First time here at the new location after the 2016 new year, and will not go back anytime soon. Prices are off the chart for quality. I paid $12 for a Bahn Mi sandwich with my side choice of their Sweet Potato Fries and it was the same size as my son’s chicken sandwich for $6 (he got more food off the kids menu). Now more food is not good if flavor is bad…. well there was no taste or flavor and about a silver dollar sized piece of pork on each little half of the sandwich with a flavorless carrot like slaw…. not good…. and not even close to a Bahn Mi by any stretch (even if you are trying to be creative).Now to the best part, for $6 my daughter got a kids Mac n cheese. It came in a large bowl (20 oz. Maybe) with about 6 at best 8 ounces for a 12 and under. Less than 1 cup… now it did come with ‘as they say’ fruit and veggies (1 carrot stick, 1 celery stick, and 2 slim slices of an orange (under the FDA, might count for a 1/3 veggie or fruit serving if that). My daughter almost was laughing as I was cry as to why I will be paying for less than 50 cents worth of food (markup too high).My wife had the root vegetable pasta which was a good size but tasted like milk and cream; she had to add salt and would have liked other things but that is all she had at the table. While a good portion no flavor at all and not worth again the $12.50. Mark-up on food must be insane here or the cook has no clue.Said something twice to the server and they just blew it off the first time like sorry, ya, it looks a little small and poor quality see ya… I even liked when I said something the second time how she said we must have been hungry as all the food was gone. Really? Oh she thanked us for our feedback.This is not a new restaurant just a new rebranding location. Looks like they have work to do.Overall they need to up quality and flavor or drop the price is they want to keep a small plate size. $40 before tip and just waters for two adult and 2 kids meals at lunch time will not be a place I goto here in Silverton. Too many other places that offer far better meals at a fair value.Update… came back and wanted to try again on a Sunday hoping for something better than before. After waitting 45 minutes for my vegan burrito to arrive I was a greeted with a (for a size comparsion ya I know it was vegan but…) a small hot dog bun sized burrito. The inside tasted good howver the green flour wrap was cold and old. Then no more than 1 cup of green salad I had as my side left me with a $10 dollar empty feeling. They sell a similar garbanzo bean salad at Costco which tasted all about the same as this filling. I am sure theirs did not come from there but it fell short but got 2 pieces of broccoli…The only postive is after 30 minutes the server came over and said sorry for the wait… and can I get you anything… of course looking down said yes please can I get more water?Not going back for lunch 2 times a charm not 3.
Bleh!. Was not impressed. Food was bland. On a positive note, cute little get up!
My new favorite. I’ve eaten at great restaurants from Seattle to Eugene, the coast to Bend, and am a chef myself. This is hands down my absolute favorite lunch spot. Everything is fresh, extremely flavorful, and creative. The service is great, the restaurant is clean. I didn’t have one complaint. My only regret is that I didn’t discover it sooner.
I really liked the fresh breakfasts here. The veggies are always fresh. The burgers are not very good, too dry not a lot of flavor. The sandwiches are very good. My favorite item I’ve had has to be the cinnamon roll pancakes, they are better than Word of Mouth’s version. I loved the orange zest and cream cheese icing.
Love Love Love it!! The cafe is a breath of fresh air. The menu items are light, heathy, unique and delicious. I would recommend the cafe to all of my friends and family:)
Delightful little caf!. First, my thanks to pdxfoodie (the Silverton one) for suggesting this great place. It’s very inviting and the ladies working there all seem open, friendly and really seem to be enjoying life and what they do. I parked myself at one of their fresh-air sidewalk tables and ordered a Pulled Pork Sandwich and House Salad with Green Apple Vinaigrette Dressing. (Your other options are: Soup, Fruit Plate or Oven Fries.) It was a perfect summer afternoon. My Sandwich came with Rhubarb Chipotle Sauce, Cucumber Slaw with Red Cabbage on a Ciabatta Bun. The Salad Dressing came on the side and was excellent, but there could have been more of it. It was a very relaxing atmosphere and I enjoyed people watching the passers by. If you’ve never been to Silverton, it is, in most ways, a charming little town. It boasts several excellent eateries and is well worth a visit.
Amaaaazing!. Finally we’ve found a place worth eating at in Silverton! We’ve only been in for lunch and on Sunday for brunch but we’ve been very impressed! Fresh local food, creative menu, outstanding service & a very clean restaurant- a winning combo in my husband & my opinions! I also noticed they had a separate children’s area with some books & chalk board wall for kids, a grand idea for those with kids and a blessing for those of us without! It made it family friendly without becoming ‘chuck-e-cheese’s’ in the main dining area. Very classy place, I highly recommend!
