The café is the kind of place that we hear over and over referred to as a “dying breed”. It’s a place where you walk in the door and you feel like you’re at home or you’re having a déjà vu moment. The classic welcome chalkboard, the quant but antiquate space, a small kitchen with a stainless steel order rounder, and the wood panel walls. Most likely you’ll be greeted with a smile or some kind of sarcastic joke, but it won’t take long to figure out that’s just how things are.
Compact, roadside mainstay with a familiar menu of American diner grub, including all-day breakfast.

Reviews
We went on a Saturday morning, got there about 8:10am, there was already quite a few people there, but parking was still decent, and when we walked in, there were no small tables available, however, there were 2 seats available at the bar.
I understand most people want to sit at the table that was featured in the movie or the other areas by the windows, however, I feel like we had really good seats in the house. Because we were able to talk with the staff, and they were so sweet and nice!
Some reviews said the staff was unfriendly and rude, but we did NOT experience that.
They made us feel welcomed. Just gotta have a little patience there. So just give them time to get to you, they will!
We had a nice view of all the Twilight decor!
Per the reviews, know what you want to order when they come ask you, because it does take about 30ish minutes to get your food. But it was absolutely worth it!
Definitely has a homestyle/Café diner style breakfast and it was so yummy.
All the other fans were passing around the book, so don’t forget to sign it if you’re a Twilight fan! They have merch too, we got hats and mugs!
We had the best experience!✨
Even though their waitlist was nearly full when we arrived, the staff was incredibly kind and managed to squeeze us on just in time. To top off their hospitality, they even honored our request for the special “Bella table” a detail that made my daughter’s day!
We ended up being the very last customers seated before the 2:00 PM closing time. Despite them preparing to close, the staff never once rushed us. They were welcoming, patient, and truly made our entire experience enjoyable, giving us time to soak up the atmosphere.
The food was absolutely amazing, and the vibe of the cafe is something we’ll never forget. Before leaving, we made sure to grab photos, buy a shirt, and sign the guest book to commemorate the trip.
If we ever find ourselves back in Oregon, we will definitely be returning for the food and the unique atmosphere.
A tip for future visitors: Make sure you get there early! Since they close at 2:00 PM, the waitlist can fill up quickly and stop accepting
The website says reservations aren’t available, yet there is a waitlist upon arrival, which added to the confusion. The space is extremely small and very crowded, making it difficult to move around. Clear signage and a host at the front door would make a huge difference. While we were waiting, we saw multiple parties leave for the same reasons—no greeting, no signs, and no direction.
Aside from its Twilight association, there doesn’t seem to be much holding this place together, and it feels like it’s going downhill. After waiting 40 minutes, we left and went to Carver Hangar instead, where we were immediately greeted, seated, and had excellent service and food. Unfortunately, we won’t be returning.
