Kittitas Cafe

No rating inflation here…this place is legit. Come for the coffee, come for the food, come for the atmosphere, because they have it all! Don’t be fooled by the name or the tableware, this is not your average, greasy spoon diner, this is a scratch-made breakfast (and lunch!) joint that can go toe to toe with the best. Pro tip #1: Look for seasonal specials posted by the register, you won’t see them on the menu. Pro tip #2: Get there early for their cinnamon rolls and other baked goods…they are made fresh daily, so when they’re gone, they’re gone.

What a treasure to find a spot our family can go to and enjoy our time! We have high expectations for the quality of food we eat and we found it here! The coffee, mimosas, and hot chocolate are a lovely addition to the delicious homemade breakfast. McKenzie, Kim, and Jennifer are absolutely outstanding people who made us feel like family right away. We will be returning time and time again and can’t wait to experience the warmer weather in the back yard! Keep up the great work! We will see y’all soon!

Your best option in Kittitas! Are there other options? The biscuits and gravy was ok…not very hearty from a sausage stand point. The wrap was great. The bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit was fantastic. The specialty beverages have been wonderful…not overly sweet and very drinkable. Service is wonderful and we usually don’t have trouble finding indoor seating. They also have outdoor seating with heat lamps available. Lunch looks incredible, though we haven’t tried it yet! Highly recommend. Enjoy!

Great little gem! If you want a nice relaxed meal, or just want to hang out with friends, this is the place to be.

Breakfast: delicious
Coffee: spot on
Staff: wonderful

Classic breakfast stop. Saturday morning 9 am and the place stayed consistently packed. We ordered the biscuits with sausage gravy (added one egg over medium) and the breakfast burger.
The homemade biscuits were amazing! Rest of the dining experience was great for such a small town.

Kittitas Cafe is easily the best Cafe in Kittitas, Ellensburg, heck the whole of Kittitas County! Not only are you treated like a dear friend/family member, this establishment serves up the most consistent coffee/espresso in the valley, has breakfast and lunch items that are to die for, and the vibe is always right.

They have been extremely conscious of both cost to consumer and serving the highest quality ingredients. Frankly, as someone who used to work within the food service industry, I know they are profiting less in order to provide their consumer more and I'm so blown away by that approach.

Whether you take your coffee on the side patio on a blustery spring day, cozy up inside during the winter, or venture out onto the back patio in the fall to catch the last days of autumn, you cannot go wrong. We also love their summer concert series and that mom's can go have a few adult beverages in a kiddo friendly space with friends, good music, and great company. All around, I'd give more stars if I could.

An aside, the owners and staff truly care! During extremely trying times they have remained geniune, kind, and above all very human. Thank you for what you bring to our little community!

We stopped here on our travels and it was fantastic!! Super cute little place, great food (especially the espresso) and the owner is so sweet ❤️ also they were calm and helpful despite being incredibly busy. I’m so happy we went here!

My new favorite coffee/breakfast spot in Kittitas County! Coffee is always amazing. They offer fun new flavors and put so much love into each drink. I always go for the “Basic Brekky” which is a perfect combo of all my morning faves (hash browns, eggs, bacon, yum!). Can’t recommend them enough!

Stopped here on our tour of the Palouse to Cascades State Park Trail. Our breakfast was delicious - I had the breakfast sandwich (on a biscuit!) and my honey had a burrito. Fantastic fresh real food, delicious coffee AND personable hosts. We had a tour of the outdoor area, which was lovely. A great vibe, clearly everyone is welcome here! If I lived nearby I’d eat here all the time!

I highly recommend this new Kittitas restaurant! Breakfast was wonderful - my husband and I enjoyed biscuits and gravy and eggs Benedict with delicious homemade biscuits. Espresso drinks were unique and also very tasty. The staff members were friendly and helpful. Atmosphere was great! Get a table early because it definitely fills up. We can’t wait to try lunch.
