Food was amazing! We had the biscuits and gravy, the croque madame, and the sausage strata. Everyone loved their food, and the coffee was pretty good too. My only real complaint was the parking situation was dicey on a Saturday. Just expect to circle for a while if you're going on a weekend!

South Store Cafe is straight out of a Hallmark movie. If someone hasn't already written one about a successful woman who inherits her families country cafe then i'm going to. This old farmhouse restaurant is unpretentious, makes simple and delicious sandwiches/breakfast, and the staff is very friendly. If you're in the area visiting some of the local wineries or farms you should be sure to stop by South Store for a coffee or lunch.

Delightful veggie sandwich and the house cookie was money. Passing by forever, finally stopped in and did not regret it. I'm sure lots of people pass thinking that they should go in, well, heed that and go. Just a lovely spot.

I can't believe it's taken me this long to finally visit South Store Cafe! Their parking lot is small but we lucked out with a small spot in the back. We came on a Sunday around lunchtime and it was bustling with activities and hungry diners. You walk into the front door and it has an instant cabin and homey feel. You order at the counter and walk through a giant case of beautiful pastries and they do have gluten-free options for pastries and bread for sandwiches for my gluten-free friend. Service was friendly and attentive when ordering and after they dropped off the food. I got the Reuben sandwich special and a cup of potato leek soup while my friend got the BLT. Of course we shared some lovely sweet treats including a cookie, Marionberry pufftart, and a white chocolate raspberry croissant muffin thing (sorry I forgot the name it was so good though!) The seating options are cramped in the main dining room but there were plenty of more tables in the back. High chairs and booster seats available and silverware and take out boxes on the shelves by the water stations. My Reuben was flavorful and well toasted and the soup was creamy and filling, my toddler ate half the bowl! It was the perfect amount of food with some sweet treats to take home to enjoy later. Come support this local business and feel the coziness and deliciously comforting food for yourself!

Such an adorable family owned cafe, 20 minutes south of Hillsboro, surrounded by farms and beautiful landscapes. Just the drive here alone was nice and scenic. My bestie and I wanted to have brunch before we head over to Oregon Heritage Farms so we decided to come here. Parking can be a little challenging due to limited space, but luckily we found a spot in their parking lot. Once inside, you stand in line to place your order and they give you a number to take to your table. It was a gorgeous Sunday and the sun was out which gave the space a very warm ambiance as light filtered through the windows. The tables had cute vases of flowers, ours had a Dahlia which is my favorite flower of course! They serve Lunch all day and Breakfast until 1pm, however they have a special menu served on Sat & Sun only. Since we were there on a Sunday, I ordered the Croque Madame and my friend ordered the Ham & Cheese Croissant. Both were exquisite and delightful, the eggs were perfect and runny, and both orders came with fresh fruit. Our lattes were also wonderful and just right. As we sat and ate our food, I couldn't help but take in the vibrant and warm atmosphere as families and friends gathered here to enjoy good food, hearing the laughters, and seeing smiles on everyone's faces. It just really says a lot about how this business focuses on creating delicious, comforting food and making it a place that is welcoming for all. It makes you want to come back for more and support their business. Thank you South Store staff for your wonderful service!

South Store is so charming! It's very busy so be patient with parking and ordering. I had the avocado toast and the way they cook their eggs is so interesting and fluffy. Everything was fresh and served very hot. They have yummy pastries to take home as well. The vibe inside is very homey. I very much recommend this restaurant. It's also in a very beautiful area.

I was visiting and my sister brought me to this cute cafe for lunch. Such an adorable place! The service was very friendly and helpful. I ordered the special, a southwest turkey sandwich. It was HUGE, filled with turkey, avocado, lettuce and tomato. They had an amazing selection of cookies and pastries to choose from as well.

Great food, friendly service in a colorfully charming converted house. Prices are great with filling sandwiches. The parking lot fills up quickly and we didn't want to risk getting a ticket parking on the road. Luckily a spot opened up on our second loop of the lot. It's counter style dining. We beat a Sunday rush around 11. Was distracted by the pastry cases as I tried to look over the menu. The employee was patient with our first timer questions and refreshingly honest in giving her opinion about one of the pastries I was considering. Heard the pastries made in house are excellent here. The popular **Pecan Roll is very good. Fresh pecans, sweet but not overly. Light dough, too. **Peach streusel - Amazing fresh peach flavor. Overall it could be a little sweeter for me. **Passionfruit tart - Also good and flaky, decorated with a fresh flower. **Mushroom cheese pastry - great, packed with flavorful earthy mushrooms. It was served room temperature, not heated up, I should have asked them to but I didn't want to wait and it was still delicious. My Mom enjoyed her **Avocado-Tomato Breakfast Sandwich. Stuffed with piping hot eggs. Came with a side of fruit slices. ** Bacon, Egg & Cheddar Breakfast Croissant - Whoa! Big and satisfying. His plate was eye candy. Came with side of various fruit slices. My cousin also got a sandwich to go. Got a pomegranate lemonade, based on high praise from another Yelper. I could only taste the pomegranate, would get coffee next time. Two dining rooms inside. Small patio in the back. Must be popular with tourists as there's cool world map near the bathrooms for pins marking where customers came from. Highly recommend this place when it's not crowded. I would definitely come back as pastries change daily, and for another satisfying brunch! Pastries 4/5 stars Brunch sandwiches 5/5 stars Service and ambience 5/5 stars

What a great place for lunch. We stopped between wine tastings and loved the sandwiches. The tuna melt was a special and was a wise choice. I loved the pomegranate lemonade! The turkey sandwich was a hit too.

We have been wanting to stop here and finally did. This place is an old store turned restaurant. It is incredible and potentially my new favorite breakfast spot in the area. You order at the counter, where they sell pastries, drinks, and breakfast and lunch options. They offer a daily soup and wrap option, which is marked on a chalkboard behind the counter. The strata was out of this world and the portion size was just right. They have a great Bloody Mary and latte selection. We took a pecan roll and a savory danish home for the next morning and loved them as well. The parking lot is bit tight but they know what they're doing with how it's plotted out. Seating inside may seem tight but there is additional seating in the back of the store you can take advantage of. Either way, I'd suggest coming outside of "peak" dining hours for a less busy experience.
