I went out for a bit this morning, stopping at the
Red Barn Coffee Roasters in Westborough, a cafe with a nice lounge area and books,
getting a Hot Chocolate, which was pretty good.
Can see why they have several locations.
Next, I went to
The Bistro, a bakery which also serves breakfast nearby. This place does a lot of custom cakes as well. I got the Lord Have Mercy Bar (white chocolate, semi sweet chocolate and butterscotch chips topped with pretzels and caramel),
Not bad, but pretty sinful.
Across, the road,
Yummy Mummy Bakery, a much smaller bakery with much less stuff on display. I got a Caramel Latte Cupcake, which was way too sweet in my opinion.
Later, on our way to the
Yankee Candle Village in Deerfield, we decided to go on a short hike to see the
Roaring Falls in Sunderland, located within the
Mount Toby State Forest. The path we took here to get to the waterfall from around 453 High Plains Road in Leverett is shown below in pink.
Thankfully, due to the rain yesterday, the waterfall was really living up to its name,
and there was fog over the railroad. Thankfully no trains coming out of the fog though.
From here, we headed to the Yankee Candle Village. I was expecting the Christmas decor to be outdoors,
but it turns out the real nice decor is inside the store itself,
with a castle
and a Bavarian village inside.
Dinner was at
Goten, a Japanese restaurant in Sunderland.
We got a side of Milk Tofu,
which looked just agadashi tofu, but the texture was really soft. Delicious stuff.
The Miso Glazed Scallops (pan seared scallops with shiro miso sauce, shredded scallions, soy vinaigrette)
had really good sauce, but there were only 3 pieces on the plate, for $9? So not worth it.
The bacon for the Hill of Fire Roll (Bacon, shrimp tempura, cucumber, crabstick, tobiko) was a little hard,
and there was nothing really special about the Tobiko Spaghetti with shrimp (clam sauce, sauteed white shrimp, tobiko and shiso),
which came with soup
and salad as well.
Overall, an okay meal, but not worth the price.
