"Cutest little stand! I got delicious blueberry ice cream and a mocha as well as buying some fresh blueberries. Definitely worth the stop if you’re on your way into the park. Has a restroom. Sunflower picking too."
"Amazing place. Spectacular view. Great customer service at the coffee shop. A memorable experience of stopping by for a coffee on the way back home from Diablo Lake campsite."
"The home-base for Cascadian Farm products has become an attraction in its own right. Featuring a u-pick organic blueberry field (note the 5 lbs minimum), flower and garden starts, Cascadian farm dry goods, ice cream, coffee and sweet treats, this place has something for everyone! Except, perhaps, indoor seating. On a beautiful day in late July, I wouldn’t have sat inside even if it was an option, instead finding a seat in the lovely flower garden. I got the berry shortcake with whipped cream and added ice cream. When I was there, they had both raspberry and blueberry sauces available. After tasting both ice creams, I went for raspberry, which was a little more tart, and chose raspberry sauce to match. The sauce was perhaps the highlight, made with fresh organic berries and having just the right smack of tartness to balance out the sweet (also homemade) whipped cream. The cake was so buttery and dense, I had to work to cut it with the provided plastic spoon. It would probably be big enough to split, but since I was hungry I had no trouble putting it all away by myself!"
"We stopped here on our way home from Sun Mountain Lodge, caught the last glimpses of afternoon sun on a beautiful day. We enjoyed organic ice cream and the beautiful scenery at one of the picnic tables they had there. Lovely setting, great example of organic sustainable farming."
