"It was this sign that caused us to pull and and investigate the By-Way Cafe. We sure are glad we stopped."

"Sheila Candeleria learned pie-baking skills from her mother. She grew up on a ranch just 17 miles south of town. This peach pie won't win any beauty contests, but its full, fruity flavor and savory crust cannot be beat."

Michael Stern
"Although located on the main highway, Candel's By-Way has all the friendly flavor of a small town cafe."
