MONTAGUE — Busy Bee Café officially opened their new space with a ribbon cutting ceremony Saturday. Formerly a seasonal shop in the Artisan Market, they now have a larger space that will be open year-round, located next to the Weathervane Inn and Home and Gather.
With the new space, owner Miranda Coombs has finally been able to achieve her goal of opening her own café.
“I used to daydream with my mom about the café we would open together,” Coombs said. “What foods we would have, the desserts we would make, the decor, the dishes, all the grandkids would come work there and have it be a family business. But we were never able to make it a reality.”
Coombs’ mother passed away in 2020. She is grateful for all that she learned from her, and the skills and motivation from her mother that she looks forward to implementing in her business.
“I grew up helping my mom bake in a small cafe near our house,” said Coombs. “She would bake all night long making breads, pies, cookies and all sorts of things that seemed larger than life at the time. Everything I know how to do, I learned from watching her and jumping in to help.”
Busy Bee Café is open Tuesday through Sunday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
