We were in the area for Lassen Volcanic National Park during the Thanksgiving break, not realizing…read morethat the park was basically shut down for the winter/wet season. (Park roads were closed but we were welcome to park in their lot and walk in to the trails.) That said, there was a lot less traffic in the area, so understandably, The Elegant Farmer had a limited menu so they don't end up with a lot of wasted food. We enjoyed the food and would have liked to sit outdoors, but the property next door had a huge bonfire going and it was very smoky. At first it was tolerable, but then the wind shifted and blew it towards us, so we ended up sitting indoors. This is not a negative review for the business, more so for our timing. We plan on coming back to Lassen Park to enjoy all the hiking once it opens back up in spring/summer, so we look forward to trying The Elegant Farmer again. It's a darling store/eatery, and the outdoor seating is charming. I recommend you try it out if you're in the area.

The moment you walk in, you're hit with the cozy scent of room sprays, bubble baths, fresh flowers, and candles. It's cute, flowery, plant-filled, and totally homey. Inside, there are handcrafted vases and unique decor pieces -- like a mini boutique-meets-café vibe. The outdoor seating area is surrounded by lush plants, with umbrellas for shade. So peaceful! The highlight: FIREWOOD PIZZA. They literally toss it into the flames and pull it out perfectly crispy and smoky. Delicious! When we visited, there was a big table set up for an art workshop -- women in flowy summer dresses painting and chatting. The whole vibe was like a dreamy summer afternoon. We didn't plan to come here, but it ended up being one of the best stops of our trip. Highly recommend if you're anywhere near Chester

So disappointed with the new updates :( This place used to be a huge staple for our family but…read moresince they ripped out all of the charm and character, it has felt cold and unfriendly. The gifts are the same as every other shop on Main Street and it has lost its value for ice cream and shopping. We've only gone to the Pine Shack since, much cheaper and still a great place to be. Not everything needs to be millenial grey and sad.

Despite that, this place is just chock full of beautiful furniture and home goods to make you feel all woodsy and warm.
