Daily Crack - Cafe Beaujolais
For those traveling or for those staying put, Café Beaujolais is a must visit. Located in Mendocino California this bakery/French restaurant, is a long time standing tradition with most my friends who live in N. California, S.F, and Santa Cruz. You can’t visit Mendocino and not make the Café Beaujolais stop either for baked goods or if you’re lucky a sit down meal, lunch or dinner. Your trip to Mendocino would just not be complete. Thankfully, for the rest of us and even those Californian’s who can’t frequent Mendocino, they have an online store with a select few items. So if you start dreaming of open skies, beautiful N. California coastal sunsets, and this fabulous restaurant, and you just can’t get the thought of Café Beaujolais out of your head, you don’t have to. There is still an outlet to supply you with a small taste of something wonderful.
Café Beaujolais has been a favorite of mine for many years. And for those east coasters, mid-westerners, travelers from around the world who haven’t heard of the restaurant, it you’re planning a trip to N.California to see the Avenue of the Giant redwood trees, or to visit wine country in Sonoma or Napa, Mendocino is not so far away. Mix up your trip a bit and do something a little different, and take the time and make the stop. You won’t regret it!
If you do make the decision and go to Mendocino and you want to enjoy lunch or dinner at Café Beaujolais, you will find your plate served with a bevy of delicacies. Café Beaujolais uses mostly organically grown produce, and free range chicken and beef. For fish lovers, the fish is either line caught or farmed seafood, and for vegetarians there is always something special besides the smell of their wonderful herbs and the use of the freshest vegetable’s and ingredients. Café Beaujolais makes a point each day of listing on their menu the local farmers and fisherman who supplied them that day with the ingredients to fix your meal.
Now for the online store.: Café Beaujolais is especially known for their Panforte, but I can also vouch for their Granola, Hot Chocolate, and Blackberry Jam. I’ve tried them all. Actually I can’t imagine any item they sell not being exceptional.
If any of this has peaked your interest, or made your nose twitch or your mouth water, check out the Café Beaujolais website. If you’re traveling to California file this away for that trip, if you have friends about to visit California pass the tip along, if you have no plans to go to California check out their Online Store, and if you live in California, just find a way to get there.
