They were incredibly slow and made the orders out of order, so we had to wait even longer because they skipped part of our order and made someone else's right in the middle of ours. My husband observed that they messed up every order before and after ours. They were also very confused by the request to make it decaf and the best part is no public bathroom. Order coffee here at your own risk!

negative stars for this place…read more I had high hopes because I LOVE supporting new businesses in town, they have a nice-variety menu, a wide variety of desserts and interesting things in their store ...but every encounter with this place has been disappointment first and foremost: their prices are through-the-roof RIDICULOUS which would be forgivable IF the food was good OR enough. see in photo how much I paid ($11) for a couple drops of ice cream and a couple meh cookies. plastic spoon for scale, I paid $7.75 for about 75¢ of ice cream. see how much those cookies cost? not worth half that another time I got their $13 mushroom goat cheese sandwich which was bland = infuriating for $13! see in that other 1-star review that they use "Great Value" brand in their smoothies = YUCK!! this makes it quite clear that they do NOT care about quality. what other quality-free ingredients do they use? last thing: I left an honest comment on a facebook post and the Whistle Stop owner reported my comment to the group admin = passive aggressive. I wouldn't be surprised if the 5-star reviews for this place are family & friends of the owners & employees. steer clear of this place, friends, there are MUCH better options in Willits go to Karkar's or JD Redhouse for sammiches go to Scoops or JD Redhouse for milkshakes or ice cream go to Mariposa for smoothies

It was actually a local doctor who recommended the restaurant! Last week we ordered special Thai food for Mother's Day with the in laws, and it was superb. I tried a new dish for me, the Clay pot prawns. The cellophane noodles are just delicious and full of sauce, the prawns were tender and plentiful- it was an instant hit. Our new favorite thing on the menu. I am driving home from work tonight, and drove by the restaurant to stop in and have the dish again. It's so delicious. Large portions, and I love the woodear mushrooms too! I recommend this dish (pictured) as well as the pumpkin curry, and pad Thai. The owners and employees are very kind and welcoming. I hope more people frequent the restaurant- they sure deserve our support!
