Milford's Best Businesses Of 2020: Readers Speak

MILFORD, NH — Last month, Patch in Milford asked readers to offer some thoughts about local businesses who had gone above and beyond for customers in the community.

The year 2020 has been a difficult one for everyone but businesses are doing everything they can to help customers and stay afloat during the pandemic.

Papa Joe's Humble Kitchen on South Street was praised by two readers: "Great food, great staff. Willing to accommodate in any way," said Eric, while John added, "Fine foods - great recipes well-prepared and presented for take-out."

Rich praised 603 Grill on Elm Street saying, "The owners and staff have worked very hard through the covid crisis to maintain their high standards of service, and through all the difficulties, they've continued to have the most friendly and welcoming atmosphere."

Trombly Gardens on North River Road was also praised.

"They have really stepped up their game during the pandemic," said Sarah, a customer. "Their daily videos showing their offerings of fresh produce, baked goods, homemade ice cream, homemade donuts, farm petting zoo, etc. are a God send. They offer phone ordering and curbside pickup. They are also offering Thanksgiving meals and homemade pies. Amazing, family-owned operation."

Reader Martha gave kudos to The County Stores on Nashua Street, calling it "remarkable," and Creative Ventures Gallery, for not only being an art gallery but also providing studio rental space for artists and more importantly art classes for students of all ages by professional working artists.

Others receiving accolades include Island Bowls LLC, My Sister's Kitchen, and Doggie Day Bag & Spaw.
