My Favorite Cafes: The Volcano Union Inn, Volcano, CA

The Volcano Union Inn
Volcano, CA

I read about the small town of Volcano, CA in the Sunset magazine. The location of the town, Gold Country, and the size of the town, teeny tiny, both intrigued me. I was not let down. What an amazingly cute town. I'd have a hard time even calling it a town; it is more like a bend in the road, literally. Below you will see some pictures of the Inn and the town. Enjoy. I highly recommend a visit.

The welcome mat of the Inn. Too cute.

Photo of the Volcano Union Inn from across the street. The upstairs porch is accessible to the people staying at the Inn. It was a great place to read a book and watch the few cars go by.

Here is a view of the sidewalk. Wow. On the right here is a general store and just a little ways away is a great saloon. Really, a saloon.

Here's the general store.

There I am just relaxing. We were waiting for our room to be ready. In fact the Inn doesn't open its doors until a certain time. Check that out before you go.

Local history. Can you read it?

Here is the town's cute little park. There is a quiet stream that runs along the far side of it. Toward the right of the park is an out-door theater where the local actors put on seasonal shows. During the winter months, the performances take place indoors.

Hard to see: stray cats that kept us company as we enjoy reading in the park.

I loved the hand-drawn emergency exit escape route posted on our door.

Yup, the patio. A great place to watch the townsfolk. In the evening you can watch the crowds come to the summer performances and others come to the pub for dinner.

They had fresh fruit available to the guests of the Inn in their community area. This was the BEST peach I have ever tasted! Nothing like fresh produce in Northern CA!

My whiskey sour in that saloon I was telling you about. I'll post that on this blog in the future. Warning: If you go to the saloon, please don't wear a darling green Banana Republic light weight sweater. You'll stand out like a sore thumb! Jeans and a t-shirt are all you need. Really!!!
