It is a nice place run by a family, they are cash only. The food is okay, it is very basic. I liked it but not for the food
Great local restaurant. Delicious breakfast. We had the California omelette, greek breakfast scramble and spinach and mushroom scramble. Hashbrowns were quite nice. Gluten free pancakes. Very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend this place if you are in the area.
My spouse & I spent a week camping nearby. We ate breakfast at this cafe 3x that week. We had been there a few years ago, and loved it. Well, the cafe still serves delicous food! We received great service too! Malcolm was our waiter a couple of times and he was great! Sam, another waitress, was so personable, bubbly and nice! We loved sitting at the same table and enjoyed all the staff. The eggs and bacon was cooked perfectly. We were apprehensive that this cafe wouldn't be as good as it was years ago, but it was. The only suggestions I have is 1) get real menus. They have photocopied menus and the photocopy is poor. It creates a negative appearance, and 2) they are suppose to be open everyday (per Google), but we arrived on a Wednesday and they were closed. So, that wasn't great. Either Google hasn't been updated or it was just closed for some other reason. Other than that, all is good.
Great breakfast place! Pancakes are big and fluffy. Several specialty Benedict dishes. Service was friendly and helpful. Food was delicious.
Came from orange county. We got recommended by an event activity we did near by. We looked around and came to this place. Lady said no fast food chain. I got a burger as you see and boy come check it out. Give it a 8/10 on burger. Lady got toast but before I took photo she destroyed it. Also got a mini tour of place. Their doing recyclable plates so don't expect fancy.. come for the view and smell of pine tree.
The food here is fantastic! Huge portions of homemade and mouth watering food. The staff was very friendly from the time I walked in. Quaint little off the road cafe with outside seating available. Dog friendly. Very affordable as well. Cash or check only but they do have an ATM available. If you're in the area you must stop in and give it a try.
CASH ONLY……….. (ATM) on premises. Had the breakfast. Taste is about average with portion size above average. Cost is very reasonable for the area. This an older style building with outside seating. Inside seating also available. Parking lot can be congested and entry road is a tight squeeze for two vehicles. I recommend it.
