The entire cafe has a cozy diner setup with plenty of seating. We decided to start the day with a simple bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich as well as a hot chocolate. The food was quickly prepared and brought to us. The hot chocolate was rich and warm while the sandwich was light yet filling. The cafe also offers boxed lunch options for the road which is a terrific option for travelers and visitors hitting the trail like us. My only complaint is that they were only open from Thursday to Monday, because I would easily return every morning!

The interior is quite claustrophobic, but there are tables set up outside giving the opportunity to enjoy the open air. While the coffee and hot chocolate we ordered was fine, the breakfast sandwiches were phenomenal. It is a quite limited menu, but they make the most of the options available for food. It was fairly busy when we stopped in which leads me to believe this is a pretty frequently visited early morning stop, and I can definitely see why.

Located in an old home, it is quaint and clean. We ordered a Turkey Sandwich and due to the size, we decided to split the sandwich which was a good decision.

I love homemade bread and it was perfect for my crab sandwich. Very good seafood chowder! I am a big milk drinker and it was ice cold - perfect. I will be bringing next year's tour here for a meal!
