The Little Rendezvous doesn’t advertise itself aggressively, doesn’t have a neon sign visible from the highway, and certainly doesn’t need a social media influencer to tell you it’s worth your time.

Everybody comes here – Grasslands Dessert Cafe

It was a rainy, chilly Sunday night when I sat down in a striped booth with Bill Colgan at his Grasslands Café in Lakeville next to the post office.
