Food was amazing. The staff are so friendly they make you feel at home. And there is a wonderful place to stay just down a bit from the Cafe. read more

Lunch was way affordable. Hand-cut chicken tenders... same with the fries. Delicious club sandwich and BLT. Offer of watermelon on an extremely hot day. Even the salad dressing seemed homemade. Friendly owner, which isn't always the case for us tourists in small towns. We walked in close to closing without knowing it. They stayed open beyond closing to feed us. Also: nice art on walls and comfortable booths. read more

I'm looking at the reviews below and am concluding that they must have been written during the previous ownership. The food WAS very good! We live in Mt Shasta and have, in the past enjoyed a drive to beautiful McCloud for breakfast at he White Mountain Cafe. We made that drive for breakfast this morning, WRONG! WORST "chicken-fried" steak, eggs and potatoes I've ever had by far. And I'm 82 and have eaten at a lot of places; got the belly to prove it! My friend had the standard bacon and eggs, badly over cooked bacon, terrible potatoes and runny gravy. Get it together guys. Have the previous owners back and learn how to cook. Now I have to call the people I've sent there recently and apologize. Damn, it could be such a good place. read more

Places need to update or produce accurate menus online. They are no longer serving some of the items shown in these photos here. Messed up our ordern way overpriced for the food. Pancakes taste squishy and like they came from a cardboard pre mix of the some dort. Scrambled eggs are wet. Reallt sucks because it is in the hotel, no where else to eat. Low quality food for a $50 tab. Oh and bacon uncooked on ends. I feel bad for feeding this to my child and the middle of the pancakes are uncooked. Just terrible food. read more

This place is amazing. We live about an hour away but make a point to come here for breakfast when we can. The house spuds are my favorite and are a must order. The eggs Benedict is the best I have had, but you also can't go wrong with the pork belly hash. I've never had a bad meal here! They do get busy though, so be patient and if you walk in at peak times with a large group, you'll probably have to wait. But they are a friendly group with a very talented kitchen so it is worth it! read more

When we got there, they said the wait time would be around 30 mins. We waited 45 before we checked again to know they won't be able to serve breakfast menu. The menu changes at 11:30 and at 11:20 they said they won't even be able to take our orders while they were getting the table ready. There was easily a way to accommodate considering we waited for so long. read more

Amazing and great tasting food. My hubby couldn't stop talking about his burger and how good it was. I had BLT with sausage and ham soup and it was to die for. Even iced tea was great. I recommend this place to anyone who wants to try home made tasting food. Staff very friendly too. read more

Breakfast is amazing at White Mountain Cafe. Simple made from scratch perfection. Biscuits and Gravy from scratch, great service and wonderful atmosphere. I would highly recommend an early morning hike Lower, middle, and upper McCloud Falls to work up an appetite!. read more

A local in Mount Shasta recommended this place when we told her we'd be hiking McCloud Waterfall Trail. Hit the cafe early and loaded up on a traditional breakfast with ham, a waffle with Marion Berry syrup (amazing) and a biscuit and gravy side. The little lady had loaded avocado toast which was a work of art. Great small town ambiance, attentive and very friendly wait staff. Highly recommended if you're wanting to fuel up for a day exploring McCloud's surroundings iShasta-Trinity National Forest. read more

First time visit for lunch, very pleased by the friendly service, simple breakfast/lunch combo menu and portion size.

The food is delicious and the prices are great. The portions are so big you never leave hungry.

Yum! Food was the best. So nice to be at a restaurant! Our group was in a panic ... where are we going to eat in MCCLOUD!!! YELPED restaurants and chose to walk to this cute little restaurant! The funniest thing was watching the people in the restaurant turn and watch us 4 walk in... new people in town ... during the end of COVID! THEY must have gotten lost was the look!!! Great food order was 100% correct and TASTY! We all 4 ordered different items and we all 4 loved ALL 4! Highly recommended and the shops next door as well!! read more

Decent coffee shop/diner serving breakfast and lunch food in the historical district of McCloud. We got a $20 credit to spend here so we paid $5 dollars in addition to our breakfast credit since we stayed at the Mercantile B&B. It opens at 8am. Friendly service. I got a vegetable omelet, tea, and wheat toast. Standard breakfast fare. Hash browns were good. Not oily which I like. read more

Pretty basic breakfast fare, but with very friendly, welcoming service. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the breakfast items that boasted fruit were presented with actual fresh, delicious berries. The pancakes were pretty big, definitely better than your standard chain pancakes but nothing particularly special. Juices were from a carton, but the ambiance was cozy and friendly. read more

Loved this tiny little cafe! My parents brought me here because they are known to have great breakfast. We got lucky and came just before the wave of hungry post yoga ladies showed up. Seating is fairly limited here so you have to come early if you plan to get a good seat. My mom and I each got the pomegranate mimosa and it was generously sized and delicious! My eggs benny were also tasty with the hash browns. The ambiance is casual with an old country style feel, and next door is a small gift shop. I would highly recommend the extra miles to get here from Mount Shasta for breakfast. All of the eateries in my small town seem to be lacking quality in the food department. read more

Wow the food here was amazing and delicious. The biscuits n gravy was the best I've ever had and i love their house potatoes. I loved it so much i had to go back that same day for a carnitas burrito which was also very delicious. This place is a must if you pass by Mcloud. read more

Once again, thank you YELP!! Excellent breakfast in a very cool old diner. Service, atmosphere, flavor, and portions all excellent. Berry syrup very good on pancakes. I did get a side of gravy to go on hash browns and that was the only thing that wasn't great... Gravy didn't have a lot of flavor so I wouldn't recommend the B&G. Would most definitely come here again. read more

Rudest staff I ever encountered in any restaurant. Made me and my friends wait for 45 mins for breakfast hours and at 11.25 am they told us they have table for us but won't serve us breakfast. It would have been better to let us know before 45 mins making us wait. read more

Best eggs Benedict and potatoes I've ever had! I love dining in restaurants that the owners are working with their team! Highly recommend!

We love the White Mountain Cafe. It has gone through a few owners over the years but the current owners have nailed it. The restaraunt is a great local spot right in downtown McCloud. Our breakfeast was outstanding. The eggs benedict perfectly prepared along with a great pancake entree as well. Friendly and attentive wait staff. Great atmosphere with 40's big band music in the background. Great experience. Highly recommended. read more

Great food, great service, great ambiance! This is not fast food, you won't be disappointed. And prices reasonable.

We were camping nearby and saw this place on yelp. Decided to give it a try for breakfast and happy we did. The chicken and waffles, biscuits and gravy and pancakes were great! Went back the next day with a bigger group but the wait time was too long and they dont seat more than 6 at a time. So tried to order take out but they dont do that either. We'll still go back next time we're in McCloud, just in a group smaller than 6! read more

I ordered the chicken and waffles with spuds. The fried chicken was great with actual pecan chunks. The spuds were outstanding. I also ordered a vegan burrito to go and it was so yummy. We can't wait to visit again before we go back home to Oregon. read more

This place is delicious, inviting and just a wonderful small town dining experience. Brunch is so amazing, as is lunch. Last time I visited, I tried the grilled veggie sandwich with a few side salads including a delicious and fresh broccoli salad. The service is always warm and hospitable. I would consider White Mountain Cafe a must do on any northern CA roadtrip. Stop here for breakfast on the way to Burney Falls or Mount Shasta hiking for a perfect day. read more

Amazing food!! Just off the road. Perfect stop when traveling! Lovely clean atmosphere. Nice people also.! All the food was perfect!!

Lovely lunch. Ordered the Log Scaler sandwich and asked for sauteed onions. The kitchen carmelized the onions, which tasted amazing! The broccoli salad was super yummy. Even the coffee was good! 5 stars for sure! read more

Hi Manager Del, I read your post below. We decided to give you one more try. As a person who has a second home in McCloud I know most locals are not happy with this place like they were under previous ownership. (Read the dates on the reviews to all checking this place out). There always used to be locals in there... Not today.... My dad was served an omelet with cold veggies inside and a brown sliced avocado on top. This does not say you are trying to change and is not a picture you want on Yelp.... We will not be coming back. You need food quality and a warm friendly community feel in there to get locals back. You should take lessons from Scott and Aubrey who used to run this place and who currently run the Shasta View Lodge. read more

We came over the hill to have breakfast at White Mountain. A downtown McCloud cafe that has nice booths overlooking clean as a whistle main street and set inside the beautifully refurbished McCloud Merchantile Hotel. This little cafe is a step back in time. Todays special, Chorizo Eggs Benedict, is to die for! Annie, our waitress was awesome as she filled coffee cups and bustled orders to the never empty tables. Our food came quickly, surprisingly, since the place was so packed. Full menu, with lots of originals. Try not to miss the pancakes with fresh berries, a local favorite. After breakfast we took a stroll through the Merchantile and visited the little shops within; another do not miss feature. White Mountain is a sweet little cafe with a big heart! read more

So many places offer breakfast but nobody does it as well as the team at WMC. I have worked my way through the menu this past year and have yet to be disappointed. Today was no exception. Had the Huevos Rancheros but added the carnitas for an extra protein... oh my goodness what a treat. Hard to believe a breakfast spot like this exists in such a quaint and so far off the beaten path hamlet like McCloud. Their recent addition of craft beers and mimosas add another level of wonderfulness. Had our mimosa with pineapple juice for an added plus. And now a word about their house made spuds. You have probably scene this advertised on numerous menus at other breakfast cafes but this is the real deal. Best I can tell they probably boil the chunks of potato, then brown off in fryer and then sauté with butter, red pepper and rosemary. Regardless of preparation the result is one of the most memorable house made "spuds" I've ever sunk my teeth into. And don't even get me started on their house brined and cooked pork belly...OMG it shouldn't be legal. Thank you WMC for making breakfast in our part of Siskiyou county a culinary delight read more

Wow, serious disappointment. Something has changed and it is NOT good (new management/owners?). We are not 'locals' but spend a lot of weekends here in the summer camping and the winter snowmobiling, and this restaurant was a 'must do' that we looked forward to on every trip. We eat here frequently, and it always feels like home with great food and top notch service. We knew something was up yesterday when, upon arrival, we noticed a different menu,,,and the attitude of our server was not up to par with our usual experience. Yesterday, my husband decided to try a new item, pastrami with curly fries. When he placed his order, the waitress said, we don't have curly fries. Okay... I ordered the taco salad special of the day written on the board, and when I ordered it, she said, Ill see if we have taco salad. This morning my husband ordered his usual chorizo scramble and noticed it had a fraction of the cheese and chorizo inside. In some places it was completely empty. They forgot his toast, and when the error was pointed out, they returned with two pieces of nearly dry sourdough toast. I ordered menu item 'Capresa scramble',,,eggs, mozzarella, and "house avocado" with a balsamic drizzle...."house avo" had a little asterisk next to it, so I asked, What is house avocado? The server--different and friendlier than yesterday's--said, it's just avocado. When the scramble came, it had no avocado and no balsamic. When I pointed out the error, she brought me a tiny dish with three SLIVERS of brown avocado. I am SO sorry I didn't take a pic of that. AND she handed ME the bottle of balsamic from the kitchen and said I could put it on, and she stood there and waited for me to do so. ARGH. This weekend was the worst food and service experience we have ever had at this restaurant. We sincerely miss our old servers :(. Highly likely we won't be back. Very, very sad. read more

I was super impressed all the way around by White Mountain Cafe! I came in for breakfast with a large group of coworkers while working in the Shasta area. The food was amazing, portions HUGE (like I was painfully full), coffee delicious, and service and ambiance perfect. All that from one person working the front of the house and one person working the back! I will definitely come back! Especially for the biscuits! read more
