    What a great location. Beautiful booths, great tables. Staff was very friendly. Food was amazing. Especially the baked goods Cherry Bars, Strawberry Rhubarb pie, giant Cinnamon Rolls! Not a chain. Stop by and enjoy.

    The special was a bbq beef sandwich - my friend really enjoyed hers. I got a create your own sandwich on freshly baked bread that was great. Ample parking, friendly staff, very quick service, cute decor. Although everything was tasty, my friend and I enjoyed our baked scones and coffee the most! Great for a quick road stop snack while we continued on our way.

    No little half & half cups here!

    You should have seen my guy's happy face when we walked in here, and he saw the family running the place in Mennonite dress. If you haven't dined at a place where these gentle folk own you will be in for a treat. Everything is farm fresh, and you will never find any bread products they didn't make. We had a bit of a drive to get home pulling a trailer, so we kind of took it easy this time. But that didn't mean our meals weren't filling. His breakfast sandwich had nice thick cuts of pit ham, and after a few splashes of tabasco he was in his happy place. I'm a biscuits and gravy girl, and their gravy was great, and the biscuits were so light with a nice sweetness to them. And I ordered a huckleberry scone that wound up in a box to take home because we were full. It made a delicious nosh for me this morning!

    Such a gem! Everything was fresh and homemade, excellent service and atmosphere and the cinnamon roll was divine! The food was made to order and came out as it was ready! Would highly recommend stopping here when passing through!

    My boyfriend and I made a pit stop here on our drive down to Moscow from Coeur D' Alene. You'll find delicious coffee, homemade baked goods (gluten free options) and breads. The staff was very friendly, there is a lovely interior and freshly made bouquets on the tables. I highly recommend everyone support this local business! We look forward to coming back our next trip.

    Coffee was awesome, biscuits and gravy was really good too. Scones were great. What an awesome gem to find on the way back from Pullman.

    Excellent food. Stop in for lunch, coffee or a pastry. I'm never disappointed by the Tamarack Cafe.

    Rather than apologize, she continues to blame the person who was attacked…read more When I called, I was asked whether we were a family who had come in that day. I was not asked whether we were the family who had yelled at or screamed at staff. Those are very different questions. Of course I said yes, because my wife and son had in fact come in that day. That misunderstanding is exactly the problem. Before you had the facts, you treated me as though I was calling to defend abusive behavior. We were not that family. My wife and son did not yell, did not cause a scene, and did not refuse to comply. My son adjusted his mask. You continue to frame this as though standing by your employee and acknowledging our experience are mutually exclusive. They are not. You could have supported your staff while also recognizing that a customer who did nothing wrong felt spoken to curtly and then felt wrongly accused on the phone. Instead, your response is still centered on justifying the accusation rather than acknowledging how your assumptions escalated the situation. I was only there for the phone call, and I know how that conversation began. That part is not in dispute for me. The larger issue is simple: we were not the family that mistreated your staff, yet we were handled as though we were. That is why this left such a bad impression. Nothing in your response changes that. I believe local businesses deserve support, and I also believe customers deserve to be treated with fairness, dignity, and enough care that assumptions are not made before the facts are known. That did not happen here.

    I haven't reviewed Sugar Babe yet?! I'm in here so frequently I decided to cut back on my Yelp…read morecheck-ins! I usually stop by for gluten free & vegan cookies (or other treats) for my husband, but sometimes I also get a drink or a treat for me. I tend to avoid the hot drinks because they seem too sweet for me (it's a college town and this isn't the only place I've run into this...) but I've enjoyed some cold drinks. Last year I also started getting our birthday cake from SB because they can accommodate the husband's allergies. It's just one cake because the smallest cake is pretty big and our birthdays are basically on the same day (if thinking about birth place time zones). I've already ordered this year's cake and am looking forward to getting photos when I pick it up. Bonus: The cafe is small but very cute. I've been so happy to see that more people have been hanging out in the cafe lately.

    This cafe is my second home. I started coming here almost a year ago and I'm here now almost every…read moresingle day. They are open Tuesday-Sunday. I'm not normally here at nights, but I think they're open until 5 Tuesday and Wednesday and then 9 the rest of the days. There are so many good things to say about this place, I'll try to keep it short (no promises): Having been coming here daily for a year, I've had the pleasure of watching the place and the staff grow. They had a couple of things going on when I first started coming here, but they've really branched out. Trivia on Fridays, WSU football games are live streamed. Open mic on Saturday nights, there's usually live music on Saturday mornings. Bingo on Thursdays just started. The owner supports local everything, including artists, authors, and musicians. There's a whole shelf full of board games and crafting supplies as soon as you walk through the door, so there have been multiple times I've been here with my kids playing board games and I've seen others do the same. The best part: Pet friendly. Beyond pet friendly. They sell puppy birthday cakes, kongs, pup cups, and quite few other dog related treats. There are multiple dogs that just hang out in the front with their owners, but there is a nice area in the back complete with booths and a barrier to allow friendly dogs to be off leash. Coffee and human food are amazing. Staff is lovely, supportive, and just overall amazing. This will forever be my home coffee shop as long as I'm in Pullman.

    I love this coffee shop! First of all, dogs are not only allowed inside, there is an off leash area…read morewith tables for the paw-rents in the back. They offer a lick mat or kong filled with a variety of treats for the pups. For the humans, there is coffee, tea, pastries, and wine and beer. They also have a bookshelf of games by the front door, in addition to free arts and crafts supplies. Can't wait to try more of their seasonal drinks. The Peaches & Paws iced was delicious!
