The Cranberry Thistle will entertain your taste buds and your ears with good food, good friends, and good times. Known by locals as “Jonesborough’s Favorite Gathering Place” they offer specialty coffees, frozen fruit drinks, pastries, pies, cakes, soups, sandwiches, beans and cornbread.

Soup beans & fried cornbread is one of the favorite items on the menu as
well as chicken salad sandwiches with homemade Cranberry Chutney, not
to mention some of the best sirloin burgers in the entire area.

We have a large Astoria Espresso machine and make lots of cappuccino's &
Latte's etc... People can just sit back relax & hava a cup of Joe or one of Joe's
famous Desserts, read a book, play checkers or check your e-mail on WiFi.

Enhance your dining experience with live music on the weekends and storytelling on Tuesdays by the Jonesborough Storyteller’s Guild. Please check website for dates and times. Maybe our resident ghost will show herself or maybe not.
