Great food! Great salads! We ordered lunch as takeout and each day there was always a yummy cookie alongside! They have great salads! The lunches for 6-8 people always arrived on time! read more

Got a tuna melt with potato salad and a pickle, with tea, on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. It was busy but not too busy, and I got my food within a few minutes. Such a cozy location, service was wonderful and the food was amazing as well. Definitely recommend! read more

Food is delish, highly recommend the rosemary chicken sandwich and the caprese panini!! All the desserts are great as well! Staff is sweet and accommodating. I am in love with the location as well! Pine street Plaza is right next door so there is some great seating outside. Probably my favorite corner in Centralia! read more

Yummmmy. I would recommend. Cute sandwich shop with attached coffee shop. Fresh made bakery good, delicious sandwiches and lovely staff

On the drive from Seattle to Portland along Route 5 we stopped at Dawn's Delectables for lunch. We opted to drive a bit further from the highway, about a mile or two past the typical fast-food mega chains, and ventured into downtown Centralia. Quite a good lunch, al fresco on a pleasant sunny afternoon. read more

Worst experience ever. I ordered 3 pieces of cake and a smoothie. It took them an hour to fill my order, while I waited. Folks got served before me and the smoothie melted by the time they gave it to me. It was in the early afternoon and should have never taken that long. read more

We have been wanting to try this place for a while. We finally got there Sunday and I was excited to try the pulled pork sandwich. That's when I found out the sandwich shop is closed on Sundays. The coffee corner was open so the husband got a coffee and a cinnamon roll. I got a bacon and cheddar scone. He got a peanut butter brownie to go. It was all OK, we wouldn't order them again though. The gentleman behind the counter was very nice and everything was very clean and tidy. Good music playing. I'll be back to try to the sandwich shop eventually, it's just hard to do during the week when one works at their own job and Sundays are my only free day. But I get it, we all deserve a day off! read more

Some of the best baked goods in town! Must try their amazing carrot cake. Amazing service the people there are always so friendly and kind. With the coffee shop inside it has such a warm cozy feeling inside. read more

Had the hankering for something other than the usual quick bite to eat. I thought I would give it a try here. The sandwich were good just maybe I'm out of touch with prices of food these days I thought $14 for a tinny half yet delicious figgy piggy and a rather basic roasted tomato soup was a bit much. I do see tho how if I was maybe more of their client tell demographic I would really enjoy this place. I have a feeling my mom and grandma would really enjoy it here. read more

We ate here for the first time recently. It's in downtown Centralia, a short drive east of I-5 and the mall. We started out with an oat milk cortado that was tasty. They use Caffe D'Arte, a dependable brand, for their coffee drinks. We ordered lunch and it took a long time to arrive, which is why I took off one star my rating. We were visiting in the era of staff shortages and I assume that that was the issue that day. Once the food did arrive it was very tasty, especially the kale and sausage soup they had that day. read more

Just behind the train depot-- be ready for the charm of Dawn's Delectables and the little park bordering it. I had the Chicken Salad Croissant-- to my delight it had cherries in it. Paired with a Cherry Italian Soda with Whipped cream. Oh the decadence... read more

Wow! Wonderful food here. I hope to return soon for more of that remarkable cake. The staff were so courteous and made us feel right at home. Spacious, clean, good value. What more can you ask for?? read more

Been wanting to come here for a while, but I haven't got around to it until today due to them closing around 3:30. Glad I came in. Good selection of sweets like cobblers, cheesecake, brownies, macrons, and much more. I got a couple macrons and they are very good. The sandwiches were good as well but my partner said the Olympian was a little less crunchy than they thought it would be due to the toppings. The potato salad was very good and I approximated the pickles in the foil. The smoothie and shake were super good as well. read more

Dawn's Delectables is a wonderful cafe, set right along the main drag of town. My wife and I were traveling south into Oregon and stopped in Centralia for a bite to eat and a walk around town. We were so happy to find Dawn's and had a wonderful experience there. We both had a taste for a yummy homemade sandwich, and we both left full and satisfied. My wife had a BLT on sourdough and I had the Reuben on marble rye. With sides of potato salad, pickles, and chips it was right up our alley. Fresh baked bread and ingredients made these sandwiches so tasty and didn't leave us with the gut ache that can come from lesser quality places. To finish it off, we got a coffee and piece of carrot cake to go for the road. Holy cow, that cake was gooood! The service was quick and friendly with employees that enjoy what they do and care about their cafe. It is noticeable and makes a difference! When in town and looking for a great spot for lunch, look no further than Dawn's Delectables! You'll be glad you did! read more

We drive from Olympia to go to Dawn's! Fantastic soups, salads and sandwiches. Service is always warm, friendly and efficient. Delicious spot read more

Empty when I arrived but since they had reservations ahead of me that would arrive soon my single to-go sandwich would take 40m... they suggested I go elsewhere. That makes a whole lot of sense. read more

Well second time back and was able to have lunch inside. Raised rating from 4 to 5 because of the charming interior and great service. Had the turkey and cranberry with cream cheese on wheat. (Not toasted). Excellent! The side potato salad was very good as well. My new fav in Centralia. read more

Fantastic! Great service Unique food and delicious food!! We are grateful to be able to have tried this place and we will be back read more

Delicious!!! We tried to come here a few weeks back and missed lunch. I grabbed coffee and a slice of carrot cake. This carrot cake was delicious! I was back in town and made it for lunch. I got the BLT and a piece of carrot cake. My picky brother was with me and enjoyed his lunch and the carrot cake too. Cute little spot with friendly service. I will be back! read more

Dawn's Delectables - a sandwich and soup - Sandwiches Near Me - Centralia, Washington

Loves their specials to try something new but their tuna melt is my go-to. Great service also! If you have time and the appetite, make sure to get a cinnamon roll or another dessert. A centralia gem! read more

Normally, I start with a 4 on my first visit to give me room to add a star after more visits. But in the case, I'm going all-in from the get go. I was in Centralia to photograph many of the old buildings there. The town has done a great job preserving "main street" turning it into an antiques and art district. Then there is this gem smack dab in the middle of it all. Yelp directed me here and the reviews were spot on. Great sandwiches, soups and desserts remenicent of the former Olympia great Fifth Avenue Sandwich Shop. In fact, the dessert selection puts it past Fifth Avenue. Excellent and very friendly service. Immaculate restroom (always an indicator to me of a well run establishment). There are a few more old buildings to photograph whch is a feeble excuse to visit Dawn's (I need to concentrate on those desserts this time) read more

I stayed in Centralia for 2 weeks visiting family and came here several times over the two weeks. Everything we had was amazing. I grew up with a mother and grandmother who cooked from scratch, especially dessert and breads. You can tell they make things in small batches and from scratch. If I lived in Centralia, this would be a spot I would frequent. It is worth the drive off of I-5 if you are looking for something good to eat! Plus, the downtown is cute. Their scones are excellent and so are their mom's morning muffins. Chicken salad sandwich is also scrumptious! They have a great selection of vegan, gluten free, and dairy free options. Their cashew yogurt parfait is a perfect snack or way to start your day! They have a grab and go case if you don't want to eat there or wait for food. Perfect for a quick drive by. They serve Numi tea which is my favorite! I'm not a coffee drinker, but theirs looks and smells good! Their banana pudding is some of the best I've had and I've eaten a lot of banana pudding growing up in the southern US! They have outdoor seating, wifi and super friendly and helpful staff. They even have a window where you can order from the outside. As a bonus, they are women owned. read more

I always leave happy and satisfied after eating here or grabbing a cuppa joe. They've got homemade pastries and I crave their grown up grilled cheese sometimes. The homemade potato salad is delicious and they've got decent portions for salads and other entrees. Dessert case is always full with different things. read more

I ordered a pumpkin chai. I forgot to mention my preference for alternative milks over dairy. I didn't ask what milk they used and took a sip anyway. It was deliciously creamy. Though I didn't drink very much of my chai, the mug did an amazing job keeping my hands warm. I also purchased the "Mock Tuna" from the Grab n' Go section. If you don't like mustard... this sammy is NOT for you. Lo siento. More for me! Chickpeas, red onions, mustard, celery, tomato and spinach on... honey oat bread? It was very tasty. Dawn's Delectables offers to-go menu items and also a to-go ordering and pick up window. I'll be back! read more

Salad was really fresh, tomato soup was yummy, the roast beef in the French dip was basic thick cut deli meat (nothing to write home about, I wouldn't get it again). My friend had the Rueben and said it was good. The staff is always very friendly and welcoming. read more

Delicious chocolate raspberry almond tart. Loved my chai oat milk latte. It was creamy without my stomach hurting from regular milk. Will be back again because we need to pick up our glass creations from Central Glassworks around the corner. Son ate his peach cobbler and tried to tell everyone to get one. Carrot cake was amazing and everyone tried to take a bite. read more

Incredible sandwiches & wraps!! I'm not usually much of a sandwich person but since trying Dawns sandwiches I can say that has changed. The flaky croissant, the fresh ingredients, and the friendly service are a 10/10 with me. I recently moved here from California and had a friend bring me a Dawns Delectables sandwich to try, from that moment on I was HOOKED. When I visited the shop, I was met with friendly faces and delicious sandwich choices. They also have baked goods, such as their incredible Macarons! Take your meal to go or dining in is no problem as they have plenty of seating. read more

Trying more stuff because I just can't believe the reviews. It wasn't "OMG THIS PLACE IS AMAZING". It was alright. and I'm not a picky eater at all. I've had better sandwiches and desserts for similar prices in the middle of nowhere in WV. During a road trip. read more

stopped here with a couple friends during our drive from Kent, WA to Salem, OR - staff was very friendly and accommodating to the substitutions requests made to order. cute little place in a nice location, would be a good spot for a coffee date or to work/study at. so many things on the menu sounded good to me so it was hard to decide what to order. I ended up ordering and really enjoying the figgy piggy panini, potato salad was good too! honestly wish this place was in my hometown read more

Dear Foodie - this is your lunch spot. We were driving to our next destination and discovered this spot just a very few minutes off the interstate. It's in a super cute downtown and it's a great stop for lunch. The food was fresh made to order and so flavorful. The turkey bacon panini was perfection and the carrot cake was worth every doggone calorie. All in my party did a surprised "oh" after that first bite. Delicious. read more

I just discovered this place - and MAN I WISH I WOULD HAVE SOONER! I have been there 3 times in the past week and a half and have enjoyed every single thing I have had. I could go broke eating here. I can't wait to work my way through the menu. So many great choices - and not just run of the mill items. You can tell that whoever created the menu has some culinary experience and cares about making the menu exciting with fresh and flavorful foods. The prices are definitely on the high side for lunches in the area but it will be a great place to stop every once in awhile. Always very nice, friendly, and efficient workers. Lewis County is lucky to have this awesome little eatery. They have yelp check in offers and free wifi too. read more

This was so much more than a dessert shop. We stopped for lunch and had a delicious tomato soup, chicken salad sandwich, and a Turkey bacon panini. But don't eat too much, the German chocolate cake and carrot cake are amazing! read more

This is a MUST visit when you come to Washington. The decor is so welcoming and the service is top notch. Plenty of places to sit and if you would like to have a party or meeting it can happen here. From sandwiches, soups,!ice cream and the desserts are amazingly guider than good! Great place for lunch with a book, a date or hanging out with family and friends. Options for vegan or gluten free are available. I love they are very specific about the things they put in their food and you can tell. Great location. You can sit at the window and see all the other cute shops and the movement of the town. I will most definitely be back...the seafood salad was delicious and the German Chocolate Cake amazzzzzing!!! Make sure you get a slice of the Carrot Cake as well...is a favorite! read more
