If you haven’t yet eaten at Cartwright’s Maple Tree Inn, add it to your bucket list immediately. Open this season from February 12 through April 14, there is only a limited time during which you can enjoy the Inn’s 100% pure maple syrup on its delicious unlimited buckwheat pancakes this semester.

The Cartwright family began producing maple syrup back in the 1850’s, and they opened the Maple Tree Inn restaurant in 1963. Since then, the restaurant has expanded, but the family has stayed true to the business’s roots.

According to the restaurant website, the Cartwright family “places approximately 8,000 taps each year” and produces the maple syrup on the premises. This is why the restaurant is only open seasonally.

After eating your fill of pancakes, and yes, for just $6.35 the waiter will keep bringing more until you are just about ready to burst, you can go down to the basement to see how the syrup is made.

Despite the Inn’s isolated location, customers from far and wide come to Angelica for the pure maple syrup and the homemade pancakes. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience this great local restaurant while you are still living right down the road.

Stop by for a delicious breakfast anytime from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Fridays, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturdays, or from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays. Please note that the Inn does not accept credit cards.

I am a senior psychology and sociology major, and I am the editor of the sports and culture section for the Star this year. I am passionate about journalism, and I am proud that it is thriving on Houghton’s campus. My favorite part of my section is the Things To Do column; I enjoy getting students excited about the local area and what it has to offer. I hope to bring the campus a vibrant arts and sports section that reflects students’ interests and passions. Let me know if you have any ideas or comments!
