Fantastic service and quality breakfast all around pre-zip line adventures. It was a delight to be one of a handful of groups at Howard's on a Monday and really get to enjoy the atmosphere and staff. Highly recommend anything on the menu from food to beverage. More

A wonderful place for a hearty breakfast. Friendly service and good food. Portions are large, and it is a cash only restaurant. More

This is one of my favorite places on earth to eat....though I hesitate to tell anyone else about it since it's already packed most of the time. I have the same thing every time -- the vegetarian omelette. I think the secret is that they roast their vegetables so the flavor is out of this world! And the seasoning on... More

Ok, not gonna lie. When coming from a big city, I was pretty nervous driving into Occidental. They literally have about 3 places to eat-- and 1 row of civilization before you head into the woods. I was nervous, but so pleasantly surprised when i went into Howards Cafe and Juice bar. The quality of food is outstanding, with gluten... More

Iced tea is served in mason jars, great chicken salad, lovely big salads. Jar pies were visible in the baked goods case. A cute, funky place... More
