Cozy Cafe in Mount Shasta, California I love a little stone building! The air was chilly, but sunshine was warming the outside garden area. We headed inside to see about lunch options. Coffee The little cafe had three rooms. The first room was all about coffee and ordering. We ordered and moved into the middle room. We would have sat by the boarded up fireplace, but the table was occupied by 3 policeman. I wish I'd been able to join in some of their socializing. The 3 policeman chatted up a storm with each other, as well as a number of locals who wandered over. One employee grabbed a baby from a customer and introduced the tot to the cooing officers. It was very entertaining. Soup, Salad and Sandwich We ordered just a light bite. Don had bean soup and BLT sandwich. I had a mixed green salad for less than 6 dollars. It was actually pretty tasty, along with a big, fat yeast roll, that made me feel I'd gone back to the grade school cafeteria. I mean that as a compliment. It was heavenly. Old House? I wondered about our little building as I looked out into the garden from a side window. Had this once been someone's private home? When we finished and stepped outside, I looked at the entrance and it looked more like a shop than a home. Old Grocery If our little cafe had not been so busy... or if there had been someone older than 30, who might have known some history... I would have asked. Instead, I crawled in the car and Googled. Our little cafe had been a grocery store!
Our teeny tiny dining adventure was a pleasant stop along our road trip. Our food was tasty and cheap. Our little stone building was pretty adorable!

The Dining Blog
This is a blog about Dining Adventures. Sometimes, I talk about food. Below, you can read how this started. On July 4th 2011, I set a goal to try 50 culturally diverse restaurants in one year! (I knew that was possible, living in the Houston area) I spent the year pulling in friends and family to join me, on some unusual dining adventures. I met some curious people, tried some scary foods and explored places and cultures I never would have otherwise. Even though I met my goal, I learned too much to end my adventures in dining. I have continued blogging about memorable dining adventures of all kinds, near and far... and all the discoveries and funny things I've learned along the way! Locations and types of dining adventures, are listed further down. Archives
