    Cold brew coffee and cinnamon roll
    Candace R.

    I have mixed feelings about this place. It's a super cute cafe has a lot of nice items for sale from other vendors (candles, jewelry, cards, etc.). It's also pretty spacious and there are plenty of tables for dining in. As of today, there menu isn't on their website so check the photos on Yelp to see their food offerings. We ended up going there daily for breakfast when we were in town. Noah took our order at the counter yesterday and he was very friendly, but otherwise I got the sense they were very busy and that took a toll on their level of service. Both times I went we waited about 10-15 minutes for our coffees and pastries, so if you're in a rush I would keep that in mind. While it suffered (got cold) with some travel, the avo toast itself tasted good but I found the sides lackluster. The cinnamon roll unfortunately was not the best I've ever had. It also seems that their coffee drinks run very sweet if you request any flavors, and that's coming from someone that likes drinks on the sweeter side.

    went there for cinnamon rolls and what we got was hard as a rock ...obviously not fresh and don't know when it was made ..display case has very limited selection...nothing fresh ...sorry but not coming back ....pillsbury cinnamon rolls from grocery store would have been a better choice

    This is a wonderful place to recharge after several days of camping. The people are friendly and the food is fresh and tasty.

    Such a cute hometown coffee shop. Cecilia has really put her heart into this shop over the years.

    Great mural on the wall... great food and atmosphere

    I was in town for the all-years Westwood High School reunion. I had seen Blue Ox Coffee's posts on Facebook, so I made sure to stop in for a bite. I was reminded of my organic chemistry class and enjoyed the mural on the wall...

    We were in town staying at the Walker Mansion Inn, which is just around the corner & wanted some coffee before going back home. The Inn had business cards for this place so we decided to give it a try & boy are we glad we did. This place was so amazing! They have a unique selection of coffees that puts Starbucks to shame! I had a peanut butter frappe with chocolate & it was incredible! It was like drinking a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup! I know, it sounds gross but it was REALLY good! For those of you like my husband who doesn't like his coffee to taste like dessert like I do, they also have some amazing regular coffee that you can add pretty much anything to or drink it plain They also sell a brand of coffee beans called Black Rifel Coffee that is made by veterans which is is pretty epic! They will even grind the beans for you to whatever grind you want. We of course couldn't leave without some yummies so we got one of their enormous brownies & a humongous cookie dough chip cookie! In addition to the awesome coffee & treats, this place offers free WiFi & has a "come & stay a while" atmosphere. Tons of magazines & books to read as well as a giant checker board in case you feel up to a game. Come check it out!

    I would come up to Lake Almanor just to get these freshly baked pastries y'all. They are DIVINE! I…read moremean I truly have only had pastries on this level a few times in my life. We met the owner who baked everything by hand in the back of the shop. We could see her prepping more pastries. She was so sweet, just a lovely person. You can't help but want to support her business. And then the pastries themselves were just so good, I would gain so much weight if I lived up there year around because I would eat there everyday! My dad and I shared the Ham and smoked Gouda calzone and oh my goodness was it good! Flakey crust, perfect fillings. It was delectable. I had the chocolate and banana turnover and absolutely loved it. Again, great pastry crust? And the proportions of banana to chocolate were perfect! I also loved my apricot and cheese danish. The flavors really complemented each other, and again - perfect crust! My dad tried the berry and cheese danish and the chocolate croissant and he loved them both! I don't think you could go wrong with any of the pastries here. We took our order to go and ate them the next morning and they were still delicious. It's an inviting shop, with limited seating inside along with plenty of seating outside, so it would be a great place to have a bite to eat as well!

    This is the bakery you need to stop by if you're staying near the area for your trip to Lassen…read moreNational Park. They have wide & unique selection of European pastries. I did notice the cute interior Dutch decorations and realized the coffee shop name is in Dutch! This is such a cute find in a small town. They have microwaves for you to warm up your pastries yourself if preferred. The lady is friendly and will give you recommendations if you are having trouble deciding what to get. I was a little disappointed as there was barely any chicken in the chicken pesto calzone. However I recommend all the cake and sweets there.

    Koninkrijk Koffiehuis - More pastries. If it looks sparse, it's because Rachelle is in the kitchen baking.
