Gunnars Cafe - CLE ELUM

During a recent business trip, I decided to give this restaurant a try after meeting the owner, who was clearly passionate about providing a great experience. I was pleasantly surprised by the food—it was fresh and delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive, making for a welcoming atmosphere. While the decor was simple and unpretentious, it suited the setting and the price point well. One point to note is that the charge for adding a cup of soup is actually an upgrade fee, as the soup replaces the standard side rather than simply being an addition. Overall, I felt I got great value for my money, and I would rate it a solid 4 out of 5 for its category. I would definitely return and recommend this place to others!

The restaurant is now under new management and is called Boones Café. They serve fantastic coffee and offer generous breakfast burritos.

One standout item on the menu is The Grumbler, a hearty dish featuring fluffy scrambled eggs, hash browns, and a generous portion of sausage, priced at $10. It was truly delicious and satisfying. The sandwiches are crafted with homemade bread, and most meals are around $10. The only downside was the tomato bisque soup; while it had a nice flavor, it had been on the heat for too long and had thickened excessively. The coffee was enjoyable, and the freshly baked goods were impressive. Our family of five dined here, including drinks and some baked treats, for a total of $80, which felt quite reasonable. I highly recommend this cafe!

Service was a little slow, maybe lasted 45 minutes to get our 2 burritos, toast, eggs and grilled cheese, but the people who showed up 20 min or so after us got their food when we did so it must be from what you order. Total food was good! If you get the Burrito, you're ready to eat like 5 eggs. Tomato soup was delicious, grilled cheese was good. It'll probably be over again as long as I'm not in a hurry!

Just passing through looking for a quick breakfast sandwich to go and don't want to give our money to McDonalds. Hubby and I split the veg breakfast burrito. Huge and delicious. Very fresh tasting. The woman who helped us was very friendly and engaging. The locals hangout were also friendly. Great green space adjacent to feed the dog and let him run around for a bit. Perfect stop.
