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.

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

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.

Every one was super friendly and it seemed like a good mix of locals and visitors. I did the Simple Way and my wife and daughter created their own sandwiches.

When we entered, the barista was assisting another customer and took quite a while to even acknowledge us. I ordered a latte, which was decent. One of the reasons I enjoy going to cafes is the experience of drinking coffee from a mug, but this place only offered to-go cups, which felt strange and disappointing to me.

This is for Louie's Latte or whatever replaced Jolt (doesn't have its own yelp.) Flavors were good,…read moreI had an Americano my friend had a lemonade, but the barista had dirty hands, didn't make my order correct (no cream or sugar), and turned down my Jolt stamp card even tho a different barista couple weeks prior (still after it changed from Jolt) said I could still cash it out, like I'd be grandfathered in. So that's lame, idk which of them was in the wrong but I had a full stamp card and couldn't use it. But then after the barista said I couldn't use it, she didn't even offer me a new one for Louie's latte hahaha not that I care too much but it struck me as odd and not very helpful to the little business. Side note: the prices are great, feels like one of the only things that hasn't been affected by inflation over the years.
