Cottonwood Shanty shop owner and Millersburg native Alyssa Eliot shares some of her go-to spots.
Nestled in historic downtown Millersburg, Cottonwood Shanty is known for home decor. “The aesthetic is to create a mixture of European style that is natural and effortless,” says owner Alyssa Eliot. We asked the Millersburg native for some of her favorite food finds in the surrounding countryside.
Rebecca’s Bistro: This quaint bistro offers a menu of carefully curated eats. “I love getting Rebecca’s decadent stuffed French toast for breakfast,” says Eliot. “For lunch, I love their grilled cheese and famous chunky tomato soup.” 4986 Walnut St., Walnut Creek 44687, 330/893-2668, rebeccasbistro.com
