note that they take CASH ONLY, but it is well worth it. Famous amongst locals, and on many Sundays they have old-fashioned car shows out front. If you forget your cash, they will just smile and take an IOU note and let you bring back your cash before the end of the day. True local hangout, best coffee in the country... in our opinion :).
