You'll find a daily menu posted in front of the cafeteria.
TEA CART
The Tea Cart is the oldest Devon booth and the start of the Devon Country Fair. Although you won't find the lace tablecloths and sterling silver urns of yesteryear, you will still find a special blend of iced tea served with sugar syrup, mint leaves and lemon. You can begin your morning here with an assortment of breakfast options from french toast sticks to waffles, fresh fruit, coffee, danish or a bagel. Then stop by for lunch to sample the delicious tea sandwiches and mouthwatering pastries. Many thanks to Green Mountain Coffee for their generous donation of all coffee! Tea Cart opens at 7 a.m.
FOOD ALLEY
You won't go hungry at Devon. Saunter down the row of Devon's volunteer-run food court and be tempted! All day long and into the night the sizzle of hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill and the tempting aroma of pizza and fries will let you know good food awaits you. In addition, you can grab a sandwich or a salad and, of course, soft drinks and fun fair food like ice cream and popcorn. Once you've picked up your tasty treats, take them over to the expanded picnic grove to enjoy.
DEVON FUDGE

DEVON GROUNDS "GOURMET COFFEE"
