The framed pie plate and cash display no longer exists. I asked the cashier about it, and all she did was show me a page from the local newspaper dated August 17, 2011. The page was stored below the cash register.

President Obama stopped here and purchased pies. You can sit in the booth where he sat. He mailed the pie plate back to the cafe; it has been framed with a story by the cafe's former owners [Carol and Dean Jackson] and the three $20 bills Obama used to pay for his pies. The cafe is now owned by the former owners' daughter-in-law, Shana. Very reasonable daily specials and friendly folk!
