Local Favorites Near the Trail

☕ Bean Bar Coffee
Located on South Irby Street, Bean Bar is a cozy local café known for its seasonal lattes, house-made pastries, and refreshing cold brews. It’s the ideal post-walk stop—whether you want a quiet corner to read or a drink to go before heading back to Sanctuary.

🍽️ Buddy’s of Florence
Buddy’s blends southern comfort and modern flavor in a lively atmosphere just minutes from the trail. From brunch plates to burgers and cocktails, it’s a perfect place to meet friends after a morning ride or unwind on a Friday night. Their outdoor seating is great for mild-weather afternoons.

🍺 Local Motive Brewing Company
Florence’s own craft brewery and gastropub offers locally brewed beer, weekend live music, and a relaxed industrial vibe. Located downtown, it’s an easy next stop after exploring the Rail Trail. Try a flight of their rotating taps or a pizza from their in-house kitchen for a well-earned treat.
