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 …
Fun little breakfast spot. Everything we ordered was great. Very helpful staff. Definitely will be back soon.
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 …

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 …
This place is super duper good. I got the special blueberry and peach pancake and it was mega awesome! I wish I could stay another week in Oregon so I can come here every day. (Micah age 9)

We bought a loaf of buttermilk bread to take with us (the best toast and sandwiches!) along with our breakfast and lunch order. Keep doing what you guys are doing-it’s AMAZING.
Best breakfast I have had in a long time! The bread is homemade and the food is absolutely delicious! Cheers to the Chef!
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.
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. …
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 …
