THE FARMHOUSE
BUILT IN 1900
The early twentieth century farmhouse that is home to Something Special Café and Catering and the surrounding property has a rich history. The farmhouse once served as a dairy farm - Granby's main source of commerce by the end of the nineteenth century - and at another time was a boarding house for passing travelers.
BRINGING SOMETHING SPECIAL TO GRANBY
​Something Special Café serves breakfast and lunch, Wednesday-Sunday, 7am-2pm. Customers may choose to dine indoors in the farmhouse style café with its open concept and traditional historic decor, grab their food to go from the countertop service area, or dine outdoors on the spacious patio surrounded by a white picket fence.
​
The Something Special Café menu is inspired by the Live Local and Eat Fresh perspectives. We care about where our food comes from, we work with local businesses and we serve quality food that is simple, fresh and made from scratch. ​
Other unique aspects of our humble establishment is that we welcome you to our cozy home, decorated with paintings of the surrounding farmlands by a local artist hanging in the dining room; menus decorated by the drawings of another local artist; tables dressed with handmade country checkered tablecloths; fresh flowers and landscaping in our patio area; and a gas fireplace at the head of our indoor dining room.
​
Something Special continues its catering service in a more limited capacity, offering hot, oven ready trays or party platters for pick-up at our location as well as the opportunity to rent our premises for private events in the hours after the café has closed.
