About White Mountain Café

The White Mountain Café is owned by Matt Bowman, Jenna Bowman, and Doug Mayer, three local residents with a strong love of the outdoors, great coffee, and wholesome foods!

Together, Matt and Jenna have a combined 25 years of experience in both baking and mountain hospitality. Matt and Jenna met while Matt was leading volunteer trail crews out of AMC's Camp Dodge backcountry volunteer facility. Jenna baked and cooked hearty meals for the many trail crew volunteers.

Later, Matt and Jenna purchased the Jackson Village Bakery & Café (formerly As You Like It Bakery & Cafe) in nearby Jackson, which they ran for 5 years. Jenna is an expert baker and renowned wedding cake designer. She takes special pride in her handmade scones, cookies and cakes.

Matt is the founder of the Mount Washington Valley Velo Bicycling Club, member of modern jazz-rock trio Calico Slim, AMC Storehouse Manager, AVSAR member, and former Harvard Cabin Caretaker.

Matt and Jenna are both avid cyclists, hikers, runners, cross country skiers, alpine snowboarders, technical rock and ice climbers, and very proud parents.

Doug Mayer has a long association with the White Mountains, having worked at the Mount Washington Observatory and the Randolph Mountain Club. He currently serves as Trails Co-Chair of the Randolph Mountain Club, is on the board of the Waterman Alpine Stewardship Fund, and is an active wilderness EMT with AVSAR, the local mountain rescue team. Doug enjoys trail running, backcountry skiing, kayaking, hiking and cycling.

Matt, Jenna and Doug welcome you to the White Mountain Café, and to the northern White Mountains! Whether you are a longtime resident, passing Appalachian Trail thru-hiker, hiker, skier or just looking for a healthy breakfast or lunch to go, we hope you'll drop by and say hello!
