Beautiful store and location - bad staff and customer service…read more Visit on Sunday 1/11: the lady taking our order inside the store was on her first day and obviously struggled a bit (but was polite and asked us to be patient which we were since we realized none of the staff helped her when she reached out then on multiple occasions). Ok, the drinks: the lady making the order was clearly more interested in conversing with her co-workers then paying attention at what she was doing: our shaken espresso/half-and-half/extra shot of espresso had nothing of the customizations .... And wasn't even shaken, she just dumped all the ingredients and called it a day. Pike coffee: waited 10min as they forgot to hand it out: 'it'll be right there' was the reply 4!!! Times - patience we have but for incompetence not really. The restaurant looks beautiful and has a nice patio. For better reviews and more customers: change/train your staf! Not recommended!

Was super bummed to show up and see…read morethat it closed.. however in doing a deep dive search, we came upon a rise and shine and realized that they have the cattle dog menu and it's now part of this location. Their staff is absolutely amazing, the coffee was so good. And the biscuit that they sell from the prior cattle dog menu is a must try!! This place has the best vibe, people were playing cards, families, sitting and reading books, and seemed like this was the place to go if you were a local and they knew everyone's name. Stop in while passing through!! You won't regret it!!

So I'm guilty of not making the trek into Ramona for the full experience, but I snagged one of…read moretheir blueberry pies for Christmas when I saw them sitting at Frazier Farms! They were sitting right next to the Julian pies and it kinda looked like a fight, like a battle of the mountain bakeries kind of fight. Needless to say, I grabbed both because everyone immediately glorifies the Julian pie so by including the Ramona pie, my objective was to introduce some low risk novelty for my Christmas get-together. I didn't have high hopes for Ramona's blueberry because I was suspicious of the huge bready looking crust roll in combination with the sticker on the front boasting "no seed oils". I'm not fluent in baking alchemy. I was raised on Costco pie (bleh). So, I thought this was going to be dry and overly sweet but much to my whole family's surprise, Ramona was the winner! My takeaway: Do not discriminate the chubby crust roll! Take it from me because I'm a savage that eats a pie right out of the fridge. The crust is like a shortbread cookie. It's almost on the Italian pastry spectrum. Very delicious. Very coffee friendly. The blueberry filling was also perfectly balanced. It wasn't too sweet and even with the crumble topping, I felt like I could eat it with yogurt in the morning and trick myself into calling it a wholesome breakfast. Now, I'm going to say this with a huge shield up... but it knocked the Julian apple pie way off the shelf for me.

I stopped here to grab coffee before an early morning hike at Cedar Creek Falls. It's a tiny coffee…read morespot in a shopping complex with plenty of parking, which was convenient. The latte was actually really good, but the overall experience was average. There was a huge line when I arrived, and only one person was handling everything including taking orders, making drinks, and preparing food. She was clearly working incredibly hard, but it was just too much for one person to manage during a busy rush, so the wait ended up being pretty long. I honestly felt bad for her. I really think this place would benefit from having at least two people working during peak hours because the café itself is actually pretty cute. They have lots of games inside, limited indoor seating, and a large covered outdoor seating area as well.

Which I suppose was a good thing because everything was filthy. The small cups are now smaller than before. Which is fine, because there's still the extra large cups. This is the second time the flavors listed on their daily Instagram post were not available. Two of the three flavors I tried to get were extremely melted almost to milk. Last time I went the girl told me I'd have a $5 reward on my next visit. This time it wasn't offered or mentioned. And it was $20 for two small yogurts that melted within minutes. Not a great experience at all.

So we paid and and as we were sitting down the other girl rolled out the cart of toppings. we asked if we would be able to add toppings now and she told us no we would need to purchases sides of toppings. We did not tip when we paid because there was no toppings and the girl Was kinda rude. So we went back paid for a new yogurt with the toppings we wanted and the girl was even more rude aggresively shoved the spoons in the yogurt and had an irritated face. I could understand being rude if you were putting forth effort and working for your money and didn't receive a tip. But she literally just stood in one spot the entire time we were there and a simple question to her co worker would have let us know the toppings were almost done.

This wasn't just a fried chicken sandwich--it was a statement…read more You can taste the difference immediately. The chicken is insanely crisp on the outside, juicy and clean on the inside--not greasy, not heavy, just done right. The kind of crunch that actually means something. The slaw brings freshness and balance, the bun is soft but holds up, and every bite feels intentional. But what really sets this place apart is the sourcing. Everything is local. You're not eating some mass-produced, freezer-to-fryer shortcut--you're eating ingredients that came from nearby farms, raised and prepared with care. That shows up in the flavor, the texture, and honestly how you feel after. It hits that rare sweet spot: indulgent, but still clean. Even the fries--simple, crispy, not drowning in oil--feel like they belong next to it, not just an afterthought. This is what food should be. Real ingredients, done well, no corners cut. Comfort food that doesn't leave you wrecked. Local. Thoughtful. Straight up dialed.

Overall, everyone who works there is lovely and the food is always excellent!
