Let’s all admit that at the heart of any day trip is a wonderful destination like a waterfall or attraction – and a place to grab an awesome meal, too! We’ve found a tiny cafe in North Carolina that doubles as both so grab the keys and get ready to hit the road. And don’t worry, we’ll throw in a suggested waterfall, too.

Welcome to Cedar Mountain Cafe, which just happens to be on the South Carolina border and right outside of North Carolina's DuPont State Forest!

The community of Cedar Mountain may be just a blip on the map, but it's worth a visit just to check out Cedar Mountain Cafe.
The cafe goes to painstaking efforts to procure local ingredients whenever possible and only serves meats that are hormone, antibiotic, nitrate, and preservative-free.
