We went here on my step daughter’s prolonged birthday weekend. My wife had a slice of the vegetarian pizza and Rebecca, my step daughter had a crostini sandwich which was filling and satisfying to her and myself. Service was excellent. Recommended particularly for vegetarians and vegans. They have some nice deserts also!
I stopped for a pastry and coffee driving from Portland to Cape Disappointment State Park. I was aiming for an Almond Bear Claw as I really love them. They were sold out. I’ll have to get there before 10am next time. I opted for a Cardamom Sweet Roll and a Mocha. Wow!! It was wonderful! Next time I’ll have to start earlier and maybe get a Bear Claw and a Cardamom Roll.
Excellent service, selection and quality. Not a lot of inside seating. Convenient access driving and walking. Good coffee to boot.
My husband and I are suckers for tasty baked goods and made a couple of stops here on a recent long weekend in the area. On our first visit my husband had a almond bear claw and I got the morning glory muffin. Both were really good and not too sweet. I usually avoid bakery muffins because they’re often too sweet and cake-like but theirs is definitely in the muffin category with a good texture and lots of fruit and some spice. It was kind of magical with coffee and my husband thoroughly enjoyed his almond bear claw. We grabbed an oat cake to go which ended up keeping well and being a shared breakfast snack the following morning. On our return visit my husband got a piece of the ginger cake which was full of ginger molasses goodness. I had the applesauce spice cake and it rocked my world. So much so that when my husband went down the street to check out a bottle shop I popped back in to get another slice for the road. Coincidentally they’d just pulled loaves of oat bread out of the oven so I was able to get one of them too. I highly recommend finishing a weekend getaway with warm bread scenting the car for the drive home.
Being from Europe, pastry and bakery (sorry to say) can be pretty bland. If you want everything delicious this is the place. The fruit scones are my favorite (made with fresh fruit!), but croissants, bagels, baguettes and breads, coffee and tea. Absolutely worth skipping the free breakfast at the hotel! The young staff also great. (Sorry about the glass reflection)
