Nativ Cafe — Restaurant in White Salmon

For starters, the staff are incredibly friendly – truly some of the nicest people I’ve encountered. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the food looks fantastic.

That said, I have to be honest – the staff DOES NOT know how to make basic coffee drinks or use an espresso machine to save their life. It’s crazy how at a cafe the coffee can be such a major letdown. Simple drinks like Americanos and lattes are being made incorrectly, and are DISGUSTING… which suggests the team hasn’t been properly trained. It’s disappointing, especially when everything else shows so much promise.

Also, it was surprising to see a staff member eating a plated meal while working the front counter. That kind of thing is WILD. And can really affect guests’ perception of professionalism and cleanliness.

There’s a lot of potential here, but some key details – like staff training and front-of-house standards – need urgent attention. Otherwise, this place risks falling into the same trap many small businesses do: great concept, great people, but poor execution. I genuinely hope the owner takes this feedback seriously and makes the improvements needed to...

Hi I am Susan the Microgreens Lady, with Cascade Mountain Greens and I made my delivery today of our glorious microgreens to Nativ! Yes our fresh microgreens ARE glorious and Nativ has them on the menu but that is not why I'm writing this review! Last time I was in I had a hot Chai Golden Milk Latte with pumpkin pie spice sprinkled on top and it was one of the most scrumptious lattes I have ever had in my life!! Today the sweet gracious owner gave me a Butter Mochi Muffin! I would have taken a picture if I hadn't already scarfed it down! :) Savoring every bite! :) It was buttery and gooey and yummy and a hint of saltiness that all together was absolutely gourmet! Added bonus: Gluten-free! If you haven't stopped in Nativ in White Salmon, Washington yet you must make it a planned destination as soon as possible! The atmosphere is chill and warm and friendly and at the same time eminently...

SOO super happy that I decided to come here before my hike this morning! I got the breakfast burrito with beans & avocado, and truthfully this was one of the best, if not 'The' best, breakfast burrito I have ever tasted. It was literally the perfect serving size and extremely satiating, every flavor was crafted to work together so well. My triple shot oat milk latte with pistachio was also very delicious, I could definitely taste the difference in quality here. Everything was so good that I got back in line and got myself a butter mochi to go, absolutely divine! Seriously. It was the perfect after hike treat for me. This place rocks! I didn't get her name but, I believe I got to speak with the owner, she is so lovely and engaging and you can really notice the passion and quality in everything they are doing here. What a gem of a place. A must visit. I will of...
