About Farrar’s Flat Iron Cafe
The building known as “Farrar’s” was established in 1898 by David H. Farrar. It began as a tobacco and candy store — later adding newspapers. For many years, Farrar’s was a waiting station for the patrons of the Eastern Massachusetts Railway when trolley cars ran between Brockton and New Bedford and the East Taunton Railway. The business was with the Farrar/Reed family — running as a popular ice cream and sandwich shop and friendly place to stop in the west end of Middleborough — until 1996.
Today, Farrar’s Flat Iron Café is a relaxed and family-friendly place where you can find good food, friendly service staff and owners who are working hard to make the café the place where everybody knows your name and you know that you are always welcome. We are celebrating our third year in business at 444 Centre Street in Middleboro, Massachusetts.
