On our day trip to LaConnor, we stopped in at The Rex to see what they're offering. We learned that the new owners, Karl & Jane, just opened a few days ago. This place is being revamped into a dessert bar. They are currently offering cold beverages, gelato and Lopez Island ice cream, along with sandwiches, fresh pies and other baked goods. We got some ice cream and of course, had to try the homemade chocolate chip cookie. It was a nice treat! I'm liking what we're seeing so far and will check them out again in a few months to see how they are progressing. It's a cute place with friendly owners! There is ample patio seating.

Huge double scoop!

Such an adorable ice cream dessert shop, love the. We ordered ice cream and . As you can see from the picture, the ice cream scoops are huge! I think they are revamping the storefront next-door into a restaurant possible bar. I would definitely come back when visiting family again.

If I could give zero stars I would. If you're a poc I would avoid this place. The moment my family and I entered the doors we got ugly looks from not only the staff but customers as well. We got sat after a while of waiting. And never got menus. The moment a a big group of Americans arrived they got greeted, sat and got menus while we were still waiting for menus or even water. We ended up leaving after they skipped us and went straight to the people that had just gotten sat, their ordered taken. Very disappointing

Great new spot in the Skagit Valley. My burger was delicious and the perfect size - The Bitty Burger. Good, cold drinks and wonderful service. Newly opened in March 2026. Hand cut fries!! So good. Worth the stop!! Fun bar, big tv for sports and such. Will have live, outdoor music starting April 3.

We decided to come here as a quick lunch stop. The owner and the young woman running the place are both very nice and the food/dessert portions are well worth the price. ~$45 for two large sandwiches, chips, and drinks (included 20% tip). They also had beautiful home-made desserts. The outdoor seating was absolutely beautiful as well! Well worth the drive and price!

There were some kids playing cornhole that turned into a bunch of kids, throwing the beanbags at each other and just running laps lol. It's dog friendly and there were a few of those there. I like that they have a water station and the server made sure that she pointed it out so we could serve ourselves. Our server took our order at the table and they brought us our food. We thought the hamburgers were delicious. My husband asked them to make his with sourdough bread otherwise it's a brioche bun. The fresh cut fries were great! We also started with a prawn appetizer, which was good. The cocktail sauce was tasty. It's different than ordinary cocktail sauce.

Our server was Rainey, she was awesome, very attentive, and came to our table right away to take our order. The atmosphere at Temperate Habits is very nice, there is outside seating but we sat inside due to the bright evening sun. Our meals took quite a while to arrive, I think we were at the tail end of the dinner rush and my guess is they have a small kitchen. My classic cheeseburger was about the most generic, predictable, and utterly boring burger I could imagine, and for $17 I would certainly not return for that or the mundane shoestring fries. The burger patty, bun, and fries were all non creative and the there was nothing even the slightest bit unique about my burger, in fact I swear it is the exact same burger that the Skagit River Brewery serves just around the corner. The surprise entree was the Crab and Lobster Tots, now whoever thought that would be good? The plate looked very strange to say the least but I have to say.... this dish was really good! So you'd think if they could create that total mayhem of a dish that they could get far more creative with the burgers and least have a house burger sauce or a higher quality bun for $17, something? I might return to Temperate Habits to have a drink with friends and share some tots, because they give you a large enough portion for four people, but I would certainly look elsewhere for a good burger. 5 stars for atmosphere and service, 1 star for the burger, 4 stars for the tots.

I really try not to let a few bad reviews sway me from trying an establishment, but I have to echo…read morewhat a few of them before me have said: the service/personality is severely lacking here. For what feels like no apparent reason. The bartender slinging beers--truly seemed annoyed and miserable with his life. And then the woman taking food orders? Also acted very inconvenienced. It was just kind of unsettling and unwelcoming. And then there's the part about the unexplained wait time for our food order. My sister ordered after us and received her brisket nachos in what felt like a timely manner. 10-15-20 minutes went by before we finally inquired about the wait of our brisket poutine. The same lady who took our order just matter-of-factly told us, "it's still being worked on," before another employee came to offer more of an explanation, stating that their ticket system had failed and missed some orders. At that point, we just wanted to cancel the order altogether and get on our way, but we were assured that it was being prepared. So then we opted to take it to go. Overall, what a wildly disappointing dining experience. Our to-go poutine had 3 whole cheese curds (had to pay for extra) and brisket that looked like dog kibble. I hate to dog on establishments, but this is one I really cannot recommend.
