Loved the vegetarian food. The ambience was great and it was surreal to have all this in the mountains!
Real cheeseburgers! Like homemade stuff! Comfortable place and the staff is attentive. And they're nice people!
Had an excellent hamburger here at the Cafe. The view from our table was priceless.
