Locals Farm Market — Restaurant in Poolesville

New Hours: Sat., Sun. 9-2. Locals Coffeeshop and Bakery is a beautiful outdoor space about to blossom. Already, owners Sandy and Dave Therriault have carved a gem into historic Poolesville—a respite from the bustle, a place where locals can gather in a serene setting for a latte, a scone, or an iced chai tea. The fresh baked sourdough boule or sourdough boule with mozzarella and cheddar cheese are favorites. Be sure to get there early for the sourdough pretzels, as they’re sure to sell out. Eat The Rainbow from the agricultural reserve provides fresh carrots, spinach, mixed greens, salad turnips and radishes. The current bakery and cafe are soon to bloom into a breakfast, lunch, and dinner restaurant in a cool historic building, serving beer and wine. An outdoor dining patio will overlook a spectacular sculpture garden, a result of David’s artistic vision and dream which evolved over 30 years of sculpting art and running Alden Farms, a nursery now transformed into David’s sculptor‘s showcase. David’s plans for the restaurant include an outdoor stage where he will feature local musical talent and an art gallery showcasing local photographers and artists. He hopes to launch these features in time for Poolesville Day this July. This next chapter in the life of Sandy and Dave will fulfill their dream and provide a community treasure for the locals and visitors of...

The favorite dish ordered by our table of 3 was the breakfast sandwich which was a big hit. Coffee was also very good. From the bakery to go the biscuits were phenomenally good.

I grew up in a country where this kind of restaurant is everywhere and I sorely miss them. Now I don't have to with Locals in my life. The whole experience is relaxed and happy and we will definitely...

This is one of the only "All Five" stars. I had the Turmeric Steamer for a beverage with the breakfast sandwich. On our way out, we purchased the cheese loaf and olive sourdough. Both loaves were consumed within 24 hours as you just kept wanting more. Local tap beers available too, which was a surprise for me st this location!! Staff - Busy!! Coming from a background in restaurants and staffing, I was very impressed by their composure. Quick and hot food on top of it. If I could have bottled up the entire location and move it back to South Dakota with me, I would have. Product- Fresh. Fresh. Fresh. That is the name of the game! From tomatoes, noodles, cookies, cheese, oils, jams, breads, etc. I was VERY impressed. Check them out if you are in the neighborhood. This...
