Vanilla Bean Cafe
The Vanilla Bean Café opened in 1989 with a seating capacity of 16, today we seat 90 inside and 40 outside! Located in a restored, early 19th century barn in scenic Pomfret, Connecticut, The Vanilla Bean Café is owned and operated by the Jessurun Family: Barry and Brian, with occasional appearances by and help from the rest of the family. Our Philosophy was simple: “Create a place where we would feel comfortable and serve food that we would want to eat. If we wouldn’t eat it, we certainly wouldn’t serve it.”
Stone Hurst At Hampton Valley
StoneHurst at Hampton Valley is a unique spot nestled on a 90+ acres of land with not just one but TWO amazing venues. The Mansion at StoneHurst and The Barns at StoneHurst are two different venues for two different types of couples on their special day. Each venue comes with their own parking lot, ceremony site and bridal/grooms suites – we believe that no bride should see another on their special day and we have worked extremely hard to ensure we keep it that way. If you wish to be the only wedding on property that day, that is also available with our Full Buyout option! This is where you use the mansion suites to get ready, enjoy cocktail hour in our mansion and then trolley ride down to the barns for an evening of dinner and dancing!
