Well hello again, folks! We know how this goes… I’m a brunch SNOB and it’s the most difficult 5-star review to get from me. I’m picky and whiny when it comes to perfecting brunch. Crescent Cafe, kudos, you’ve done it again!
We discovered Crescent about a year ago at the recommendation of a friend who used to live in McMinnville. We tried it then and we were very pleased with our experience.
We returned again today. Met by a friendly staff, we did have a bit of a wait but that was on us… we failed to make a reservation. Nonetheless, it was worth the wait!
They accommodated all 6 of us in less time than predicted. We were seated at a lovely table in the front of the restaurant and met by a lovely waitress who was so bubbly, friendly, and kind.
Coffees showed up quickly and our orders were taken quite promptly. The atmosphere was lively and the staff was attentive.
Food. They just do dang good here. First, yes we know what is coming now… THEY KNOW HOW TO COOK AN EGG TO ORDER! Second, the food is fresh and piping hot… hashbrowns are perfectly crisp, and the ham was delish!
Overall, what more can I say? Huge portions, we each ate / drank cofee for ~$20/each and left with leftover boxes.
Crescent Cafe knows how to do brunch. They thrive in all areas, you can’t go wrong. Next time you’re in McMinnville for the weekend, make sure you stop in for a fabulous brunch!

Just perfect! Brought my Dad here for his 82 bday celebration before tackling the evergreen aviation museum. Despite being denied a bread recipe( ) the service was excellent. My dad raved about the eggs Benedict and I had some of the best veggie hash I’ve ever had. Most are mushroom and spinach heavy but this was sublime with kale and a great balance of other veg. The scramble special equally well balanced with each ingredient complimenting and not overwhelming the others. Come support a great local biz and enjoy the fine food.

Really good food. Even the “day old” pastry was delicious. Staff was friendly and helpful. Accommodated onion allergy well. Beautiful furnishings of real wood tables and chairs. Unusual wall murals add and expand the atmosphere.

Possibly our favorite meal of our wine tasting weekend trip! Delicious and satisfying breakfast, and we loved our no nonsense, but super warm and kind server. They make all their bread and pastries, and they are fabulous. The gluten-free toast was thick and fluffy, and I tried the homemade biscuit too, which was better even than my mom used to make. It was really nice to sit outside on the sidewalk.

Favorite breakfast spot. Staff is friendly and food is positively delicious. They make their own pastries and breads. My favorite is the cornmeal molasses. Their veggie hash is always delicious and they rotate seasonal veggies. They tend to get busy on weekends and don’t take reservations, so you might get the chance to walk around downtown while you wait.

Breakfast was pricey (but isn’t that the case everywhere?), but I believed worth it. I ordered Eggs Benedict, and was disappointed to hear they were out of English Muffins. But my second choice, the fried cornmeal, was outstanding. The cafe sits in an older storefront and offers a few outside tables. Definitely worth it.

Absolutely melt in your mouth delicious! Perfect place to enjoy amazing food (think brunch), enjoy a mimosa and coffee and catch up with family or friends. The lemon crepes are heaven on a plate!

This is where you should eat breakfast in Mac! We were referred by a local and walked by some really nice flashy places to get there. Definitely do not be fooled this place makes incredible food and the service was out of this world fantastic. We were seated quickly and greeted by our server, I ordered a coffee and my wife inquired about an espresso drink, they do not make them but she recommended my wife run around the corner and grab something she would enjoy! I have never ever had that happen before, we really appreciate the are that invested in making there guests happy. My wife had the gluten free French toast, which doesn’t sound good but was amazing! The bread for that was local, the other breads they offer are divine and house made. I had the fried cornmeal with beans and it was just perfect. The food was incredible, but the service was like your mother or grandmother cooking you breakfast. I highly recommend. Prices are more than fair and the experience was great. Thank you! The coffee was good as well.

Setting on third street in a very magical place. I had the kale corn beef hash eggs over easy with a side of toast that was made in heaven for sure. Corn beef cubed up cooked to perfection. Above and beyond service as well as food. I will hopefully eat here many times over. Service dog was welcome but out of respect we took ours to go. Outside seating was available.
