    Lattes

    This is the CUTEST brunch place ever I love it SO much. The whole ambiance of the entire restaurant was just so perfect. Cozy cottage vibes all the way!! They also had a bunch of plushies and trinkets in the front that you could browse through while waiting for a seat. We came as a party of 4 on a Sunday morning and got seated within 20minutes. Now for the food. DELICIOUS. The portions were pretty large and the lattes we got were incredible (I mean just look at all that whipped cream). We came here a month ago and I still think about it sometimes. 10/10 will come back here if we are ever in Port Angeles again.

    Pepper-jack lodge

    We visited this place this morning for breakfast before our big hike. The inside is so cute...it has a rustic vibe but also feels current with some of the decor. The staff is sooooo friendly and they were amazing. Food comes out fast and it's all fresh. We ordered the coffee cake, cinnamon roll, traditional breakfast, pepper-jack lodge, and my daughter got pancakes. The traditional breakfast was perfect!! The hashbrowns were so good, as were the eggs. The cinnamon bun comes out and doesn't look like a traditional cinnamon bun, but it was sooo good. I definitely recommend getting. The portions are big so if you are not that hungry, you could share a plate of something with someone else and both leave full. With my order of traditional breakfast, I requested the pancakes- its that or toast. I didn't expect them to be full sized pancakes, so just some info to keep in mind when ordering. Overall, delicious food and great way to start our morning. I would highly recommend and also would return again for sure!

    We stopped in while we were in town for a wedding and it was amazing!! We sat outside with our dog and were given a dog friendly menu where we ordered our dog the Luna luncheon and she thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff was incredible, quick, friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious!! I'm sad we don't live closer so we could enjoy it again!!

    Popular breakfast/brunch spot in Port Angeles. I thought it was a decent experience but service was definitely slow. Don't expect this to be a quick meal especially during peak weekend times. My group of 4 came by for brunch Saturday morning around 11 am and it was hopping. Probably waited ~20 minutes or so for a table. While we were waiting, we had already perused the menu and knew what we wanted to get. However, after getting seated, it took us a while to get our server's attention to place our orders. It was a busy time for them, and they just didn't have enough workers on the floor. Everyone was running around looking super busy. I had a hard time deciding what I wanted to order as most of the options weren't super appealing to me (a lot of egg scrambles and omelets which I feel meh about). I ended up going for the bacon and brie scramble for $20.99. The unique thing about Chestnut Cottage is that with every breakfast entree, you can choose your choice of pastry. They offer a good variety of options, like muffins, coffee cake, scones, etc. After hearing all the daily flavors for each from our server, I went with the cherry strudel. The pastries came out first. It was nice to have something to munch on while we waited for our food. Each of my friends ordered a different pastry so I got to try a bit of everything. My favorite was my own - the strudel - as it came out warm, but the coffee cake was good as well, super light and fluffy. I personally thought the muffin and scone were just okay. Our mains came out after another 20 minutes. My scramble was good, but a scramble is a scramble so it didn't really wow me. I also enjoyed the hash browns on the side which were very crispy. Weirdly, one of my friend's dishes, the pulled pork lodge, was served without hollandaise sauce. One of the main reasons she ordered it was because she wanted the sauce, so it was disappointing to see that it was missed. It took a while for us to call our server over and then another while for them to bring out the dish with the sauce on top. Like I said, service is VERY slow here. Between the mains and the pastry, portions are huge. Most of my friends weren't able to finish their food and packed the leftovers to go for later. We were probably here for close to 2 hours from start to finish, from the waiting to leaving after paying the check. I know Chestnut Cottage is a super popular spot for brunch in Port Angeles, but personally I fail to see the appeal.

    Bomb breakfast! Everything we ordered was so tasty and generous portion! Especially love the coffee cake (huge slice) and my husband had country fried steak said it was the best one he had in a while. Our waitress was super lovely and kind as well. She made sure to double check my coffee cake had no coffee (I know I just learned today too!) Will definitely visit again next time we are in Port Angeles.

    cinnamon roll & mimosa flight
    Regina M.

    Wow, this was the best breakfast I've ever had in Washington! Portions were HUGE! We got the breakfast tacos, cottage wrap, mimosa flight, mocha and cinnamon roll to split. The cinnamon roll was the best I've ever had in my life! We came at prime Brunch time on a Sunday, and had about a ~15 minute wait. Food comes fast!

    Shellie T.

    After being sat at a table, just outside of the kitchen door it took almost ten minutes to get a glass of water. Also, the waitress was delightful. The food itself was less than exceptional.. the barbecue bacon burger almost no barbecue sauce on it and the best part of that meal were the onion rings. The chicken sandwich had no flavor and was actually quite wet.To include the bun, it sat on. This scone, however, was warm and the jam that came with it was heaven.

    Bloody Mary, mimosa flight, cinnamon latte
    Sneha P.

    We went here while visiting Port Angeles and Olympic National Park. This is a busy, homey restaurant vibe. We really enjoyed the Bloody Mary, which came with a piece of bacon. We also liked the mimosa flight, which had 4 different flavors. By far the most liked item was the house made cinnamon roll. It was so freshly baked and fluffy, soaked in a perfect syrup. It was great because the cinnamon roll was one of the choices for sides included in main dishes. The egg scrambles were delicious as well; we asked for a side of their chipotle hollandaise to add on top, which we highly recommend!! They also can make the crème brûlée French toast gluten free.

    Maple bacon scone

    The biggest and best breakfast! The mixed berry strussel my husband got was amazing! So was my scone but was sooo full from my scramble we had to take it to go! Great valve! I didn't have to season my scramble at all! Everyone is sooo nice! And the place is so clean! Simply the best!!

    Garden scramble

    A spot with a classic cozy breakfast feel. Nothing sparkly, but great basics with a family vibe. We had fine options as vegetarians and left full and content! But definitely leaned on the bland side of things, thankfully there were all the hot sauces, s&p, and ketchup an eater could need. Sweet servers make it feel like home.

    Coffee cake and apple walnut scone
    Sal R.

    I came back to this spot for this scone! It's served warmed with a side of butter and a jelly. We got the quiche, but it seems a bit lackluster, bland. More seasoning and more veggies/cheese in a quiche would've made it better. Service was fast. Go try to the pastries !!!

    Traditional Breakfast with pancakes & Montrachet Scramble
    Tiana D.

    Stopped in for breakfast on a holiday Monday for breakfast and there was a bit of a wait around 9:45. Portions are extremely generous and we definitely couldn't finish it all. The Traditional Breakfast was great! I opted for pancakes instead of toast. They were a little dry and I didn't love them. My partner got the Montrachet Scramble and really enjoyed it.

We had a 15-20 min wait on a busy Tuesday night but we're glad we waited! Our server was friendly and helpful with choosing cocktails because they had a to. Of unique selection. Haven't ordered more than one at a restaurant before but had to try two here! We thoroughly enjoyed our final selections of Ginny from the Block, Garden era, strawberry bourbon smash and Blackberry goose beer! For our mains we got the alaskan cod and chips and Blackened cod tacos and loved it all. They really know how to prepare tasty cod! The Alaskan cod and chips had the perfect crispy texture and my blackened cod tacos had all the flavor profiles you need. A hint of heat in the Thai chili slaw with a creamy avocado, Crema and the brightness of mango salsa and of course a touch of sour with the HOUSE made pickled red onions. Even better they let me substitute corn tortillas in for the flour. But you can't mix and match your proteins. I didn't need to because I loved both of my blackened cod tacos. The atmosphere is in the name: cozy Gastropub. They have a plethora of beers on tap, but parking is solely on the street so a little bit more challenging than picking your beer but I don't think it would be too challenging if you're up for a small walk. We were able to walk from our Airbnb, so didn't have to figure that part out. Pretty sure it was farther than any walk you might have to do for parking!

The food itself was a little underwhelming and overpriced for what it was. The roast beef on the pub dip was not fresh and lacked flavor. My fiancé took a couple bites and couldn't finish.

    Shockingly expensive for what we got…read more We came here with four adults and one 8-year-old child while trying to catch the ferry back toward Seattle. We had originally tried to eat at the gastropub just two doors down, but it was completely packed with a 45-minute to 1-hour wait. Meanwhile, Base Camp had only 2-3 occupied tables out of maybe 10-12, so because we were short on time, we decided to eat here instead. Unfortunately, I wish we had waited or gone somewhere else. Here's what we ordered: - Two alcohol flights -- $16 each - Dungeness crab dip -- $18 - Chicken wings -- $20 - Hot honey apple butter flatbread -- $16 - Garlic butter steak bites -- $20 - Cider-braised pulled pork tacos -- $21 - Mac and cheese -- $18 - Kids' cheeseburger -- $13 Our bill was $176 before tip. After a $25 tip and a 3% credit-card fee that we didn't notice until afterward, we spent a little over $200 for five people -- more than $40 per person, including our 8-year-old. My eyeballs practically popped out of my head when I saw the total. There were definitely some positives. I really like the concept of sourcing ingredients locally, and they even have a map showing where their ingredients come from. Our server was friendly. The chicken wings were really good, the fries with the kids' cheeseburger were also very good, and the cheeseburger itself was probably one of the better things we ordered. But for these prices, I expected considerably more. The $20 garlic butter steak bites were extremely chewy. Some pieces felt like I was chewing forever. The $18 mac and cheese was nothing special and honestly tasted like something I could make better at home. The $18 Dungeness crab dip was a very small appetizer and didn't feel worth the price. And the $21 pulled pork tacos were just two average-sized tacos. The portions in general were surprisingly small. Even when we asked for plates for all the shared food, we were given tiny appetizer-sized plates, maybe six inches across. Trying to actually eat off them without food falling off the sides was awkward. Full-sized plates would have made much more sense. The atmosphere wasn't particularly enjoyable either. The music was louder than I would want for a restaurant, and the speaker system sounded distorted and very bass-heavy. Instead of being pleasant background music, it was distracting and made the dining experience less comfortable. The alternative-style music selection also wasn't to my taste, although obviously that's subjective. A lower volume and clearer sound system would have made the atmosphere much nicer. I don't mind paying premium prices for a genuinely great meal. But this simply did not feel like a $200 meal. We ate at another pub the previous day and spent around $100 for all five of us, and we left much more satisfied. In retrospect, seeing only 2-3 tables occupied here while the gastropub two doors down was completely packed probably should have been our clue. I really wanted to like Base Camp because I appreciate the local-sourcing concept, and the wings were legitimately good. But between the small portions, very high prices, chewy steak bites, mediocre mac and cheese, unpleasant sound system, and $200+ final cost, I can't justify more than two stars. If we're back in Port Angeles, we'll be eating somewhere else.

We ordered it anyway and it tasted good but my mom couldn't try it. I think it would've been fine if the spaetzel and sauce were on the side (would've been my preference too) so it would also keep the schnitzel crunchy. But anyway, we also ordered the seared tuna, which was too garlicky for our liking, the shrimp boil, which was very good, and the fried chicken, which was just ok. My sister sitting in the next booth also ordered the brussel sprouts and that was easily the star of the show! This restaurant allows kids but I'm not sure if I would really consider it to be "kid friendly" since they did not offer a kids menu. All-in-all, food was good, service was honest, and we would probably come back.
