Discovering Medfield

Grab a Bite to Eat at Lord's Lunch Counter

Coffee Sensations of Medway runs the lunch counter at the back of Lord's Department Store, where folks can enjoy breakfast, lunch, desserts (including ice cream) and a bottomless cup of Arabica coffee.

On a recent steamy afternoon, we found ourselves in need of a milkshake and air conditioning and soon after, found ourselves saddled up to the lunch counter at Lord’s Department Store. It was noontime, so our plans for a simple shake turned into a full lunch including a grilled chicken Caesar wrap, tuna salad on light rye, and macaroni and cheese. While waiting for our lunch to arrive, we soaked in our surroundings.  Lord’s is an icon in the community as is the lunch counter itself. Originally run by founder Raymond Lord and then Bill Kelly, the counter at the back of the store is now run by Coffee Sensations of Medway - however not much else has changed since the store opened in 1940. Everything at the counter is original – including the …
