OPEN NOW - Closes at 3:00pm

Went there few months ago. The remodel of the patio gave extraordinary views and outside dining. Owner was friendly and very responsive. Service was slow (short on waiters??) I ordered small breakfast plate (Price was right), but got small sausage and there could have been more food. I would have been willing to pay more for better plate.

New management meansthis is now a great restaurant!

Had the Patty-melt the Farmer's Omelet and the Cafe Burger. All eere excellent.

Bread baked fresh daily, great service and staff. Easy access too.

We'll be coming back again next year when we make our annual trek to Apple Hill for a Christmas tree.

04/28/2015 As the mother of a former employee: SUCH A BAD OWNER!!!! Sabrina is awful to her employee's, that can't seem to make her happy, even though they're trying to fulfill her crazy demands as she is understaffed and unorganized. She yells at them in front of customers, and when a customer says something to her, she starts yelling at the customer. She takes her portion of THE SERVERS tips, she's the owner, shame on her. She does NOT have dish soap in the back room, only degreaser, so it begs the question of how clean are the dishes and utensils. When my son was cleaning up the table, there was a little dish of mayo the customer asked for/ but didn't use, she told my son to put it back into the mayo jar. 1, it had been sitting on the table for almost an hour. 2. It was in the customer's hands. She said it was fine, put it back. He had food handling training, knew it wasn't right. My son was there 4 months, and was there the second longest of the employee's, she's simply abusive and unhealthy. He quit after that.



AS A CUSTOMER: I've been there twice, once in a group of 11, we all got our food in stages over a 1/2 hour, it was all cold. When I booked for the group, I said it was a birthday party, and when I brought cake, she started yelling during our Happy Birthday song, that we couldn't serve cake, it was illegal in the county. I checked the next day at the county, this was not true. She just wanted us to buy pie, which we didn't. The second time I went because someone asked to meet us there, and she was riding the range of irritability with another customer who stood up and was yelling back at her. He bought a piece of pie and coffee, and she overcharged him for the pie by over double. When he called her on it, she said it was more than the stated price, because it was organic. He said he didn't care, he was paying the price on the menu, and she said, "I have you card, you pay what I put on it." He grabbed his card from her hand, left, called the police from the parking lot. In the meantime, she's yelling about it to other customers while we're eating lunch. The police came out, she started yelling at them. We left with half eaten lunches, and put a $20 tip in the servers pocket and said, "You keep that for YOU. and run fast and far from this place." Truly, a horrible woman.



She's remodeled the outside deck beautifully, it's for sale, SOMEONE please buy this place from her. It's a magical area, and she's the ogre gatekeeper to Apple Hill. STAY AWAY from this place, maybe she'll finally close and we'll get someone good in there. Would give minus 0 stars if I could. Locals know, don't go.

A delightful place! family owned and family-run, so you get the best service. We love to sit out in the back under the apple trees, with a wonderful view.



Good food.



Delightful pie



(My one objection, they call their best pie "fruits of the forest" but as a flatlander I find some flatland stuff in there and recommend they call it "fruits of the flatlands," but in any case TRY IT!)



Some of my most delightful eating experience has been at the Apple Cafe, a perfect place (expecially outise) for a long conversation with good friends.



If you don't have any good friend, hang out at the Apple Cafe and maybe you'll make some...?



Enjoy! And tell everybody so that the family-run Heart of America businesses don't get tsunamied out of existence by chains.



Thanks
