Arête Coffee Bar — Restaurant in North Bend

Decided to give this place a try as I'm new to the area and looking to find my breakfast go-to spot and as a climber thought this place sounded awesome! Unfortunately it was far less than awesome.

First the service sucked, rushed unfriendly, but NBD it's a decently busy coffee shop so I decided let it slide and looked forward to my food/drink.

Second after paying over $25 for my one coffee and breakfast burrito I was seriously disappointed by both. Burrito was pre-made, tiny, felt microwaved and just gross!! I took a couple bites and ended up throwing it away...wouldn't even feed it to my dog.

Coffee experience was similar; ordered their largest oatmilk latte with hazelnut which was 1/3 empty when I got it & tasted like straight coffee.

Very overpriced and simply overall a sucky experience! I'm pretty sure they bank on the "rich sportsy climbing crowd" coming in for the weekend and not loyal local customer support because I know for damn sure I will never go back! I read the reviews prior to going & If this is what y'all consider high quality/good...I'm definitely not going to be staying very long. Hope this helps someone else not...

I wished I took pics for reference. First of all while we waited to order, I did notice 12 gallons of milk sitting on the counter and I'm sure they were sitting there well before we arrived thru to us leaving.. Coffee was good. I normally just get a hot vanilla latte because it's hard to mess up. But... The mug it was served in, seemed so beaten and dirty. Kinda gross and off putting. (Second strike on coffee experience) The food we ordered sounded like it was gonna be delicious- sasquatch burrito and spicy pork bagel: was not was expected... Italian sausage? Thought it was going to be breakfast sausage. And the bagel for the spicy pork was small and hard,(either stale and/or over toasted). Finally, the pastry section was also lackluster. Most likely not a returning customer simply because there are many options...

If you have allergies or dietary restrictions, triple check your food here! The last two times I've come here they have added things I'm allergic to to my sandwich, I paid for upgrade to a bagel add turkey and asked for no cheese. The first time, they brought out the sandwich with no cheese but neither of the upgrades. When they remade it, it came out WITH cheese but without the turkey I paid for. I'm allergic to dairy. I didn't ask them to make it a third time. The cashier was very nice about it and gave me a $10 gift card, but the kitchen staff was extremely rude. I ended up leaving without being able to eat anything. If you don't have any dietary restrictions, the food is good - my husband enjoyed...
