Northmere, Vermont • Local Landmark • Lucy’s Favorite Gathering Place
Maren’s Diner is one of Northmere’s oldest and most familiar establishments, known for its chipped blue sign, warm wooden interior, and the scent of fresh bread and coffee that greets visitors the moment they step through the door. Locals gather here for comfort food, conversation, and the steady presence of its long time owner, Maren, whose sharp wit and generous spirit shape the diner’s welcoming atmosphere.
For Lucy Pendragon, the diner holds a special place in her heart. It is where she spent quiet mornings before school, shared countless meals with friends and neighbors, and returned to after long days at Pendragon’s Nook.
More than a restaurant, the diner serves as a gathering point for the town, a space where stories are exchanged, friendships deepen, and the rhythm of Northmere life is felt most clearly. Its light, its hum, and its familiar faces mark it as one of the emotional centers of the community Lucy has always called home.
Maren’s Diner is a fictional location created for the Lucy Pendragon series.
