This was so good, one morning we got there and they had French toast pancakes, simply amazing, There were three of us, so we each got a difference breakfast and each was wonderful. It was so good we went back the next day, different specials and just as good. Cute restaurant, easy to get to and short wait for table.

We went for breakfast here recently. I'm trying to go gluten free and was thinking that here we were going to a place with fabulous baked goods and I wouldn't be able to eat any. Sigh........ But, lo and behold, NO..... they have a fabulous and tasty selection of gluten free breads, and muffins and goodies. I had a gluten... More

We stopped here for a late breakfast and were pleasantly surprised. The decor is cheerful, the servers were friendly and attentive, and the menu had a number of interesting breakfast choices. Don't look for standard fare, the menu here is eclectic and interesting, and almost everything is gluten free. A bit on the high side for breakfast, but worth it... More

We've eaten here many times in the past. You can always count on fresh, tasty meals in a homestyle atmosphere. Now we are both gluten-free, and we found ourselves passing through Anacortes at lunch time. This would usually always be our first choice, but we were thinking, "How are we going to find something gluten-free at a restaurant that's also... More

I used to eat here often, and if you like white flour and sugar it can be fun. I heard of someone who worked here say the bakery staff are working as if in a "sweatshop"... So I choose not to support a place like that. However, they do offer a huge array of sweets and breakfast and lunches. Not... More

Just like so many reviews say, the food here is very good. A fine array of soups, salads, sandwiches, breakfasts, etc, etc. The desserts are outstanding. The service is also good. I'm always happy to eat there. One thing, it is very slow to get food. I've been there enough times to know it's not just a one off. It... More

Need I say more? Grandma's pancakes are to die for (multi-grain) and the buttermilk syrup is yummy! The breakfast hash is also delicious!

Linda Freed owns three restaurants in the valley and manages them all very well. She has won blue ribbons at the county fair for her baked goods; however, all of the restaurants (LaConner, Mount Vernon) have wonderful sandwitches(bread baked in house) and homemade soups and chowders. One short coming - they are not open for dinner, but her "Seeds" restaurant... More

I really like the breakfasts they serve here. Ample and hearty foods. The baked goods are really tempting and tasty. My only regret is that the service has been slow every time I've eaten there. I return because of the quality of the food.

I had heard SO many great things about this place. I, myself, was not overly impressed. While the bakery part of this restaurant is amazing, the food itself wasn't all that my friends claimed it to be. Service here is fantastic, staff is friendly, seated quickly. Just not my cup of tea when it comes to food, and also price.... More
