The Old Brick Café in Williston, situated in a renovated 19th-century brick house, has closed. After trying to sell the restaurant for some time, owner David Herskowitz decided that continuing to run the cozy breakfast, lunch and brunch joint wasn't in his best interest.

Planning to PYO raspberries at Adam's Berry Farm? This year, you're out of luck. In a recent email, Adam Hausmann explained that "Due to repeated flooding in 2006 and early 2007, we lost a considerable section of our raspberry planting (over a half mile of row feet!). Fortunately, we have replanted what we lost and will be open again next season to the public."

On September 19, Dr. Goodall herself will travel to the wilds of Waterbury to visit company headquarters, where she'll announce that Gombe Reserve coffee is "the world's first product to carry that Jane Goodall 'Good For All' certification seal of approval," according to a press release.
Bueno Y Sano, located next to B-town institution Stone Soup, is scheduled to open next week. Owner Will Lowry can't say exactly when the burritos will start rolling, so keep your eyes peeled. . . One of Barre's two new coffee shops, Espresso Bueno, is throwing a grand opening party this Saturday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. There will be prizes, and, of course, free samples.
