    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.

    Came here for coffee and left with a delicious breakfast sandwich and a sausage quiche. Super friendly service - would highly recommend for anyone looking for a bite. Might be back to try one of the cinnamon rolls. Yum!!!

    We loved the veggie breakfast burritos here so much we had them twice on our recent trip to Winthrop.

    This place! Come to this place. They make what might be the best dessert I have ever had in my…read morelife. The meringue with ganache and whipped cream. The salt hit from the ganache is perfection. Extraordinary. And, you will be super full (as in not hungry for about 8 hours) if you share this dessert with someone. Egg whites!! Meringue is all egg whites!! And sugar. But it is a protein packed delight you will come back to have a second one before you leave town. No regrets!!

    I'm really surprised by the low ratings, especially pertaining to the service others noted. I was…read morein Winthrop for a week and came here practically every day! Pros- I felt super welcomed. The service I received was top notch! Molly, Vickie, and Jonathan were really cool, friendly, and went above and beyond for me. I fell in love (LOVE!) with their chocolate soda, literally! Hands down, it's absolutely the best chocolate drink I've ever had. I would go in daily to get one order to drink immediately and 1-2 drinks to go (no ice, I would chill it in the hotel fridge). I loved the drink so much, I actually went across the street to Aspens Grove and bought two pitchers, so I could get enough of the drink to share with friends (11 people in total!) And yes, everyone loved it! The chocolate soda was more chocolate milk, since they had a soda water shortage, but if it's as tasty as the chocolate milk - oh my! Other pros- everything they use is either home grown (they have their own organic farm) or sourced locally whenever possible. All ingredients are of high quality and organic (also whenever possible). My first meal was their curry chicken salad which had great flavor and coconut flakes which added a nice texture! Vickie is the master chef and the magician behind their dishes and drinks. She took time to come out and share the chocolate soda recipe with me. I'll tell you this much- she makes an amazing dark chocolate ganache as the base of their chocolate drinks! She not only shared the recipe, but told me where I could go to get the highest quality chocolate and at the best price too! I have 15 bars, so I will make it at home soon! In the group of 11 friends I shared the drink with- a friend's son told her that she needed to get a pitcher and take it over to Oliver's too, to get more chocolate milk! It is so tasty and I'm so thankful that Vickie gave me the recipe and that Molly demonstrated step by step how she makes it! Cons- when it gets busy, it can be slow, but honestly, I felt it was worth the wait. We will be coming back to Winthrop a lot, and I plan to make Oliver's one of my first stops (if not the first!) on all future trips!

It's…read moreone of those places that draws you in with the smell of fresh baked pastries and it's kind of one of the only places to eat in Stehekin!!! On day one, my friend and I made a pitstop during a bike ride and split the marionberry pop tart which was huge and as delicious as it sounds - flaky and not overly sweet. The next day, we went back and shared the cinnamon bun (which lives up to the hype) and a slice of quiche that was flavorful, filling, and a great balance of hearty and light. I also ordered a hot latte which gave me the energy I needed for another day of exploring! The service was a little hit or miss - friendly but inconsistent. I can understand, though, as this place gets busy and the employees were very clearly working hard to keep up with orders. I appreciated the day old bin which is not only budget friendly but perfect for PCT hikers! The Stehekin Pastry Company felt like a true community hotspot as I saw locals, visitors, and PCT thru-hikers all gathering over coffee and baked goods. All in all, Stehekin Pastry Company is pretty much a must visit when you're in Stehekin. There is great food and a great atmosphere in one of the most beautiful, remote places you may ever visit. It's worth the wait!
