Not sure where to grab a bite to eat? With lots of options around the Taunton area, it can be difficult to choose.
If you're having a hard time, we're here to help you narrow it down.
We've compiled a list of meal deals, special events, and mouth-watering offerings at local eateries and markets to consider when planning your next night on the town, or a quick stop for a tasty treat.
This week, Coffee Milano has rolled out a new way to spread positivity to the community, and pay it forward, with "Coffee & Kindness." Plus, we've got a sneak peek at the Taste of Greater Taunton, which is coming up soon, and will celebrate the diverse local food scene. We've also got flatbread, brunch, and a look at some other weekly specials.
Let's dig in:
Coffee Milano, which has gone viral in recent months for giving free coffee to dancing customers, has introduced a new way to spread positivity in the community.
The cafe at 58 Center St., Middleboro, now has 'Coffee & Kindness,' a way for customers who are short on money to still enjoy something to eat or drink.
Regardless of the reason — it's a judgement-free zone — if you need to, you can grab a Post-It, and enjoy some coffee, and some kindness.
Customers can also pay it forward, and — if you've got a little extra cash — buy a meal or a drink for someone in need. Write it on a Post-It, and put it up on the board.
Coffee Milano made the announcement in a Feb. 20 Facebook post, writing 'Because good food, warm coffee, and kindness should always be shared.'
