Wheelhouse

Mt Shasta Region


This casual, high-ceilinged, brick-walled hangout (formerly the Brown Trout Gallery & Dogwood Diner and originally the town mercantile) serves organic, healthy yet hefty and delicious New American–style breakfasts. If you're not feeling like bacon and eggs, try the Zephyr, ciabatta bread in a custard batter, grilled and topped with pineapple, brown sugar and brandied caramel syrup.
