What We Serve

At Gather, we’re proud to source locally and sustainably. Our curated market features premium pantry items and fresh goods from nearby farmers and small-batch artisans. Our kitchen is the heartbeat of our space, offering:

• House-baked pastries and treats

For coffee lovers, Gather is a haven. We serve 100% Arabica coffee beans from sustainable, ethical farms — chosen for both their flavor and their values. Whether you're grabbing a quick espresso or settling in with a latte, you'll taste our commitment to craft in every cup.

And when you’re in the mood to unwind or celebrate, our wine bar is open all day — offering a curated selection of wines, thoughtfully paired with seasonal bites. Whether it’s a mid-afternoon glass or a leisurely early lunch with a pour of red, our wine service is designed to elevate your day.
