Vacationing in Washington? Well this road stop off of I-90 will give you a “mighty fine slice of cherry pie” and will fulfill your stomach’s grumblings. Its my common stopoff whenever I’m in the area. Famed for the Tv-series “Twin Peaks” this nice little cafe, nestled between the Snoqualmie River and mountainous peaks has breathtaking views that will add a unique charm to your meal.
| The building that houses the cafe was built in 1941 by Roy Thompson and has ever since stayed within the family descendants hands. In the 50’s it became known as the “Mar-T” cafe - a famous stopoff for tourists and sightseers. By the 90’s - Film Director David Lynch discovered the area for the filming of his tv-series Twin Peaks bringing scenes into the cafe which boomed its fame as an eating establishment. The film doesn’t tell tall tales when it comes to a good slice of pie and cup of Joe. I give this hot spot a 4 star rating! |

My Grandmother, Lillie Thompson-Robison, worked as a kitchen helper, dishwasher, in the 1960’s, at the Mar-T Cafe. She tape recorded one of the gals washing dishes, as the sound was so loud she thought the crockery would break. She thought this very funny, but she always enjoyed the work. Tho she was not related to Roy Thompson, the folks at the MAR -T were always considered family. When I was a little girl I would sometimes go in and sit at the back waiting for my Grandma to get off work. The owners never seemed to mind and were always nice to me.
