Food was really good. Service was great. They were very friendly and sweet. I got Pad Thai and for…read morethe first time, I had Pad Thai without ketchup which was a good thing. For me, ketchup in Pad Thai just isn't good because it just ruins the dish. But this Pad Thai was real Pad Thai and I LOVED it so much. I love it and definitely will come back.

You can often see her in the background kneading pastry dough and assembling Baps which is essentially a Scottish bread roll/ sandwich. Everything on the menu is noteworthy whether you are looking for a sandwich, savory pastry, soup, salad or a cappuccino anyway you like. I highly recommend Shonas for great food and supporting a local business.

They just recently revamped their cafe making it even better than before which I didn't even know it would be possible! Huge thank you to all of the staff who make everyone feel like family and welcomed as soon as they step foot in the door.

So glad we discovered this cute destination restaurant and market! First off was amazing customer…read moreservice, a great variety menu of smoked meats, plates, sandwiches, loaded potatoes and salmon (of course;). The smoker is onsite and all ingredients sourced from local farm or markets in the area. The owner Frank was very friendly gave some great suggestions even checked on us with drink refills. Such great service so rare anymore. We had the most amazing 3 cheese mac and cheese with Brisket the small was big enough! I'm so glad I up'd my salmon kiesh meal to also include the side of the salmon chowder. It was definitely the best chowder I've ever had, complete with flaked smoked salmon on top of a creamy and hearty salmon w/ potato soup. We were so full after our meal I would not normally order dessert. However, he did recommend that we may want to try his wifes amazing homemade carrot cake with the cream cheese icing (which I prefer over an overly sugary one) I am so glad we ordered a slice to go. I ended up having that for breakfast the next morning with coffee and it was out of this world so moist with crunchy nuts on the cream cheese icing. Yum! The cafe is located in downtown Chehalis, which is a cute town. They are completing updates to their 100yr old building. They have an upstairs loft with video games and a dozen tables connected to an artesian market downstairs, think gourmet foods, mead, craft items, fancy bloody mary mix, and they also sell smoked salmon, smoked cheeses in their cooler. I will definitely be back when heading thru Chehalis. What a find!

Finally! After three years of living up here in Centralia/Chehalis we finally found an above and…read morebeyond! I think the name threw me off because it sounds like a seafood restaurant and I do not eat things that come from the ocean. But then I saw someone make a comment somewhere on an online post about this place and it's Mac and Cheese so off to Yelp I went to look it up. After reading the 30 something all 5 star reviews and their menu, I yanked my husband's arm, got in the car and beep beeped us straight there. What a gem of a place! We got to seat ourselves, plenty of open clean tables to choose from. We were greeted immediately with a friendly smile. I ordered a small mac and cheese with pulled pork and he got a smokehouse baker. We both got a side house salad. The food arrived quickly and it looked delicious! Then we dug in and it tasted better than it looked. Even though I got the small I still couldn't eat it all, it was a good sized portion. After we paid our bill via QR code, we looked around the shop they had set up inside. Local artists crafts, artisan snacks, cheeses and of course their smoked salmon for sale. I'm kicking myself for not buying something but I am not worried because we are already talking about going back! Just one thing to note, they are not a dinner spot, they do close at 5pm, 6pm on Friday and Saturday. It works for us my husband likes his dinner at 4. Thank you NWSS! Cant wait to become a regular of yours soon!
