Has Gone Downhill

by pnwvk at Citysearch

I am so sad to say this local landmark has gone downhill. I am willing to pay for exceptional food but the last few times we came here, the food was just average. Our bill today came to $28. One Italian scramble, one donut, one cinnamon roll. Two orange juices and one apple juice and one coffee.

The scramble was nowhere near as good as it used to be. The sausage tasted old. It was a huge portion, that part hasn't changed. The cinnamon roll was half dry and chewy (the interior was good) and the last 3 or 4 rolls have been the same. The worst part?

They used to serve fresh squeezed orange juice. We got frozen concentrate, and each glass was $3.75. Wow. I can't recommend this place anymore :(.

• Pros: Great View of Mt Rainier
• Cons: Pricey for Average Food

Poor customer service

by cher 1 at Citysearch

I received a gift certificate for the restaurant.. They refused to honor the certificate because it said it was for dinner. They do not serve dinner until evening which we did not know when we went for an early dinner.

I feel they should have honored the certificate anyway, thereby assuring future business from a satisfied customer. They just alienated a potential future customer. I will definitely not recommend them to anyone because of their attitude.

• Pros: Food is good
• Cons: Customer service is terrible

awesome breakfast!

by sconey_mccheese at Citysearch

i go to this bakery/restaurant 3-4 times a month. its now the only place i eat breakfast. their omelette's are outstanding and always fluffy and perfectly cooked. they come with a side of perfectly crispy hash browns. the coffee they serve is delicious. the baked goods they offer are on the rustic side, but they are very delicious.

this is a cute old fashioned bakery where you can fill your gut and be satisfied all day for a reasonable price.

there is a long wait on the weekends, but thats because its "THE" place to be for breakfast, and well worth the wait. i havent had their lunch or dinner only because i love their breakfast so much!

• Pros: very nice servers, ample parking, good food- good price
• Cons: bit of a wait on weekends.
