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

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

I have had the Kalbi fries which are amazing and are actually just as good warmed up after they get cold. The pineapple chicken sandwich is one of my favorites foods Iv eaten, fresh and real ingredients. The sparkling strawberry basil lemonade is a must try, absolutely refreshing! 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

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

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

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

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'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

Had high hopes for this cafe. Sadly didn't live up to expectations. Left out lemon cheez cake cookie on our order. Pork belly sandwich was ok, chicken sandwich totally mediocre. We tossed the leftover halves of our sandwiches. Have no interest in coming back... read more

This restaurant was recommended by my sister and it was fantastic! The staff were so friendly and thoughtful. The restaurant is super clean, and the food was delicious! Honestly, I was really surprised at the quality of food, given how affordable the prices are! I can't recommend this place enough, truly. We live in Seattle, but will definitely be back when visiting family in the area. read more
