Simply amazing mix of quantity and quality. A visual experience watching the cook whip out some mighty fine gourmet breakfast and lunch fare. Cozy establishment with friendly atmosphere. We are thrilled to have Take a Break in our neighborhood. neil read more

2 years in a row eating breakfast here. Excellent food and service. Do not nibble on anything before coming, they fill the plate with excellent food and keep your coffee cup full. The only negative is the home made biscuits could use some help, they are a little dry and bland. read more

It was nothing special, I was really surprised considering the reviews. Big portions doesn't always mean good food, plus our waitress, a short brunette haired woman, started off our experience with a very bad attitude. So rude. Was it bad enough to walk out? No. Was it worth the drive from our home at Lake Wenatchee, no again. Won't go back. read more

Sweet little place off Highway 2, great people running it, but best off all, real food prepared with flair and taste. Bacon Spinach Eggs Benedict was fresh, tangy and delicious. Eggs were perfect. The whole menu offered nice touches that spoke of homemade care . They had a small print of The Blues Brothers on the wall and they were playing a Pandora station that featured Stevie Wonder and Bill Withers. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

The corned beef hash here is awesome!!! I'm usually really picky when come to corned beef, it was either in a can or not crispy enough for me. My husband ordered a sausage omelette and it was so delicious with carmalize onion, mushrooms and pepper. read more

Took my mom out for breakfast and we wandered into Take A Break Cafe in Dryden...What a find! Breakfast menu is filled with traditional fare and some specialities of their own. Service was outstanding and mom's breakfast wrap with gravy on the side was out of this world. Took a menu home with us because they do orders to go. We will be bringing more friends to this place! read more

Just driving through on our way to Leavenworth we wanted something simple like quick diner food. The place was pretty packed so we sat at the bar. My boyfriend had an omelette and I had a grilled sandwich with a cup of soup. We were so glad we stopped, we might just make this our go-to when we are driving through there from now on! Large portions, delicious food, what more could we ask for? read more

Very small old time feel Cafe. Ordered the Denver omelet,it was more like eggs half folded over a ton of onions with some bell peppers and ham mixed in. It wasn't bad. The toast was really good. I would go back for the fact the service is quick and it's not very crowded. It is also out of the main town area which is nice. read more

Yummy food. Feels like an old cafe inside. The wait staff is friendly and the service is quick. We had a Rueben sandwich and a Philly sandwich with fries and it was great and made on site. I would definitely come again. read more

The best breakfast in the valley by far. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it. The So-Be-it is fanominal choice of breakfast meats 3 eggs done how you like either hash browns with cheese and grilled onions on top or crispy delightful homefries all stacked on biscuits and topped with there amazing sage sausage gravy. There chicken fried steak is done right. They take a patite serloine and pound it out. I've never been a fan because I hate ground beef but the way they cook this dish has changed my mind. (At while eating there) I ordered the chocolate chip French toast for my little one and had to keep myself from snacking off his plate when they served it with salted caramel! Its absolutely to die for. All in all this place puts out very quality food for a super fair price. Eat here they won't dissapiont! read more

Take A Break Cafe - Half order! Wow! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dryden, Washington

Best breakfast in the valley! Can't beat the prices too! Get plenty of food and I haven't found anything wrong yet!

Thanks for the reccomend! I had to try the bread pudding French toast (4.00) and the half order of chicken fried steak (8.00)....you can see how much I had left over from the large portions. I don't typically like bread pudding but the French toast was amazing! The chicken fried steak was very good as well. Tons of great food for the money! read more

Great food, enormous portions (4oz. Chicken fried steak was huge!), friendly service. Can't wait to come back! 8:30am on a Sunday and it was packed, so the word is out. :) read more

Just had a wonderful breakfast. I had the So Be It and it was delicious. It was too big to finish. I definitely recommend the half order. The portions are huge! Very tasty though! read more

Breakfast is my favorite meal, and I'm hard to please -- but Take a Break put a smile on my face every morning for a week. Their French toast was the best I've ever had; the bread was chewy with a crisp cinnamon-flavored crust and perfectly cooked in the middle -- my favorite of all time! The omelette was wonderful, too; fresh-cut fried potatoes were excellent and the 12-grain toast was dense and scrumptious. Good prices. Good people. GREAT breakfast! Wish they were in Seattle so I could go more often. read more

Leavenworth local's best kept secret. Drive five minutes for a zero minute wait and the best sausage in town, homemade donuts and bread pudding French toast. read more

Wonderful people, food and free coffee. Clean and friendly. Huge breakfasts. You simply have to take a break here. You will not be disappointed. read more

Truly gourmet. The outside doesn't look like much as I've driven by many times. Stopped in for an early breakfast and was pleasantly surprised to see homemade items such as corned beef hash and a crab cake Benedict on the menu. The corned beef was hand cut and chunky, the crab excellent as well as the scratch chimichurri sauce. Huge biscuits! Very inexpensive and the portions were substantial. No breakfast place in Leavenworth even comes close to the quality here! Go early as they have less than a dozen tables and it can fill up fast with local repeat diners who have discovered a great secret. read more

This place is AMAZING! Looking for a fantastic "from scratch" meal with a great price tag? This place is it! HUGE portions. HUGE flavor. Great people. Great service! What more could you ask for? Biscuits and gravy...phenomenal. I also had a burger and it was so yummy. Not your usual frozen patty from FSA. Thick, flavorful, and juicy! Cozy place with local talent! Actually filled our teen boys up ;) Wowed every time I see an order come out. read more

Great food! My husband and I can have breakfast and coffee for around $20.00. What a deal! They have gluten free options! Even a blueberry granola buck wheat pancake. Portions are big. Seriously love it! read more

One of my favorite places they have good service, clean and speedy service. The employees are all friendly. Would suggest eating at this location in the possible future. My favorite is the "country fried steak". read more

Back for breakfast two days in a row should be a good enough recommendation as we almost never do an immediate return. Went with the bacon spinach tomato eggs Benedict today as I had corned beef hash yesterday. Both were excellent. Best hash I have had in a long time. Biscuit was so good yesterday, ordered another today as a side. Be hungry or share. Best value in the Leavenworth area. A two person operation and they seem to somehow keep up with good sevice. Great choice of background music. read more

Excellent food the corned beef hash is real!! The hash browns like home made huge portions

One word, amazing. Don't leave without trying the bread pudding French toast, and the sausage! Some of the best food I've ever had! And very affordable. read more

This place rocks for breakfast or lunch. Fresh reasonable and clean! American diner kind of food!

Walking in they gave my friends and I judgement right away and we felt so uncomfortable that we left.

One of the few places that has a Monty Cristo on the menu. It was excellent. Went with a large group so tasted a wide selection of the menu. All were good. Homemade curly fries. Huge portions so would split a meal next time. read more

Fast friendly service with large filling portions. We stopped in for breakfast during a stay in Leavenworth. The fresh baked biscuits were amazing! read more

Went there today at the urging of a local vendor down the road. Place as a hole in the wall. Hard to see. BUT, the food was amazing. I had a blue cheese bacon burger. It was in the top 5 most amazing burgers I've ever had. The curly fries were amazing as well. My wife had the corned beef and it was great. Kids had the Philly Cheesesteak (amazing) and one of the breakfasts (mostly excellent). We also had a strawberry and apple pie. Both were very good. The only bad thing I found was the service was a bit slow. Many times our waters were empty, and it took about 15 minutes from the time we were seated until we placed our order. read more
