I drove by today and it is closed. A “For Rent” sign is in the window. It’s a shame.

My name is Lauren Baldassarre, VP of Sales & Customer Relations, at Golden Valley Farms Coffee Roasters in West Chester. I wanted to clarify a point in the review Clock Tower Natural Foods, Paoli.

Golden Valley Farms is not the exclusive coffee provider for Clock Tower Natural Foods. Golden Valley Farms created a specific coffee blend for Clock Tower’s food service coffee and retail take-home coffee. However, we did not create nor do we provide espresso or decaffeinated coffees to Clock Tower Natural Foods.

Pictures were fine. You were fair and showed was it was: a plate of beige stuff. And, a bowl of beige stuff, too.

In fairness, I will point out three things:

1) We got takeout — so the presentation isn’t what they would have served in the restaurant (still, it was kinda weak).

2) It’s hummus. Pureed stuff. You can’t expect it to look that great.

3) We weren’t thrilled with our pictures, but they were the best we had.

I’ll definitely give it a try. Nice to have a meal that both your tastebuds and your body will love. But, Clocktower’s presentation leaves alot to be desired. Healthful food does not have to look bad. That Hummus Trio with Rosemary Bread and Wheat Biscuit you show looks incredibly unappetizing. It looks sort of like prison slop or a boring plate of neutral colored pureed stuff along with tan hunks of bread. As MLD said, maybe put just a couple cuc slices, carrot sticks, celery and radish for bright color and crunch.

Thank you for giving the Clocktower Cafe the time of day, so to speak.
I find it to be one of the more interesting and healthful lunch spots along the Western Main Line, while, also, holding the unofficial title of remaining one of its most overlooked eateries.

I have enjoyed several meals there within the last year.
Soups can get interesting (lentil & red wine was tasty & intruiging), hummus platters are enjoyable, and the sandwiches are worth the extra coins for homemade freshness and top quality ingredients.

The place is tiny and cute, the staff has always been very nice (if you like conversation with your meal, one of the chef’s will keep you company as he is quite the film/book buff), and their beverages – cold/hot teas, house brand coffee and juices are exceptional.

Except for Oasis Living Cuisine in Malvern and the salad bar at Whole Foods (Wayne), the Clocktower Cafe is probably the most healthful meal west of Bryn Mawr.

Thanks again, MLD.
