Leaves and Pages is a convenient store located at 59 West Main Street but retains a hidden historical value because in addition to coffee, tea and etc. it offers volumes of historical books, old New Britain post cards from the past, children’s books, and many small inexpensive gifts.
Arlene & Dan Palmer have operated this establishment for the past eight years and successfully turned its atmosphere into a family gathering type of socializing with all who venture to enter this pleasant and very different wonderful place.
In addition to the many areas to congregate they also offer a meeting room for those who may wish to hold a private affair.
With my first arrival, I was immediately welcomed as though I was a long lost family member that reappeared and all the customers there played a big part of the warm welcome.
They also provide gift wrap baskets of imported candies, cookies,
pastas, and jams for your love ones.
If you should desire to be welcomed with a home type atmosphere while enjoying your coffee and reading your paper, then the “Leaves and Pages” is a must on your list to visit.
The magnetic atmosphere of this location will draw you right back for your second visit, again and again!
I drive by there everyday, but I never knew what it was all about. I will now have to stop and check it out. Thanks for sharing that info.
ReplyDeleteIt's New Britain's version of "Cheers" where everyone knows your name!
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to hear about such a friendly place. So many businesses have lost all customer service and treat customers like numbers. This sounds almost like an extended family environment.
ReplyDeleteThey need a liquor permit & bar stool to attract Norm.
ReplyDeleteI stopped in at "Leaves and Pages" a few times in the spring, and found it to be a friendly place. I hope to go back again when the weather improves.
ReplyDeleteIt does have the friendly atmosphere of "Cheers".
