Williston's comic shop has a new name and new doughnuts after the sudden departure of Twisted Halo in late December. Now called Old Town Café & Comics, the café within the multipurpose business at 31 Cottonwood Drive, Suite 106, is open with an expanded menu coming soon. Ben Perry and his wife, Kelsey, purchased the comics side of the business from founder Rory Malone when it was still Champion Comics & Coffee. They previously had a partnership/sale agreement with Twisted Halo's Emma Slater and Taylan Hagen — who ran the café from last summer until they moved out at the end of 2024 — but now own the shop in its entirety, Perry told Seven Days. (Twisted Halo's doughnut business and café in Waitsfield remain open.) The Perrys have hired chef Paul Truman and plan to launch a full breakfast and lunch menu in February. In the meantime, the Old Town team is offering drinks from Vermont Artisan Coffee & Tea and doughnuts from Burlington's Miss Weinerz Thursday through Sunday. "Comic books, coffee and doughnuts — that's just a no-brainer," Perry said. "We really don't have another space like this in Vermont, and now we have synergy between the two sides. It should provide nothing but smiles." Liquor license pending, Old Town will also add beer from Burlington Beer, Perry said. He hopes that the shop, with tabletop role-playing games and card games, brings customers in after work to "blow off some steam and play a game," he said.
