We absolutely love this café.
This little historical cafe is at the center of the upper Mckenzie river. There is so much history here and the owners are doing an amazing job keeping it alive. Great food, great service. Everything you would expect from a family owned cafe. Highly recommend you take the short trip up the Mckenzie and try this family owned cafe.

Our server was great! Friendly and courteous. Food was good and served hot. Prices were reasonable to today’s dining experience. Restaurant/dining area is small and decorated in a minimalist, non flashy style with some historical photos for reference, as well as local art for purchase.

Super adorable place! The burgers we had were juicy and flavorful. The wait time wasn’t bad, prices were fair and the waitress was super kind.
I WAS a little surprised I had no phone service there, and no wifi, it made me a little uncomfortable, should someone need to reach me. But I still LOVED eating there 🙂

I don’t just give out 5⭐️’s. I had the BMP Omlette with hash browns, SD toast & a small pancake with my coffee.
The service was quick & friendly! Check ins for coffee refills were right on time & the had siratcha! Hash browns were crispy on the outside & my omelette was packed just right with Bacon, Mushrooms & topped with Pepperkack cheese. This will be my spot once winter starts again!

Great service, okay food. Our server was very friendly and helpful, and there was no wait. The breakfast was very basic and average – not much to be desired but we did eat most of our meals

We came here looking forward to a simple breakfast but ended up walking out instead. I asked if I could add mushrooms to my omelette, and the waitress not only told me I couldn’t, but also said I wasn’t even allowed to order mushrooms as a side. When I asked why, the response came off rude and dismissive rather than helpful.
It’s one thing if a restaurant has menu limitations, but it’s another to make the customer feel unwelcome for making a reasonable request. The lack of flexibility, paired with the attitude, was enough for us to cancel our order and leave.
If you’re looking for a place with friendly service and a willingness to accommodate, I’d suggest trying somewhere else.
Thank you for your reply, but I think it’s important to clarify what really happened. I asked if mushrooms could be added to my omelette or at least ordered on the side. I wasn’t “picking apart” the menu, I just didn’t understand why something so simple wasn’t allowed. I also politely asked about outdoor seating because there’s no sign posted that it isn’t available — that was just a question, not a demand.
What I didn’t appreciate was the rude and dismissive way these things were handled. Instead of being met with basic courtesy, I was treated like I was a problem. That’s why we canceled our order and left.
Your reply here, telling me not to come back, only proves my point about how poorly customers are treated. A little respect and professionalism go a long way.

Had the chicken fried steak….it’s to die for! In house hand breaded steak! The flavor of the steak and gravy was phenomenal! This was my first time here and I travel a TON, so I always get chicken fried steak wherever I go. This here is now on my top 2 I’ve EVER had!

Just your regular diner atmosphere and food but it was prepared with care. I can tell the people working here enjoy what they do and the wait staff was very friendly. I got a side of krinkle cut fries and they were nice and crispy and a very large portion. The breakfast burrito was also really good and very large. I took the leftovers home and had two more delicious meals.

We stop at the Vida Cafe whenever we travel up the McKenzie!! I lived in Vida back in the 60’s. I remember the old Vida Cafe and the Cline’s. Their breakfasts are excellent!! I highly recommend! I had the veggie omelette. Best I’ve ever had!!

We had a job down the road at the covered bridge . We would eat breakfast here every day for weeks .the food was always good and the waiters were very friendly. I would recommend that you stop by and have a bite . I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.
