Was User at Lighthouse a mag?
I discovered this hidden gem while traveling on Route 32 South in Mansfield, on my way to Willimantic, CT. It’s situated next to a small motel on Route 66, just south of Stretch 6.

A fantastic spot for breakfast and lunch! The staff is friendly, and I really appreciate that they offer gluten-free bread when many other restaurants do not.

I stumbled upon this hidden gem after taking an unexpected detour off Route 32 south in Mansfield on my way to Willimantic, CT. It’s situated next to a small motel on Route 66, just south of the Route 6 interchange. I arrived before 9 AM, and the place filled up quickly with customers, and I can see why: 1. The waitstaff was very attentive 2. They happily customized orders 3. They used fresh, local ingredients 4. The coffee was excellent 5. The breakfast burrito was the best I've had outside the Rio Grande 6. The prices were quite reasonable. I'm writing this on my phone, so I’ll keep it brief—be sure to stop by for breakfast or lunch, and you might be as impressed as I was. I’m already looking forward to my next visit.
