A Perfect Pairing

Inspired by Inn at Laurel Point’s very own dynamic duo, Paul and Artie Arsens, Duo Café Bakery marries delicious treats with a warm and comfortable atmosphere.

A pair in business and in life, the story of the Inn’s late owners lives on throughout the building and community and is carried forward in Duo. With a historic list of cafés, hotels, and restaurants falling under the Arsens name, the duo’s profound appreciation for quality work and craftsmanship, and an everlasting affair with art and the beauty of nature, this chapter in Inn at Laurel Point’s story embodies all of these elements in a brand new space.

Find our talented in-house team of bakers and pastry chefs, combine them with local partnerships with food purveyors focused on exceptional ingredients, and get a scrumptious result that delivers consistent, sustainable service at Duo. We’re delighted to offer multiple loyalty programs for frequent sippers, and other ways to ensure you can enjoy our goodies guilt-free!

As Paul and Artie always instilled in each of their businesses, community is at the core of the Inn’s values and offerings. We invite you to come and try our locally roasted coffee, wide selection of teas, freshly baked-in-house treats, healthy quick bites, and assortment of decadent indulgences. Be sure to keep an eye out for the Daily Duo, a featured pairing that goes hand-in-hand.

Duo Café Bakery is your new local spot for a perfect pairing of coffee and pastries, tea and scones, milk and cookies, or six of one and half a dozen of the other!
