It's…read moreone of those places that draws you in with the smell of fresh baked pastries and it's kind of one of the only places to eat in Stehekin!!! On day one, my friend and I made a pitstop during a bike ride and split the marionberry pop tart which was huge and as delicious as it sounds - flaky and not overly sweet. The next day, we went back and shared the cinnamon bun (which lives up to the hype) and a slice of quiche that was flavorful, filling, and a great balance of hearty and light. I also ordered a hot latte which gave me the energy I needed for another day of exploring! The service was a little hit or miss - friendly but inconsistent. I can understand, though, as this place gets busy and the employees were very clearly working hard to keep up with orders. I appreciated the day old bin which is not only budget friendly but perfect for PCT hikers! The Stehekin Pastry Company felt like a true community hotspot as I saw locals, visitors, and PCT thru-hikers all gathering over coffee and baked goods. All in all, Stehekin Pastry Company is pretty much a must visit when you're in Stehekin. There is great food and a great atmosphere in one of the most beautiful, remote places you may ever visit. It's worth the wait!

We started at the produce stands, featuring all sorts of fruits, veggies, and other locally-grown delights. I enjoyed one of the most delicious, juicy peaches I've ever had - I wish I'd bought more! After the food stalls, wandered to the various arts and crafts booths featuring everything from spice mixes to any and all types of arts. The assortment and levels of talent were spectacular. Parking here was a bit difficult, but that's mainly a testament to how popular this little market is. If you're ever in Twisp on a Saturday, I highly recommend stopping by. Pro tip: they're only open until noon, so get there early.

Their apple fritters are made with their own organic apples, and you actually get tasty pieces of apple in them and they don't have a nasty fried aftertaste. My fav was the caramel pecan (or something like that) with lots of nuts and rich frosting on top of a well made no hole donut. My husband really liked his daily special strawberry frosted chocolate cake donut with chocolate chips on top. I'm not a fan of the combination but all the elements were top notch. Lastly was another daily special, can't remember what they called it, but there was a square of chocolate marshmallow treat on the top, peanut butter frosting, and sort of a creamy caramel filling inside. Rich? Oh, yeah. We didn't have room for any of their savory donuts but I think one had a curry filling and it looked good. We will go there every time we're in Twisp, and you should too. I believe they open pretty early, 7 or 8. Nice and helpful people and you are dealing with at least one of the owners, too.

Excellent find on our way out of Winthrop. Most of Twisp Works was closed (weekday right around…read morenoon), but Lal's Fork food truck serving Sri Lankan street food was just getting started in their parking lot. Smelled good. Menu looked good. Great impromptu lunch! They offer curry & basmati rice plates, and you can choose whether you want 1, 2, 3, or 4 curries. We shared a 3 curry plate and selected mushroom, dahl, and mango (they had a selection of meaty curries as well). Food came out promptly, and we enjoyed it at one of several picnic tables under a large tree canopy which offered protection from the rain this day, but would be equally good for providing shade on a sunnier occasion. Each curry was so flavorful, it was hard to choose a favorite. Even between the two of us we probably consumed a little more than half and took the rest with us. It was just as delicious later on. And the hot sauce accompanying it was really spicy and tasty, too. Lots of teens showed up as we were finishing our meal, so this must be a popular high school lunch spot as well. Lal's Fork was such a happy and unexpected discovery!

I wasn't expecting to encounter a Sri Lankan food truck in Twisp, but what do you know? There it…read morewas, parked on-site at Twisp Works (also worth checking out). If you aren't familiar with the cuisine, Sri Lanka is a South Asian island country in the Indian Ocean that is a neighbor to India. While it is not part of India, I would describe the food as having many similarities, while being its own distinct cuisine. For example, we had vegetarian samosa at Fork, and while many of the elements were similar, the taste was different (spices, some ingredients). The curries were also distinctive, including a fruit curry (mango). The most unique dish appears to be a classic Sri Lankan item called kottu roti, which was chopped roti bread mixed and stir fried with vegetables and meat (or just veggies). This was my personal favorite, though the spouse was pretty into the samosas and the mango curry, despite "not liking mango." It was super hot that day, but luckily the picnic tables have tree cover for eating. Judging by the weekday crowd of workers on lunch, Fork seems like a hit with the locals, and it's easy to see why. This would be food hard to come by in some U.S. cities let alone a pretty rural area of the Pacific NW. Check it out if you are visiting or live nearby!

Disappointed this location only offers 8oz and 12oz sizes. The coffee is above average with a great flavor and smooth finish. The eating area needs some additional ambience, it feels cold and not inviting as others. There is a nice retail area but very little branded retail items. Don't think sitting outside is the answer, with a huge parking area and NO asphalt or dust spray added, makes it just too dusty to enjoy your morning coffee or visit with friends. Fantastic service from everyone up front. Everyone is doing their job it appears. The restrooms are very clean. They lost one star because of the parking lot and latte sizes.

If I died and woke up living on Carl's farm in…read moreStehekin, Washington surrounded by flowers and fresh mountain air I'd genuinely believe I had made it to paradise, though I would love some books and cats too, hehe. During my short stay in Stehekin, I visited The Garden twice, first during a scenic bike ride and again the following morning as I walked back from breakfast. I was absolutely blown away on both visits. The property is peaceful perfection, nestled along the quiet valley road. I could have sat there all day listening to the bees, smelling the flowers in the air, and listening to the breeze. Carl's beautiful dahlias were in full, vibrant bloom and it was clear they were well cared for. I purchased some of the best blueberries and peaches I've ever tasted and also treated myself to a lovely hand salve. There were also natural soaps, tinctures, and other handmade goods that Eire reflective of the deep connection this space has to the community and land. Although perhaps the most priceless part of the visit was some time with Carl himself. What a warm, thoughtful, and fascinating soul. He's been living in Stehekin for over 50 years so I'm sure he has some fascinating stories. We chatted for a bit and I feel like I could have spent all day talking to him about the garden, the valley, the changing seasons, and life in general. If you're visiting Stehekin, do NOT miss this spot. The Garden is not just a farm it can be an experience, a pause in time, a little corner of the world that reminds you of what truly matters!!!
