D.Rough and I were headed out of town and needed to grab some coffee and a snack for the road. The number one place from Trip Advisor was Café d’Marie – I’d never heard of it, but if everyone thinks it’s great, then we’d have to go there.
There’s a newspaper clipping just inside the door with the
history of the place – Dr. DeAnna Walter operated a chiropractic office out of
her home and would serve coffee, tea, and sometimes whatever she baked in her
kitchen in the waiting area. People began asking for more food items, and
within a few years, she hung up her chiropractor jacket and started a breakfast
and lunch place – and is KILLING IT!
It’s not a big place, so you may have to wait in the hall
way of her really beautiful house (literally) for a seat in the dining area,
but there are all kinds of coffee and tea options, scones, cakes, cookies, and
a bunch of amazing-looking quiches. We grabbed some coffees and a slice of
quiche, and then while we waited, we caved and got a slice of this really
attractive chocolate cake (somehow, I managed to talk myself out of the
signature bread pudding, which I still regret).
The quiche was even better than we expected, and we wolfed
that down pretty quickly, even though the slice was generous.
The chocolate cake was extremely moist and rich without
being overwhelming.
Overall, the people at Café d’Marie know how to work magic.
Give these folks a visit and you’ll be glad you did!
