Located on The Larsen Family's Stone Mountain Farm, the Rail Trail Cafe is a great destination for a quick recharge, snack, breakfast, lunch or an evening meal. We offer an evolving menu that changes weekly with the seasons, serving produce that comes out of our nearby gardens and a number of local friends and farms including Solid Ground Farm, Seed Song Farm, Farmer's Table Farm, Insook's Produce and the Wild Hive Grain project.

Our music programming is a workshop for wide-ranging and eclectic experiments featuring the best in local folk, jazz, world music. If you are driving in please notice signs, make a donation for parking in the box attached to the trailer bed. Digital donations are welcome. The Stone Mountain Driveway needs our care.

The pizza here is great! Real Wood-Fire pizza oven, crispy thin crust, great toppings. Prices are good too. They also have Fresh scones & coffee in the mornings. Music and/or theater some nights.
A great stop off the rail trail it's built on, or if you're camping at the Hipcamp across the way. Bicycle rentals next door.

The pizza was awesome, the drinks were great and the all around atmosphere was welcoming. The staff was nothing but polite and even let me store a birthday cake over night. Great little hidden spot that I didn't know was in my town

Nice place to take a break from the trail.
Little pricey on the pizza. $18.
They need to organize the seating area little bit better.

Amazing place - we heard a free wonderful concert of Balkan folk music! People dancing such a great vibe! And we were biking and just happened upon it! I felt like I was in heaven-so chill - and in the middle of the woods!

Outdoor food stand style with outdoor seating. Great food. Locally sourced ingredients and made fresh on site. There's a stage for a concert etc. Has porta-potty slightly up the hill.

Beautiful brickoven pizza place in the middle of the woods. It is magical. Just expect a long wait for the pizza because it is made from scratch! It is worth it. Also try out their Ginger Ale we liked it!
