I love this place and often go here on the weekends for breakfast, brunch or lunch. It is a great place to hang out right in the town of Strasburg and is less than 10 minutes away. I love their coffee (local), baked oatmeal with yogurt and fruit, the bacon, egg and avacado sandwhich and the peach, pear and apricot smoothie.
