    Amazing breakfast this morning at The Old Post Office Cafe after a hike to Monkey Rock. My husband had the Country Fried Steak, potatoes, eggs, sourdough toast and bacon. I had scrambled eggs (well done), potatoes, sourdough toast and bacon. My entree was perfect and the bacon was outstanding! My husband said the fried steak was too crunchy but he enjoyed everything else. I loved the atmosphere and history of the building. Service was great and the food was spot on for me!
