our story
In 2022, Adam and Ross brought their Californian dreams to life by opening Midpines Cafe, a cozy spot inspired by a memorable road trip through California. The name itself is a tribute to that journey, capturing the charm and calm of Midpines, CA. A year later, they embarked on a new adventure, purchasing a house in Italy with plans to slowly transform it into their retirement haven. Along the way, they've drawn inspiration from their travels through California and Sicily, infusing the cafe’s menu with flavors and dishes that tell the story of their travels and passions, sharing a slice of their journey with every bite.
the cafe
Whether it's the gentle sound of rain or the winter sun streaming through the windows, the atmosphere here remains calm and peaceful, offering a perfect retreat no matter the weather.
Our café and conservatory can get chilly on winter days, as the old barn is difficult to keep fully heated. We recommend bringing something warm to wear if it’s particularly cold. However, we also offer cozy, homemade ponchos for guests to use inside—just ask any member of our staff if you'd like to use one!
