Peanut Butter Pie and Coffee

Happiness on a plate—peanut butter pie—served with a bottomless cup of coffee.

So many choices—apple, sugar-free apple, pecan, fudge, cherry, coconut cream, coconut meringue, chocolate meringue, chocolate cream, German chocolate, banana cream, lemon cream, and lemon meringue. Then I saw it—peanut butter pie. Oh my! I knew immediately what I was going to eat. Ribbons of chocolate sauce drizzled over melt-in-your-mouth creamy deliciousness is the only way to describe the pie. A bottomless coffee cup was the perfect accompaniment to the perfect slice of pie.

Beautiful pies greet you as you walk into the Blue Bonnet Cafe.

Great Food, Too!

Chicken fried steak and cream gravy with three sides—mashed potatoes, green beans and fried okra.

Blue Bonnet Cafe is so much more than homemade pies. In addition to breakfast all day, they serve everything from salads to burgers and sandwiches, to savory pot roast, fried catfish and fried chicken. The last time the hubster and I ate at this delicious diner, he had the chicken fried steak and cream gravy with mashed potatoes, green beans and fried okra. I ordered the charbroiled Teriyaki chicken breast, with green beans and two servings of salad. The chicken breast was juicy and tender.

And don’t forget to save room for pie.
