Wonderful food, cocktails and service. Went on a Saturday about 10:30. I'm not a breakfast fan so I had the 1/2 turkey sandwich and lemon chicken Greek soup. Delish!! My husband is a huge eggs Benedict fan. He loved their hollandaise sauce! I had the apple cider mimosa, husband had a Bloody Mary, both were great. We walked right in, no wait. It was a great start to the day. read more

Food is OKAY. They messed up damn near every order. The GF pancakes are sour? And weird. Overall. Probably wouldn't come back.

Located down some stairs in a basement, this cozy cafe has ample seating for how small the space is. It's warm but seems to have decent ventilation ñ. They are family friendly with high chairs and a small plate menu that is good enough for kids. This place seems like the best prices for breakfast in town. No frills, just a cafe/diner style restaurant with a straightforward waitress running the floor. read more

I had such a great brunch at Renaissance Café today. As someone who's gluten-free and dairy-free, I really appreciate places that can accommodate without making it a "thing," and they absolutely nailed it. I ordered the Healthy Hash and a chai with oat milk (so good), and they also had gluten-free bread and soy butter, which honestly made my morning. I'm also grabbing a Bloody Mary, and everything has been excellent. The vibe here is what really sets it apart: super chill, cozy, and welcoming, with genuinely friendly staff. I also loved that they have games and beautiful photography/art books out and available to use -- it's such a fun way to actually connect with your group instead of everyone defaulting to their phones while waiting for food. I noticed the sign saying they're celebrating 25 years, and I truly hope they're around for many more. Leavenworth is such a cute German-style town, but as someone who can be pretty picky (and with dietary restrictions), it can be hard to find a place I really love -- and this one delivered on every level. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town. read more

It's an adorable little place in the basement. The decor is vintage and fun. The staff was friendly, efficieent, and kind. The food was fine. It's wasn't amazing or something to drive to this little town for....but it was good. It was standard breakfast food and hit the spot. I would absolutely go back again. read more

The food wasn't great. The server was very sweet, but didn't know the menu or ingredients well. She didn't know what a vegan was or how to accommodate one. The breakfast burrito I had made with tofu was very bland and mushy. My husband got the biscuits and gravy and said it was "disgusting." We had been here before, several years ago and remembered liking it. But it just wasn't good this time. read more

Gluten free and didn't get sick later! Excellent service and good food, a good option for sure. It wasn't super busy in the shoulder season (May), but I could see it getting really busy in peak seasons. read more

We loved it! Our server was amazing and checked in on us just the right amount of times. The food was really good. We had brunch because I like breakfast food and my wife likes lunch food. They had us covered. The eggs Benedict was awesome and their hollandaise is on point. My wife did a soup and sandwich combo and raved about both. We struggled to find anything open before 11:00 in Leavenworth and so happy we found this place. Highly recommended. read more

Cute atmosphere, great food, and very friendly service. My wrap was a turkey Cobb and I wasn't sure how it would work with the raisins but it worked. Really paired well with the bleu cheese. read more

We tried this place because it was open early at 7am. As we approached, it was super cute. Great signage. You walk downstairs into this cute Woman Owned Business. We were the first ones there. We were immediately greeted and seated. The coffee was great and served with a baby carafe of milk. Super cute. More folks started to trickle in so I'm glad we got in when we did. I requested my eggs over medium and my bacon, not too crispy and they came out perfect!!! I also ordered waffles instead of toast and wow it came with 4 slices. The waffles were a little too soft for my liking but they were still really good. Seriously, share the waffles with someone because there was more than enough. The business has recently celebrated 25 years in business and I can see why. You can also grab a cold beverage or some snacks if you don't want to have a sit down breakfast. The food is good and the staff is nice. I definitely recommend this place. read more

A go-to when we visit this town! The breakfast options are endless always splendidly executed. This woman-owned restaurant is a great spot to start your day right with a delicious meal and warm, hand-made drink. The owners are so nice and they really make you feel welcome. read more

Only place in Leavenworth with less than a 2 hour wait for walk-in on a December Saturday at 2pm. I think the menu is too big here, it brings down the quality of each item offered. I felt like my burger patty was a Costco bulk item. The pasta salad lacked flavor. The huge bowl of oatmeal with peanut butter and yogurt was awesome for our little girl. The best thing our party of 5 ordered was the Reuben- that was definitely a repeat order if we were to return. The chips that come with the orders are corn tortilla chips. They don't really match the theme of the foods that are offered. Service was pretty good and they were really accommodating of our 1.5 year old child. Ambience is completely different depending on which side of the restaurant you're on. One side is brightly painted and cheery. Ours was giving grandma's basement. Thank goodness for Christmas decorations to warm it up a bit. read more

We were welcomed right as we arrived. The restaurant is decorated as if we were in someone's home. It was warm and cozy. The food and service were great. My husband's favorite was the hot bean soup. And the kids loved their Mickey Mouse Pancakes. We really enjoyed our time here. read more

A decent stop for breakfast. The gravy was flavorful and tasted homemade. Other than that, everything was one-note. The staff was super friendly since you're in a small town. read more

All in all, this is a solid little cafe we tried while in Leavenworth this year. I was searching for places to have lunch when I stumbled upon the reviews mentioning gluten-free pancakes.. I obvi couldn't resist such a promise, and we popped in on our first day in town. It's a small space, as are most of the Leavenworth restaurants. The stairway splits into two separate dining areas, and the servers have to keep track of both sides. We were seated in the main one with the kitchen. It was busy, but we were lucky to snag a table and sardined ourselves into place. The server was nice but rushed, and we didn't interact much. I ordered the chocolate chip gf pancakes, and the husband's had a biscuits and gravy breakfast. On my way to the bathroom, I overheard one of the cooks commenting on my gf order and that the chocolate chips had gluten in them. It didn't sound like they were going to inform me so I popped my head in, mentioned it was my order, that chocolate chips with gluten would be something I've never heard of but if they could double check and lmk that would be great and I could always order something else if needed. One of the servers in there came by the table and lmk the cook was thinking dairy and all was OK! The pancakes and bacon were both very good and I enjoyed them. The husband was not crazy about his biscuits and gravy, but he's oh so picky. He cleaned his plate just fine. I think this is a solid casual little breakfast joint offering gf options and worth exploring if you're in Leavenworth. read more

This place was underwhelming to say the least. My husband and I came in for breakfast one morning with another couple and yeah, we had breakfast. Our server was not helpful and very snarky. We felt like she was insulting us with her comments - it was strange. The food was nothing special - we were starved so ate it - but none of us were impressed. I ordered an omelet with extra cheese, ham, and onion and there was essentially NO cheese (and we were definitely charged for it). When I asked about the cheese our server was irritated and offered to take it back but I was afraid to send it back because of her attitude. So I forced myself to eat a dry omelet with ham and onion just sitting inside of it. The toppings on the bloody Mary's were also questionable - they didn't appear fresh and the taste seemed off. There aren't many options in Leavenworth, especially during Oktoberfest fest, but I would have rather just gone to the store and gotten something quick than spending our time and money here. I'd recommend trying your luck anywhere else. read more

Renaissance Caf - Bloody Mary with questionable toppings and no flavor - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Leavenworth, Washington

Nice atmosphere, polite people. The pancakes are great. But probably the worst country fried steak I've ever had. I've had better frozen tv dinners! I would not order jacks plate ever again read more

The pros: Good pricing for the area. My wife LOVED the Rueben, and my Chicken Ranch was really good. There are lots of fun games you can play while waiting for your food (connect four, jenga, decks of cards, etc.) making for a fun atmosphere. The cons: it was unclear if it was a "wait to be seated" or "sit wherever you'd like" kind of place. When we asked about it, the staff seemed pretty short / unhelpful. One server in particular seemed like they'd rather not be there, and treated customers as such. Overall: great lunch spot, but don't expect to be in and out in a hurry. read more

Solid breakfast menu with a highlight of blueberry pancakes. I had Rhowyn's oats and a side of scrambled eggs, which were satisfying. I recommend adding a little bit of cream and maple syrup to the oats. My husband had Grandpa Ron's Plate with scrambled eggs, bacon, and a blueberry pancake. The blueberry pancake was the size of the dinner plate and full of big, flavorful blueberries. Definitely the highlight. read more

Quaint little eatery. Reminiscent of something you would find in Belgium. The service was fantastic. Bloody Mary was spicy and delicious.

The Renaissance Cafe is a nice cafe in Leavenworth. We went there during a busy weekend around Christmas so they were very busy, but the food was good. It is a very cozy place, with the nice touch that they have games like Connect4 you can play. We went there for brunch. I ordered something called the Curtain Call. This included two eggs, sausage, and then biscuits with sausage gravy. The eggs and sausage were both good, but the sausage gravy was exceptional, particularly when matched with the biscuits. Simply delicious. Service was a little slow and my friends eggs were a little undercooked, but food was very good and I would definitely go here on a day when not too busy. read more

Excellent place to dine. Excellent service and delicious food. Diana the person who helped us , is wonderful and nice.

Loved the eggs, Benny. Petite restaurant with great ambience. Great local establishment service was wonderful.

My wife and I are visiting Leavenworth for our 23rd Wedding Anniversary. We got an early start this morning and decided to stop at Renaissance Cafe for breakfast. The restaurant is at the bottom of a flight of stairs, in the basement of the building. That is not uncommon in Leavenworth as space is at a premium so quite a few shops are in the basement or second floor. The locale has no affect on the food though. I enjoyed a 3 egg omelette filled with my choice of available choices. I chose mushrooms, jalapeños, and Italian Sausage. I opted for rye toast and was pleasantly surprised that it was actually marbled rye! Everything was very tasty and I was very pleased with my visit. read more

If to relish in the idea of not being able to carry on a conversation over the screeching coffee foam jet that's likely loud enough to be an OSHA decibel violation then this is the place for you. If they forget to add the bluberries you ordered with your pancake, they'll offer to throe some on top (sorry, not the same as cooked into the pancake) rather than remake it the way you clearly ordered it. How is it known the order was written down correctly? Because you there's the upcharge on the bill for the blueberries you didn't get. At least the tables are crammed together Euro style to add to the claustrophobic vibe in this underground noise cave. The server only tripped over me once and I kept having huge Americans struggle past me. Next time I'll grab a sausage McMuffin and sit at the park. Great menu though read more

Food was OK, but quite pricey Service was variable: One server was pleasant enough, one was rude. Ambiance was quite pleasant. This restaurant is accessed via a dimly lit stairway with handrails that did not extend to the bottom of the stairs and the bottom stair carpet was in ripped and taped over with tape that was lifting. My wife tripped and fell, striking her shoulder on a solid bench armrest. I have never seen staff try so hard (and succeed ) avoiding noticing that a customer had fallen to their injury on their premises, despite the customer yelling in pain. After my son-in-law and myself, with no help firm the wait staff, got my wife to a table , there was absolutely no inquiry from anyone about how she was or to render aid. If the owners are reading this, just know, the callous attitude of some of your staff has made us determined to reciprocate. A lawyer will be in touch. read more

The menu is big and delicious choices are plentiful. This is a hidden gem downstairs and off Main Street. It's better than most restaurants in town. They don't have a kids menu, but you can easily put together a kids meal with their slider burger and a side of fries or half a waffle. They have so many good things to choose from. They serve breakfast and lunch all day until 3pm read more

Wow. What a cute place! The service by Dee was outstanding and the food was amazing. We generally like to check out different places when we travel but had such a great time there, we went back the next day. The Mimosas and Bloody Marys are awesome and the Mountain Lion Breakfast sandwich was amazing. read more

I've been to Leavenworth twice and both times I go to Renaissance Cafe for the best breakfast burrito in Washington. Oh my gosh it is so good...loaded with eggs, vegetarian sausage, salsa and I got avocado, all wrapped in a tender and warm tortilla. It comes with a side of breakfast potatoes that are perfectly cooked and an assortment of sauces to complement. The coffee is great too. This last time I went I got a dirty chai latte with oat milk and it was amazing. It was very busy, probably because of the octoberfest, so I had to wait for a bit and staff seemed a little unorganized, but I think the food is worth the wait and I was in no rush. I like that it's a woman owned company and the staff is nice and good at staying calm with a full restaurant and line to get in. This breakfast burrito seriously slaps esp after a long day of hiking! All of the other food looks mouthwatering too like the ginormous pancakes! read more

We had a great breakfast at The Renaissance Cafe this week. We had the French toast with orange butter. It was delicious and also included a healthy portion of fresh fruit. My wife also ordered a side of Country Sausage and she loved them. Give them a try, you will be glad you did!! read more

Food is okay. Not delicious but not bad to try. Place is cute and good location. Service so so. But hidden a lot of charge that not okay. They only have sign for debit/credit fee charge..this is okay. But other thjng they should have sign, notice or something to let customers know. They have service charge about 15% without notice when i ask staff she said it automatically after $80 spend Wowww...she can remove it but i said okay keep charge on that but you shouldn't HIDE like this. Then they have extra charge for to go containers. It will be okay for extra charge for the things but again YOu Should notice customer not hide like this. So we agree them to charge but we will never come back as food not special than other place. read more

Pretty decent stuff. Cute little downstairs cafe. Got the pancakes and the oats. Pancakes were fluffy at a solid 6/10. Still pretty decent. All the extras costs money though so the $value wasn't there for me. Oats were good, they layered the bottom with peanut butter. Overall it's average though lol. read more

We're visiting for a few days and this place was really tasty! We will be coming back during our trip for sure. The food was really refreshing and they are really accommodating for food allergies. They said they use a soy based butter on the grills. We came in around noon and it wasn't super busy and it was really nice to be able to hangout. They have trivial pursuit cards on the table and connect 4 so you have something to do while you're waiting for your food. read more

Stopped here for breakfast on our most recent trip to Leavenworth - I just happened to notice it when walking by and thought the name was cool and the menu had gluten free options. We got sat in a cozy little corner with a cute loveseat. The waitress was very nice, and the food was delicious - I got the health hash, which really hit the spot, and a cherry latte. Definitely recommend! read more
