Silver Fern

Great food and drinks. Lots of gluten/dairy free options available. Gets very busy, don't be surprised if you have to wait a bit if you plan to sit in.

Sitting in this quiet plant-filled space, taking an early-afternoon breather on a hot Saturday in July: visiting Silver Fern feels like a taste of the Good Life. As I sipped the complexly layered & refreshing zing of a lemon ginger cold brew, I was overwhelmed with a sense of gratitude and appreciation for life’s little pleasures. The two family members who were with me agreed, as we shared a matcha white chocolate cookie (excellent chewy texture & plenty of matcha flavor!) and a savory scone loaded with caramelized onion (and which had an impressively buttery mouthfeel, especially for a gluten-less baked good). The serene and comfy atmosphere of Silver Fern helps set it above your average cafe, and I love the creativity which they put into seasonal drink specials and the care with which their luscious pastries are prepared (including a good array of vegan and gluten-friendly options). Another plus is the menu of sandwiches, salads & other foodstuffs which are a bit more substantial than what’s available at most coffee shops. I hope Silver Fern will continue to grace NE with its unique and exemplary offerings for many years!
