What are some of the things that make small towns so doggone charming? Well, there are quaint streets which architecture harkens back to days of old, unique shops nothing like the big box stores, areas to sit outside and fun little cafés that are often housed in buildings that used to be something else.
So, what makes a café a café? In Comfort it seems to mean an intimate setting, fresh ingredients, friendly atmosphere, unique décor, outside space when the weather is amenable, live music at times and a welcoming place for groups to hang out! This month, we will focus on three such establishments: High’s Café & Store, Food for the Soul and Flamingo Street.
We will begin with the senior member of the trio, High’s Café and Store, located on High Street between Sixth and Seventh. The building, originally home to the Comfort Volunteer Fire Department, has been High’s Café since 2005, and it’s been going strong ever since. Just under a year ago, Daryn Petermann purchased the business from the original owners, Denise Rabalais and Brent Ault.
