Country Waffles
Sacramento, CA

The Country Waffles looks like an old mid-century coffee shop from the outside. Setting foot into the interior brings you into a dining area that very well could have been an old 60's coffee shop hangout.

Below are more images of the front facade and interior of the Country Waffles. 11-05

IHOP

Here are some pictures of a classic International House of Pancakes building on El Camino Ave. in Sacramento. It is across the street from the Lyons building. Although it has been remodeled some, it still does have that classic IHOP look to it. 06-06

(Below)Here is The Lodge Coffee Shop . It is the only one left in the Sacramento area to my knowledge . May be the only one left period. There used to be more of them in the 1950s, 60s or 70s . It kind of resembles a classic International House of Pancakes building . But the difference is the 1960s style rocky wall on the side of the building . The food there is reasonable and is good . It is open for breakfast and lunch daily . If you are ever in the Citrus Heights area, give it a try . It is on Auburn blvd. not too far from I-80. Info courtesy John Flores 06-06

Eppie's Restaurant
Sacramento, CA

Photo and info courtesy John Flores

Here sits an Eppie's Coffee Shop on Madison Boulevard in Sacramento that has been vacant for about 3 years now. Eppie's Coffee Shops once flourished in the Sacramento area and some other Northern California locations in the mid-century era and most have now been closed or torn down. There is an exception of one Eppie's that is still open in near West Sacramento, which is privately owned and is still doing well.

As far as the old vacant one on Madison, I am not too sure if it will be around for much longer. There is another one near Alhambra in Mid Town Sacramento near the Capitol City Freeway that is also vacant and ready for someone to save it. Many thanks to John Flores for info. 08-06
