Very cool store and place for breakfast. Good food, egg Benedict slightly over salted, good cafe latte. Will recommend to anyone. Thank you.
Okay. Unexpected. Night a bunch of persimmons and chestnuts. I got an omelette. Kathy got the Thai bowl. Oh so good! Cool history photos on the walls. Very clean.
I got a make my own veggie omelette and it was really good. Big enough that I had what I couldn't eat, for dinner! I recommend this place. My friend got an apple pie filled maple bacon donut that was sooooo good!
Great place to stop for breakfast or lunch, or a coffee/ice tea to go.Ordrred breakfast for my wife and I---it tasted so fresh, with fresh squeezed orange juice.had chicken and waffles and wife had a breakfast burrito.Very efficient wait staff, very friendly. Plenty of parking. Easy access from Hwy 299 or 101 Freeway.They also have fresh farm produce available, every thing tasted farm fresh! They even had a corner for children to play and my 5 year old granddaughter loved the children's kitchen and toys! We will definitely return to McIntosh Farm Country Store the next time we are visiting the area!( we were traveling from the Redding area!)
Super good food, great selection of drinks ! And don't get me started on the donuts! Everything is SERIOUSLY DELICIOUS. I recommend the country fried steak.

McIntosh Farm Country Store is what I would call a national treasure. Yelppers did well by highly recommending this place. What you should know: 1) There is both a regular and (not so) secret menu offering something for everyone. Portions are generous and some items like their Train Wreck breakfast sandwich are big enough to share. I mentioned I was a first timer and was looking for something less filling. They recommended the "Mini-Man" and that was perfect. 2) Value. Menu items are reasonably priced considering the portion sizes. 3) They have coffee and a full line of espresso drinks. The mocha they made for me hit the spot! 4) I was greeted by a nice fellow and explained that I was passing through town, He took time to suggest something that I was able to finish. The cashier was also friendly along with the young man who brought me my food and coffee. 5) They have a corner for children to pretend they are working in a kitchen. 6) Check out the old photos on their wall.
How did I not know this place was here?! It's entrance and signage is humble, so I'm gonna go with that. Not a stand-out look, but definitely a stand-out place! First thing to know: they sell farm fresh produce as well as various canned/bottled drinks and snacks. The breakfast menu looks pretty good, but in addition to the printed menu, there is a handwritten chalkboard menu (the secret menu!) with all of the daily specials. And there are many! I learned that they will customize sandwiches and salads to satisfy whatever you want. When I arrived, a gentleman approached me and asked if I would like to see a menu, and then realizing I have not been there before, took the time to explain the menu and the additional items that were on the board and I really appreciated his help and kindness. I chose the trainwreck breakfast burrito and asked if they could cut it in half since I would be sharing and they were very happy to do so and without my having asked, even wrapped the two halves separately which was very thoughtful and helpful. This burrito has hash brown potatoes, country gravy, American cheese, bacon, and scrambled egg on it, and was very large and quite delicious. The house made donuts greet you at eye level on the counter (devious marketing ) so they could not be resisted. I ordered three of those, a bacon/maple, a chocolate, and a blackberry. These are raised donuts, almost crueller-like and absolutely beautiful. The chocolate glazed didn't do much for me - (seemed to be missing something in the glaze today; sugar maybe?), but I found both the bacon/maple and blackberry to be some of the best donuts I've had. Really great five star experience - I will be back!
Great local spot! Staff was soo nice! Quick to serve after ordering. Biscuits were unique, they toasted them before topping with bacon gravy. Benedict was non traditional, lots of ham.
