Melinda's Biscotti started out making and distributing delicious biscotti and became so popular that they have blossomed into a local favourite for breakfast and lunch, Mon-Fri. Note: kitchen closes at 2 but you can still pop in for biscotti and coffee until 3 (sometimes later). My personal favourite- gluten-free almond biscotti
