    Sausage and egg hashbrown crust quiche
    Pamela F.

    Wow. What a great idea to use hashbrowns as a crust for quiche! The quiche hit the spot. Excellent.

    On an early morning drive from Mazama to Chelan, I spotted The Little Dipper Cafe and quickly pulled a U-turn and I'm so glad I did! I was short on time but in desperate need of a caffeine boost and a bite to eat and this charming little spot certainly exceeded my expectations! I cannot remember if I ordered a latte or a matcha latte but I do recall I ordered a quiche and everything was delightful. And I remember the quiche was warm, fresh, and filling! What I got at this small cafe in a remote mountain town rivals big city eats! And, better yet, the service was friendly and welcoming! The wait time was minimal which I definitely appreciated since I was on the road and had a time constraint. Prices were more than reasonable, especially considering the quality and the peaceful ambiance. I loved how the employees were still making pastries for the day in the huge oven of sorts behind the freshly baked pastries. I also loved the community posting on the bulletin board, such small town greatness. This unexpected stop turned out to be exactly what I needed. Even though I didn't have time to explore much of Winthrop, this brief stop in combination with the quick drive through definitely made me want to come back to walk around the town, check out all the adorable shops, soak in the Old West charm, and maybe even stay overnight. All in all, I highly recommend The Little Dipper Cafe if you're passing through or even better - make it a planned stop. It's great!

    this was a cute little (emphasis on little) spot open early enough for us to grab a bite to eat before hitting the road for our hike, and it seemed that everyone else in the cafe had the same idea. they had ample yummy breakfast offerings, different from the usual breakfast sandwiches. they had various delicious sounding pastries and even burritos, which we opted for. i got the trailblazer burrito, which was really good. the uncooked black beans provided a nice texture and there was also the addition of some kind of seed- i think sunflower?- and this also added a nice soft crunch. overall, this burrito was a great breakfast option to fuel me for my hike ahead.

    we went here every day while visiting Winthrop. we got the gluten free fudge brownie- to DIE for. the employees are unbelievably kind and helpful. the caramel macchiato is so so delicious, and i am not a coffee person! so yummy. and a bunch of gluten free options!!!!

I just wish we could've eaten here as we loved our craft cocktails and the vibes. Copper Glance is known for their craft cocktails with high-quality spirits and ingredients. Everything on the cocktail menu is worth trying, really! Our friendly server who ended up helping us the two times we came here was knowledgeable about all the drinks, so made perfect recommendations for us. I honestly can't say which is my favorite because they were all fantastic in their own way. Because we had our dog with us, we sat out on the patio, which was nice. On a sunny day, they even turned on the misters for us, which we appreciated and asked why more places don't offer this! Located in the main town area of Winthrop, it was walking distance to where we were staying and is near other restaurants and businesses. I'd love to visit again whenever I come back to the Methow Valley.

    Jupiter is one of the best spots in Winthrop to dine at, if not, the best. Despite Yelp saying…read morethat this location is temporarily closed, we decided to still walk by and see if it was open and it indeed was. What a win for us, too, because the food was fantastic and exactly what we needed. We visited Jupiter for dinner on our first night in town and after a day of sunshine and hiking, we were hungry. At Jupiter, the menu isn't large, but they have a good range of items to choose from, in addition to local beers and wines. We were pleased that they had a large outdoor patio area where it's dog friendly, which is where we sat with our dog. You order and pay first inside at the counter, snag a number and a staff member delivers your food to the table. My partner and I both ordered different protein bowls and a salad and had a hard kombucha. My protein bowl was delicious with the steelhead as my protein of choice with rice, beans, jalapenos, greens, pickled red onions, avocado and a cilantro dressing. It was very filling, nourishing and delicious! The salad was also very good, with fresh greens in a light dressing. Everything was healthy and wholesome and left us satisfied. I highly recommend visiting Jupiter if you're in the Winthrop area for a meal. They have fresh, whole foods that are packed with protein and everything you need after a day of hiking. Plus, the patio for dogs cannot be beat as we learned that not everywhere in Winthrop has patio seating. Something to be mindful of if you're traveling with your best friend. I would definitely eat here again when back in the area.

The cozy, cabin-like atmosphere was charming and perfectly suited to the setting. Day 2: Unfortunately, dinner was a completely different experience. After enjoying breakfast so much, we were really looking forward to celebrating our wedding anniversary there. Sadly, the service was extremely disappointing. After we ordered, our server never checked back on us. An hour later, he finally stopped by and asked, "How was your dinner?" We were shocked and had to tell him that he had never brought us our food! We asked to speak with the manager. Unfortunately, the manager wouldn't make eye contact, and brushed the situation aside. The manager didn't explain what had happened or tell us how he planned to improve in the future. It was such a disappointing experience, especially on our anniversary. It was surprising to have two completely opposite experiences at the same place. I don't think I would trust sending there now for breakfast and especially dinner!

This restaurant is part of the upscale Sun Mountain Lodge and well worth the 17min drive up the mountain from Winthrop. I was seated in a cozy booth directly facing the window front for the full experience and very much enjoyed the PNW cuisine as well. I ordered a Manhattan, the tomato caprese, and the ribeye steak. This was all top quality from the cocktail to the steak and I admire the attention to detail and creativity of the Chef. Of note, the steak was delicious, high quality meat, correctly prepared. Service was superb; the Dining Room will definitely become my new go-to restaurant when in Winthrop!
