Really unique spot - three of us (mom eats like a bird) split a grilled cheese and a Rueben and they were so good - Three different cheeses super gooey with bacon! What isn't better with bacon. The Rueben was also very flavorful and filling. Definitely would return. Not a big place - a few tables is all I suspect takeout business is majority - have different soups each day and in the winter that tamatoe soup and grilled cheese is probably the chefs kiss -'will be back to report on that! read more

Breakfast sandwich this morning. Croissant, ham, 2 eggs, and cheddar cheese. There was also some flavorful mayonnaise mustard type spread with some herbs that was amazing. Fresh ingredients put together when you order. Unfortunately it could have been a little warmer but I didn't notice until I was eating it on the road. Nonetheless, it was a great sandwich and a really good price, around $9. But croissant was large, 2 eggs and plenty of game. See you again for sure read more

Discovered this cafe a few years ago and has been my go-to since! The owner is super friendly and so is the rest of her team. If you're strolling through downtown and want a tasty treat, this is the place to be! Cafe Alara offers the yummiest hot and cold sandwiches, and the best part is that all the ingredients are fresh local produce! You'll have to keep coming back because they have a large menu of smashed sammies (paninis), soup, cold sandwiches, salads, as well as breakfast items! They also have coffee, tea, Italian soda, and Lotus drinks. Cafe Alara uses coffee from a local roaster (Caffe Cocina) so you'll always get delicious coffee! Cafe Alara is quite famous for their Reuben and it certainly doesn't disappoint. If this is your first time trying their sammies, a few of my favorites are: The Reuben, Roast Beef and Artichoke, Turkey Pesto, and The Point! The perfect guilty pleasure sammie is the Grown Up Grilled Cheese Deluxe paired with their Creamy Herbed Tomato Soup! Honestly you could probably point at something at the menu and it will be delicious! If you're in the area or are looking for a nice place to meet up with a few friends, Cafe Alara is your place--they even have card games and puzzles to play! read more

I had probably the best panini of my entire life today. Even though it was to go, it was absolutely amazing and that says a lot I think. I had the veggie panini and omg - perfection. The yummy bread was perfectly toasted, the mix of veggies was perfect - artichoke hearts, a perfect avocado, tomato, olives (I opted for no red onions, they aren't my thing) and a truly perfect spread on top. I wanted to lick the paper clean it was so good. Honestly one of the top 3 sandwiches of my life and definitely a main contender for top panini. As a bonus - everyone else in my group, who had a selection of other sandwich's from the menu, were also raving about theirs. So I have a feeling you literally cannot go wrong here. read more

We crave their sandwiches! The Hammy, the Reuben, the rosemary bread, the pickles! Clean, comfortable atmosphere...feels like having lunch at a friend's place. Small selection of local cheeses and crafts. read more

I am 56 years old and I have never had a better sandwich in my life. I've been all over the country and this was the freshest and most delicious sandwich I have ever had.

Was so excited to try the food, Reubens was dry n over panini'd, smelled burnt, now I've had food poisoning since Thurs 10.23 I'm not doing well read more

I see the soups and sandwiches at Cafe Alara on FB all the time and finally had the opportunity to try them. I got the Veggie Panini on sourdough and it did not disappoint! The artichoke hearts were.grilled and gave a "meaty" texture thatelded perfectly with the creaminess of the cream cheese and lemon aioli. The sprouts, tomato and olives just round out the deliciousness. My son already had lunch at school so I got him the Oxalis brownie, which is a fave when we go to the Poulsbo Farmer's Market, so we were excited to get it at Cafe Alara. The staff were super friendly and it was nice to be able to see everything being prepared. read more

I had the grown up grilled cheese (I selected havarti, Swiss, and cheddar cheese) with bacon and tomato on sourdough and it was so tasty! I also had a vanilla latte and it was alright. The pastries looked good so I'll have to go back to try them. The people working behind the counter were all very friendly. As far as seating, there's limited space and can get busy, but the food was good so I'll be back. read more

Was looking for a great, local sandwich shop and found it at Cafe Alara. "Smashed Sammies" were amazing. Already planning to return on a Friday to try the Clam Chowder. Staff was very pleasant. Initially indicated they were out of a certain sauce, but upon hearing it was first time in, took the extra time to make a new batch. Fantastic service. read more

Quaint little spot. Great breakfast burrito and vanilla chais were great. Defiantly try them out! read more

Reuben and dirty chai latte were delicious. Love the open space and the games. It was a great stop.

So I have always ordered. DoorDash and I have never seen the venue until now, and I am so happy that I came to visit! When you walk up the sign is super cute and when you open the door, it is so welcoming. They have different styles of chairs and and tables giving it a fun café relaxed vibe. When you walk up and you can see the board is presented very clearly and I was able to read every sandwich that they had to offer there as well as drinks since they do make amazing coffee. My kid got the grilled cheese and I enjoyed my favorite turkey pesto which I've already had three times prior when you order a sandwich as well it comes with chips and they have sea salt, barbecue and salt and vinegar. We went to go sit down at the high top table, which was very clean and neat , we waited maybe three minutes and our food was already ready and they brought it to us which is super nice. My son enjoyed having his lunch and I of course ate mine immediately. Everything in this environment felt warm, friendly and very clean when we went to the bathroom it is very clean and neat as well! I highly suggest you stop in the food is amazing. Service is very kind and the environment is quiet and clean. And clutter free ! read more

Ours was a door dash delivery, order online. It was EXCELLENT. I had turkey with the works, daughter had the club and grandson had Italian. There is so many good items on each sandwich but there are so many extras to chose from ...which was a fun treat also. Sandwiches were wrapped very well, jalapeño chips were fun. All in all it was a great first experience and we will be back!! We give a 10 star rating.... read more

Got a hot mocha and the Cafe Alara Club. My husband got the turkey pastrami sandwich. Both were sooo good. Sandwich combos come with chips. Will definitely come back to try the rest of the sandwiches and their salad. Close by the ferry and have street parking available. Great place to study but not sure if they offer free wifi.

Cafe Alara - Beef and Cheddah (added pastrami ) - horseradish was tasty but not too spicy. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bremerton, Washington

My wife and I had been wanting to try this Cafe and were glad we managed to get a midday lunch in it. The atmosphere is inviting, unique, and does a good job of making the space feel bigger. We were excited to order so we looked over all of the amazing sounding options. My wife opted for their Yardbird sandwich, while I got their beef and cheddah. Her sandwich was fresh and delicious and mine was insanely good. There was a bit of a horseradish sauce in it which I pleasantly was not expecting; it was a great surprise. We didn't catch their name, but we were greeted by the most friendly person. We are happy to have finally tried Cafe Alara. It's definitely in our rotation and on our lunch break list! read more

First time I've been here, walked in greeted by lady at the Counter, she told me the Most Popular sandwiches (Yardbird, The Point, Reuben) and showed me the Specials. I ordered the Reuben Panini and had my food in less than 5 mins. The sandwich looked exactly like the pic on their Page. It's 1 of the top3 Best Reubens I've had! Prepared with a fair amount of corned beef, sauerkraut, and dressing. Comes with Deli pickle spears, bag of chips and separate spicy mustard on the side. I'll definitely be back to try some of the other sandwiches!!!! read more

Perfect coffee. Perfect food (I highly recommend the egg bites)! Seriously skip Starbucks and head here!

A splendid little shop. The sandwiches are tasty and so much more interesting than the mass-market sub chain down the street.

This coffee shop is such a little slice of heaven. The workers are friendly and hospitable. They make a dreamy ice latte. Also have cafe items like sandwiches. I always try to support local and so glad this gem was open. Thanks for the delicious coffee! read more

Great place! The food is amazing and staff very friendly. Would highly recommend. The rosemary breed was to die for!

This cafe is such a gem! Calming atmosphere with a french vibe. My family and I were in town for a graduation and Autumn was so warm and welcoming to us when we dropped in. You'll find a really great selection of Jacobson salts and other cooking items on shelves. Plus they had farm fresh eggs and raw milk for sale as well. I am super happy to recommend the avocado toast, breakfast burritos & chai lattes. My sister ordered a vanilla cappuccino and said it was delightful as well! The next time I find myself in this area, I'll make it a point to stop by. Thank you for the hospitality! read more

Wonderful little restaurant with a nice staff. The sandwiches where a perfect mixture of festive fresh ingredients exquisitely pared with sliced meats. The fresh made clam chowder was simply delicious. However, I was unpleasantly surprised when I received my bill to see that I was charged extra for my preference of bread as well as for the plastic cups our water was served in. Thank goodness we were not charged for the spoons to eat our chowder with. read more

Cute casual place with good hot sandwiches (Sammie's and smashed Sammie's, about 17 choices in all. Excellent turkey pesto on toasted rosemary bread. Bag of chips is included. Lots of options for coffee and other beverages but we didn't try them. Seating for 12-15. read more
