Our server sat us quickly and answered our questions about a few menu options. I had a sausage sandwich that was tasty and the roll was grilled also. My wife had the roast beef and her sandwich was tender and good flavor. All in all the sandwiches were good but a bit more meat would have taken them over the top.

This place is adorable! We went for lunch during our stay in Willits at an RV spot and when…read morelooking for a place with vegetarian options, can across the reviews for their extreme veggie. So glad we went, the sandwiches were delicious! Highly recommend.

They were incredibly slow and made the orders out of order, so we had to wait even longer because they skipped part of our order and made someone else's right in the middle of ours. My husband observed that they messed up every order before and after ours. They were also very confused by the request to make it decaf and the best part is no public bathroom. Order coffee here at your own risk!

There's a little pad of paper where you can select what you want on your sandwich. When I went there weren't many people at the cafe, so the wait was very short. There's a few seats where you can eat. The sandwich was good, it was fresh and a good size at a reasonable price. The market is a grocery store, I didn't look at what they had, but it seemed like they had a lot of healthy options.

negative stars for this place…read more I had high hopes because I LOVE supporting new businesses in town, they have a nice-variety menu, a wide variety of desserts and interesting things in their store ...but every encounter with this place has been disappointment first and foremost: their prices are through-the-roof RIDICULOUS which would be forgivable IF the food was good OR enough. see in photo how much I paid ($11) for a couple drops of ice cream and a couple meh cookies. plastic spoon for scale, I paid $7.75 for about 75¢ of ice cream. see how much those cookies cost? not worth half that another time I got their $13 mushroom goat cheese sandwich which was bland = infuriating for $13! see in that other 1-star review that they use "Great Value" brand in their smoothies = YUCK!! this makes it quite clear that they do NOT care about quality. what other quality-free ingredients do they use? last thing: I left an honest comment on a facebook post and the Whistle Stop owner reported my comment to the group admin = passive aggressive. I wouldn't be surprised if the 5-star reviews for this place are family & friends of the owners & employees. steer clear of this place, friends, there are MUCH better options in Willits go to Karkar's or JD Redhouse for sammiches go to Scoops or JD Redhouse for milkshakes or ice cream go to Mariposa for smoothies
