March First Sunday Breakfast

Post by Chuck » Mon Feb 19, 2007 10:49 am

Edit March 1: It will be the Blue Moon Diner, 512 W Main St, C'ville, 9 AM Sunday, March 4.


Sunday March 4 is coming up fast. Where do we meet? Probably best to stick east of the Blue Ridge for at least one more month. After scanning the breakfast spot thread I came up with these options:
The Tavern
Blue Moon Cafe
Tip Top on Pantops
La Taza


Any preference? Please post.

I'll be down in Daytona this coming weekend. Therefore, my preference is La Taza, since I can go there anytime I want, this way I can go somewhere different to meet you folks next month!

The Tavern

Tavern is a great breakfast place but the students usually have it mobbed on weekends.

I have not been to the Blue Moon. Ever. Don't even know where it is, therefore I recommend this place.
And you might ask yourself, "where does that highway go?"

Does the Blue Moon have room for ten of us? I'm only aware of the front section that seemed a little cramped. If there is room, I vote for the Blue Moon. We tried The Tavern on Boxing Day a couple years ago and were lucky to get a table for four. But it was full of after Christmas discount shoppers then, not students.

There were six of us for breakfast this morning and we gave the Blue Moon Diner the BRB seal of approval. A ride developed heading west on Barracks Road, losing riders along the way until Carl and I split up at the Afton Liberty station on VA 151/6. It looked like it was turning out to be a good day, but the temps dropped back to the mid 30s west of the Blue Ridge.

How about the Inwood Restaurant in Gordonsville next month and a ride up the Old Blue Ridge Turnpike and a loop through Fauquier and Rappahannock Counties?

The nice aspect about the Inwood, is that one feels an obligation to tip given the level of service.

:oops: Upon futher review I noticed an oversight in my last posting. I should have stated tha " NO ONE" feels obligated to tip.

OK, hint taken. Any other breakfast spots up that way? I still think it's a good time of year for a ride up the Old Blue Ridge Turnpike and beyond.

In downtown Madison there's the Mountaineer Cafe (opposite the Madison Inn). They're open Sunday from 7:00-2:00. A couple of BMW riders were there when I stopped in today. They said the food was "OK." It caters to locals. Sample menu items: western omelet w/ toast, potatoes & coffee/tea - $5.75; 3 large pancakes w/ 2 eggs & bacon/sausage/ham & coffee/tea - $6.50. The waitress said they could handle a group of 10-12 on Sunday, April 1.

For the more refined dining experience, The Lafayette Inn in Stanardsville would allow us to eat an a la carte breakfast from 8:30-10:30 w/ their guests if we call/email in advance. The owner said a typical "large" breakfast plate w/ coffee would be about $10-12. See

The Layfayette sounds interesting, but I vote for the Mountaineer Cafe in Madison or La Taza in C'ville. We could head north on VA 20 from La Taza and still hit the Old Blue Ridge Turnpike.

Thanks for checking these out.
