I had the pleasure of a road trip
with M last weekend.
We visited friends in North Georgia.
On our way home,
driving through Mentone, Alabama
we stopped for lunch at
the Wildflower Cafe.
What a treat!
We were there in time for their Sunday Brunch.
While waiting for our table,
look what we discovered
was part of the dessert menu!
Hummingbird Cake!!!
Karma...we're at the right place!
We had the "Brunch Extravaganza for Two"
and I HIGHLY recommend their
Tomato Pie.
Back to those desserts...
Of course we HAD to try the Hummingbird Cake.
Because the brunch was so huge we ordered
a slice to go.
The waiter brought it in a nice little box
but we asked if he would bring us a plate
so we could take a picture.
He accommodated us with a choice of
three different plates.
How many busy waiters
would go to that sort of effort???
The restaurant touts itself as "hippy-chic"
and with one step through the front door,
it makes perfect sense.
The art work on the walls was for sale.
They also have an eclectic collection of
craftsman made items for sale including
pottery, clothing, toys, carved wood,
jewelry, jams, and soaps.
All that in addition to
a strolling musician playing
the guitar, taking requests
and getting foodies to sing along.
The Wildflower Cafe was voted the
"Best Cafe in Alabama"
by readers of ALABAMA MAGAZINE
in 2015.
It was also featured in the book,
"THE SOUTHERN FOODIE:
100 PLACES TO EAT IN THE SOUTH
BEFORE YOU DIE."
The grounds of the restaurant are of interest too.
So, it you have a bit of a wait, do a little exploring!
We did dig into the Hummingbird Cake
later that evening.
Yum.
This was the first time I have tasted one
and it confirms my choice for our
was a good one!

The only thing wrong with this post was that I wasn't there with you, LOL. What a charming out of the box place to eat . . . I love it. Thanks for letting us tag along.
Have a sweet weekend.

Susan, Your blog, and pictures make this look like a wonderful "out of this world" place! Thanks for sharing it. How about the special coincidence of their Hummingbird Cake for dessert?! That photo makes my mouth water! Miss you, Evelyn
That looks like such a fun place to visit. Bonus that you get FOOD too! Wonderful. Thank you for telling us about this great little out-of-the way restaurant.

I was at this place last week. This is such a joy as a place for food! I had a beautiful time here. It reminded me of another event space Atlanta in the city. A beautiful, wonderful place that had excellent atmosphere.
