Three delicious meals served up and sampled at 3 Cafe
Reminder Publications dined on organic delights at 3 Cafe at 684 Belmont Ave.

SPRINGFIELD — So how many local restaurants use eggs from their own organically raised flock of chickens?
As far as I know, there’s only one: 3 Cafe at 684 Belmont Ave.
Owner and chef Cathie Albrecht has established a cozy neighborhood breakfast and lunch spot with a real difference. Albrecht features home baked breads and lovingly created desserts as well as seasonal dishes that showcase locally grown produce.
The desserts are prepared three ways — a regular recipe and then a vegan version as well as a gluten-free one.
Accompanied by staffers Courtney Llewellyn and Mike Briotta, we tried out the 3 Cafe offerings last week. With only seven tables in the spot — there is an outdoor dining area during the warmer months this is a restaurant where personal service is truly part of the dining experience.

She prepares a fresh garlic and tomato bruschetta, a squash blossom, zucchini and goat cheese frittata and finally some fruit filled tarts with fresh whipped cream. You can watch the whole show at the WGBY web site! CLICK HERE.
