Wow. What a find. Salmon quiche and coconut carrot soup for $13. If I were local, this would be my go to place. Do yourself a favor and go for me. You won’t be sorry.

Excellent vegan selection. I had the lentil soup which was very tasty and served with herb bread and fresh fruit. Serving size was plenty, price was very reasonable and the quiet cafe was the perfect place to unwind.

I was blown away by the quiche at this place. It was so full of flavor, and the custard was perfect. The only unpleasant experience was a customer trying to rush the kitchen and being a bit of a butthead about things. Sometimes waiting twenty minutes is worth it. It definitely is in this restaurant’s case.All of the baked items we tried were amazing. The drip coffee is surprisingly good as well. Nice book selection, we found two for my toddler while hanging out.
The lasagna today was amazing! I'm not a vegetarian but if I had food like yours everyday, I might consider it! Thanks for bringing such wonderful, flavorful, healthy food options to La Grande! You can tell the chef has a passion for good food by the way it tastes!

I’m updating my review after six years as they have changed a bit since my first one. Their establishment used to be above a bookstore that they ended up buying. After some structural emergencies in that building, they moved to a new spot and is *still* one of the best places in town by a lot (only Liberty Cafe compares food wise, but you don’t get the same level of service there).Jon & Laura are the very best of people and I am so grateful that they have been able to remain afloat after catastrophe and covid.Old review:In short: delicious, healthy, & expertly-prepared offerings in a cozy setting with great atmosphereIn detail: JaxDog is a hidden gem that is simply incomparable to anything else in La Grande. It is nestled on a second-floor, almost loft-like space above a lovely book shop that you walk through to get there, so it's easy to miss but completely worth finding.The menu is small and changes daily; there is always a quiche, 2 soups, and an entree and one or more of those are always vegetarian. They post their offerings on Facebook each day and it is also on a sandwich board outside of the book shop.As a native Vermonter, I am used to restaurants that serve delicious, healthy meals made with high quality ingredients, but such establishments are few & far between here. JaxDog is like something I'd find back home and I am grateful that we discovered it.I am a finicky vegetarian, so honestly there is not always something here that I am interested in eating, but my omnivorous husband would happily eat almost every dish they have ever offered and the food is always so good when we do eat here that I cannot give them less praise for my own restrictions.The only downside of this place is that it isn't all that child-friendly. If your kid is an awesome eater, then sure, but otherwise it would be tricky. Water is the only beverage option outside of coffee & tea and soup is the only thing on the menu that could be gotten in a smaller portion (tho entrees are certainly large enough to share)... we usually end up letting our 4-year-old eat one of their amazing cardamom rolls if we bring him, tho he does love their quiche on the right day & sometimes the soups; our older 3 wouldn't eat anything here other than the rolls, but they're always in school when we go anyhow! ;) But I'll also give them no less stars for this as I don't expect any decent small restaurant to cater to children unless they specifically claim to... I only mention it as a heads up to anyone wondering.

What a little treasure! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, unique, homemade. Then, a lovely book store with great finds on top of it! So glad I stopped!
