Please be prepared that they do not take any cash so please bring a card or applepay. When I went, I got a small scoop that I was able to split into two separate flavors: Passionfruit sorbet and the snickerdoodle. The Passionfruit sorbet was extremely fresh and crisp that it brought back to my times visiting Asia and getting passionfruit smoothies and ice cream. The Snickerdoodle was fantastic and had loads of cinnamon with snickerdoodle cookie dough bits. I took of a star because the seating is EXTREMELY limited. There is no seating indoors and only one table outside.

Unfortunately, our food and service experience were disappointing. I ordered the Nutella and banana crepe, which was enjoyable, but my partner ordered the "Moveable Feast" and it fell short. The potatoes were undercooked, and while eating, he noticed there were no scrambled eggs inside the crepe. When we brought the missing eggs to the register, we were told that it did have scrambled eggs. The employee pointed out that there was a very thin layer of egg spread across the crepe itself, but this was not what was expected from a crepe advertised with scrambled eggs. They did not offer to remake the order or correct the issue, and we were simply sent on our way. The location is cute, but the food quality and customer service left a lot to be desired.

She responded within a day and was so kind and flexible. I met her at her adorable home bakery, and she was incredibly welcoming. We ordered a vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream and raspberry filling, and it was absolutely delicious -- not too sweet, with a light tasting buttercream that was perfect. Exactly the kind of cake we enjoy. Thank you so much, Methia!

Consistently below expectations both with the caliber of their baked products and their flippant…read more"service"-- if you can call it that. First their baked goods are stodgy and not properly executed. Their shortbread tastes like cardboard and is nothing like English shortbread should be. No good butter in evidence here. Their koign amman is not even crisp on the outside. There is something off with each baked item. If you enjoy dump and go style baking that don't require any refinement but are full of American sugar, I think you will feel this is an elite bakery. Otherwise, this is a bad knock off attempt. Scones seem to be chewy and tasteless. I got a "lemon poppyseed" polenta cake where there was no lemon-y flavor at all! It was also heavy and couldn't handle more than 3 bites at a time. Stuck in the gullet. Second their service is appalling. The people behind the counter are all in on some inside ball game and customer service is not their emphasis. They are looking away while half-heartedly asking you what you would like, and more interested in serving up verbal repartees to their co-workers while distractedly trying to complete a sale. You can expect to repeat your order a few times. Then there's the off-handed use of bakery tissue which is not quite neat and hygienic. I mean it's a shambolic operation that gets away with it because there is no competition in Kingston unless you take the ferry across to Edmonds.

I love good tasting quality clean food, which they serve. I do, though, need more budget friendly meals. When the price of a salad, there costs as much as me, feeding a family of three, i have to pause and prioritize. That said, though they have the best chef. I don't eat baked goods, but those who do love their baked goods as well. So definitely patronize them. I'll be back a few times a year, when they rotate their menu and there's something I really want. I just can't eat there once or twice a month like I used to. And it's really the the fact that they price themselves out of my range.

Take the humble grain bowl using Ukrainian buckwheat "Kasha" with fermented vegetables. With the expert "curing" of the vegetables evident by taste, and glazed with a lovely nutty sauce, it is both simple, and yet profound. Similarly a recent soup of tomatillo and zuchini, cut by black beans, corn, and tortilla strips both tasted familiarly Mexican, but also stretched the palate and feel healthy like all traditional foods. Menu standards like the fermented "kimchi waffle fries", are fun to eat, but each week she introduces exciting and ecclectic plates - once "rabbit" was on the menu. This is exceptional food, but not in the rarefied, experimental way of expensive haute cuisines, rather they draw on deep cultural food traditions. The range of flavors is much more sophisticated and pleasing to my palate than anything else I have tasted across Kitsap county. The sauer kraut chocolate cake? wow. The fermented hot sauces? Delicious. The gyro plate with smoked beet baba-ganoush, and the adjika (Georgian savory herb) sauerkraut layered with tzatziki is a virtual Berlin nightclub party in the mouth. You can pair the food with exquisite house fermented kvass or kombuchas. I highly recommend the "linden blossom" one which is a traditional Ukrainian taste. The chef's sure hand embraces cooking techniques and spice combinations from not only the well-known Asian, Indian, Mexican and Mediterranean spectrum, but also extends to the more unusual such as The Republic of Georgia --one of the world's oldest wine producers and known for its incredible cuisine and food culture at the cross roads of central Asia and eastern Europe. My only sadness is their limited opening hours from Wednesday to Saturday and only until 7:00 pm. This food truck is worth traveling the ferry to Kingston from the east Puget Sound.

We had seen it for a long time and been meaning to try, but being workers with a long commute, the early closing time + limited schedule just didn't work for us. When we did get to go, the $20 salads just did not satisfy. Dinner for two rang at about $65 and all and it's just really too high a price for what you get, especially from a food truck. This place is very heavy on the legumes of all kinds, and on pickled and fermented goods. It's really their "thing". This ranges from the more typical (pickled veggies, kombucha, kimchi) to the really odd (sauerkraut chocolate cake, and such). There were Eastern European dishes, which was cool. Others were Mediterranean. So, a bit all over the place. If you are not a fan of pickled and fermented things, I'd suggest that you pass, because there's nothing on the menu for you!

This is a really cute store. It has just about all you need for a weekend stay of groceries…read more At the deli area, they have breakfast sandwiches, coffee, and sandwiches that you can order as is or customize. I had two sandwiches I don't recall which ones but they were pretty good! I was hoping to get a coffee in the morning after a walk one day, but I didn't know exactly what to order because there was no menu. I did hear one of the workers say they could make basically anything. I came and ordered ice cream for the beach. It was a little pricey for scoops of ice cream, I also think I saw a price for it on the board but was charged a little more, so many the board needs updating. Overall a cute spot to check out if you're around. On the weekends they do a little local farmers market across the street. Fun to check out also. Beautiful views outside if you ever decide to stay nearby.

The quality of their nuts and snacks (cookies and Cracker Jacks are to die for!) are outstanding -- everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The shop has a welcoming atmosphere, and the staff are always friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to help with recommendations. I always love seeing locals bring in their own jars and fill them up to the rim with freshly made butters. Whether you're grabbing a quick snack, gifts, or stocking up on favorites, CB Nuts never disappoints. Their roasted nuts are especially incredible and easily some of the best we've ever had. You can really tell they take pride in what they do given how small scale they keep it. We love it so much we have been back twice in a month. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in Kingston -- five stars all the way!
