Strawberry rhubarb hand pie
Mindi J.

I think some of the bad reviews for this place are for the wrong bakery. The staff here are extremely kind and helpful. Very large variety of options and as usual with a bakery I wanted one of everything. Everything was very delicious.

Just a sampling. Fresh ingredients help dictate the latest offerings.

Cannot say enough great things about this local Bakehouse. Working with locals to provide farm-fresh ingredients to help dictate the daily offerings. Super friendly, reasonably priced, and such fun decor from the butter stick benches to the baker-inspired light fixtures. Local artisans also have offerings including honey, special dog treats, and flowers. Local artists also get featured. The delicious and flavorful eats never disappoint. So glad to have them local.

This outstanding bakery is just what Columbia County and especially Rainier has been waiting for! You can taste the love in every bite! I made this delectable breakfast sandwich with their delicious sourdough bread!

Morning bun (delicious).

Our hot dogs were honestly fantastic. Love the bread and the homemade pickles. Our server was so…read moresweet and attentive.

After a long drive we stopped in Kalama to stretch our legs and get lunch. Walking by this venue…read morethe posted menu looked so appealing we decided to go in. It was Tuesday, we entered around 12:15, two of six tables plus bar seating were empty. The bartendress verbally greeted us and told us to take a seat anywhere. She gave us menus and glasses of water. We proceeded to watch her tend to the 4 tables of customers on her own. We waited about 10 minutes before she came and took our drink and food order. By this time there were 5 tables of customers. We soon realized that she was the only employee tending to the venue, saw no cook in the back. Took 20 minutes to receive our ordered drinks and 35 minutes to receive our lunch. I ordered the brisket tacos and my spouse ordered the salmon tacos. From our observation as she prepared our lunch, everything came out of a refrigerator and reheated. On her way over to our table she realized she forgot the small side of chips that came with the tacos. The brisket was nothing special and had no flavor. My husband enjoyed the salmon, however no smoked flavor. By the time we received our food there were only 2 tables of customers and the other tables sat dirty. A couple came in, came to the bar and stood for about 5 minutes before the sole employee could address them because she was busy with food prep. A woman with a laptop sitting at the bar suddenly got up and began busing the dirty table so the couple could sit down. Please not she made no contact with the new customers. I realized then she had something to do with the venue as she was talking with the employee about a supply order. As a former restaurant manager I truly understood keeping labor costs down, but this was lunch time and she sat at the bar the entire time we were there and did nothing to assist this sole employee until she looked up and realized all the dirty tables. Food prep, order taking and busing during lunch hour was left up to individual. The sole employee was friendly and delivered great customer service. If I was in town again, this would not be a place I would return to. Maybe weekends there are more personnel on duty. Providing lunch service with one person is questionable but not my decision to make, as a customer I wasn't impressed.

I ordered the Beaver Dam with cheddar and mozzarella for pickup. When I stopped in to grab it I got a chance to look around and this place has a fun, neighborhood vibe with a bar, seating and games like pool and darts that make it seem like a good hangout spot. The food was excellent. No frills, just tasty. The bread was perfectly toasted, the cheese was gooey and satisfying, and every bite hit the spot. After so many disappointing meals on the road, I was refreshed to have something so simple that was so well executed. It was exactly what I wanted. I found myself slowing down just so that I could savor every bite and by the time I finished I was seriously considering going back for another sandwich. If that doesn't tell you how good it was. I don't know what will. They absolutely nailed it and if I lived in the area, I would be here all the time. If you're looking for some good simple comfort food at a welcoming local spot, this is the place.

Disappointing. There for a 1pm Sunday lunch. One bartender had to service bar and tables. Service…read morewas incredibly slow due to that fact. Took over 30 minutes to get BLTs which had greasy toasted bread. We waited a long time with empty glasses to even order a second drink. 5 large screen tvs, right next to each other, and 4 of them had the same game on. Won't be back.

It is right on the main street so it's a little loud out front there, but it's very clean, organized, and the service is great. I was very surprised to find that I was charged $.75 for cream in my coffee, but also I noted that the coffee was just $3.25 so I don't mind paying four dollars, just surprised. We got there shortly after they opened and we were very delighted to learn we could order breakfast or lunch. I saw a Dutch baby on the menu and had to go with that. It was beautiful and well put together with butter, powdered sugar and fresh blueberries. The taste was quite eggy - I would probably not order it again My sister-in-law had a Cobb salad that looked pretty good. She seemed to think it was fine. My brother had a club sandwich on a bagel and broccoli/brisket soup. He said the soup was very good and the sandwich was all right. I did get a chance to go in inside and was very impressed with their restroom which included a mouthwash station, which is always helpful. Everything was very clean inside.
