We got egg sandwiches that were very good. On the negative side, the ambiance and service is like a Radio Shack: garbage on the ground, and no one at the counter to help you (I imagine they were understaffed when we were there). And on Sunday I wanted to make sure they were open at 7 on Monday morning--they assured me they would be, but when Monday rolled around they didn't open at all.

He happily accommodated my special dietary requests, preparing it exactly the way I like it--with fluffy eggs, delicious mushrooms, potatoes, and a perfectly crispy tortilla. Joel was engaging, friendly, and so much fun to talk with. He truly made my early morning even more enjoyable. After breakfast, I loved touring the beautiful grounds, and this was the perfect café to visit, conveniently located near my campsite. I will definitely be stopping by again the next time I come camping in Pinecrest, which is always one of my favorite vacation destinations. I highly recommend this café!

I like places that make you feel like you could be at your neighborhood spot, like you're a…read moreregular, even though you're not. This is one of those places. Stumbled upon this place when we were camping next door this summer. We can make our own coffee, but coming here was much more of an experience than just coffee. It's clearly family run and the young lady who took care of us was absolutely amazing to our kids. We came for one of the Wednesday night Jam sessions and it was awesome! The place just has energy that oozes small town, family and community. Coffees good too. We will be back and are also thinking about how we can take advantage of some of their group lodging options, perfect spot for Scout Troops.

This is hands down the best breakfast restaurant we've been to when visiting the area. My kids said…read morethe pancakes were light and fluffy with just thr right amount of sweetness. I am Southern and found their biscuit to be the best I've had west of the Mississippi River - OMG? I ate that whole thing. And when you have a choice between spuds or hash browns, do Yourself a favor and say spuds. The potatoes as well as the red onions and peppers were nicely browned with a wonderful seasoning...I ate them left over the next day with cheddar and pickled jalapeños - yum. The servers were all happy on a Saturday morning at 8:30 am! All they all had genuine smiles and were funny and kind. We were seated immediately outside and found it to be lovely once the sunshine found us. Try this place out for your next sit down breakfast or brunch!

We appreciated the heads up on that. I ordered the chicken sando and tots. Super delicious and the tots were crispy. The chicken was juicy and the avocado was spot on ripe. My wife got the bacon breakfast and I assume she loved it as she didn't say a word while digging in. My father in law got the Rueben, with sweet potato fries. He absolutely grubbed it. He asked for the fries extra crispy and they came out perfect. For a little place off the 108, in Mi Wii....its a little gem. It feels like a country kitchen and they do not skimp on serving. I highly recommend stopping in.

We ordered the braised lamb shank, grizzly burger with tillamook cheese and bacon, and the creme brulee for dessert. The grizzly burger was our favorite and we were too excited to try that I didn't catch a picture. Everything about this burger was perfect- the brioche bun was lightly toasted, garlic aioli not crazy strong but just the right impact, and really loved the added combination of the tillamook white cheddar and bacon. Yummm. Also the fries it comes with are perfect level of crisp. The braised lamb shank was also amazing. Cooked in a red wine reduction and sat on top of potatoes. Super tender and flavorful and a huge portion. For dessert we got creme brulee! The creme has a nice decadent sweetness. The broiled sugar was a little thicker than I'm used to but still very delicious. I recommend everything! But especially the burger, wish I could eat it again! Till next time!

My sister got the New York strip and it looked magnificent! Their bread pudding though had deceived me! It had a piece of bread in the middle of the pudding but overall it was very fun and nice to get out of the house even in my condition!
