“This is the best breakfast dessert i have ever had. Had to get it 2 days in a row.”
Kugarb
“We came to the cafe this morning and had a fantastic experience! Our waitress was friendly and the dining room was clean and comfortable. I ordered the Wisconsin cheesesteak omelette with hash browns and sourdough toast. My partner had the gyro omelette. We both were impressed by the generous portions and especially the amount of meat in our omelettes. My omelette's flavor was delicious with the melted swiss and beef. I also ordered a pancake which was sweet and very good! Everything about our experience this morning was great! It was our first time eating here. Now that we know, we'll be making this a regular stop. We'll have to try the lunch next time!”

“Best patty melt/burger I've ever had. The whole family got burgers and stated it was the best burger they've ever had. Glad we were able to make it up there for lunch after a hike. Hidden gem of this area!!”
