Our Story

Picture

All are welcome at Johnny's!


​Built in the 1930s, Johnny’s functioned first as a grocery store and then a bait & tackle shop. Next, it was transformed into a community center with an emphasis on art and chickens, and today it is an iconic coffee shop and country store specializing in local products, dairy and baked items, delicious gluten free goodies, with a nice selection of beer and wine and really great coffee and espresso drinks.  

Johnny's feels different from other coffee shops - it just does.  There are comfy chairs in the "nook", rugs, lamps, cozy furniture, a guitar in the corner for you to pick up and play. People come to Johnny's because they can get a great cup of coffee or a latte, a delicious bite to eat, and because they know that at Johnny's they can feel like part of a community. 

The folks who work at Johnny's have stories to tell and want to hear your story.  So pull up a chair at the counter for a lively chat, curl up into a cozy chair in our nook, sit at your own "desk" to get some work done (free wifi!), sit outside under an umbrella and have a picnic or just grab a quick coffee and egg and cheese biscuit to go.  

We also host music events and shows and a variety of activities for all ages. Come join us for one of our many upcoming events, which are listed on our calendar.
