My wife ordered a 12 ounce Affogato and instead she received a 6 ounce. When I inquired about the half empty cup, they offered to add coffee to fill up the cup. Affogato is espresso, and not coffee which you cannot combine. The Affogato was $8 and was advertised on their menu as 12 ounce. I was highly disappointed and I conveyed my sentiment to the staff and they replied in an insincere "sorry about that". The cost is nearly a meal yet she only received half the advertised amount. It was a rip off. Instead of offering coffee, they could have added another scoop or two of ice cream to fill up the cup.
Excellent customer service, place is nice but food was ok and pricy. I personally will choose a different place next time.
This place wasn’t always this bad so I’m sad to say, I had one of the most disappointing dining experiences ever, I absolutely recommend avoiding this place.
First off as you enter, a sign greets you to scan for the menu and order at the front before finding a table. It gave off such a cheap tacky atmosphere like we were dining in a cafeteria, except the prices were still sit down restaurant level.
After ordering, you go find an empty table, that is dirty since no one cleans them off between customers, and wait for a buzzer to go off and pick your own food up.
The food is at the counter and you grab the two last remaining, plastic silverware sets, really setting off that cheap cafeteria vibe.
Now the food. It was disgusting! The Chicken and Waffles were absolutely the worst I have ever had! The first thing I noticed taking them back to the table was the prepackaged Smucker’s brand “breakfast syrup” even though the menu said maple syrup and cold butter in a plastic container (sticking with the cafeteria theme I guess).
The chicken itself was bland, the breading just fell off when trying to eat or cut it, revealing a pounded thin basic chicken breast almost tasting like it was boiled or something. My particular piece of chicken had a few French fries stuck to it as well, not sure if that was a plus or not.
The waffles were dry and really nothing to be excited about. They weren’t even hot enough and with the cold butter, the butter never melted that so just chunks of butter and cheap nasty smucker’s “breakfast syrup” were the only flavors that you could taste.
To finish off the horrible food and atmosphere, once you choke down the food you can, you walk you sorry self with your dirty plates to sort your own waste, leaving your sticky dirty table for the next losers to sit and be disappointed.
Over all, absolutely by no means should you go to this place. If I wasn’t in such a bad mood in that moment I would have asked for a refund and left embarrassed but just didn’t want to be rude to the workers who have nothing to do with the lousy business plan.

Great place to enjoy some excellent food, coffee and other drinks with a view of the water. Fast service, amazing food and lots of seating.
The Stonehouse Cafe is my favorite when I’m craving breakfast mainly because they never disappoint!
I’ve tried their Biscuits & Gravy and Chicken & Waffles which were both delicious. But, my go to is the Eggs Benedict! I’m also obsessed with their Watermelon Lime Lemonade. It’s a must try and it’s refreshing on a warm sunny day! What surprises me is that there’s not that long of wait time for your food to come out. They’re usually pretty fast AND the dishes come out amazing.
The staff there are super friendly and patient. You’re always greeted with a smile and they seem like they love what they do!
When it comes to holidays and events, Stonehouse really knows how to go all out. They decorate for almost every holiday and I love it.

My friend and I were looking for different places to have our Wednesday coffee, and discovered this little gem of a cafe located in a local historical landmark. It's a cute little place with added seating in what looks like it could be an outside patio in better weather. Looks right over lake Washington too.
The food was delicious! And far too much. My friend really enjoyed her biscuits and gravy. My scramble was just the sort of comfort food I was looking for. The pic looks like there was not much of it, but it was piled high and I could not finish it.
I would highly recommend this place, but I don't want a bunch of y'all showing up and making it hard for me to get in. ;)

Excellent little spot. Staff was very nice, view from the roof was amazing. Food was good too, my biscuit was a little dry, but that's neither here nor there. Highly recommend.
