Bruce’s Cheese Emporium & Cafe has been a fixture in Greenport since 1974 serving as a coffeehouse, cafe and cheese shop. Most locals and tourists alike head to Bruce's on the weekends for omelets, pancakes and french toast, or for a sandwich at lunchtime. What many don't know is that Bruce's son - Scott - has taken the helm and has created a late-night, casual bistro open Thursday - Saturday, serving Farm to Table fare at very reasonable prices. The wines by the glass are all local (Shinn, Bedell's) and the beer is Greenport Harbor Brewing Company on tap.
Scott's menu changes weekly based on what is fresh and available from the local farms and fishery. Recently it featured Striped Bass Tar Tar (served with cornichon, truffle dijon, & flatbread), Crescent Duck Wings (with Blue Castello and shaved celery) and the NoFo Knuckle Sandwich (lobster knuckle, avocado, candy bacon, & watercress). This being the Cheese Emporium there is of course a beautiful cheese plate and a charcuterie plate.
Don't let the menu fool you: this joint is as casual as it gets for a dinner in Greenport. On Saturday night a local couple shared a meal at the bar, a family seated outside, kids in tow, enjoyed a light dinner and I enjoyed a glass of wine with a friend. You'll likely even find Scott behind the bar, taking a break and pouring himself a glass of Shinn wine, chatting with his customers.
