Our Roots
Housed in what was for generations the family-run Bond Fruit & Dairy Stand, the Stonecat Café has a rich history of connecting the community to healthy, locally grown ingredients. Founded in 1999, the Stonecat Café is a leader in the farm-to-table movement in the region.
Food is Life
Our owner and founder, Scott Signori, believed passionately that food is life and how we choose to nourish our bodies has a direct connection to and impact on our communities. When we feed our bodies with vibrant fun food, grown locally and sustainably, we sustain the soul of our community helping local farms and businesses to thrive. Scott passed away in late 2021, leaving a lasting legacy of passion for good food, wine and scotch. His character, integrity and kindness live on in the Hector community and beyond.
Continuing the Mission
Today, the Stonecat Café continues to be owned by the Signori family and is managed by a team of restaurant professionals, all proud to have been Scott's friend and have worked at the Stonecat in previous years. Staying true to our original mission, we are threading sustainability through all aspects of our operations. We partner with more than 20 regional farms to source high-quality, fresh organic ingredients to satisfy your hunger and numerous local wineries, breweries and distilleries to quench your thirst. We ensure equitable pay and shared tips for all we employ and strive to reduce our environmental footprint and keep menu prices reasonable, while still providing our guests with the same amazing food experience.
Four Ways to
Enjoy Stonecat Cuisine
The Café
We operate under a semi-service model, where you choose your own seat in one of our five dining areas and place your order with our friendly staff in our guest services area. Your drinks and meal are delivered to you. If you want to order another round of drinks, more items from the menu or dessert, you can order and pay at your table or head back to the counter to have our helpful staff assist you. We do not accept reservations and indoor and deck seating is available on a first come, first seated basis. We can accommodate parties of 8 or less.
