Excellent Breakfast Stop In A Virtual Cellular Black Hole SITREP We all tried checking into this fantastic café. But whether we were on AT&T, Verizon or T-Mobile, there just was no cell phone coverage at the time. It could have just been the topography. The storm may have had something to do it with it too. Whatever the case, I found myself being the "First To Tip" to here, *quick subsequent edit* AND just found out FTR as well. Let's just say that business here is pretty local for the most part, with occasional random spillage from I-90 and HWY 3 (as was our case). THE SETUP In a sweet log cabin, this rustic adventure begins walking UP the stairs to this restaurant that sits upon it's log stilts. A very friendly wood finished environment greets you, from the walls, floors and chairs. Open & spacious, there is plenty of room to host a large bus group of elderly Indian casino bound slot-machiners heading out from Butte & Missoula, and heading to Coeur d'Alene Indian Reservation casinos. THANK GOD that wasn't THIS day, but our friendly waitress told us it could have been like over the weekend. *Note taken* THE BREAKFAST FARE Absolutely delicious options. There are your traditional breakfast fare options, which would put any Denny's to shame (and I don't mean that as insult since Denny's has provided a great oasis of friendly comfort in some really remotes areas on our trip), but that the food plates were large and very substantial. The two areas where they really featured some unique talents was in French Toast and Omelets: * Marty got the Blueberry Bread Pudding French Toast - what an amazing combination that also came with 2 eggs and 2 (really 4) big strips of bacon for $8.99. * I got the Mexi-Omelet (and huge Mexican Omelet with cheese & chili & salsa, along 4 pieces of Sourdough Toast and what I can only call whispy hash browns, since they were delicious, but much thinner per strand than what I am used to seeing at most Cafes. * To be honest, I forgot what uncle Gary had, but I think it was pretty boring considering what other amazing options presented themselves. ;) THE LOWDOWN Every now and then (though it seems to have been a few times every day this trip) in the backwoods of the Pacific Northwest, I will find a true gem like Rose Lake which may not have listing (or just a shell with no Yelp input whatsoever, as in the case of Rose Café) and I'm just happy I might be able to contribute some bit of information to fellow Yelpers who might be motivated to come and give their business to an establishment like this one that really deserves it.
