Serendipity Cafe

Chittenango, in Madison County, is home to Serendipity Cafe, a locally owned specialty coffee shop with pastries and treats to go with the drinks. The cafe is cozy, with room to stop in and stay a while, which suits a slow morning or an afternoon meetup.

Next door, an ice cream stand called The North Pole opens during the summer, so a coffee stop can turn into a dessert stop. Chittenango is the birthplace of L. Frank Baum, author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and the village has long embraced its Oz connection.
