So. Much. Food. Portions are very generous and food is delicious. Hubby had the special pancakes; savory with cheese and bacon. Kentucky potatoes were yummy. I had them for breakfast and had the leftovers for dinner. Highly recommend read more

Went back last Thursday & had mixed berry crepes. They were equally as fabulous as the blueberry ones. They are fresh berries, which makes a big difference. I'll be taking my friend here for her birthday breakfast this Friday. Think I'll try a different offering, just to be fair. read more

Excellent service, Devine food, and delicious cocktails! The best breakfast spot in Yamhill County.

The food was good, but what is up with these great places to eat and the coffee tastes like it's burnt. Also the place is too small for the amount of tables. You can't walk by with almost bumping into someone and the waiting area makes me uncomfortable. read more

Come when they open. The line was out the door to get in within 15 minutes of us being there. Shared the scramble. Was very tasty. Staff was friendly. read more

A very cute and quiet place in third. Friendly staff, and fun when the street is shut down for outdoor dining! Breakfast and lunch are both great! read more

Nice little café in downtown McMinnville. Everything here is from scratch and cooked to perfection. Great breakfast with homemade cinnamon roll, homemade patty sausage, hashbrowns from scratch and topped off with a homemade English muffin. good service and fresh black coffee. read more

Went for a late brunch and everything was excellent - the food, service and atmosphere. We were expecting traditional diner fare, which it was but each of the dishes had a fun twist and was made with quality ingredients and not too heavy or greasy. Will definitely be back next time I need breakfast or brunch in McMinnville! read more

This is another one of my favorite establishments to eat at. Both my husband and I enjoy each meal we've had. The crepes are just delightful. Everything is freshly baked and fresh local ingredients. The service is also fantastic. We receive excellent service from each and every one of the staff. I'd like to thank Jessica, Shane, Vicki, Jessi and Crystal for always making our experience the best. read more

I was a little nervous that our experience was going to go the way of the famous Portlandia sketch when the verbal description of the menu went on and on... not just locally grown, but most of the products used in the restaurant, including the beef, come from the owner's farm. We were spared a bio of the animals we were about to consume. Everything about the Crescent Cafe was just that little bit better than the typical meal, without crossing over into 'too precious' territory. We initially stopped by in the morning, but were too early for their lunch menu. After a visit to the amazing Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum, we returned for lunch. The whole staff joined in a chorus of, "You came back!" and it was a very lighthearted meal for the rest of our stay. One of their strengths is the bread. The menu is relatively limited, but the chef bakes a different type of bread for each sandwich and loaves are also available for purchase. I decided on a tuna melt that was served with a side of vegetables and my son choose their mac-n-cheese. Everything was delicious. Since we visited mid-week, we were spared the wait that most of the other reviewers mention in their reviews. Ours was a leisurely meal and so it gave us a chance to just enjoy the place and visit with the staff. On top of the food, I really appreciated the immaculate environment. Not just clean, but everything was thoughtfully done. I especially enjoyed the wall mural simulating windows overlooking fields. The entire experience from the host, to our meal, the server and the decor felt both precise and joyful. It is not often that you meet several members of the staff who so clearly convey that they enjoy where they work. Perhaps that makes the food taste just a little bit better. Prices are a little high and the menu is a bit limited. So close to a five, that I can almost taste it. read more

We've been attempting to stop at this place for some time. I'm often in the Mcminnville area so we will often stop off and try out some of the local haunts. As I got out of the car at about 7:45 (we didn't know when it opened) and looked at the door, someone also waiting in their vehicle rolled down the window and yelled "it's worth the wait". So, we thought we would heed that advice as we had heard that previous to this visit. As it turns out they were right. Three specials were discussed with us by the host who seated us. While the specials sounded great I elected to go off the small but very delightful menu. I ordered the breakfast sandwich with ham, egg, and cheese and there was no shortage of any of those ingredients. I thought about eating half and taking the rest to go, however, it was too good and I manage to eat the whole thing (I wasn't hungry most of the day after that, btw). Service was very friendly and efficient and they were quick with water and coffee refills. I ordered the diet coke (no refill offered) I know WTH am I doing at a breakfast place with a diet coke but what can I say...it's my thing. It's a small place with about a dozen tables so it does fill up quickly. I believe the hours are 8a to 1p. The closing hours are rubbed out on the door so I'm not really sure when it closes. It's open at 7a on weekdays and again, the same problem with the closing hours. I will definitely hit this place up again. As they said on the street, worth the wait. read more

This is a tasty little brunch spot in the heart of wine country. I have been here once before and returned this weekend. We arrived at 10am Sunday, the wait was about 30 minutes, which is actually on the lower end of what I expected. I had a blood orange mimosa, Matt had a coffee (there are not espresso drinks here). I ordered the Eggs Benedict, it was on special, not a regular breakfast item. Matt had the chicken hash. My dish was fabulous, one of the best Benedict's I have had, fresh hollandaise, thick smoky ham, and perfectly poached eggs. I opted for potatoes o'brien. The service was friendly and unobtrusive. The damage was $32 plus tip. As an added bonus we enjoyed a little stroll around downtown Mac after our meal.! read more

Great spot to have breakfast. Super friendly staff. I had the veggie hash. It was delicious with lots of fresh roasted veggies. Coffee was good. Nice place will be back!! read more

The employees ignored us standing at the entry way for at least 10 minutes, which was frustrating because they kept walking by and not making eye contact or saying anything about one minute. It was expensive but I guess it was worth it. read more

Yummy food, great service , wonderful atmosphere. This is one of my favorite places to eat breakfast or lunch .

This is a great restaurant in downtown McMinnville! Excellent food, home made fresh with unique choices. The fried cornmeal I ordered was delicious!

Great breakfast joint. Classics or creative--I had the crab cakes and eggs special one day, and French toast the next. Both were excellent. Service is efficient and friendly. read more

French toast to die for! Unfussy, cozy vibe, friendly service, strong coffee...what's not to love? But seriously--get the French toast.

Fantastic restaurant. Great HOMEMADE food and great service. Love the quaintness of the restaurant itself. Private and comfortable seating. All around great place and we can't wait to return. read more

Charming cafe and delicious food. I love that the downtown McMinnville street is blocked off for quiet, shady dining. Loved the fried cornmeal (polenta with green onions). - something different. Yummy, yummy banana pancakes and bacon with perfectly cooked eggs! read more

This place is unassuming but don't let it's shy image taint your preferences. The staff is warm and inviting. The food is absolutely delicious. I had the chicken salad with apples sandwich and lemon chicken soup. The homemade bread was possibly the best I've ever had. The soup was warm and savory. I just loved it all. Put this place on your list. Go, experience it. I did and I would definitely go back. read more

worse service ever! also, the chicken on the salad tasted and smelled funny. they exchanged it for a nut, cranberry, bacon and spinach combo salad. pretty chewy. we had to get up three times, once to pour our own coffee refill, two, to get a teaspoon of jam for the gf toast, and three, to get our own takeout box. I also got free medical advice...that i had a problem with my taste buds and I could have an underlying problem because their chicken was cooked this morning and was fine. That I should see a doctor. I thanked the old lady for the medical advice. read more

OMG. Sour Cream poppyseed pancakes. Melt in your mouth. Hubby had the biscuits and gravy; very fluffy. We were seated quickly and our server Victoria was wonderful. read more

Just all around very good food and service. I highly recommend you come here. We will be back.

I am doing Keto and this was a great place to come not only do they have low carb option omelette with ham cheese peppers and mushrooms, but they have real cream for coffee and stevia!! Was able to stick to my plan. Just make sure you come when your feeling strong other wise the yummy looking homemade biscuits and fresh potato hash may be to hard to resist! I did it proud of me :) read more

Such a cute little gem! The French toast was legit especially with the compote! My husband had the biscuits with gravy and the gravy was a light version that was delicious! Coffee was hot and the bacon was cooked perfectly. Don't miss this place! read more

Excellent!! My son are going this week. Love the French toast. Expect a waiting list but it's worth the wait/weight

The Crescent cafe is a gem in McMinnville. The food is delicious, arrives piping hot, and is served by some of the friendliest, most welcoming staff in town. The cafe is cozy and homey and your coffee cup never empty! read more

Delicious food! I had the chicken and biscuit and that gravy is AMAZING. Mimosas are also perfect. The staff is incredible. I would definitely go back for more! read more

Best breakfast place on 3rd St! Friendly staff, locally sourced dishes and reasonable prices.

Best breakfast sandwich ever, anywhere... They make their own bread. Three different kinds. When we heard the waitress tell someone they also make their own English Muffins, had to order one for dessert. And that was best ever too! Friendly and charming service too. read more

We were in town for a wedding and looking for a place to have breakfast on our way out. The reviews were right! This place is so so good! We all agreed this was the best breakfast we've had out at a restaurant in a long time. The servers were great as well. Two of us had the special country skillet and one had the basic breakfast (eggs, bacon & potatoes). Everything was delicious and fresh. All the bread and pastries were homemade on the premises. Highly recommend this place for a delicious breakfast. read more

We stopped here for brunch today. I made the mistake of ordering their daily special of biscuits and gravy. Our waitress described it as having 3 different types of sausage on homemade biscuits. When it came out, it honestly looked like cat food. It was in a brown gravy. It had no sausage, rather it had shredded ham. The dish was super salty and the gravy was watery so the biscuits were soggy. My husband's French toast was also completely soggy and his $6 side of eggs had no seasoning. The waitress stopped by our table a total of 1 time from the time she took our order until the time she dropped off our check. She point blank said, "you didn't like it at all, did you?" And I was honest and said no- it was pretty obvious since I had barely touched the plate- there was still a biscuit and a half (out of 2) and almost all of the eggs left. So essentially I paid $13 to look at a plate of cat food because I the untouched food was not taken off the bill. This place was not good. The food was absolutely horrible and the service was not much better. read more

Best Breakfast in Mac!! Never disappoints. The owner and staff are really friendly, very comfortable dining area, and very good lunch also! Very reasonable prices! read more

Loved the veggie hash. Ruben sandwich was loaded with flavors too. Very good service. We probably got our coffee topped off four or five times when we were there. There's a bit of a line at 9:30am but it's definitely worth the wait. read more
