    Brookdale Cafe & Grill is a mandatory stop for me when I'm riding the motorcycle northbound on highway 9. I'm also going to award five stars. The first star is for personality and service. Staff is super duper friendly Second star is for location. This is typically mile 120 for my ride, so the absolute last rest stop before the haul home. Third star is because of the amazing playlist they always have going when I come in. First time I came in, I felt like I was one of the good fellas, and Tony was going to Pat me on the shoulder telling me whatever I need, they got me. Second time I came in I feel like they were playing my exact Spotify playlist. Personal. Fourth star because the food (avocado bacon burger with fries) it's always so perfect. Don't tell anybody but I think it's the best value ever. Juicy burger, thick bacon, fresh avocado, perfect fries. Fifth star because the ambience is spot on 1950s shake shack kind of place This is definitely a place on my map. I look forward to always visiting this place and I hope that it lasts!

Treating customers like this will not generate income and if the guy wasn't so aggressive and almost starting a fight I'd be reporting him to management. I definitely wouldn't come here again and absolutely shouldn't be worried about someone trying to start a fight while browsing in a grocery store.

I came across a different…read morebrand of potato chip which I hadn't seen before called Hardbite and walked out with a bag of Black Truffle and a bag of Sweet Ghost Pepper. Pretty unique flavors that aren't that easy to find elsewhere. It's right next to Johnnie's Super, so you can park your car in either location and check out both stores at the same time. Pretty convenient! Honestly, almost everything in the town of Boulder Creek is all in that one clump. You could totally grab a drink at Wild Roots or Johnnie's and sip away while checking out antiques at Boulder Creek Antiques nearby. Wild Roots does seem to be a chain as I noticed another one in neighboring Felton. For me personally that's not an issue but if you're a stickler for "local" local then you might want to try other stores.
