Wow, we will miss our neighbors at The Corner Cafe. 😢 It will leave a real hole in the center of Orange. Glad they’ll be around for a few more weeks!

To our amazing community,

With a lot of big emotions, we are sharing the news that Corner Cafe will be permanently closing its doors, after serving our final breakfast, on November 28th, 2026.

This decision comes as the building we currently reside in is going up for sale and preparing for its own next chapter. After careful consideration on purchasing the space ourselves, we have decided that it isn’t the right direction for us.

Serving this community these past 7 years has been an absolute joy. You have continuously chosen Corner Cafe as your meeting place, your resting place and your celebrating place. Every one of you have turned our little cafe into a true neighborhood home. We are incredibly grateful for your loyalty, your smiles, and the memories we’ve shared over the years. We are also grateful to find deep comfort in knowing that many new local eateries are opening their doors to us this year. We know that you will show them as much love as you have shown us. We will meet you at their tables!

While we are sad to say goodbye to this space, we are endlessly blessed for the incredible community of people and town officials that have supported us every step of the way. You’ve made this adventure unforgettable!

We would love to see you before we say goodbye! Please stop by over the next few weeks so we can thank you in person and share one last cup of coffee together.
Thank you for everything,
The Corner Cafe Team ☕❤️
Terry, Bob, Stephanie, Tracey, Carol, Lisa, Elisha, Charlene & Brandi

P.S. We have several weeks left, and we intend to make them count! Stop by before November 28th to get your favorite treats and help us send off Corner with love and celebration. 🎉☕ As a final farewell, our large wooden logo sign (typically seen hanging by the register wall) has been taken down and set up in the front window for signing. Here you will find markers to leave a farewell note to our beloved cafe. Terry & Bob will take the sign home on our final day of business as a forever keepsake of the family they have created here.

Signs of spooky season at Quabbin Harvest! A massive delivery of sugar pumpkins from our friends at Coolidge Hill Farm 🎃🎃🎃 Enough to include in every one of our veggie shares this week!! 🥰

Did you know that you can do so much more with pumpkins than just pumpkin pie? Try mixing some pureéd pumpkin into a soup or stew to thicken it (and extend the number of servings!) Or use some in your pancake or brownie batter to make super fluffy and moist baked goods 🥞 It also makes a great quick and easy pasta sauce, just simmer with a little onion, garlic, butter, sage, & cream! Or of course you could carve a face and place it on your doorstep to delight trick-or-treaters! 👻

Happy Harvest Season!🧡

Y'all know how this 50/50 raffle thing works, right? 🏆 The more tickets we sell, the bigger the prize. We're aiming toward selling 200 tickets which means the lucky winner will walk away with $2,000 while another $2,000 will help support the community food security work that Quabbin Harvest and Quabbin Food Connector are doing at 12 North Main Street.

See the first comment for the direct connection to online tickets, or purchase yours in the store or from a volunteer. We've got about three weeks before the drawing to build this pot up into something really exciting! 🤑

🏡The third of our three $10 raffle ticket prizes is as exciting as the first two (tires, meat, you remember): two nights in a peaceful Wendell Airbnb getaway hosted by a generous co-op member. It's a cozy one-bedroom home with a spacious yard located in a private setting bordering the 7,000+ acre Wendell State Forest, a great place for hiking, biking, snow-shoeing and skiing. 🐕 Visiting dogs are welcome to run/play in the yard (under supervision of course). You'll find a private deck and firepit nestled within a nearby rock outcropping. Good for any two contiguous nights, weeknight or weekend, subject to availability on the Airbnb calendar.

🎫 Tickets are available in the store, from volunteers, or online using the QR code.

This is maybe the moment to mention that we aren't able to link you directly to the Airbnb page for more pics and date availability because Meta in its wisdom has decided to limit how many links we can post in a given month. Two is the number they've decided on. 😳 Yep, two. So for more details, use the QR code or check our website, or see the comments for a link.
