The cream puffs are light as air and generously filled, while the caramel apples bring just the right mix of crunch and chew. It’s the kind of spot where you find yourself smiling with each bite-and maybe going back for more.

A Cozy Meal or a Quick Bite
If you have time to sit down inside the full-service restaurant, you’re in for a warm, comforting meal that feels like a throwback to classic roadside diners. The booths are cozy, the portions are generous, and the staff serves up that unmistakable Midwestern friendliness.
But even if you’re in a rush, the gas station bakery counter makes it easy to grab something delicious without slowing down. Whether it’s coffee and a pastry to go or a bag of goodies for the road, the only regret might be that you didn’t buy more-or that you have to share.
Where Road Trips Meet Local Flavor
Tucked conveniently off a busy interstate, the Pine Cone Travel Plaza in Johnson Creek is more than a fuel stop. It’s a favorite among truckers and travelers alike who know that this unassuming spot delivers big on flavor and comfort.
Though the outlet mall nearby draws plenty of shoppers, it’s the Pine Cone that keeps visitors coming back-whether for a hearty breakfast at 6 a.m. or a box of pastries on the way home. Open 24/7, it’s a reliable, welcoming place to take a break and treat yourself.
