It's a busy place so be prepared to wait. Parking is good and there are tables to sit at.
The ice cream selections are excellent! (The German Chocolate Brownie is to die for!) All of it is made on the premises from their own cows. Bring an appetite as a small waffle come has 3 hearty scoops of ice cream! 5hus is not a place to go after a meal, it's the "snack between meals"..... LOL!

Always a great meal. Service is always good. Menu has something for everyone. Pizza is great. Our favorite server is Jess. She is attentive to your every need. Prices are great and food is fantastic. Limited seating for eating in during peak times. Must make reservations for dining in. Great for take out.

Stumbled in, looking for a bite to eat while antiquing in Seymour Center. Very cute place, sizable 2-store size with many tables. Atmosphere is welcoming and charming with each table having different style vintage seating and, when served, all vintage miss-matched tea cups and China, Awesome. Clean and bright, wait staff friendly. Should call ahead, especially on weekends!
Food was well prepared, simple but interesting choices, not the biggest portions, tea sandwich size. I had the smoked salmon and dill spread with a slice of Pecan Pie for desert. Chose the strawberry/kiwi iced tea for beverage. The salmon was high quality nova lox and was delicious. The pecan pie was awesome! About a slice and a half compared to average size, home made and my favorite creamy style as opposed to the gel style filling. loaded with nuts, unusual crispy pie crust, almost cannoli style. Have to go back, took a slice to go for the wife.
This is a great place for the girls to meet for lunch, baby/wedding showers would be fun. Tracy was personable and attentive and sure to make your visit memorable.
BTW, dozens of unusual tea choices(I'm not a tea person), lunch specials and great desert choices. Tea available by the pound. Don't miss this place when traveling through, it will put a smile on your face.

Dunkin donuts of Oxford is one of the few commercial chains around this area and they have friendly staff and prompt service, I saw inside there a t-shirt saying the slogan above and it makes sense, why spend money for an over priced coffee when Dunkin Donuts is right here.... they have good food as well, along with the many drink options as well.... Coolattas for summer and hot chocolate for winter all the way.

Stopped by for some sweet treats for dessert for the family. Inviting front porch with places to sit and flowers sets the scene for what lies within. When you walk in, the smells of sugar and butter waft through the air. Very nicely renovated old home which was transformed into a bright and light storefront with one side showcasing its beautifully displayed baked goods and coffee & teas while the other side of the space is set with cozy tables around a stone fireplace, complete with a portrait of a stately fox, which is its mascot. Cute little fox decor is peppered throughout. The choices of coffee and teas were extensive and the baked goods well done. Scones, buns, cookies, beautifully decorated cupcakes. Not many choices for a group, more like individual selections, but I did see them decorating a large and lovely cake in the back. I only saw one cake in the case for sale, hence the reason I say it's more of a coffee shop than a bakery. We purchased scones and a loaf of carmaelized onion bread, all were delicious but a little pricey for what they were. I would definitely go back for a lovely place to sit with a good friend or some quiet time for a cup of coffee and scone but not as a bakery for dessert for a special dinner.

We went mid-week. Food is excellent and the portions are huge! My husband could not finish his burger and neither could I and I only ordered the small one while he got the 1 pound one. Lots of french fries and hot. Service was quick and friendly. A typical american diner by the side of the road.
