Greetings Bleaders (Blog Readers), I know it has been quite a few weeks since our last post but have no fear we are back! We thought that we would give Fishkill a try today only to find out that the two coffee shops are closed on Sunday so it was back to Beacon. Now on a side note, a true confession, yesterday we returned to Homespun Foods for a delicious Brunch and ate outside in the garden. Another great meal.
So after being shut out from Fishkill, we went to Zuzus Leaf and Bean in Beacon. As we were walking into the shop, we met one of the cooks from Homespun Foods. She advised us that Zuzus was serious about coffee but for food, Homespun can’t be beat. We continued in to small coffee shop with a scattering of tables, couches and counters. Today we ordered three coffees, two scones (Berry and Ham & Cheese), a yogurt parfait and bagel with cream cheese. The Berry Scone was filled with whole pieces of real fruit. The Ham & Cheese Scone was savory and delicious and the bagel was a bagel. The parfait was also delicious and included a variety of fruit and granola. The coffee was very strong but tasty.
Now, let’s talk a little bit about the atmosphere. This is a family friendly place with a separate section for kids filled with toys. There were many customers enjoying the free WiFi. The bathroom was large and the visitor was treated to poetry and other quotes painted on the wall.
Without a doubt, Zuzus fit our criteria for this blog. However, lately we have been spoiled by places that have more of a variety of foods. Although we enjoyed our trip to Zuzus, we did stop at Homespun Foods down the block for some coffee cake and cookies. This made us rethink the rating we gave Homespun. Since we have been there three times now, twice this weekend, we are upgrading the rating to our first four-cupper. It doesn’t get any better than this!
So, if you just want a quick cup of coffee and to check your e-mail, Zuzus is the place!

Now that Jessie will be living nearby we'll be meeting every Saturday at Homespun! When it gets cold we'll have to switch to a soup blog.
