Cottage Cafe

My favorite breakfast place in Spokane. The portions are massive and for a great price. It is always super busy, so get there early. For the food, besides of portions, always gave me a traditional feeling to the flavor of the food. The picture I have posted is the Hearty Breakfast Combo (which is the big platter plate and included Belgium waffle, and which is great for 2 people to share, or one very hungry human), French Toast Combo, and one Cinnamon Roll. Lots of food.

Cottage Cafe is a wonderful little restaurant! I have driven by it multiple times a day for a year now, and am kicking myself for not going in sooner. It is very clean and cozy, with smiling and friendly staff. Even the restrooms are clean and gorgeous! Somehow, even with this lovely experience they manage to make the prices low and food delicious. Almost every dish is about $8-$11, with very generous portions. My coffee didn't taste like Folgers from a diner, it was actually decent. All in all this was a lovely experience. I would highly recommend getting there early on a weekend as parking is limited. Thank you for a great first experience Cottage Cafe!

My family decided to try this restaurant for a Sunday brunch. Upon arrival there was a bit of a line, possible sign that the food was good, and there were waiting customers outdoors waiting as well. It took about 10 minutes to get our names on the waiting list, it was a full house and the staff was busy waiting on seated customers. The wait was about 25 minutes, which was a bit of a bummer especially with three hungry kiddos (ages 12, 5, 15 mos). When we finally were seated the waiter was very kind, helpful, and fun spirited. My husband and daughter ordered the chicken fried steak, my 5 yo ordered pancakes, I order oatmeal with toast for my 15-month-old (he ate from my plate as well), and for myself I decided to order French toast. Pros: The food is really tasty and has a traditional Sunday home cooked brunch feel. There is plenty of food to share a plate with a younger child. My family enjoyed the homemade cinnamon and also the pecan rolls. They are big in size and can be shared with at least 2-3 people. The staff was friendly. The location isn’t bad and on the main road not far from I-90 freeway. Also the prices are reasonable for the vast amount of food served. Cons: The wait time was a little longer than expected. I believe Sunday’s are their busiest days for brunch, so be prepared for a wait unless you’re willing to get there when they open. There are chairs outdoors, however at that time the chairs were linked and locked together. So for customers that waited outdoors until a seating area was available found it a bit difficult to sit (at the time of our visit, it was a few older individuals that wanted/needed to sit). My husband and I were not too thrilled about the homemade fries/hash which were cut up round potatoes. It is great for the kiddos, but I would order traditional hash browns the next time we visit for brunch. Overall Experience: It is a quaint little restaurant that does what they do well. Other than the wait time, I know what to expect and plan to arrive a bit earlier with my kiddos in tow. We were pleasantly happy with our meals and took the rest home for a later snack.
