    "Miles from nowhere, I guess I'll take my time, oh yeah, to reach there."* The lyric from Cat…read moreStevens' song played in my head as we drove through open farm land for a 22 mile round trip detour from the turnoff on Highway 20 and back again to that same spot. The reason for the 11 miles in to Willow Creek Cafe and 11 miles back again on the last day of vacation was a piece of pie. Seriously. Do we regret it? Only that we bought just one piece to go. As we shared the slice of delectable berry pie at home that night we kicked ourselves for not buying a whole one. Or at least one slice each of the several kinds they had for sale. So this fan review is for the pie and the nice people who sell it at the cafe. Also I can share that it smelled wonderful in there and the owner told me they had just cooked up a batch of clam chowder, the soup of the day on that Friday in late afternoon preparing for the dinner folks. How it is that people make a go of a small business like this literally miles from nowhere, it is after all 11miles from the center of the remote little town of Vale, Oregon, is a mystery. In particular since all around is evidence of declining population and shuttering businesses in Vale itself. But the nice couple who own this cafe now purchased it as recently as 2015, I think, so they must see opportunity there for people to find and eat their good food. The convenience store associated with the cafe has shelves with minimal stocking. So while I couldn't say one should drive out of their way to pick something up there, the pie sure is great. Rumor is they have good home cooking too for breakfast, lunch and dinner. If past performance is a predictor of the future, I sure believe that based on having had the pie. Cat's song continues: 'Lord my body has been a good friend, but I won't need it, when I reach the end." I should have thought about THAT lyric in the song when I was so concerned about calories to limit myself to a measly shared piece of this great pie. I should have bought a whole one. Now you know better. THIS N THAT: 1) VIBE: See photos. Cozy country cafe meets local watering establishment. Quilts on walls and booths in the main room along with counter seating at a bar. I noted ads for happy hour and it appears they have been and wine. There is a room in the back with more seating at tables and chairs and booths along with a big TV and a pool table. I took a photo of that room but didn't post it because on the day of our visit the owner's brother was stretched out in one of the booths taking a nap after a day of hard work. While I thought that was endearing to see, and describe, I was pretty sure the guy might not find it so funny to see a photo of it on shared. 2) PARKING: Gravel lot. 3) ACCESSIBILITY: Convenience store is level in. One step up between convenience store and cafe. Main door of cafe is step up from parking lot. Side door of the cafe - to right of main - has ramp. However, that door is kept locked. If you need to use it you'll need to call ahead so they can unlock it or send someone in to ask for it to be unlocked. Once in, cafe is all on one level. Standard height seating options. Didn't check the loo. 4) WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW THE SONG?*: Here it is as sung by the talented and sexy Cat in a 1976 concert. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTmebIjKFwU

    So, Many asks us to ride with them to the former house, to drive 2 vehicles to here. They come to…read morepick us up and we all need to eat. There is a restaraunt about 20 miles from here, in route, so we're going to eat there. We go in, I notice there is a large group of 15 or 20 people. We sit down, order our food, the waitress is very nice, she brings us our drinks. So like an hour passes, we still don't have our food. Understand, I notice that the large group are finishing thier food. There is no cook in the kitchen. I very politely ask the other waitress, not ours, if the food will be ready soon because the kids really can't wait any longer. The waitress yells at me and says there was a large group before us and we would just have to wait. My blood boiled, I said you know what, those people have had there food for awhile and nobody's in the kitchen. She yells again and says you'll just have to wait. I said, nope, were not waiting any longer, you eat the food. I told everybody, let's go, I'm not eating here. Needless to say, we left. I was so mad, I still am. I'm seriously considering posting this on thier FB page
