We started our morning with fresh, home-cooked breakfast: fluffy waffles, rich biscuits and gravy, and a cinnamon roll that easily ranks among the best we've ever had. They also offer fresh smoothies, baked goods, and coffee, all made with care and quality ingredients. The service was warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind--something that really stood out. We had planned to return for dinner, but ended up taking a different route home. Still, Moe's left such a great impression that we'd absolutely make a point to stop again next time we're in the area. Whether you're passing through Darrington or looking for a great place to start your day before heading into the mountains, Moe's is well worth your time.

This is for the "just passin' through" folks like me. It was August 29 of the year of the pandemic, and we were heading home after a camping trip. My boy was getting hungry, and restaurants with outdoor seating were scarce, so we decided that groceries were the best way to satisfy him. I masked up and went in alone. This was my first real encounter with small town scorn for public health. People in other small town businesses have looked like they resent the mask rules, but comply for the sake of the tourist trade. For example, I saw two mask scofflaws at the supermarket in Forks. (And yes, we even see scofflaws in the city occasionally.) But here, the place was pretty busy, and maybe a quarter of the customers were unmasked. Most of those tempting the virus to hasten their demise looked old, or infirm, or depressed -- but they were also endangering people who still have a reason to live. Although I was trying to shop quickly, I didn't know my way around the store, and I had to search to find a decent, no-preparation snack for my boy. During the search, I found one irresistible impulse purchase: a huge jar of raw honey for a respectable price. The treats at the in-store bakery were pretty picked over by 4:30 pm, so I settled for a red velvet roll cake, for about what I'd expect to pay in the city. I took my purchases to the one open cashier. (They were short-handed; I heard someone apologizing about that.) She was wearing a mask, but it only covered her mouth. I'm glad there was a plastic shield, and room for me to back away from the cashier through most of the transaction. I paid with a card, and the card machine was mercifully quick. Back in the parking lot, I showed my wife and our boy the cake. (The honey will be a surprise for later.) It calmed his hunger, and my wife and I indulged too. But it wasn't something I'd highly recommend. It wasn't until my wife asked that I read the ingredients list, and I think it was mostly sugar, with some cooking oil, some flour, and some dairy ingredients in the frosting (which was delicious). We'll probably finish the leftover cake, mostly because we hate to waste food. My two-star "Meh, I've experienced better" is partly a reaction to the mask scofflaws. And I suppose it's not fair to count inconsiderate customers against them. But a cashier showing her nose? Not good. But it's not just the pandemic. The bakery shelf was short enough of items that I settled for the cake, which was disappointing. I didn't experience the employee friendliness mentioned in other reviews. On the plus side, there was the local raw honey.

We thought the food items were pretty dry/crumbly/tough, acknowledging they are gluten free and don't have that classic fluff.
