We were so excited to eat here. We came all the way from Texas. Eating here was on our Twilight bucket list.
The posted closing time is 2:00. We showed up at 1:00. The cafe wasn't crowded, no line, but they said they couldn't serve us. Girl at front counter was extremely rude. Don't bother trying to eat here. Should have listened to the reviews.

As a father of three twilighters, this was our Mecca. Sad to see the rocks across the river require a silly $10 permit that isn’t available anywhere!!

Super cute cozy Cafe. We got there at the perfect time did not have to wait to be seated, shortly after we got there was a wait and you have to wait out in your car or outside there's no waiting area inside. Staff was super friendly. Food was really good. Only suggestion from me is a little more char on the breakfast potatoes but they were fully cooked and the onion does add more flavor. They were also out of the special for the day. There's 2 lots to park in, a spacious lot and a tight little lot so depending on your driving skill level choose wisely. Enjoy ❤️

I went to this cafe for the atmosphere and often enjoy visiting significant film locations. The area surrounding the cafe and the decor of the cafe are outstanding. The food was pretty good especially the black coffee, sausage, and biscuits & gravy. The reason I’m rating it 3 stars is because the service was not great. It seemed one of the servers was working decently fast but the other took personal calls in the back, did dishes and the two cooks were incredibly slow despite only having 8 tables and 3 at the bar. If you have 2 hours to kill and show up right when it opens, it’s a pretty decent experience but if you are a visitor and have other itinerary plans plan accordingly. We ended up asking for our food in a to go box with the check since we waited a 1.5 hours for that with me needing to ask for more coffee during the wait. Mind you we got there 15 mins after it opened and this is breakfast we are talking about (super quick and easy to make).

Absolutely the best breakfast you will find! I have been coming here for years and love it every time. Grandma is awesome, as well as her staff! Get here early on the weekends if you don’t want to wait for a table, however, it is definitely worth the wait!

Wasn't sure what to rate it, when we got here there was a 40 min wait and we got there at 11am it is a very small place, does get pretty busy does have a lot of parking on both sides of restaurant did not get to eat so was not able to enjoy a meal here. If you are a Twilight fan, it's definitely a place to visit, but maybe come extra early to do so. I'll give it a 4-star review, though the staff was friendly, and im sure the food was probably delicious. I'll come at an earlier time to enjoy!

Epic. A very classic diner but cool that it is from twilight. Food is as expected. Your average diner food. I had the club sandwich and it was divine.

I finally made it out to Carver Café, and I get the hype! This little diner has that cozy, small-town vibe that makes you feel like you’re in on a local secret. The café has this welcoming, lived-in feel, and the staff treat you like family. Definitely expect to wait a bit if you go during the weekend breakfast rush, but honestly, the food makes it worth it.

I went with the classic biscuits and gravy, and they nailed it. The portions are hearty, and the flavors are just what you want from a diner meal – pure comfort. My friend had the corned beef hash, and I can confirm, it’s as good as everyone says. And yeah, for any “Twilight” fans out there, it’s got that bonus of being a film location, so it’s a bit of a pilgrimage too.

The only downside? The limited hours (they close by 2 p.m.) and the place is a bit small, so it fills up fast. But if you want a good, no-frills breakfast spot that does it right, Carver Café is where it’s at.

Absolutely hated the service. They were rude and rolled their eyes not once but twice because we were asking for a status about our food! Not worth the wait. Take a picture if you’re a Twilight fan and leave. We waited for over an hour and a half for our food while 5 other tables that arrived after us got served first. When we asked how much longer they said “they’re working on it now” 1.5 hours later. We didn't need the attitude from the servers especially when we have been nothing but patient.

Well this was an absolute fail. We showed up around 9:20 and was told there was a 50 minute wait. After getting a call back almost 50+ minutes later we were “pointed” to a table in the corner. The four of us ordered and then proceeded to wait. And wait. And when we asked they also replied with “we are working on it”. There were other tables seated, ordered, got their food, ate and paid while we were left waiting. After an hour and 10+ minutes it was just too frustrated to wait any longer and sadly my family decided that was enough, so we left without getting our food. The ticket is still to this day “coming out soon”. I’m fine with waiting for good food, but when the service is already off the second you walk in the door then you’re better off going somewhere else.

The main reason for coming here is, obviously, Twilight. I was able to sit in the corner that Bella and Charlie did and that in itself made me super happy. The food itself is alright - I got coffee & the waffle with two eggs and two bacon. Pretty standard diner food but it was satisfying.

My friend and I are doing a Twilight Roadtrip Tour and one of our stop is Carver Cafe. We got lucky to have a table for us when we walk in cause the restaurant was so busy. I enjoyed my Bella Burger which is a vegetarian burger. The server is a sweetheart. This is our second time going here the first time we went there the cafe was close cause we didn't check the days they are open, I wish that they are open everyday so when we do another Twilight Roadtrip we won't be in a time crunch to be here on a certain day. I highly recommend Carver Cafe, I like this place. The employees here are so nice to Twilight fans that visit their Cafe, they even put out a notebook so we can sign it. ??

Had the opportunity of visiting carver cafe with my Daughters, as a Fan of twilight, the wait time means nothing bc you can go and explore the surroundings and the will call you when is your turn, also i wanna say the service is really good they give people good space to enjoy the food and the place, what i mean is they don’t overcrowd the restaurant, back to the food, i got the farmers omelet, coffee & my daughters got some burgers and shakes , both very good the shakes super homemade flavor, thanks the people working there.
