How it all began....

Is there anything more pleasant than spending a weekend morning walking around a small town with a good cup of coffee and fresh baked something? The idea for this blog came about because we love to do just that. On a recent Saturday morning, we happened to be in Millbrook, NY for the local Farmers Market. Walking through town we came upon a small coffee shop with great coffee and pastries. We enjoyed it so much that we returned to Millbrook a few weeks later to begin a weekend ritual. Over another great cup of coffee, the idea for Sidewalk Coffee was born. So we have decided to make it our quest to visit small towns and sample the local coffee and pastries. Our criteria is simple, the town must have sidewalks and a local coffee shop or bakery (no chains!) We hope you enjoy our commentary and the additional weight will we gain for the benefit of the blog.
