Cozy little cafe we found on yelp! We were welcomed warmly and seated quickly! Antonio was a very attentive and friendly server! We didn't know what to expect but the Cascade burger with onion rings was very delicious! The onion rings were crispy and came with a tartar sauce dip! The clam chowder was also very good and filled with clams! A very excellent last minute choice! read more

Stopped by Take a Break Café in Dryden on the way to Mission Ridge Ski Resort, and it was exactly what we needed before hitting the slopes! This place has a warm, cozy diner vibe--perfect for a relaxing brunch. The Eggs Benedict was on point--perfectly poached eggs, rich hollandaise, and a nice balance of flavors. The rest of the menu had classic diner favorites, all made with care. Service was exceptionally friendly--the staff made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. It's the kind of place where you can tell they genuinely care about their customers. If you're passing through Dryden, this spot is a must for a great meal and a friendly atmosphere. read more

I came to Take-a-Break Cafe with my uncle and my aunt in the morning on Sunday the 5th of September 2021. I treated them to a breakfast out. The workers were friendly and the restaurant clean. One booth table was open, which we lucked out and got, and a few spots were open in the parking lot. When it came to payment, it was easy to get the bill before my uncle and aunt, who are regulars here, could grab it. I appreciate the wait staff didn't interfere and not let me pay. My uncle and my aunt both ordered scrambles, which were in the $12-14 price range and I went with a $9 ham burrito. The burrito was tasty, though the tortilla could have been a little softer. Some places provide huge portions, the portions here were manageable and the burrito was just the right amount of food for a morning meal with no leftovers. The scrambles and accompanying sides were not too large of portions either and my uncle and aunt greatly enjoyed them. read more

Food was ok, service was decent, ambiance? This place has changed hands since the last time I was here. They used to load you up with food. You could split the plate and still be full. read more

Found this Cafe by accident due to wa.dot.gov construction on the Vantage bridge, when en route to Spokane. Have been here multiple times since, every time, the staff is friendly (even the new guy) and the food is awesome. Regardless if breakfast or lunch meal (BLT) the bacon is cooked to perfection. We make it a point to visit every time we make the drive over the pass eve with the added travel time. read more

This is the epitome of a hole in the wall restaurant. What they lack in space they make up for in taste. My daughter and I both had the Dryden scramble with sourdough toast and it was really good. The host and waitress were very pleasant and on top of making sure we were good throughout the whole meal read more

Great hospitality and great coffee! Just off the highway before going over either mountain pass. Safe bet! Great food!

What a wonderful hidden gem! Our waiter was wonderful and so was all the staff. We got there shortly after they opened for breakfast and everything was beautiful and tasted great! My boyfriend got the Farmers Scramble and it was amazing. And I got a Veggie Omelette and it was so yummy! read more

I admit that I am hesitant to share this gem of a diner. Food is great with all the breakfast options. Open til 3. We each had bisquits and gravy then split a side of hashbrowns. I had a 'full' order of 2 bisquits and it was plenty...delicious so we ate every bit! Staff is super nice. Give them a try and 'Take a Break', just don't tell too many people...lol (Sorry, was so excited to eat, I forgot to take a pic) Full b&g, 1/2 order b&g, side of hashbrowns plus 2 coffee's = $27. Supporting local business = Priceless read more

Victor was awesome and the food was glorious! Table for 8 sat 30 minutes after calling, omelets were solid. Best strawberry waffles I've had maybe ever. Victor came by numerous times to check on us. Quaint spot with great service and food! Go there! read more

Everything here is amazing ... Especially the HOLLANDAISE Traditional Diner Breakfast

The biggest country fried steak I've ever eaten!!! My boyfriend and I shared the 6 oz country fried steak. For our sides we chose over easy eggs, hash browns, and white toast. We came in starving and we left SO STUFFED! And we shared the plate! My little sister got the 4 oz country fried steak with hash browns and a homemade buttermilk biscuit. She loved it. Her boyfriend got the single pancake, which was humongous and fluffy. He said it was super good! So overall the food was amazing. The gravy on the steak was so tasty that my bf and I finished our food to the last bite. We're not locals in this area as we are from Seattle, but we come to Leavenworth very often and this cafe is very close by! I definitely recommend coming here for amazing food and friendly service read more

Our almost 9 year old needed a restroom and we couldn't find a business with restrooms until we tried Take a Break Cafe. I wanted to be a paying customer in return so ordered a milkshake and a soda to go.... wasn't expecting much just wanted to respect the "restrooms for customers" sign...... honestly I gotta say it's one of the best chocolate milkshakes I've had, we shared it in the car. Super thick and yummy. And the bathroom was pretty clean. Nice bright, cheery yellow walls and wooden beams in dining area. read more

Outstanding roadside diner. Service and food were excellent. Their Biscuits and Gravy rock! Highly recommend them on the drive to Wenatchee or Leavenworth. read more

Excellent food, service and very accommodating. very clean restrooms.

Went to Take A Break Cafe on accident, and I'm glad I did. The food was amazing, the portions were huge, and the staff was friendly. I had the chicken fried steak and it was fantastic. The steak was actually hand breaded, not the frozen stuff you get at many places and the gravy was so amazing. I ordered the small one and it was two meals. The Welsh Benedict was also amazing, no fat in the corned beef read more

This a great staple On Highway 2 tucked between Leavenworth and Wenatchee. I typically get any one of their great breakfast items (though I hear they have a great lunch). My favorite item on the menu is the country benedict. Poached eggs over sausage and biscuits with sausage gravy and a side of country potatoes. Add a lil hot sauce and its perfect filling dish with a marriage of country flavor. They have some healthy options for those looking to eat a bit cleaner. The owners are the main cook and one of the servers who go above and beyond to keep the typically full house satisfied. A charming place with great food. If you're passing through "Take a Break" and stop into this amazing cafe. read more

Monster portions, great staff, delicious lunch I had the toadstool sandwich, corned beef with mushrooms, ripe olives and melted Swiss. Yum, wife had monster Monte Cristo sandwich, half for lunch and half for dinner. Small place, maybe 15 tables, we ordered to go. Probably as noted very busy at lunchtime. Note hours open. Big Y loses this contest! read more

In town for the Wenatchee River Bluegrass Festival, a friend who lives there recommended this for our early morning breakfast. Having traveled around the state to several such festivals, and eating at the local breakfast place everywhere, this is my favorite spot so far. Food was great and no waiting if you are an early riser. The place is decorated with cool musical instruments and similar art. Just right for a bunch of bluegrass folks. See you next year. read more
