BEST COFFEE SHOPPE IN THE
VALLEY
Now, during Lent, Carleen’s is offering fish on Fridays until 8 p.m. The menu is great with staples like baked haddock to salmon pie to a fisherman’s platter of fried scallops, haddock, clams, shrimp, onion rings, French fries and homemade cole slaw. They also have fish chowder, clam chowder and daily specials. Prices are reasonable so that the whole family can enjoy friday night fish. Breakfast is served all day and the menu offers the basic eggs, bacon and homefries, to specialty items like the country breakfast, which is their hungry- man’s special. The country breakfast is two pancakes, two eggs, two strips of bacon, two links of sausage and choice of homefries or beans. Carleen’s
offers a large variety of omelets. There is the spinach
and fetta cheese omelet or the broccoli and cheddar or my
favorite, the steak bomb omelet. The steak bomb
omelet is three eggs with steak, mushrooms, peppers,
onions, and cheese. Lunch offers a variety of soups, sandwiches and salads. My kids love the French fries and you can get the kids a hot dog for $1.50 or a hamburger for $2.95. Carleen’s is more than just a coffee shop. It’s a warm and inviting local place where you can go, eat great food, and talk politics with your neighbors. Normal hours of
operation are Monday-Friday 6am-2pm, Saturday 6am-1pm and
Sundays 7am-1pm. Friday’s until 8pm during
Lent. Carleen’s Coffee Shop, 207 South Broadway,
Route 28, Lawrence, MA, call: (978) 682-3466. *Send your questions comments to ValleyPatriot@aol.com |
My family has been going to
Carleen’s Coffee Shop in Lawrence for breakfast
since the Farrington Family first opened it in 1983. For
the past nine years, John and Ellie Farrington have owned
the shop, but Carleen’s is much more than a coffee
shop. It is like a warm and inviting place where
you always know one or two people. You can sit at the
counter or at a booth or table. You seat yourself
and within seconds, one of the very friendly waitresses
will help you.
