Frequently Asked Questions ..

We love to hear from our customers! People call and email us often with great questions about the Wilmarth Cafe. We compiled a list of the most frequently asked questions and added informative answers. If you can't find the answer you are looking for, please Click Here to send us an e-mail.

1. What is the address of the Wilmarth Cafe?

The Wilmarth Cafe
172 W. Church Street
Arkham, MA

As you can see, we're located just off the Miskatonic University campus, which makes the Wilmarth Cafe an ideal spot for all of you students (and instructors) of the unusual to quench your thirst for caffeinated goodness!

2. Who is the owner?

The Wilmarth Cafe is owned by the Crookesdale Institute. However, they have very little to do with the actual operation of the place. The Wilmarth Cafe is operated by a general manager. However, he is a busy guy, and does very little of the actual coffee-pouring at the Wilmarth Cafe. He leaves that to the lesser employees, none of whom tend to stay in our employ long enough to merit mention on this website.

3. Can I get recipes for my favorite item at the Wilmarth Cafe?

We have home kitchen versions of the recipes for our Classic Coffee Cake, Lemon Pound Cake, Espresso Cheesecake, Chocolate Coffee Clusters, Classic Biscotti, Shortbread, Banana Blueberry Muffins and Chocolate Chip Scones available on our website. These recipes were specially developed by our staff to help our customers prepare some of their favorite Wilmarth Cafe items at home. We do not publish any other recipes. We never publish our cafe recipes. They are valuable proprietary information.

3. Can I get the recipe for the Charon's Ferry Tea?

So many of you love our Charon's Ferry Tea! We have tried to develop a “home kitchen” recipe for this tea. It is a complex recipe, made with over a dozen exotic ingredients. We have never come up with a home recipe that is anywhere near as good as our cafe recipe.

4. Do you have nutritional information available on your menu?

We have calculated nutritional information on some of our most popular Menu items. This information is on our Low Carb/Low Fat Menu which is available on location.

5. I love the paintings and the décor in your cafe! Where can I find those items for my own home?

Our decorator, Susan Tilton, is the very nice lady who is in charge of all of the artifacts that you see in our building. Some of the items you see on the walls are one of a kind and can't be purchased. Some of the pieces of décor Susan has available in our storage area. You can contact her at the Miskatonic University Archeology Dept.
