    Such a cute cafe. Briefly stopped in to grab some caffeine before hitting the shops and it was…read morebeautiful inside. Would love to come back and experience more of their menu.

We were seated immediately on a Friday at around 1pm. I love their vegetarian options but this is a place that assumes if you are a vegetarian, that you like and must have onions and mushrooms in every meal. I couldn't find much other than pancakes/pastries/sweet shit that didn't have onions and mushrooms but fortunately, they were able to accommodate my request for the tofu scramble without onions or mushrooms. GF ordered the vegetarian quesadilla with, you guessed it, onions and mushrooms (among other things). My tofu scramble was good but calling it a scramble is slightly misleading as it is actually tofu cubes albeit very crispy and tasty tofu cubes. This dish was probably potatoes. A few spinach leaves and maybe 1/100th of a pepper. I will concede to the fact that some of that volume might have been taken up by mushrooms and onions. The dish was very good regardless and the accompanying salsa added a really nice extra je ne sais quoi. I also really like the pay first and then leave whenever you want model to avoid being held hostage to bad service not to say that they would've provided bad service but it is a risk anywhere. Regarding GF's quesadilla which I did not have the pleasure of sampling bc of onions of mushrooms "I thought it was decent". When I asked if she had any details or specifics to add, she replied, "no".

I got the eggs with the steak, and everything was delicious! The eggs were slightly overcooked, but there was still enough run in them for me to enjoy. The potatoes were perfect!! Just soft enough and really well seasoned. My fiance got the French toast, and it was really delicious. He said the bacon was perfect and balanced it very well. A little pricy, but that isn't too surprising in a mostly tourist area.

    We loved this unique and fun little place, with all the old pictures on the wall. It's set up like…read morean old country store with seating on the front porch, and inside as well. If you navigate from the Visitor's Center, it is conveniently located like 5 minutes away. Parking is very limited, but like others have said, if you wait a few minutes, someone will leave. We ate inside because I wanted to look at all the pictures and stuff on the walls. Stormy was an amazing server. She attended to our every need, and helped us with directions to where we were going. We both had the brisket sandwich, and I can't say enough about this brisket. Perfectly smoked, moist on the inside, and the PERFECT amount of crisp char on the outside to give it a little crunch. It's topped in battered onions. My hubby had a side of the Mac and cheese with his, and I was jealous that I didn't get any. It looked perfectly gooey and incredibly cheesy! If I could do more than five stars I would!
