Food Barn - Kensington

What a delightful market in the middle of a rather industrial area, not far from the Mass. line. A terrific alternative to chain restaurants and grocers, this cafe has soups, sandwiches, salads, and fresh produce as well as a selection of local artisan products. Picnic tables abound, flowery greenhouse backdrops for you to enjoy your local beverages, and occasional live music. A Hot Box has pre-made sandwiches, including the weekly special (which was a Cubano Panini this week). We also had a Reuben which was excellent. Cold sandwiches, slaws, sides, and quiche varieties in the cold case. At least four soups were available, including a veggie bisque, which we hardly ever see.Friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere, rustic appeal. A hidden gem.

I wanted to like it here. It 's a cute space and farm but the food was just OK. A very basic turkey sandwich, breaded tasted like generic white bread, no flavoring on the turkey, not even S&P to boost the flavor, and no idea what was actually 'local ' on the sandwich. We also got a Cobb Salad, again no idea what was 'local. ' The salad was nothing to be desired, not enough chicken and the green goddess dressing was so bland. Would be nice if they did a better job marketing what food items are from where. For all I know, the chicken, turkey and egg were from purdue yuck.

Beautiful setting and great food. Quiet place to have a coffee or lunch with friends. They support local farms and donate quite a bit back to the town. The staff is always friendly and helpful.

Fresh ingredients. Had the breakfast burrito. Double expresso. Quick friendly service. Will be back for bands and purchasing other fresh stuff. A nice break from the tourist traps.

Very nice place, nice people working here and good food. Funky mix of corner grocery and restaurant, and we liked it.
