She always made sure our coffee was filled and consistently checked on us. I had the chicken pesto sandwich and fries. It looked amazing! Fries were tasty, crispy and hot. The sandwich was fresh as well but honestly... not a ton of flavor. I had to add some hot sauce to it. I'm also not sure why it's labeled as also serving Mexican in the yelp description. The inly item I saw was huevos rancheros. Lastly, it's labeled here as the Mountain View cafe but on the building it has a large sign that says the Log Cabin... so don't let that confuse you! I really like the interior and the wood like, cozy small town feel! I grew up in a town like Portola and it definitely took me back. I might come back to try another dish as I do like supporting small businesses!

I ordered the ham, egg and cheese croissant. It was good, but could have used flavor/seasoning. It hit the spot though for a quick bite in the morning. I'd like to try a lunch menu item next time to get a more rounded feel for the restaurant and add another review.

I have been coming to Graegle for a good portion of my life, and have somehow never made it here. Both the inside and outside was decorated for Valentine's Day, and it had so much character! I ordered a Vanilla Latte (per usual) and it was a 10/10. It wasn't too sweet and the temperature was perfect for how cold it was outside. We also got some hot chocolates for the little ones, and they were perfect temp and they loved them. The server was also so sweet and accommodating. I will definitely be making coming here a regular occurence whenever I'm around!

It's a blended type of service: order at the counter and the server will bring out your food. Self serve coffee and ice water. Our server/cashier had been very personable and attentive. For a Friday, during shoulder season, it was not busy. However, our food came out cold (with the exception of my sausage gravy - that was perfect temp). Might sound nitpicking about the food temps; but for the price you pay, you should have proper temps of things. Regardless, will definitely be back to try some other offerings. Note: if the place was busy, I would totally understand things sitting before being brought out...

She did mention she might be a bit biased since she works in the kitchen, but she was completely right: the food was outstanding. We ordered two burgers, a salad, and an appetizer to share among four people. The portions were very generous and incredibly satisfying. We usually prefer to restaurant-hop and have dessert somewhere else, but the meal was so good that we decided to stay and try dessert as well. While it wasn't quite as impressive as the rest of the food, it was still enjoyable and ended up being the perfect choice since it wasn't overly heavy after such a filling meal. A special mention goes to our waitress, Erin, who was excellent. She was attentive, efficient, and incredibly on top of everything. I always appreciate when a server checks in at the right moment to ask whether you'd like the bill or want to order anything else, and Erin handled everything seamlessly. She got us in and out quickly without ever making us feel rushed.

The menu was an array of apps like Bao buns, guac and chips to birria beef rangoon, entree salads and burgers including a mushroom burger. They were a bit understaffed - one bartender and one server. Neither super friendly or forward with info - we had no clue on the flow or what and where to go. We figured it out, but clearly a bit of an issue. We ordered at the bar, but from a server, and then sat outside. The poke bowl, while a tad bland was hearty, filling and solid. The deep fried onions on top were a really nice touch, although I did feel like it was over the top salty - I ended up drinking like a gallon of water when I got home. The Bloody Mary was really good... so props on that drink, with a blue cheese olive and all. Overall, such a solid spot. Well designed, hip and a solid menu. I'd come again if I was in the 'hood. * bonus for some limited parking in the back lot.
