The Fireside Cafe in Caribou aims to provide a cozy atmosphere, with co-owner Chrystal Burns stating:
I want you to feel like you’re at your grandma’s house. The cafe's rustic decor, including wood-paneled walls and cast iron decorations, creates a welcoming ambiance.
Co-owners Chrystal Burns and Kate McCartney have renovated the former Maine Bean & Tea building to bring their vision to life. They plan to offer
affordable meals made from ingredients sourced from Aroostook County farms, embracing the farm-to-table movement.
According to McCartney,
Everything is going to be fresh, as locally sourced as possible, and healthy. The goal is to serve food that is not only delicious but also visually appealing and affordable.
