About
⚠️ TEMPORARILY CLOSED — long-term construction, no reopening date. On A Lark closed unexpectedly at the beginning of September 2025 and has been rebuilding since. Per the owners on Instagram: the required detention pond and new septic system are in (David R. Haas Excavating), materials are on site for a new well (Winegar Well Service), a new turn lane off Burning Tree Square is in the works, and in August 2026 they put out a community ask for donated boulders for the outdoor patio's retaining wall. The owners have said the project includes a drive-through coffee window and tap room. Follow their social media for reopening news.
