An unplanned stop at Pumpernickels tonight for dinner. It's been years since we last ate here. What a pleasant surprise to rediscover. Both the food and service were excellent, with a quiet atmosphere. It was a perfect night out.

First time back with the new owners and chef and wow, Pumpernickel’s did not disappoint.
The scallop appetizer was the star, I would highly recommend.
We both got the boar burger and the blueberry ketchup and smoked Gouda accouterments were delicious. Can’t wait to have again.
Also had the soup of the day, cream of mushroom, after learning that the mushrooms were from a local purveyor.
I haven’t been in in awhile, but now I can’t wait to come back. We even chatted about brunch and I can’t wait to try the cinnamon roll French toast!
Cheers to new menus, a new chef, a great waitress, great cocktails and a cozy atmosphere.

Absolutely Outstanding!
Pumpernickels is truly a hidden gem. The moment you walk in, you can feel the warm, welcoming atmosphere and the care they put into everything they do. The food is incredible — fresh, flavorful, and made with real passion. Every dish feels homemade but elevated, and the attention to detail is second to none.
The place is spotless, beautifully kept, and you can tell cleanliness is a top priority. Service is fast, friendly, and genuinely attentive — you never feel rushed, and they make you feel like family.
Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or just a quick coffee and pastry, Pumpernickels always delivers above expectations. If you haven’t tried it yet, you are seriously missing out. Highly recommend!
