The Rumour Mill — Restaurant in Town of Phelps

A must try! You’ll come for the hype, and stay for the QUALITY. Convenient location on Main St with front and back door entrances. A cohesive aesthetic. A cozy, CLEAN, and welcoming atmosphere. Friendly staff that provide exceptional service ready to serve YOU. Delicious handcrafted to perfection beverages made with fresh ingredients that are ✨consistent✨ - ever ordered your normal at Dunkin and as soon as they’re bringing it to the window you can tell by the color it’s made wrong? Not a problem at The Rumour Mill! A small business that supports other local small businesses through collaboration. I haven’t been disappointed with anything that I’ve tried.

They’re the kind of people who remember your order, actually care how your day is going, and make you feel like part of the family. My 6-year-old made a core memory here one Saturday morning when she beat me in checkers for the first time 😍

It’s cozy, it’s welcoming, and it’s an absolute must-stop for me every single morning. If Stars Hollow had a zip code here, this would be the heart of it.
