cachagua general store

If you take the Carmel Valley Road, then a right on Cachagua, you'll drive up switchbacks and down winding roads. You'll view beautiful untouched lands, then come across the Cachugua General Store. There's a store on one side and a restaurant on the other. It's nothing fancy, it's very old. You'll find a woman with a young face and gray hair, her voice is like a Kewpie doll's if Kewpies could talk, she'll offer you some orange juice or coffee and a seat. Brunch has three options: eggs, omelets, and eggs benedict. Everything is fresh from the farm or garden. It comes with a side of pancakes, which are light and buttery. All for $15. The owner/chef is a genius and has the best kind of character you want in a man: honest, upfront, and doesn't take shit. You'll have the best time and hope to visit again for a Monday night dinner.
