To be honest I've never had a good cinnamon roll from a restaurant or store. They're always dry,…read moreand not glazed enough. However upon entering this hidden gem, I found my one true love--CINNAMON ROLL GALORE and now I'm a changed woman. The store itself is quite hidden behind Big 5 on Broadway. Nothing could stop me from finding the gooey cinnamon dessert so I went on a quest to find Erlei's and upon arrival I was invited into a sweet quaint cafe with lovely decor and sweet beverages. A sweet woman greeted me and patiently waited while I felt quite indecisive...but the glint of a glazed cinnamon roll caught my eye--and I made my choice...the choice that CHANGED MY LIFE The first bite sent me straight to heaven....and I don't think I'll see cinnamon rolls the same ever again... The spread of pastries and treats included cupcakes, quiche, scones, an abundance of various muffins, and the most epic cinnamon roll I had been dying for.

The fro-yo and toppings are self serve, and you bring up your cup to the counter after you're finished making your treat, to pay. The woman at the counter was very nice. Enjoy!

They also have several great cocktails and a gourmet coffee bar. I loved it! Locally sourced ingredients and grass fed beef. The biscuits were obviously made from scratch.

I wasn't happy about it but I decided to let it slide and hoped the food would make up for it. I was extremely disappointed with the food. My eggs Benny's egg whites were still runny, English muffin absolutely soggy and disgusting, with a thin slice of deli ham. The potatoes (that I wasn't informed or asked if I wanted onions or peppers by the way) were so grease soaked and cold that they were actually inedible. My partner's chicken fried steak was way overcooked, hard and tough. Just all around terrible. TLDR; given the completely wrong drink, food was impossible to get down, and no concern of my uneaten food by the server or owner. Not worth it at all.

I missed this cafe when it closed; however, the new owner is dynamic and fun, as is her staff. They…read morewaited on us as soon as all our party had arrived. I had the "Alliecat's Favorite Toast". It was absolutely delicious. Thick slices of sourdough topped with a smashed avocado, two eggs over-easy, very tasty cherry tomatoes, drizzled with olive oil and sea salt. The room has some really cool farm-type decorations, a hardwood floor, but the tables are far enough apart that you can talk to your guests and not have trouble hearing each other. The last question below was if a staff member requested me to leave a review - she did; however, I always like to share my experiences in case someone else has any questions. I am a repeat customer now.

This little eatery was busy, an old school feel inside there's not a lot of tables here, and seating is both inside and out. Friendly staff, was kind and helpful. Our server who is also the owner, dropped off a couple menus on her pass through and returned with two cups of coffee on her way back. After looking over the menu, I opted for the Ambers Breakfast Tots. Tater tots loaded, with cheese, gravy, an over medium egg plus one added and bacon crumbled all over. This is a seriously good breakfast. Filling and hearty, that hit to spot for me. 4 Stars a solid choice for breakfast 01181

So I had to post an update. We just finished a grueling drive. We were starving and it was 9:30pm…read more Eel River was a logistical choice. Our service was 5 star which helped since we were exhausted. I have a super strong recommendation for the Cali 101 sandwich. It might be one of the sandwiches I've ever had. The fried parmesan on the tops of the bread sealed the deal. My wife asked for a custom burger. Mind you, the kitchen was closing but chef pulled off a beautiful dish. I don't normally photo food but wish I did. My wife goes bun-less and they served the dish on a bed of spinach (which she requested and they had to dig for it). To do all that as the kitchen is closing says something. They could have just thrown it on top. I am completely stealing that one. I love amber ale and they make a good one. I hope we can squeeze one last visit in before we leave.

Sadly, most of the shops were closed since it's mostly seasonal and on a cold and foggy February weekend, it was pretty quiet. I found the Cat Shack Ice Cream stand while exploring the area. A nice young man assisted me. I ordered a cup of strawberry and spumoni. Very delicious! Almost ate the whole cup while chatting with him. His family has been in Ferndale for generations. The shop next door was his great grandpa's Ford Shop and the house on the other side belonged to his family as well. I love supporting a local, family business, even on a cold day! He told me all about Ferndale, how it is a small town and community. How it is mostly generational businesses and homes. It's hard to even find a rental, he says, without knowing anyone in town. He said everyone helps each other out and knows everyone. I love that type of town which you dont see much anymore. Please come by to support local business!

I thought it was called Get Your Licks based on the sidewalk sandwich board, but presumably there's a different owner though it was still a one-person operation in a standalone kiosk that invited drop-bys by its mere presence. This time I was with Jamie W. and I had a fond memory of the ice cream served here. I found out it came from the Oregon-based Umpqua Dairy. They've been making ice cream since the Great Depression. And I don't mean the Trump years. I went for a $5 Large Cup of Rocky Road and Espresso Chip (photo: https://bit.ly/3b3QF8t), while Jamie had the same size combo of Chocolate and Caramel Cone (photo: https://bit.ly/3tGgySk). We took advantage of the empty weather-worn picnic table and leisurely got our licks. It seemed like the perfect thing to do in the Mayberry-like town of Ferndale.
