Yum!! Amazing service. Seriously amazing service. Attentive, kind, and fun. Multiple servers acting as a team to keep coffee hot- and needs met. Food options were plentiful- portions generous- and they even have cocktails! My new favorite breakfast place in yakima.

We stopped here for breakfast on our way home from vacation, and it was the perfect choice. I had been searching for a spot that served eggs benedict, and this place did not disappoint. The rest of my family loved their meals as well—everything was delicious, the portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable. On top of that, the service was excellent! If we’re ever in the area again, we’ll definitely be back.

Fantastic little breakfast place. Don’t be fooled by the parking lot or the outside. It’s like stepping through the door to Narnia. You’d never guess the inside was so cool. Really neat upstairs seating when they have the staff to run it. The food was fantastic. I had a side of biscuits and gravy, a little heavy on the pepper for me, but they were still great. The Peanut Butter French Toast was really good if you like trying new stuff. The bacon slices were nice and thick and tasted great. Black coffee was excellent. Dad had the pancake and side of eggs, said they were great as well and prices were not bad at all. Would definitely eat here again.

My wife and I needed breakfast on our drive home and saw the ratings for Backwoods on Google. Places that are only open until 2pm typically have a good breakfast and Backwoods did not disappoint. My wife had the French Toast which was fairly normal and good. I opted for one of their many “Skillet” breakfasts, settling on “The Logger” which was bacon, ham, and sausage, with melted cheese atop house potatoes, smothered in country gravy with 2 eggs any style on top (I got scrambled). Delicious isn’t a strong enough word to describe the flavor and texture of this magnificent blend of ingredients. The thick cut bacon is sliced fine enough to eat with a fork but large enough to discern it from the ham. Scrambled eggs were completely cooked- not runny or overcooked but just right. English muffin was also great with Smuckers Apple Butter- after all, it’s Yakima where apples are #1. I took pics of their lunch menus because I will be back in town for a golf tournament in a couple months and I want to study the options so I’ll be ready to order upon arrival. Cute decor, clean restrooms and sweet staff. If you’re local and not eating here, you’re missing out! If you’re passing through, it’s worth the stop.

And great spot hands down!!! Fast and friendly service. My coffee was never empty. We got to pick the table we sat at. As it was slow. But was clean and everything was Organized really well. The food came out spot on top 5 Eggs, Benedict I have had in a very long time!! Portion sizes was perfect. Got full enough that I felt my eyes were going to pop out. And still had some to take home for a midnight snack. Will definitely be back there sooner than later!!!

While driving back from the Gorge we were looking for a spot for our bigger group to grab some brunch. We found Backwoods and they were super accommodating to our larger group of hungover concert goers.
The menu is full of so many great choices breakfast/lunch. The coffee was amazing and the food hit the spot. Our server was super kind as well. Great cafe!

1st time. It’d definitely a packed little place. It was good & staff was friendly
I don’t like that they add over 3% to ever card. Just add it to the price. I feel like everyone is gouging for that extra money. The prices are already higher. Waitress want more tips & then a surcharge to pay.

This place did everything right except the part you care for the most, the food. I thought the atmosphere was awesome the staff were great but I was disappointed after hearing great stuff about this place. My wife got the Chorizo scramble and it was nearly 20 dollars, the refried beans that came with it were clearly from a can, and the chorizo just didn’t taste like chorizo. I got the Fajita breakfast skillet, and the potatoes didn’t seem fresh and I’m suspicious that the chicken was prepackaged it didn’t seem like actual prepared in house chicken. It wasn’t terrible but the prices I was paying I expected something a bit more fresh and quality, since there are other places in town that are a better deal in quality and money. I’ll be fair and say we did get some menu items that are a bit off the beaten path, someone next to us had the biscuit and gravy and it looked really good, I’m sure the more run of the mill breakfast items are good since that’s what I see everyone talk about, but if that’s a case, don’t have these items on your menu if they won’t match up to the quality of everything else.

Best breakfast! This place really hits the spot in every way. Super nice friendly staff. Delicious food. Clean and cozy atmosphere.
I was in town to speak at a conference when the bartender at my hotel recommended I come here for breakfast. So glad I made the stop.
This will be a regular place for me next time I’m in Yakima. Can’t wait to come back and try more of their menu.
