We're the neighborhood grocery store, coffee shop, gathering place, and first stop for thousands of people heading into the Cascades.

This isn't a corporate restaurant.
We're independently owned by two women who care deeply about good food, thoughtful design, and creating a place where our mountain community gathers. Every decision we make is centered around serving Snoqualmie Pass with quality, warmth, and authenticity.
If you're looking for a job where you'll simply manage a kitchen, this probably isn't it.
