I've ridden across the western part of Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon as well as traveling extensively in Colorado, Utah and New Mexico and I can't recall running across any establishment like that that jamawani describes. Of course I was searching for lattes and sushi and you usually don't find those in Real He Man bars



I go for the bits between the small towns...and to see if I can find some lattes I can sip.
In Australia, it does happen. Our local store for a while in a tiny town was the postal agency, pizza place and licensed cafe all rolled into one. It is a very pleasant place run by lovely people, and is in just the right location for a stop between bigger towns when touring.

Everyone needs to be careful of broad generalisations on an international forum.
