My dad likes the cinnamon rolls, but I haven't tried one. My kids and I always try to stop for lunch because their sandwiches are made on yummy homemade-style bread. I don't think they're open for dinner, but they have all the basic coffee house items: sandwiches, salads, soup, cookies, etc. Also, on the way back to the freeway, we try to stop in the strip mall for some Loard's Ice Cream. Considering the wasteland this area is for good food, these two places make a decent stop. Common Ground 121 W. Wood St., Willows, CA Thu Apr 12 09:09:12 -0700 2007 90881 WineJones 1 2476604 Thanks! One mile isn't that far to try something as an alternative to Starbucks.

They have really good beef and lamb on old Hwy 99 south of downtown. Wed Apr 18 20:48:08 -0700 2007 2474001 14128 BN1
