The Little Village Cafe - Fairhaven

Really good food and great value. Consistently a yummy stop for breakfast or lunch.

This little cafe location figures prominently in the history of the now global Seventh-day Adventist Church. Fairhaven pioneer Captain Joseph Bates, created as co-founder of the Adventist Church, lived up the street. A wealth successful businessman he spent his fortune on telling the world of Jesus soon return.One day his wife asked him to pick up 4 lbs of flour which he did with his last money on hand. She objected asking why he had not bought a 20 lb barrel! When he explained he was out of cash she broke down crying. Bates told her God would supply all their needs.Bates was impressed to go to this building, then the town post office, where he found a letter waiting for him. It was postage due, but Bates did not want to go into debt so he could not take the letter. He was however impressed the envelope contained money so he asked the postmaster to open it and check. Inside was $10! Bates went back to the store and ordered a lot of food for delivery to his house but instructed the driver not to tell his wife where it came from. He took the rest of the money to the printer to place on deposit for printing a book he was writing on the Sabbath truth.Later a friend happened upon a former employer on the road who was impressed to pay $100 he had cheated from the man. The friend took the $100 of found money to Bates’s printer and paid for the rest of the print order. Bates never knew were that cash came from.

Cute little diner. The food was good and the staff was attentive. Small but inviting and clean. The only reason I gave a 4 for the food was that the egg had a large shell on it and the home fries were burnt. Other then that I would go again.

Delicious breakfast. Did not disappoint! Came for a family brunch. They quickly and happily accommodated a party of 3 children and 4 adults.

This is a fantastic little breakfast place! The food is delicious, and you definitely get your money's worth. The service is always excellent.
