For meals, the cafe has a typical short-order menu of sandwiches for lunch. 

If you plan to eat dinner there, you must get your name(s) on the list by 
2:30 PM to get the complete meal that their trail-hands will be served for 
dinner. If you don't get on their list, your only choice for dinner is their 
short-order menu. At least, that's the way it was in '96.

Don't count on the store for too much. I found them to be stocked primarily 
for car campers, not for backpackers. If you deliver a resupply package of 
your own making, they will hold it for your arrival.

Happy hiking,
