I'm not a big reviewer, but these young guys running this cozy place deserve your food dollars. Incredibly delicious sandwiches here. Chicken bacon ranch and Turkey cheddar with apple...wow...large, inventively-constructed sandwiches made with fresh bread. Support small businesses! read more

Awesome sandwiches and lemonade! There are a lot of great food options in the area but this unassuming place is one the best. Had the pork belly sandwich which went beyond expectations. The pork belly was slightly crunchy but the Korean pickles really set off all the flavors! Washed it down with a refreshing honey ginger lemonade. Prices are reasonable. Service was excellent ... especially considering it seems to be a one person operation. The cafe is small (5 tables) but it's clean, with modern decor, and friendly. read more

Great food, great service, and great ambience! Love that they have big jugs of ice water available - so helpful for families when places do that. Grilled cheese toastie was generous, not greasy, and very tasty. Nice pine tables, and the high ceiling and gorgeous paint color makes it feel a bit like you're under water. Tons of natural light thanks to huge windows. A delightful spot. read more

We were looking for a place to stop and get a coffee and this place popped up. It was a bit hard to see from outside what was going on inside, but we're so glad we went in... I ended up ordering the bread pudding and they warmed it up for me put the most delicious whip whipped cream with what I think is a caramel drizzle on top and we scarfed it down and we're in bread pudding heaven. The staff were so incredibly kind in offering us water and making sure everything was OK. We also got a latte that was great. The space is huge and they have board games. I'm so glad we made a pitstop here. They also looked like they had really interesting flavour syrup to add to their drinks!! If we're driving by again, I would definitely stop for lunch, but I was in a sweet peckish mood. read more

Never got to the food, the service was so rude. Big disappointment as we had heard good things about it. I don't think they'll be around much longer. read more

This service at this restaurant was terrible. We wanted to get a recommendation on what to eat. I had already looked at the menu online. I just wanted a personal recommendation. He told us that he wouldn't help us. When we went to leave, he gave us more grief. He was very rude. read more

A friend recommended and I had to try it. So glad I did. I had the beef sandwich. Fresh bread, crunchy veggies, moist and flavorful beef, and a hefty portion. Definitely want to try their coffees and pastries on the next visit. read more

Nut allergy warning: Obviously, avoid the PB&J and probably let them know about any allergies. I thought an affordable, quality sandwich shop didn't exist in the PNW. But when I went to go visit a friend in Mount Vernon, not only did I find a very reasonable one, but they have affordable matcha and coffee to boot? I would be a regular if I lived here, no doubt about it. The pork belly sandwich (5/5): Rich, tender, juicy, the perfect filling amount for lunch. Mochi cream donut (5/5): Take a Boston creme and eliminate the randomness you'd get from a dry pastry dough. Chewy, creamy, somewhat sharable since my sugar tolerance is low but it's not too sweet either. My friend said his beef sandwich was a banger (no photo, he finished it too fast). I was so lucky that they opened recently and I hope they continue this level of quality. Stop by on the drive through. Would recommend. read more

I Love the food and drinks. Except the service. You'll have a good experience depending on what brother is working/ serving you. You could either feel like a nuisance because you walked in or you could have a great experience. The one brother will rudely rush you to order right when you walk in. I personally will never go back. read more

We kept seeing pictures of this lemon cheesecake cookie all over Facebook and had to give it a try. When we first walked it the space is very open and the gentleman behind the counter greeted us immediately. Not a ton of tables but enough for the people sitting at them to actually enjoy their food. We got our cookie to go and barely made it across the street before diving in. It was so good! The cookie by itself reminds me of a macadamia nut (didn't have nuts) but when you get to the middle it's an awesome lemony cheesecake! Will 100% come back and try some more goodies! read more

Came here after a soccer game with our two kids. Great service and food was delicious! Sandwiches were loaded with meat. Loved the cucumber mint sparkling lemonade! My four year old who is a picky eater ate all of his grilled cheese. We love a good sauce and they had a lot of options... favorites was the pesto ranch. read more

Small, cute little gem in downtown! I was so excited to see they had vegan options ( thank you! ) The vegan choices were Asian Pear Salad, Veggie Sandwich, and Chocolate Tart, & everything was sooo delicious. The staff were super friendly and took the time to explain the menu. The Asian Pear Salad was super refreshing and filling with a great Korean-inspired flavor. I had it with the spicy dressing, and the pear paired perfectly with the heat. (They also offer a pineapple ginger dressing if you prefer something milder.) The chocolate tart was FIRE. I'll definitely be counting the days until I'm back for another one. So happy to finally have a legit yummy vegan option in downtown! read more

I didn't even order anything as I was looking at the menu and the person at the front counter asked if I was ready to order and before I could finish my sentence after saying I was looking at the menu, he starts saying that he'll give me a couple minutes to keep looking and immediately turns around and heads back into the kitchen, when I wanted to ask him about the Kalbi Beef sandwich. So, I wait a little bit longer and then he apologizes and says he can hear me better at the register, and then comes back out and I told him I wanted to know what the Kalbi Beef was, and he says he would love to tell me about it but that he was busy and to check out the Google page for a good description of it and everything else. I felt that he was very rude and dismissive, and my phone couldn't access the Internet at that moment, anyway, so I just walked out and won't be back... I was up here for work and wanted a nice quick lunch, but don't deserve that lack of customer service (I'm busy, too, and have a limited lunch break)... read more

The food was amazing. The service was earnest. I think there was only one person and it was busy. He did great. The space is very clean in design and appearance. The honey ginger lemonade was delightful. I'll be back read more

Just happened to notice this place driving by so we decided to try them out. We each had an iced late and we shared the bread pudding. They offered to warm it for is, which we accepted. When he brought it, it was large and very tasty with whip cream and yummy drizzle on top. Everything was tasty and served up promptly and courteously. We will go back and try other things. read more

Unique place to eat. Sandwiches were good- loved the salad. Had a caramel Frappuccino that was delicious. Took home apple pie oatmeal cookies and enjoyed them very much. Will have to go back to try the donuts as they were out. read more

The food was so outstanding I had to write a review. We had the kalbi beef, pork belly, and fried chicken sandwich. All three were outstanding. They make their own bread. It's perfect. The surprise was that my son ordered a chocolate chip cookie, and it was one of the best we've ever had. read more

The food was delicious. The service was great and the speed was excellent. Everything has been great each time we've been and we've gone for pick up orders as well as sit in dining. The spicy pork fries, the egg sandwiches, the donuts and other desserts are all amazing and well priced read more

We went in after a hike and had no expectations. The entire cafe was being run by one person and it was honestly some of the best food I've had in a bit. The prices were affordable and everything was perfect. We highly highly recommend. Especially the iced coffee! read more

I'm came out of Yelp retirement to write this review. Today my partner and I checked this hidden gem out. This little spot caught my eye the day before, but we were on a time crunch and this place was further away. Not far off the hwy, but we were by Lowe's. We almost went to the KBBQ place right next door, and I'm so glad we didn't. Upon entire it's a smaller location with just five table. Wash sheeting 4. The display on front of the counter threw me off and the baked goods on display didn't look appetizing. But we were there for kalbi fries and spickt pork sandwich. I added pork belly and grilled veggies to the fries. And I got a side of pesto ranch, and the spicy sauce. My partner sandwich combo came with fries and a soda. We also got the sweet potatoe croquettes, a classic scone, a peanut butter and jelly cookie, and oatmeal apple pie cookie (with no raisins ) and a lemon cheesecake cookie and two sugar-free English toffee iced lattes with coconut milk. We also ordered the Apple coleslaw, but they initially forgot to give it to us. Everything was sooo good and fresh and fast. The service was friendly and accommodating and inviting. They even had some games on the wall and my partner, and I played a few hands of Uno. The portion sizes were adequate, especially for the price a partner, and I felt like it was really inexpensive. An absolutely worth its value. The only downside, I suppose how you look at it, is that they don't accept tips. And I really thought the person working in the counter deserves a tip. They were so thoughtful kind and explained every time I had a question. I would absolutely go here again read more

Every single bite at Fat Buns Cafe tastes like a labor of love.
