This amazing,oldest and highest antique store and cafe, offers a delightful experience. Their hot chocolate is especially good, and the vegetable soup provides a cozy warmth against the chilly wind.

This place is huge and privately operated (only a small proceed goes to the park). They have a ton of shopping options and a great selection of snacks.

Get the cinnamon roll! They are delicious with a cup of hot chocolate and the view while enjoying them is outstanding.
