The service is incredible, and the staff are very welcoming. I have gotten many things there, including BLTs, Honey Pulled Pork Sandwiches, Peach Apricot Croissants and Orange Cardamom Bundt Cake. I also recently became vegetarian, and found just as delicious vegetarian options! Their drinks are OUT. OF. THIS. WORLD. They also have outdoor seating that is covered so it is heated (for when it's freezing outside). I love the Kittitas Cafe and I come back for delicious food, cozy atmosphere, great service, and yummy drinks!! rose pickerel

Our cappuccinos were served right away and hit the mark. My granddaughter loved the blackberry lemonade. While great food is always welcome, what makes this cafe stand out is the community vibe and the warm, professional, and ever-so-helpful staff. From the moment we walked in until we felt right at home and cared for. This cafe is truly a gem and we look forward to coming back the next time we are at The Gorge.

Very quaint, cozy and friendly. Being Mother's Day the whole family came to see Carla. Great atmosphere absolutely loved the food and got pie to go. Highly recommend this place as a place to stop for breakfast or lunch. We will definitely time it to try the lunch menu next. Might have to bring my mug to leave behind for the next trip.

Listen to me--get the pie. I don't care what kind of pie it is; just do it…read more We had breakfast, and pie with ice cream. My eggs were perfectly cooked, the toast was warm and decently buttered, the hashbrowns were crispy and greasy, and the bacon and chicken fried steak were mediocre. The bumble berry pie was outstanding. That might have been the best pie crust subs ever tasted. Service was excellent from beginning h to end. The place is a five in the middle of no where, but it's clean. The only bathroom is the porta potty out back; there's hand sanitizer, but no sunk to wash hands.

This diner appears to have opened in the 1920's based on the charming art deco bar, booths and cabinetry. There is some additional seating up front which is not technically period appropriate, but it's low key and neutral enough that it doesn't spoil the atmosphere. I recommend sitting at the counter for the full diner experience. The menu has all the usual, with options for smaller sizes and individual items à la carte, which helps to keep prices down and avoid food waste. Did I mention, they have great coffee? Tastes like what I would make at home. They serve it in heavy porcelain mugs in the shape of the traditional Victor diner ware mug, but sized up for modern sensibilities.

It turns out if you don't want to block the roadway while waiting in line you'll be turned away and refused service if you honk at other patrons that cut you off.

The Early Bird -- a truly great, innovative restaurant that is a must-stop if you're passing…read morethrough Ellensburg. I'm lucky to live here so I get to go at least once a month. While every dish is an eating experience, the Early Bird has monthly specials that are as unique as they are wonderful. The only problem: they only exist for that month (although manager Erica tells me they occasionally have made a monthly special a permanent fixture). Come early or late on weekends -- The Early Bird is often difficult to snag a table, especially on Sunday mornings and in the winter when they don't use their outdoor dining area. Also: their adjacent sister eatery, the Night Owl, is a similarly high-quality Korean restaurant.

In this case, the early bird most definitely gets the worm…read more I visited this local cafe after seeing Rufus Du Sol at the Gorge. Unfortunately for me, many other concert goers had the same Sunday morning plan. While The Early Bird is delicious, it's by no means speedy. We originally received a 45-minute wait for takeout, but ended up waiting closer to 75-minutes. My order consisted of the Eggs Benedict bowl with the veggie medley, monkey bread, and a hazelnut iced latte. The perfect cure after a night of debauchery. You can tell they're doing their best to manage crowd control, especially the morning after a popular concert. Something to note is that you must have a table secured before ordering food. They don't let you order and wait to be seated to help lessen the crowding. Pro tip: the city park behind this building is much better spot to wait for your food. There's seating and even private bathrooms - a god-send after a night of camping at the Gorge.
