I had the corn kernel pancakes on my recent visit and they were perfection. Everyone in our group loved their soups and sandwiches. Outdoor seating is dog friendly so we could bring our bb. Nice assortment of pastries inside, and the soft serve ice cream truck in the parking lot is a welcome bonus treat. My only real complaint is about other patrons -- please bus your table when you're done your meal! A large group left a big mess that took up valuable real estate that others could have utilized. We ended up cleaning it along with ours when we were leaving to make room for the next guests.

Outfitters Grind is attached to a Thriftway (entrances both through the grocery store and from outside). Although it doesn't have a lot of seating, it's a quaint little cafe with all kinds of things to buy. The whoopie pies were tempting! There were so many flavor options I was curious about (they have quite a long list!), but I settled on the breve mocha on their main menu. The breve mocha was quite delicious, but it could've been a bit richer. Service was nice enough, nothing stood out about it but the workers were definitely respectful, so I have no complaints there. If I return to Forks, I'm coming back here for sure!

She told us we can have it hot or cold and however we want it, but when we picked one with energy drink she rolled her eyes and said, "that has an energy drink in it." We changed our order as there's no point in pointing out that she did say we can have it HOT or COLD. Duh! We read the menu; hence, the questions. We don't know what kind of tricks this coffee shop have up in their sleeves - considering "TWILIGHT" is plastered everywhere.

What a fantastic little hidden gem! We stopped at the Hard Rain Cafe after spending the morning…read moreexploring the Hoh Rain Forest, and it was exactly what we needed. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and from the moment we walked in, we felt like more than just another customer. We ordered the Bigfoot Burger, the salmon burger, fries, onion rings, and coffee. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot after a morning of hiking. The salmon burger was especially delicious, and the onion rings were perfectly crispy. The coffee was also a great pick-me-up before continuing our road trip. What really made this place stand out, though, was the outstanding customer service. The woman preparing our food took the time to chat with us, answer our questions, and even shared some excellent local tips--including a better route to see the famous Tree of Life. Those kinds of personal recommendations make traveling so much more enjoyable and are something you simply can't get from a navigation app. If you're heading to or from the Hoh Rain Forest, do yourself a favor and stop here. Great food, friendly people, and genuine Pacific Northwest hospitality made this one of our favorite stops on our Washington adventure. We would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area! Check out our video on our socials @Reessroots

Due to lack of options and being the only place to stop and grab a bite to eat until we got back to…read moretown we decided to stop in. This is a small little gift shop/cafe. They have local flavors of jams and candies including salmonberry and fireweed. They offer coffee and fast food type options. There are only a few picnic tables on the deck and a few tables below to sit at. We had to wait a little while to be able to get a seat. The bathrooms are porta potties out back. Uck. It can get rather crowded in such a small space waiting for your food. We ordered a burger, chicken fingers and a BLT. It took a little while to get our food as they were busy. Nothing was over the top good but it held us over until we got where we were going. The BLT only had two slices of bacon on it. So it may as well been a tomato lettuce sandwich. The burger was a standard burger. The chicken fingers had a different breading on them that I didn't really care for. If you need something quick to keep you going, it works. A little pricey for what it is and what you get. Next time, I will probably just make sure I eat well ahead of time or pack a lunch. But I definitely would stop back in to grab more licorice it is SO good!

I absolutely love NW Coffee Bros! I've completely switched from other places in town to go here…read more It's the closest coffee stand to my house, and the location is perfect to swing into the gas station for something from the hot case or simply to get gas. Their prices are great, I feel like I get exactly what I'm paying for and I'm not cheaped out. The baristas always have a smile and are extremely friendly. They take the time to learn your orders, especially if you are a regular. They have a wide variety of drinks they can make, including a kids menu. I personally love their iced tea, iced mochas and their lotus energy drinks. Their daily special alternates between a coffee and a energy drink. The baristas come up with fun specials as well. I love the convenience of the app, as I can order when I'm leaving work and usually can roll right through to get my drink. The only downside is the lines are usually 2 cars back, and I've waited awhile before getting to the window, but they usually apologize for the wait. I am extremely pleased with coffee bros and will definitely recommend them to anyone!

On a Thursday afternoon, with lots of Pacific Coast Trail hikers waiting for the bus, the only game…read morein town was the Bamfield Market Café. The nearby Bamfield Pub was either closed or out of business. The outdoor deck with tables is a nice shaded place to eat, so we decided to give it a go. Turns out both the menu and the ordering of food items happens not at your table, but at the cashier of the Market which is at the same store-front but a different and seemingly unassociated entrance - confusing at first, but manageable. We ordered a BLTC (what's that? a Bacon Lettuce & Tomato sandwich with a slice of American cheese) and a grilled ham & cheese. Both sandwiches were prepared promptly and served with fries - the sandwiches were edible but nothing special - I removed the slice of American cheese from mine - while common in these parts, it's not a plus. The fries were pretty standard, and offered with gravy or ketchup -- we took the ketchup packets and had to squeeze a lot of them out to get that working. So, do I recommend this restaurant? If you're hungry, they serve food, and they are your only restaurant option at lunchtime (at least when we were in town). So yes, I'd go again. Would I recommend the food? Not really -- nothing wrong with it, but C$ 35.70 for two sandwiches and fries was a bit pricey for such marginal quality. On the other hand, they are remote, so one can be glad that they offer anything at all. The other half of the operation (the Market part) is tiny with very limited selection, but they do offer many of the things Pacific Coast Trail hikers need. So while your options are limited, what they have should get you through (including some good ice-cream bars).

AKA: The Market Cafe…read more Upon entering Bamfield you quickly realize that your food options have become pretty limited. However, this little cafe, located right beside The Market, Bamfield's general store, is the perfect little reprieve for those that hunger for a good meal before an epic adventure or just returning from one. You won't be blown away by mind altering flourishes of culinary wizardry, but you will be presented with wonderfully large portions and deliciously prepared meals. Seating is plentiful and the serving staff (consisting of just one waitress) is very friendly and welcoming. You may need to flag her down if the place gets a little hectic, but she is quick to come over and help you with what you need. We came here for both breakfast and lunch and in both instances the food here left me satisfied and well fed. For lunch, their seafood chowder was quiet good, with good portions of fish and shrimp. My favourite though was their Bammer-time breakfast: hash browns, choice of sausage/bacon/ham, eggs any way you want them, avocados, and hollandaise sauce - all in one bowl. Whoa. It was definitely Bammer-time. And yes, the bowl was totally bigger than my head. Bonus: The cafe and the general store share the same wifi, which is free!

We all enjoyed our drinks and make this place our little stop in town, whether cruising through or grabbing camping provisions. The service is always friendly. It's a bit of a gravel truck stop coffee stand type feel pulling up, but the stand itself is nice enough. There's two windows, one on each side, servicing. Their service is a little slow because it's usually 1-2 people working max from what we've experienced, but we bake that into our expectations. We have not tried any food items here - just haven't had a good opportunity yet.
