I've driven to/from Hwy 2 off of I-5 or SR522 to head over Stevens Pass many times, but this was my…read morefirst time to detour off the main drag and visit the downtown retail area in Monroe. I specifically was seeking out Sky River Bakery on 3/15/25. I lucked out with a nearby parking spot and had an opportunity to check out the pastry case offerings while in line. There's also a few tables to dine at onsite. Pleasant small town, neighborhood feel. Both folks behind the counter were welcoming and kindly answered my questions. Nice assortment of beverages and baked goods available like biscuits, cinnamon rolls, cookies, muffins, cupcakes, and other pastries. The person ahead of me made it a point to have biscuits and gravy plus cinnamon rolls to go. Cinnamon roll got my attention! I ended up ordering a ham & cheese biscuit - got two mini ones for the price of one, plus a cinnamon roll. The latter kept really well refrigerated which I later ate for breakfast before work during the week. Nice that it was a manageable size and not too cloying with glaze...Goldilocks just right, lol. Enjoyed this destination detour and thanks to fellow Yelp Elites, Craig and Earnie for putting this on my radar screen!

They have a…read moregood selection of gelato and I loved their strawberry and honestly their coffee too (just too much for me in the evening since it would definitely have caffeine). The boba they have also have an ample of choices, they however uses powder plus the tea in their milktea so just keep that in mind, but definitely overall would recommend for my boba fix. The location does have nice parking lot. The staff is very hospitable and was super nice to give suggestions of what are best selling. The place has some boardgames for people to play with though a bit overused but still playable. They also have some ig worthy area for photos with their grass backdrop.

I DID appreciate that 25% sweet was actually 25% sweet. The croffle was better than the tea. It was good, not great. Service was very friendly and very slow. The place was clean enough, and also cramped.

I asked him how much it was he said $7. I then I asked him is it worth it and he said, " Yes!" With joy on his face. I immediately walked in and realized this cute little Mexican store was full of fruity, fun, flavorful looking food items. I ordered my mango raspados and watched it be handcrafted before my eyes. Blended mango, fresh mango chunks, sweet chili, and some other lovely things. It was my pleasure to receive it from her hands. And it does not disappoint. Not too sweet with a little bit of heat. Definitely going to visit this place again and I would recommend anyone to do so as well. So many more things to try.

Judy was a pleasure to work with, and our wedding cake was AMAZING. My husband and I went to her…read morekitchen twice for tastings (I had gone alone the first time, and my husband wanted to come and meet her too before committing) and her collection of samples (as opposed to her "top 5 best sellers" that a lot of other places used as samples) were incredible and allowed us to see some of endless possibilities for our cake. We finally decided on a hazelnut cake (that she actually grinds hazelnuts into the flour), with layers of poached pear (in pear liqueur) mousse and caramel mousse, with buttercream frosting. It was better than we could have ever hoped for, and many of our friends and family commented on it being the best cake they had every tried! We are counting the days to our "anniversary" cake that Judy will be providing us next year!

I really shouldn't have waited a year! Judy's cakes from Tallant House were incredible and…read moreabsolutely fitting of our wedding. We had a lot of fun exploring the different cake and specialty shops, with elaborate displays with many options to taste and choose from. Even at Judy's shop there were so many options. But she stood out because of her insistence on high quality ingredients, a perfection of layering light layers of cake with multiple mouse and fruit fillings, and her great focus on service and quality. My favorite part, besides eating the cake, was getting a computer generated preview of exactly what our cake would look like. Really, how cool is that? At our tasting she had the typical array of options, but she also had incredible combinations and flavors in mind that we didn't see anywhere else. The options weren't overwhelming either because Judy was careful to provide good constraints and recommendations on what goes with what. Not only that, she took great concern for the actual day of delivery considering weather and time of delivery. She warned us the cakes wouldn't be there by the time we arrived if it was too warm, so when that happened we didn't sweat. They magically appeared sometime after the ceremony and well before cake cutting time - they were on display and all. She came in and out like a ninja, we never saw her! In summary: amazing cake, great for foodies and serious cake eaters, fantastic service, and comfortable collaboration all the way through.

We ended up leaving earlier than we probably would have wanted just cause our baby decided it was time for us to leave. Since we had a baby I'm definitely more aware of how noisy places are that we go to and this is definitely the loudest place of all the places we go. Which looking around there is nothing to absorb the sound. So if you want a quiet setting this is not the place for you. We each had 2 drinks and we had the cornbread as an appetizer and we both got the burger and fries. My main complaint is our fries came out lukewarm, like they had been sitting a long time. Boooooo. Drinks were good as always. Service wasn't bad wasn't great. Our first time here (years ago) was outstanding and now it just feels ok, I'm not sure that we will continue to come here as often as we have. I'm sure we will give it a shot again someday.

I did not get a receipt. I was in the drive-thru lane so going back inside was out of the question as there is no parking access from that drive-thru lane. The young person working the window was curt at best. Zero personality. Why would you put a face like that on your business? Not a thank you. A look. Smile. Nothing but a bag of food stuck out the window. Upon pulling into an adjacent parking area to eat my lunch I noticed that both of my hotdogs had no condiments on them. None in the bag and I was not asked if I wanted any. I did assume that they'd have the basic ketchup and mustard. And lastly, what is it with the fast food places lately when you order a small drink and you get a much larger one? What a waste. Other revues have commented on the cost of a blizzard and I agree. My wife and I buy a small blizzard each and it's north of $10 or more. Forget asking for extra butterfinger or something like that...you are charged for it but really don't see anything extra in there. Probably going to be done with this place. Previous owners were friendly at the window and when you came into the dining room. New owners...not so much. The hotdog without anything on it was hot, I will say that, and the bun appeared to be steamed which is a good thing but a hotdog without toppings? Seriously? Who does that??
