The cafe is situated in the home of John Hays, a Civil War soldier, founder of Carlisle Gas Works, President of Frog, Switch and Mfg. Company, and lawyer. He purchased the home from his uncle in 1876. Take a look around at the photos and historic background while you're here. The original exterior stone walls found behind the drywall have been exposed, and the outside patio, which was gone, has been rebuilt. I'm delighted to show off a renovated piece of Carlisle's history.

Me and My Kids
On the left, that's my son Tommy. He's the mind behind the glazed donut sandwich and some of my specials. He is AROTC at Virginia Military Institute majoring in International Studies and minoring in Arabic and Military Science. In the middle, that's me, Tara. I'm originally from Port Jefferson Station in Long Island, New York. I retired early from a career in public education to follow my real dream of opening a cafe'. On the right is my daughter Sara. She is the creator of the Boston Cream cream cheese on my menu. Of course, I named it "Sara's Sweetness." She is at the local community college and will be transferring to a four year college to study Cognitive Psychology.
