A convenient feature of the café is that you can order ahead online.

I really like the Brushy Creek Café
because it’s really yummy and it has
really nice outdoor seating and I also
really like the people who run it because
the service is good. My favorite drink is
the vanilla chai latte and my favorite
thing to eat is the waffles with fruit and
whipped cream.
