I am forever looking for places that are great for both kids and adults. I'm thrilled to say that Firehouse Coffee 1881 meets that criteria. Offering coffee and tea, as well as smoothies, baked goods, sandwiches and ice cream, Firehouse Coffee is run by a mom who understands the needs of kids. She has a bookshelf of firetruck toys for kids to play with while visiting. Indoor and outdoor seating is available and pets are allowed.
Firehouse took over the building that was the oldest fire department for the US army, which began in 1829, and was built in 1881. They are open Tuesday through Thursday 7-4 and Friday through Sunday 8-5.
