Stopped here by chance before heading off backpack...

Stopped here by chance before heading off backpacking the trail loop over the next 6 days, and the thought of coming back and being able to experience their breakfast again might have been the only thing keeping our group going. We all had the Tom Cat the first time, and everything was absolutely perfect. When we returned that Saturday it turned out they had a buffet. Right when I thought their breakfast couldn't get any better, it did. The spread was amazing, and unlike most buffets the quality of food didn't suffer at all with the increased quantity. Plus they had pie on the buffet! Who does that? Most amazing place I've ever been, and will definitely return if I have the chance. And yes, they did use paper plates and cups for the buffet, but it's a small cafe in a mountain town with limited staff. It makes things easier for them to clean up more quickly and serve customers better. I don't understand why that is such a problem.
