I love everything about this place. It is so charming! I had this jam at brunch at the Ocean House and HAD to bring some home! It tastes like heaven and is seriously addictive! Put it on waffles, I love mine on toast or an English muffin! The service couldn’t have been friendlier! Everything here […]
