Chimacum Cafe

As part of John's belated birthday gift, I took him to the Chimacum Café which is about a 45 minute drive from Bremerton. A coworker told me about the place and said how big the portions were and how good their homemade pies are. Apparently, one woman makes all the pies and one of the favorites is the blackberry pie. Mind you, this pie is not made with the blackberries we saw all over the place here which are large and seedy. Her pie is made with the small and practically seedless blackberries which are now hard to find. While we didn't taste the pie, we did enjoy a delicious breakfast (I took home half of mine), and really loved the drive out there.

The drive to the small town of Chimacum gives the eyes a real treat. Driving north on Highway 3, you cross the Hood Canal Bridge, which is a highlight of the trip for me. The Olympics get a little closer and one gets a different view of them. You slowly wind your way down to the Beaver Valley and see wide open fields, some with small farms and cows, another one with bison. Jill sat in the backseat taking in the sights and smells and stared at the cows.

The Chimacum Café is not fancy. Rather, it is a casual atmosphere with good comfort food where our waitress kept our coffee mugs filled, and the kitchen served up some delicious breakfast fare. We plan to go back there again to try the lunch or dinner and some of that pie. Here's a good article about this nice little place.
