Country Butcher — Local services in Kennett Square

My friends and I went to breakfast at the Country Butcher in Kenneth Square this morning as we have for years. They just completed a major renovation of the cafe cooking area…and unfortunately, the “breakfast” menu, which now consists of “breakfast sandwiches”. Want bacon and eggs? Your previous choice of 3 different omelets? How about an order of the best French toast you have ever tasted? Nope! No longer available. Gone…in favor of “gourmet” breakfast sandwiches. Half of the previously available fresh baked goods are also gone - replaced by cold cuts! I told the management I would not be back - and I was told to “have a nice day”.

While a weekly staple for top notch meets and cheese they also have pizzas on Friday, a damn good eatery (try the desserts - yum yum) and a wide selection of fresh prepared and frozen foods. All kinds of sauces, jams and everything you need for a charcuterie board. You just have to go in and wander around - there’s a huge selection of stuff.
