Weather Gage is one of the most distinctive spots in downtown Easton. Itâs clearâthis is no ordinary coffee shop. Every detail is intentional, from the delightful fresh flower arrangements to the carefully curated pastry displays.
The interior draws from 19th-century nautical motifs, creating an atmosphere that feels both refined and immersiveâI imagine it to be like the inside of a beautifully appointed captainâs quarters at sea. Polished brass accents and a gilt-framed naval battle painting anchor the space in its maritime theme, while an astrolabe-inspired chandelier overhead adds a striking focal point. Pickled oak paneling, marble flooring, and maritime-themed films all work in harmony to carry the motif through without ever feeling forced.
The industryâs top pastry chefsâwhose experience, skill, and artistry I truly admireâcreate a new menu each month that blends the classic with the unexpected. Every pastry and baked good is made fresh daily in Bluepoint Hospitalityâs in-house boulangerie. While popular items often sell out, thereâs always the chance to find your favorite again the next day.
Whether you're stopping in for a La Colombe espresso drink or a cup of Mariage Frères tea, the quality and care in every cup and pastry are unmatched anywhere else on this side of the Chesapeake Bay.
I find myself returning often for their perfect latte and their specialty croissants: raspberry-pistachio, almond, Earl Grey (with pastry cream inside), or the classic pain au chocolatâall consistently flaky, rich, and just sweet enough. The savory scones are another favorite.
The location couldnât be betterâwalkable, charming, and right on one of Eastonâs most beautiful streets, with views of the courthouse and easy access to art galleries, gardens, shops, andâmore importantlyâmy office! A few outdoor tables make it easy to linger over your coffee and soak in the setting. More often than not, youâll spot a familiar faceâwhether they live around the corner or are visiting from farther afield.
I admire the consistent friendliness and professionalism of the staff. Over the years, Iâve received great service from every team member Iâve metâmany of whom grow into other roles within the Bluepoint family.
I wouldnât change a thing about this place.
Weather Gage is one of those rare places that makes Easton feel special. Itâs a gift to have this level of quality, artistry, and hospitality right here on the Shore. Thank you, Mr. Prager, for your vision and for bringing these beautiful spaces to life. A rising tide lifts all boatsâand Weather Gage is certainly part of...
   Read moreThe finest coffee this side of NYC! Not to mention the pastries! Absolutely the best this side of Cambridge. I say that because Cambridge has the downtown âBlack Water Bakeryâ, a marvelous cafeâ and lunch place; while out on Rt. 50 , just east of Cambridge, you have the âBay Country Shopâ. So, I would suggest for you travelers to the beaches, to stop off, first, and enjoy the quaintness of downtown Easton (thank you, Mr.Prager) and enjoy your pastry and delicious coffee from âThe Weather Gaugeâ; relaxing outside at their outdoor dining tables along the sidewalk of flowers and just sit back and enjoy the friendliness of the locals! Then, I dare you to stop and visit downtown Cambridge for some casual shopping and stop in at the âBlack Water Bakery!â Then as you return to the joys of Rt.50, and heading for about 2 miles east, on the right hand side, please find the âBay Country Bakery!â ⌠to stick up with some additional goodies to take to the beach for the week! Take plenty from each of the 3 bakeries; have a taste test among your guests as they arrive at your domain! Let me know which of the bakeries won the contest. I guess you will have to decide for yourself which has the best coffee. I think I know the answer to that one!
This is your lucky day if you did not know about these lovely, and âdeliciously classicâ places, here on the Mid-Shore! I am sure you...
   Read moreTwo private chefs/estate managers moved to this beautiful little town which usually means build quality can vary widely. Coffee â can be just like that and I will follow this review with an example. Weather Gage has great coffee, rich, full flavored. My wife and I have had a nice sampling of their drink and snack menu. Everything is good and consistently SO! = GET THE CINNAMON TWIST. đ Very nice, friendly staff. Great location of you are starting at The Tidewater in town. That's how we found them in the first place, was a lovely stroll from the hotel though this cool town to Weather Gage. Go đ˘ and enjoy! Example: Jack's coffee in the Hamptons. We worked East Hampton last summer, pretty much got the same thing everyday because there was so much variance in the coffee â it was literally different every single day. So, these guys could teach them a thing or two. đ I'll add...
