Since August when we wrote about one-month-old Haven, it has become the most happening spot in Lenox. Owner Shelly Williams has created what feels very much like the town's highly-caffeinated social center. This Saturday, to encourage and thank folks for shopping locally, Williams will be giving out a free cups of drip coffee and a biscotti to anyone who comes to the café between 10 AM and 5 PM with a receipt from another Lenox merchant.
