
