    Great service and food. Make this diner a destination on your travels. Best biscuits and gravy.

    Stopped in by chance on the way to a hike. So glad we found this place! Food was amazing - especially the bread. Debbie was our server and she was really friendly. This place is definitely worth the the stop!

    Awesome bakery goods! Fresh made daily.

    On our last morning in Sisters, we met up with friends for brunch at the Cottonwood Cafe. We were…read morelooking for a local breakfast spot before heading home, and Cottonwood hit the spot. The table was filled with breakfast favorites. We ordered hotcakes, eggs, bacon, potatoes, and huevos rancheros. A couple of morning cocktails also made an appearance, including Cottonwood's version of a Bloody Mary and a rum-infused mocha. The huevos rancheros had a bit more kick than expected, but it worked. Our server was fun and easy to chat with, which added to the relaxed feel of the morning. Nobody rushed us, and breakfast with friends is one of those things that shouldn't be rushed. Will we be back? Probably. Cottonwood Cafe feels like a place where locals and visitors can both feel at home, and it was a nice way to wrap up another great trip to Sisters. If you found this review helpful, give it a like so it can help others discover a local favorite in Sisters.

After we sat down and started looking over the menu, our very friendly server came to take our order. Before she did, she apologized and told us she had some bad news--they were out of a few items. Unfortunately, it wasn't just a few things; it was almost the entire menu. They were out of bread, buns, and lettuce, along with several sandwiches, including the Reuben. She even asked if we wanted to stay given how many items were unavailable. I had been looking forward to their amazing smash burger, but since they were out of buns, that wasn't an option. Instead, I ordered a parfait bowl with a side of potatoes, and my mother ordered the buttermilk pancakes. This situation is unfortunate not only for the customers, but also for the servers, who are left trying to provide good service despite having so many menu items unavailable. Sadly, this experience was disappointing enough that we won't be returning.

    I came in here on a warm summer day, there was plenty of shade from the umbrellas outside at the…read moretables, because it was about midday. I went in, and initially didn't like the vibe. Too messy and scattered, even for a "kitschy" little coffee shop. I was pleasantly surprised as I talked to the front counter ladies to get my drink figured out, as I was trying something new to me, and my first time here. They warmed right up, and made me THE MOST AMAZING!! Strawberry Banana Smoothie. I can't do dairy, so we skipped the yogurt? and the mix base powder. I had it made, at my request and their cordial obligement, with just oat milk, fruit and they added the ice I think. It had the most beautiful flavor, sweet and fruity. It tasted like it had dairy in it.. even though it didn't. It was THAT good!! It had the most delightful little crystals in it that weren't like ice, they crunched like protein powder. It was the most beautiful feeling. Best smoothie I have ever had!! My barista's name was Ellery, she was very polite, warm and personable. We all had a good chat, and a good laugh. I love the small town vibe here. And the cute little inside, warmed up to me as I milled around and looked at things while they made my drink. They have, to the right of the front counter, a self service area with a pay station. So if the line's busy, and backed up, you can just get your own stuff, that is, if you don't need an espresso. Super cool!! It works on the honor system. Such trust!! Love it; the old school way of doing things in a business. They also have the most beautiful gluten free cardamom muffins they make in-house, and they're HUGE!! I didn't have one, as they do have dairy in them. Unfortunately they don't have any vegan options other than a gluten free, vegan bar, and something else I don't recall. The outside seating has birds that visit in the bushes, and it's quite quiet from traffic, on a busy midday weekday, I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed my time here. And I believe you will too.

    What a treat! Had a white mocha with caramel drizzle. Husband had a blended mocha. Both were great…read moretasting and refreshing. Small but inviting coffeehouse. Love the alpaca influences. Service was top notch. Totally recommend.
