Pemberton's Best Local Comfort Foods (& Drink)
Pemberton's Distillery
Pemberton has long been known for the quality of its potatoes. But it wasn't until Tyler and Jonathan Schramm decided to distill their organic potatoes and turn them into premium organic small batch vodka that things got really interesting. To do this right, Tyler went to Scotland for his Master's thesis in Brewing & Distilling at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland. Together, they started the distillery in 2008, and by 2009, Tyler had hand distilled his first batch. Stop by their Distillery front room during open hours or better yet take a Distillery Tour on select Saturday's throughout the year!
Mount Currie Coffee Co.
At Mount Currie Coffee
Co. a warm cuppa is the quintessential comfort drink and
Pemberton has some of the best beans around. Recent reviews
from Tripadvisor include this: "The line-up in the store is what
you'd expect in NYC or Toronto... but it seems that people come
from all over, especially on bike, for a cup of the coffee, and for
a very good reason.... it's very good coffee."
Mile One Eating House
Rated the top restaurant in Pemberton. Mile One Eating House
is deliberately local in both food and decor, creating a cozy
atmosphere that you come to expect in Pemby dining. Really good
food, done right. It's great tasting, simple food. Exactly what
comfort food should be.
Blackbird Bakery
A
little French bakery in the heart of Pemberton. A recent review
says it perfectly: "Addictive. There is so much goodness in this

handcrafted artisan breads and pastries. Exactly what you need to
snuggle up with on a cold day.
