The Vanilla Bean Cafe

The Vanilla Bean Café is located in a restored, early 19th century barn in scenic Pomfret, Connecticut. When we opened our philosophy was simple: Create a place where we would feel comfortable and serve food that we would enjoy eating - if we wouldn't eat it, we certainly wouldn't serve it. We opened in the main part of the barn with 16 seats, added a 45 seat patio in 1990 and expanded into another part of the barn that same year. With continued growth we now have seating inside for 90. With a kitchen expansion in 1995 we expanded our menu and now offer full lunch, dinner and weekend breakfast menu. Check out out specials menu for new and seasonal items. We have been hosting live entertainment since our opening and have shows every Saturday night ranging from Folk, Blues & Bluegrass to Jazz.
