Come here in the autumn, when you're in the mood for a delish gourmet sandwich (just get the half..the whole is way too much) and try one of the soups...the peanut soup is very good....great bread also...and the ambiance is cozy and comfy...plus you can casually go buy a book at Village Books when finished!

TO DIE FOR!
My daughter and I ate at the Colophon Sat. 5th 2005. We ordered a dessert as we were still kind of full from lunch. It was Choc. D. Cake with hot fudge, ice cream and whipped cream over it. OOOOHHH YUM! It was so huge we were grateful we ordered one to share as even then we had to leave some on the plate! We watched other orders as they were going by us to other people and were quite impressed with the sizes and looks of them. Because we were so impressed my husband and I are going to treat ourselves for lunch at your rest. on Valentines Day! Your desserts are to die for so we're looking forward to see how we can prove this "Real Men Eat Elsewhere" totally wrong!

Real Men Eat Elsewhere
Hard to find anything on the menu that looked good (other than dessert). Might have enjoyed dining there if I had been born an ungulate. Couldn't bring myself to eat the sandwich I ordered after giving it the once over - bread was stale and hard...deli meats and cheese looked suspiciously over-processed...piles of sprouts inflated the thing to almost surreal proportions...at a price that would make an oil sheik proud (thank goodness I only ordered the half). Had to settle for pilfering chips from a nearby plate with a "blah" (partner's words) veggie burger. Finished the dining experience listening to the wait person argue that the cheese was "real". Wish I had noticed that. At least my dogs didn't go to bed hungry.
