Mt. Vernon Calico Cupboard Café & Bakery - Mount Vernon, Washington

I had an opportunity to eat at the Calico Cupboard today and jumped at it.

When I walked inside I found a sign over a book that asked diners to sign in.

Shortly after I signed in a hostess walked up and led me to a table that was under a skylight. The hostess handed a menu to me and took my drink order. I asked for an “Arnold Palmer” and was surprised when I took a sip and tasted peaches. It would seem that Peach tea was used.

Shortly after, a server walked up to take my order. I selected the Pulled Pork Hash w/2 fried eggs on top. I asked for over-easy eggs, but got over-medium. Oh well, it was still delicious!

For dessert I asked for a slice of Peanut Butter Pie to go.

Overall I was very pleased with my decision to eat at Calico Cupboard. The staff was pleasant and professional. The food was plentiful and delicious.

Great place to stop into after the tulips. Crazy busy even on a weekday, but our party of 7 still only had to wait around a half hour. My avocado got a little brown before it even got to me. Presentation could have been cleaned up, but the chicken was thick and juicy and pesto and foccacia amazing. All the food was delicious, bakery looks incredible and they do allow to go orders if you want to sit outside and eat your to go order.

This place is fantastic! The service is amazing, and the food is incredible. The restaurant is quite large, but it was quite crowded when we went for lunch. However, it was worth the wait. The coffee and tacos were especially very very good. Would definitely recommend.

Only stopped by to get a latte and cinnamon roll for the road. The cinnamon roll was served warm and was fantastic. They also had peanut butter pie that was so thick it broke my fork. Would like to come back and try the food they were serving

We have eaten here a number of times, and the food is generally pretty good. Was a bit disappointed today with the flavors of my meal. I had the Turkey Chutney sandwich with a side of Chowder. There was a lot of Chutney on the sandwich that ended up overpowering all the other flavors of the sandwich. The Chowder was fairly tasteless. I ended up having to add five spashes of Cholula to give it some flavor. Overall I like this restaurant and will probably come back again. Hopefully, this was just an off day.

Recently we stayed in Mount Vernon. Of course we needed to eat breakfast. Found the Calico Cupboard online and based on reviews it seemed like a good spot.. Overall it was an enjoyable place to eat breakfast.

First of our server was friendly and generous with the coffee. Our cups were never empty. The restaurant was busy and our server had a good sized area to cover. I noticed she was able to serve everyone efficiently and spent time chatting with everyone. Love this!

The food was fine. Nothing amazing. Not the best breakfast I have ever had. I was not expecting that. Portions were generous and looked appealing when we were served. My wife mentioned her eggs were a bit too runny for her preference. My omelet was very good.

The restaurant is loud. Personally I find it difficult to hear when my wife is talking in a loud restaurant. This may not be an issue for you. The decor is nice and I like the exposed brick walls.

The bakery case looks great. We picked up a couple of items to go.

Every time we head North that way, we like to stop by there to get food. Everything was good, but I have a complain/suggestion regarding women restroom. The window behind the toilet seats need to have some kind of window cover such has blinds, curtain, shades or drapes. It is a low window. When I pull my pants down I felt like a pedestrian outside stop and looked in my direction.

Great place for breakfast/brunch. Especially love their soups, breads and sweets. They are busy on weekends so put your name on the waitlist and wonder around the adjoining boutique before checking back in at the host podium.
