Dixon Cafe — Restaurant in Corvallis

Hi all,

I went in this afternoon for some food not knowing what to expect. I have friends who have been, and based on what they told me as well as the other reviews, I was admittedly a little bit skeptical. Questions like "Will I get a small portion?" and "Will I leave unsatisfied, or worse, disgusted?" quickly filled up my brain.

Luckily, I did not let those questions discourage me, and I can now confirm that the answer to both questions above is a big fat NO.

Being a vegetarian, I ended up ordering a Mediterranean Quinoa Bowl, and let me tell you, this decision has quickly moved up the ranks as far as decisions I have personally made in my 20 years on this green Earth. Perhaps even more important than WHAT I ordered was WHO took my order. This individual greeted me with a smile as I stepped up to order and did not hold back on any ingredient when putting together my bowl (especially the spinach😋), and I appreciated that greatly. I savored every single bite, and at the end, only one thing was on my mind: Who was it that blessed me with such a good meal?

After doing some digging, I found out, and I now feel obligated to share that information with you all.

Here is what I would recommend doing if you are wanting to try anything from the Dixon Cafe: Go in and ask if Maleah 🍠 happens to be working, and if you hear a no or anything synonymous with no, just go ahead and turn around and try again at a later time.

Now, this is by no stretch of imagination a knock on any other employees of Dixon Cafe. In fact, it would be wrong of me to even try and comment on their service as I have not personally tried any food made with their hands. I am solely imparting the information which I know to be true, which is that Maleah is awesome, and that what I ordered was made with love. Please reference the image for proof.

I will definitely be a returning customer.

Ordered a turkey, bacon, avocado panini but that's not what I got. I got a tiny sandwich with one thin slice of (poor quality) turkey, avocado spread and I couldn't even detect any bacon. It was also just regular sandwich bread that they toasted. 😒 Definitely not a panini and not worth the price. Maybe the smoothies are better than the food? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Regardless, I'd just avoid...

Quinoa bowl was 80% spinach. Basically a bowl of spinach with a small amount of each ingredient on top to cover it from sight. It's a salad, not a quinoa bowl. Save yourself the money and...
