My family and friends really enjoy the cafe for coffee and breakfast!
First stopped into the cafe to get drinks and tickets and the lady working today was absolutely wonderful. You could tell she enjoys her job and had a passion for it and the area. Then we did the boat tour everyone did a wonderful job. It was a little warm this afternoon but totally worth it.
if you want a quiet quaint place to eat delicious food Lock 16 is the perfect place .
very nice atmosphere.
