Great breakfast place -- about half an hour from us in East Burke, but well worth the drive, especially if you take the scenic route past Lake Willoughby. Located in on an old school house with high ceilings and huge, light-filled windows, local art, and comfy seating. It's right in the center of East Burke -- gateway to Burke Mountain ski area and Kingdom Trails mountain biking.
