There are plenty of great cafes in Connecticut, so in order to stand out, one has to be pretty special. It doesn’t get much more special than Heirloom Market in Wethersfield. This incredible and unique spot has so much going for it. It’s located in the old Comstock, Ferre building, right in the heart of Old Wethersfield. At Heirloom Market, you’ll find a delicious cafe, a small selection of natural foods, and plenty of heirloom seeds of rare varieties so that you can grow your own produce at home.

Old Wethersfield is the oldest of all European-settled towns in the Nutmeg State and it's home to some of the most historic buildings in Connecticut.

One of the most remarkable of these buildings is the old Comstock, Ferre building. The company was founded in 1820 and operated out of the same building for more than a century.
Today, you'll find Heirloom Market in the building. It hasn't even been in business for a full decade, but pays homage to the history of the place and is a wonderful spot to check out.
