Wet Hen Cafe

Wet Hen Café’s story revolves around poultry, from the origin of its name to its owners’ 25 clucking pets to its menu items. Buoyed by backgrounds in the restaurant business, Jackie and Don Handlin work with their son and sous chef Brandon to craft a menu of light sandwiches, soups, and breakfast meals. Named after the idiom "madder than a wet hen," Wet Hen Café churns out quiche dotted with spinach, feta, and cranberry, sandwiches layered with black forest ham, jack cheese, and brown mustard, and, of course, hearty chicken soup. The café supports local merchants by hanging and selling original artwork and selling craft honey and Blind Dog coffee.
