I really want to love this place! The food is good, the space is cute and unique. You order everything (drinks & food) at the bar. They give you a pager thing to alert you when it's time to pick up your stuff. The way some of the alcoholic beverages are done is strange. All drinks are served in paper or plastic to-go cups. For the Irish coffee you get one full 12oz cup of coffee and Jameson and another full 12oz cup of coffee and Bailey's. These are separate cups that I guess you then go get a third cup to mix some of each into. Or at least that's what we did. The mimosas are a full carafe of sparkling wine and then a full plastic to go cup of OJ. Not bad, just strange.The only other strange thing we noticed after the fact is that they have a pretty noticeable sign at the point of sale where you order that says something along the line of "Tips are appreciated". This is really strange because outside of making your food and drinks, there is no service. You pick everything up, buss your own table and in some cases mix your own drinks. ?Again, we want to love this place and will definitely give it another try when we're back in the area.

Honestly a disappointment. The food you'd get at a complimentary breakfast at a Holiday Inn is better than this place. Half the food we got was cold like it had been prepared the day before and just mildly heated up. Portion size was small, and there was a lack of flavor - everything was so bland. You can also get a better cup of drip coffee at any gas station. 1/10, would not recommend.

The Stonehouse Cafe is my favorite when I’m craving breakfast mainly because they never disappoint!I’ve tried their Biscuits & Gravy and Chicken & Waffles which were both delicious. But, my go to is the Eggs Benedict! I’m also obsessed with their Watermelon Lime Lemonade. It’s a must try and it’s refreshing on a warm sunny day! What surprises me is that there’s not that long of wait time for your food to come out. They’re usually pretty fast AND the dishes come out amazing.The staff there are super friendly and patient. You’re always greeted with a smile and they seem like they love what they do!When it comes to holidays and events, Stonehouse really knows how to go all out. They decorate for almost every holiday and I love it.

My friend and I were looking for different places to have our Wednesday coffee, and discovered this little gem of a cafe located in a local historical landmark. It's a cute little place with added seating in what looks like it could be an outside patio in better weather. Looks right over lake Washington too.The food was delicious! And far too much. My friend really enjoyed her biscuits and gravy. My scramble was just the sort of comfort food I was looking for. The pic looks like there was not much of it, but it was piled high and I could not finish it.I would highly recommend this place, but I don't want a bunch of y'all showing up and making it hard for me to get in. ;)

What a cool location with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Plus they have a parking lot for those of us who can't walk there. Food was really good, too. I went with a friend for breakfast and had the Monte Cristo with a twist. It's normally a savory choice, but this one was served topped with fresh strawberries and a fresh strawberry preserves dip/spread. Delicious! Such lovely and polite service, too! Definitely worth the wait. I saw they had adult beverages, too, and my friend informed me they have entertainment sometimes with local artists, sip & dip evenings, and other kinds of neighborhood gatherings. Fun place! Try it!Parking: Around 15-20 spaces, maybe more if people squished. Not all spaces are marked/lined.
The chicken and waffles were delicious. The chicken is crispy, and the waffle fluffy. I sat in such a way that I had a great view of the water. Great history!Parking: They were decently busy when we went, so we had to park in the street. But well worth it.

Worst of all the edited the tab to add a tip for themselves. Transaction just went through!!!I would expect high prices but, at least quality food. The burger dip was a joke.Too many red onions and they overcompensated with a bunch of cheese. There was not much meat.It is good bread but, I suspect Frozen patties.I get the idea but, The kooks don't know what they're doing.At least the barista is knew what they were doing.Parking: Popular location. So get there early because, there's a lot of people trying to find parking.

They have a dj on the patio!!The food is great. Get there early. No waitstaff, so u seat yourself. Bus your own table. Heavy pour on the drinks. Plexiglass around the outdoor seating with gas heaters so your toasty.
Okay so this place is a bit weird to tell ya the truth. You come In order at the counter, fill up your own drinks and pick up your food when the buzzer goes of. The food was very mediocre(my husband got a grilled cheese and the cheese was not even melted like What?). My breakfast potatoes were so cryspy and tasted like they were sitting out under a lamp for hours and still were barely warm. Very overpriced for what it is but I guess this is a very good example of you pay for the view and not good food. We did like the atmosphere of this place and it seemed they had a lot of various areas to dine in.I do not think we will ever be back here.

This place looks really cute from the outside and I had been wanting to try it for a while. The first thing I noticed was a sign outside by the door saying to stop and look at the menu before entering, and to order at the counter. For a place that has a sign claiming to be "warm and welcoming" it surely felt cold and unwelcoming. It was cold and rainy, please don't ask to stay outside before ordering, does not make sense. The inside wasn't any warmer, it was literally cold, and the rustic industrial vibe didn't help with the feeling either. The inside decor is cool but doesn't match the stone cotage style of the outside.The food was SO expensive. $30/person for extremely salty food. I order the platter, the eggs were ok, but I could not eat the ultra salty potatoes and bacon (which was generous, but didn't matter because it wasn't edible).Bloody Mary was sad. Served in a plastic cup without salt rim. Couldn't drink it either.Now, you have to pick up the food and bus your table (busing station is kind of hidden and hard to find) but you're asked to tip. To management: please hire wait staff or don't ask for tips.I wanted to like this place but there's a lot to improve there.
