The Gallery Cafe

The Gallery Café, of Littleton, MA, is run by partners Virginia Wood (Whistle), and Elizabeth Greenslade (Liz). We have known each other for over 15 years. Liz began working for Whistle when the building was Ken’s American Café.

After 7 years at Ken’s, both went separate ways in life. Over the years, Liz acquired extensive experience within the restaurant industry and also started a family. Whistle, among other things, pursued her love of art and sent her son off to college.

While Liz and Whistle were never in constant contact, throughout the years they would always re-connect. It was during the most recent reconnection that Whistle was deciding what to do with the building at 529 King Street.

After months of brainstorming together, they ultimately decided to move forward with the Gallery 529 and The Gallery Café. The two businesses are combining Whistle’s passion for art and Liz’s passion for the hospitality industry.Together we have molded them into a fun, quirky, relaxed combination that is sure to please all! We have a beautiful gallery filled with lovely and inspiring pieces. And a restaurant that reflects the art throughout its decor as well as menu.

On Sundays, the Cafe offers a brunch from 9 - 2 pm, check out the menu here http://gallery529cafe.com/brunch-menu/. After 11 am, one can get a delicious bloody mary from the bar, or other tantalizing concoction.

Gallery 529 opened a little more than a year ago, and offers unique hand made art from local artists and artisans. There are ceramics, paintings, photography, fibre arts, wood, glass and jewelry. Currently there is an exhibition, "Home", a juried art show to benefit Habitat for Humanity. Over 20 pieces of artwork depicting what home means to the artists. Carlisle artist, Amy Fennick, won the jury's vote. Her ceramic piece, titled Homemade, shows the warmth and simplicity of home. Come vote for your favorite piece and the the artist garnering the most votes will win a cash prize. The show is up through May.

All the shows are free and open to all. One can come and enjoy delicious food, while perusing the beautiful arts created by local artists and artisans.

Donald McHale, (Chef Don) has created a menu that is sure to delight and please all!
