A very nice café with friendly service. The atmosphere is pleasant. Delicious breakfast items. The cake looked good enough to eat. The stop was worth it.

Update April 2026 - Trail is fully rideable again and a lot of fun! Stay left after the river (before the gravel path) so you don't miss anything!
