Great stop halfway through my drive home! Cheerful, open and clean atmosphere with delicious food 5 minutes off the highway. Sweet surprise with very tasty simple burger (gluten free hamburger bun available) and great single espresso. Perfect timing on drive between McCloud CA and Greenbrae CA. I look forward to stopping again and telling my friends about it as well. Above and beyond value for the money. read more

Visited July 9 2026. See my receipt as always as proof ! My boyfriend and I drove to Willows to pick up my friends beef jerkey. In the meantime we decided to have breakfast. What a nice spot! Modern feeling with outside seating as well. Pet friendly! Puppy approved by my Wilbur ! We shared the breakfast ( I think called old Skool..not school) that had 2 fluffy eggs with extra crispy bacon and potatoes with sourdough toast. It was so fresh and good! Bacon was extra crispy as ordered and the potatoes had a nice seasoning on them with a bit of a crunch! They also have beer and wine and bottomless mimosas! It was a Great experience and would definitely recommend! Will be back! Ps. Thank you Amanda as well as their friendly staff! read more

Popped by on a road trip for a quick bite and were impressed by the whole experience. One of the owners was on hand and engaging with all the customers, happy attentive staff, nice choices on the menu. Love all the natural light and big space. You'd think the place had just opened, it's so perfectly clean, but they actually started during Covid and have continued since. Ordered the breakfast burrito with came with a side of salsa and sour cream, and the turkey croissant which had the option for a full or half. It was abundant but get the full... leftovers are a must :) Quality experience all around and looking forward to returning on our next pass through town! read more

Great experience at Carte Blanche. We were greeted at the door and could choose our own seat. They have an extensive menu both for lunch and breakfast, plus coffee. I had the French toast ($10) which came with mixed berries (strawberries & blueberries), which was a bummer because I am allergic to strawberries, but they didn't have blueberries without strawberries. Also came with butter and syrup. Very satisfying. I also had the Kole's Favorite with ham, which is like an egg McMuffin, but better. My daughter had the eggs Benedict, which came with home potatoes. The cheese sauce is different than hollandaise sauce, but still yummy. As for coffee drinks, they have specials, various flavors, and different milks. I had an iced oat milk chai, which was delicious. They have dine in and take out. The cafe has large windows, air conditioning, lots of tables, soft music, and a nice ambiance. Highly recommend! read more

A local spot that everyone knows your name :) Not mine, I'm new here but it's absolutely a local spot where if they see your truck outside they will pop in to say a quick hello to you. I love the ambiance of the place, I love the paintings on the walls, the bar with beer and wine, and the quick serve fridge by the register. They have treats in the case and some outdoor seating as well. They have a nice menu of American food, hamburgers and sandwiches, breakfasts, and more. They have prime rib dinners on Fridays or Saturdays and will sometimes have live music playing. I like to stop in for a classic cup of coffee to sit outside with and enjoy the old buildings outside and imagine how the town once looked in the late 1800s. Great location and great place to stop by when you need a real meal. read more

Two orders of the Kristine! Foreground has fig jam on the sandwich and fries on the side. Background has no fig jam and fruit on the side. The food is delicious, the staff is friendly, and the building is clean and inviting. Highly recommend stopping by here when you are in town!! read more

Great decor and vibes. Friendly staff. Delicious food, with lovely presentation. Definitely exceeded our expectations. Totally worth the short detour off the highway to eat here read more

My wife and I though it would be a great idea to meet are family from Napa here at this restaurant since the reviews were good So the hamburger was great but The Cesar salad was horrible Price for the salad was 17.00 That would had been fine if it was not a child size salad that would fit it a small cereal bowl Would say I would got back Not worth the drive 3 hr round trip read more

CB kitchen never fails my cravings. Although I was fooled by their Italian sodas, the flavors being energy drinks to my understanding, when going over the online menu. As good as it was, I don't drink anything energy, especially being pregnant . Otherwise, I've been overly satisfied every visit! read more

Unexpected gem in this small, rural town. Delicious smashburger with sophisticated flavors.

Great service, yummy food. We stopped here on our drive back home and the food did not disappoint. The service was spot on very welcoming.

Stopped in for lunch and had a burger and fish and chips special. Tasty burger and fries were just right. The fish and chips I tried a bite and it was good too. Clean restrooms and good service. I'll be back. read more

Still just as good after 2 yrs. Loved the Mak N Cheese with apricot barbecue drizzle. Four of us came in 15 min before closing and we were welcomed. Everyone was Happy with their meal. read more

The location is cute and the service was friendly and efficient. I especially enjoyed the onion rings. My smash burger with blue cheese and onion jam pushed toward salty. Likewise, my spouse's dish was on the salty side. Otherwise, it was great. read more

The food was great. Service was great. The staff is super friendly. While we were eating a bunch of local regulars came in and it felt like a real home town dinner. If I'm ever driving through in the future I'll stop here again. read more

I'm a gigantic fan of Willows and am happy to have discovered one of its treasures Carte Blanche. It has a cute new contemporary feel with a strong burst of down home feel. The service was great, the staff knowledgeable and well prepared. My daughter had the half Turkey croissant which was too much for one. I'm a giant French fry fan and theirs were perfect, crispy on the outside and tender where it mattered. I had the Why the Heck Not. It is their famous man n cheese on top of a well flavored burger. They place their famous apricot barbecue sauce on top, it is a must try. I will definitely be back. read more

The Bougie burger! I highly recommend it. Everything is delicious. I have had many things off the menu and everything was great.

The food, ambiance and customer service is stellar. When you walk in it is a portal outside of Willows! Chic, clean and inviting it's a fun place to meet friends and visit! They offer coffees, tea, beer and wine along with a delicious menu! If you visit Willows this is a must visit restaurant as you will not be disappointed! read more

Well, well, well... look at this little gem we found right off of the 5 as we hurtled up the west coast. The "smash"burger was absolutely delicious, shaved onion, thinly sliced mushrooms (the Cali). We also had a salad with locally grown walnuts, berries, grilled chicken and fresh greens. The coffee met the standards of my discerning travel partner, too. We will be back in town when we're in the area again. read more

Best burger since the Squeeze In in Sacramento!! Fast and super friendly service! indoor/outdoor seating!! Worth the stop in Willows!!

I checked Yelp out when passing through this area. The menu seems pretty expanse however, I was really disappointed. I asked for a sandwich. I told them that I wasn't from here and I wanted something off the menu. I was thinking about the croissant they said yeah the lady talked me into getting a half. I probably could've ate a whole, but upset me was when I got in there I was charged for a side even though I was told over the phone like what do I wanna have with it like as if it was included, then I was charged three dollars for a side of fruit that I didn't know wasn't included she said well only the salad is included. The sandwich was super tiny. I mean, my daughter could've probably ate the whole thing herself and came to $15 With tax and tip the lady had an attitude when I took the fruit off, she was trying to be polite because her boss was there, but she was clearly agitated that she had to go tell the kitchen. The other problem was the croissant was completely stale. It was so dry for $15. I think I'll eat somewhere else next time sad because this place is really clean and nice inside but the quality and the attitude of the front lady is not there. read more

Pull off the 5 for this one! Great coffee. I had the avo toast but all the other brekkie options looked great. Friendly owner and staff. Cute place with the best of small town feeling, plus spacious and outdoor seating. Blow past Starbucks .7 mi. and support local. I'm coming back for lunch read more

Service was top notch. We decided to go on a Thursday, because it's their prime rib night. Not disappointed, food was delicious and plentiful. We gave it a try and will differently be going back. Refreshing inside, clean and cool. read more

Order at the counter, then order delivered to your table. Texas chickadee sandwich was crunchy, savory, and sooo good! Came with a side salad, fries or onion rings extra. We got garlic truffle fries which were ok. MIL got the Gobbler, which she said was good. Nice sized portions. Clean, non-gender bathrooms. I would've ordered a cider if they had a list at the register, or on a board. I didn't know they had. read more

Stopped here for breakfast on a three-week road trip. I had low expectations for such a small town, but this place is great. Breakfast burrito was excellent, they were happy to make it without meat and even offered avocado in place of meat at no additional charge. Good strong Americano, which can also be tough to find while traveling. Staff were wonderful. Cute location and atmosphere. Would go back. read more

We loved the place, we loved the service. We loved the style of it, and we loved the lady who took care of us who happens to be the owner, Christine! We both had a great breakfast which was delicious and the portions were more than generous! read more

Okay, since I live in Southern California, this place is just up my alley. Modern decor, coffee/tea, fresh fruits & veggies with their dishes and of course mimosas! The food was so good, we went back the very next day. I do recommend the mimosa flight. It's such a great deal and all the flavors we tried were delicious. We tried the grilled chicken panini, spring salad with chicken, turkey croissant & bbq chicken flatbread. Lots of great flavors and choices here. I am so happy there is a place like this to come to while I'm in town. I'll be looking forward to my next visit. read more

I stopped here on a Thursday evening after a long road trip and had the grilled cheese with pesto sandwich and some fresh fruit, with watermelon lemonade to drink. It was delicious and refreshing. I had my dog with me and the staff was so kind to her--- giving her a pup cup and a cup of ice water, even after she excitedly barked her head off when we walked inside. All around great experience, would definitely return. read more

Best coffee in willows. Stopped here for coffee and support the locals. Good coffee cake!

I wasn't expecting such a good brunch place in the small town of Willows! My fiance and I stayed the night in Willows on our trip to Oregon and woke up pretty hungry since we were too tired to get dinner the night before. Carte Blanche was one of the few restaurants open at 10am on a Friday and we saw it had good reviews, so we decided to try it out. We got the following: latte, raspberry danish, roast beef sandwich, turkey sandwich, and the spinach quiche bagel. Our favorites by far were the turkey sandwich and the spinach quiche bagel. The sauce they put on the sandwich really made the turkey taste so juicy and good. The bagel was an everything bagel and was super soft with warm egg and spinach in the middle. I wouldn't recommend the roast beef sandwich unless you get some sort of extra dressing to go on it - it was kind of dry. The latte and raspberry danish were pretty standard. Food came out pretty quickly as well. It only took about 15 minutes from ordering to get everything. We took ours to go since we needed to get back on the road again. Everything was packaged pretty well and secure for the trip. Would definitely recommend trying this place out if you're stopping in Willows! read more
