    Excellent espresso
    Kaitlin K.

    Welcome to the best kept secret in ktown Kittitas Cafe is doing so many things right I'm not quite sure where to start!! Location is perfect, far enough off the freeway that I hope they don't get picked over by the crazy gorge groups from concerts, but perfectly nestled on the main strip in Kittitas. Indoor and outdoor (temperature controlled and covered) seating. Super clean inside with perfect music for breakfast and lunch vibes. Service is super friendly, staff seems genuinely happy to be on their team. Also quick getting our food and espressos. The food is phenomenal, I got the winter goddess special - think ciabatta bread, fresh hot and flavorful turkey with crispy lettuce and garlic aioli. This should be a standard on their menu, so delicious!!!! Excellent job KC, will be back for more thank you!!

    Hash w/ side pancake

    Little hidden gem in Kittitas. I like the counter service instead of sit-down. Staff was nice and friendly. Coffee was excellent. Great hash, crispy hash browns, eggs cooked to order. Side pancake was good for 3 dollars more. Prices reasonable. Cute and clean interior and nice outdoor patio. Definitely would come again.

    Tucked away in Kittitas is this cute gem with good drinks and amazing food. The menu for food is surprisingly big! All the food items I got were very delicious and perfectly made! They have something for everyone there for sure. Not too sure but i do believe some of their food like their biscuits for the benny were all homemade! For drinks, they have a pretty decent sized menu. Ranging from coffee, matcha, tea and energy/lotus drinks. Something they offer is a drink flight with 4 different options. The iced drink flights is such a fun idea! as someone who is very indecisive, i loved that i got to try 4 drinks and get an idea of what i like. The orange chai is amazing! There are a lot of options for seating too. There's indoor, temp controlled patio, and outdoor seating with tables and umbrellas. Service was really good as well. Everyone was super friendly and very knowledgeable about their products.

    Cafe cristo

    I have heard such good things about this cafe and finally tried it for the first time. The ambiance of the cafe was very nice! However, by the time I went mid morning almost all pastries had sold out. Service was quick, and they were able to make my coffee order that wasn't on the menu (Washington Americano). Sadly, the monte cristo (or cafe cristo) I ordered was terrible. The hash browns were just ok, crispy on the outside but almost mushy on the inside. The sandwich itself was dry and bland. They did not give you jam to spread yourself like a traditional monte cristo, instead they pre spread it for you. Additionally, the french toast was not even sweet, had no flavor, and lacked any moisture.

    We've been back to the Kittitas cafe a couple of times, generally on weekends when we're feeling like being a little fancy! Most recently, we came up here for lunch on an unexpected day, off from school, and were again delighted with what we found! The place is open for breakfast and lunch, and the situated right along the main street of Kittitas. It's truly a quaint spot in a quaint little town. Breakfast seems to be there forte, but we found they make a pretty lunch as well. I don't know if it remains like this, but I remember when they opened that one of the owners had been at Baker previously. It showed in the delicious biscuits that were available. For lunch, we enjoyed some delicious soup, a lovely, Reuben sandwich, a burger, and a Caprese sandwich. All of them were spectacular! The ladies and gentlemen, who work here are all very friendly, and make the place very inviting.the decor feels upscale, but not stuffy, and it's a bit eclectic. Most of all, however, it's fun! We continue to see a growing number of great small restaurants in smaller towns, flanking, bigger areas. This is a trend that we certainly hope to continue to see, these places are often absolute gyms, both of the community and for the area at large. This is one spot, somewhere you should absolutely check out!

    avocado toast

    such a cute cafe on the way back from the gorge. the outdoor patio was lovely in this september weather and the workers were efficient but friendly. there was a line out the door on sunday at 10:30 AM and it took us about 30 mins to order food. we had a larger group (7 ppl), but the food came out pretty promptly and we were able to find a table in the back patio. overall, will 100% stop by again next time in the area. the group's notes on the food: - avocado toast: 2/5. the least worth it. balsamic glaze was mid and the avocado flavor did not come through. cheapest item on the menu though - breakfast burritos: 4/5. warm, good flavor and the salsa added a tiny bit of heat. - pastrami hash: 5/5. really solid, warm and filling. 4.5 on its own but hot sauce bumps it up to a 5 - breakfast burger: 4.5/5. super filling. egg was perfectly runny and cooked. so messy but delightful especially w the gravy as a sauce. group's notes on the coffee: - coffee flight: 2.5/5. was bit too sweet for our overall taste, particularly the matcha and chai. matcha may be made out of powder because it coated the tongue. honey bear was the best (I would give that a 4.5/5) - koala comb latte: 3.5/5 sweet (the barista did warn me) but fun combo of flavors and you could still tell the espresso was good

    Biscuits and gravy
    Abby S.

    Amazing hidden gem of a cafe. Stopped here on our way back to Seattle from the Gorge and was thoroughly impressed. Service was quick and friendly and the food was delicious. Nobody left a crumb behind. I opted for an iced oat milk latte, the biscuits and gravy with the BEST crispy hash browns, and a single pancake on the side (always need a hint of sweet with my breakfast IYKYK). No complaints on anything. The outdoor patio was also perfect for a beautiful sunny summer morning. Can't wait to stop back any time I'm in the area.

    Is the outdoor seating pet friendly?

    It is not, there is a great shady park around the corner though!

    The Early Bird -- a truly great, innovative restaurant that is a must-stop if you're passing…read morethrough Ellensburg. I'm lucky to live here so I get to go at least once a month. While every dish is an eating experience, the Early Bird has monthly specials that are as unique as they are wonderful. The only problem: they only exist for that month (although manager Erica tells me they occasionally have made a monthly special a permanent fixture). Come early or late on weekends -- The Early Bird is often difficult to snag a table, especially on Sunday mornings and in the winter when they don't use their outdoor dining area. Also: their adjacent sister eatery, the Night Owl, is a similarly high-quality Korean restaurant.

    In this case, the early bird most definitely gets the worm…read more I visited this local cafe after seeing Rufus Du Sol at the Gorge. Unfortunately for me, many other concert goers had the same Sunday morning plan. While The Early Bird is delicious, it's by no means speedy. We originally received a 45-minute wait for takeout, but ended up waiting closer to 75-minutes. My order consisted of the Eggs Benedict bowl with the veggie medley, monkey bread, and a hazelnut iced latte. The perfect cure after a night of debauchery. You can tell they're doing their best to manage crowd control, especially the morning after a popular concert. Something to note is that you must have a table secured before ordering food. They don't let you order and wait to be seated to help lessen the crowding. Pro tip: the city park behind this building is much better spot to wait for your food. There's seating and even private bathrooms - a god-send after a night of camping at the Gorge.
