“After hitting several McMinnville highlights (wineries and the Air & Space Museum), I wanted to treat my European visitors to coffee. Flag & Wire was rated the best spot in town, so we proceeded to walked over .7 miles through the rain only to arrive as the shop was closing for a barista training session. Nick and the baristas were so gracious and instead of turning us away, proceeded to "fix us up" with three coffees and a fabulous piece of cake. My visitors were blown away by the hospitality. They told me this would never happen in their country. We went away with the best coffee in town and in fact, some of the best we've ever had (which is saying something for coffee snobs). We've told so many people about our experience. Talk about international relations - Nick and the ladies made a huge/memorable impression. I will continue to bring all my visitors to Flag & Wire - they have a great product and the company embodies the friendliness of the PNW. You always want to support great people like this. They are truly the best of the best.“
“They made my birthday breakfast very nice, were extremely diligent with service, and have actual homemade foods. Nothing generic, or premade from Sysco. Everything about their dishes was amazing and it’s cheaper, bigger and much higher quality than Shari’s. I was so satisfied that I ended up leaving a 50% tip.The only downside’s are that there is a limited amount of seating for such a popular establishment so sometimes you could imagine there’s a bit of a wait, and they don’t seem to offer a military discount yet. A Long communal restaurant table for 10 each would fit right through the center of this restaurant and would expand the capacity by double and reduce wait times.The way they make their chicken fried steak is well… amazing and their menu would be even more amazing if they added something like razor clams especially since the hilltop diner over near Canby shut down a few years ago leaving a large and loyal customer base at a loss for some great razor clams; I can imagine that this restaurant would make them even better based on their CFS recipe. The way they make their own delicious homemade breads makes me wonder if they one day plan on adding something like giant deep dish, pecan covered, heavily frosted cinnamon rolls to their menu which I know would be famous quickly based on their already high quality breads. It’d be also very nice to see some loaded baked potatoes on their menu.This type of restaurant is something that you should bring your family to often and support as much as you can because they’re very rare. I plan on coming back to try several of their other entrées.“
“If you're searching for the best pie in the PNW, look no further. This place is run by 3rd generation farmers who take pride in growing every ingredient that goes into their pies. The dedication of this wonderful family shines through in the incredible quality of their product. Truly a gem worth experiencing!“
“Super friendly service and great coffee. We were given the time to pick from all the options, and the suggestions were spot on. All this on the heels of the yelling lady cursing out the server. She handled herself professionally and with enough force to keep her business safe. Much appreciated.“
“Quite possibly the best chai latte I have ever had, and I have had many. My friend and I come here because he loves the peanut butter banana and honey toast. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s huge! All portions are. The coffee cake scores extra points for being gluten free too. A must stop when you are in McMinnville, but be prepared to wait in line.“
“Good coffee and great service. The lines can get a little long at times but they seem to move quickly. There has always been friendly service at this location for us, and the location is convenient, but the parking lot entrances are a little rough to enter/exit off of the busy main road.“
“This town--maybe all towns in the Pacific Northwest--has A LOT of drive thru coffee shacks, but this one is our favorite. The chai is good, the hot chocolate is good, customer service if friendly, and there's not a long line like those other chain coffee shacks. Buy local. If you choose to give a thumbs-up or not, I hope you found my review helpful!“
“Best breakfast I have had in at least 8-10 years. Everything is made from scratch on site. The hash brown potatoes were fresh and crispy perfection.I wish I could give them six stars. Coffee, homemade bread and jam. Hope you get Vicky as your wait person. Very, very good ?“
