“My wife and I had chicken cordon Bleu and steak. We splurged. It was 110% worth it. I was astonished at how good the food was. We also got a couple pastries to go and a couple English muffins. Everything was outstanding. If I come back through town you can be sure I'll stop here again.“
“Such a lovely place to stop and enjoy some high quality coffee, friendly people, and yummy baked goods. Came in with nothing and left with a smoothie, a Borgia coffee (delicious orange and chocolate with espresso), and 4 pastries. Will come again and can't believe I haven't been yet!“
“Interesting "minimalistic" atmosphere. Coffee was pretty good but not sure how I feel about this place are they recently opened or one foot out the door?Parking: Easy parking right out frontKid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Yes, roll right in!“
“A huge fan. We have slowly been working our way through the menu and have not been disappointed once. Everything is so fresh and delicious! We are always welcomed with friendly service and smiles, we love that they have a cute play area for the little ones and they have the best deviled eggs and baked goods. 10/10 recommend!“
“I feel like we hit this place on an off day with high hopes for the best coffee on the coast. Our coffees were light and not aromatic at all. The coffee tasted watered down. And that was disappointing. I thought it was just my hubby’s mocha but my latte was off too.The barista was excellent though and very friendly! Hoping to try this place again in the coming days to have a better cup.“
“The service was excellent and I came and ordered at the last minute.We ordered some vegan options for some of the group and went ABOVE and BEYOND! So reasonably priced.The aesthetics were so amazing with the rustic vibe of the place! The gentleman that helped me had amazing customer service the cook knew my order and double checked my order before giving it to us!!The vegan pop tarts were absolutely delicious and same with the vegan gluten free donuts!Smoothies were excellent! Just an absolute amazing place 5/5 for sure!!Tons of vegan and vegetarian options!“
“Why have we not eaten here before?!?! The food was excellent. My breakfast omelette was fluffy and had a great combination of flavors. Husband got biscuits & gravy and said it was excellent. My spiced Chai had just the right amount of spice. We will be back!“
“Very pleasantly surprised with this spot! My boyfriend and I were passing through on a road trip from Canada. We got two breakfast burritos, two donuts and an iced coffee beverage and everything was absolutely delicious and the service was very friendly! Definitely will be back next time we are passing through! I believe the donut I got was called the dirty bird if I remember correctly, yeast donut, fudge topping with oreo and marshmallow cream and it was so good!“
“My partner and I went to Sylvia's for dinner. She stayed there some years back and told me all about the author themed rooms and having stayed there, but I can't comment on them. I can comment on the dinner and the general ambience of the place.And what a place!From the moment of walking in through the front door and being greeted by a cat, meeting others who have gathered for the feast and then being ushered into a dining room with large common tables, there is a feeling of calm excitement, such as one gets when reading a good book.The large tables were set for eight, pick your own spot. Coat and hat racks were located in a hallway - no having to hang your coat on your chair!We started with selecting from a menu of wines, appertifs, beer or non-alcoholic "mocktails" and ciders. One person at our table had the house special and noted it was very tasty - and it looked it too! Glad they offered NA items, but I like beers and settled on a pale ale from The Good Life breweryin Bend, Oregon. My partner got the "chef's selectionsl" - a selection of three wines to go with the courses, starting with a white with the first, then a red for the main, and a port for dessert. Very nice indeed!The food was placed on our table in bowls which we passed around. We had squash soup - which was served from a pitcher - and like I've never had a soup before!The main course consisted of stuffed mushrooms, mashed root vegetables with butter and rosemary and a plate of stuffing and a bowl of tempura vegetables - all passed around - and a plate of turkey (it was the day after Thanksgiving after all!) (This was our Thanksgiving day dinner - a day late, but who cares?)To top it all off was the gravy! Oh man oh man! Mushroom gravy like I've never had gravy before!Then dessert... Can anyone say Creme Broulee? Lemon tarts? Baked apples covered with crusty yummy raisins with (presumably) brown sugar and cinnamon??And a cup of "French Pressed" coffee to top it all off at the end? Whoa, dude!It was a pretty penny, but well worth it! We had good conversations, excellent food, and a very memorable evening. The cooks even came out and introduced themselves and received a round of applause.If you have the time (it was about one and a half to two hours from beginning to end) and opportunity, then you need to start making memories here. Oh, and by the way, did I mention the view of the Pacific Ocean? Because Sylvia's is built up on a bluff, well, need I say more? Spectacular!! (Plus, we all got to take a box of "leftovers" home. Very handy the next day!).Blessings everyone!Uncle AlRooms: The rooms are all themed on writers. (Not sure as I'd want to stay in the Edgar A. Poe room! I think there's a raven in there!)Nearby activities: The hotel is located just short blocks from the main shopping area of Nye Beach where there are galleries, shops, cafes, ice cream joints and even a greens dispensary.Walkability: The entire area is eminently walkable. There is reserved parking for guests of Sylvia's.Food & drinks: Among the best I've ever had! There are gifts and some sundries available downstairs in the lobby/library and music room area including teas, coffees and chocolates.“
“We came here 3 mornings on our trip to the coast, and 2/3 times they were unexpectedly closed. The one time we were able to try it, we had a coffee milkshake and it was amazing. Just wish they were open the other 2 times (mornings, 9-11 am…)“
“Expensive, but in this case a very expensive cup of coffee gets you an awesome place to sit overlooking the bay. Good coffee overall - mocha tasted good - could have been a bit hotter for my taste overall. I think this place is a better place to grab a coffee then the place down the street for the simple fact of the seating area.“
“2nd Update... This update is long overdue. But things have changed for the better. I give it five stars!!. Ten if Human bean would not have raised the prices. But the girls are consistently nice, and the coffee is still, consistently good. I really love going here now!!Update...I do like the coffee & the girls when they're being nice so it bothers me that i have to write this.Latley the attitude from a couple of the girls stinks and, 1 In particular. Not outright mean, I guess i would say indifferent & snotty. These girls used to be nice.It's caused me to wonder about the managements relationship with they're employees. Is it strained?.. Good management = good morale, good morale = happy employees.One girl is always nice, she has braces.I have consistently been a good tipper. I can't always tip but, i try to tip a $1 for each drink if, i can. I worked in bars and restaurants my entire life and, that's a DAMN good percentage. Especially in the wake of the financial strain that Covid has brought to many.Im always pleasant to you girls when im there. Often I will try out new drinks and I'll have questions. So, don't give me an attitude when I ask you what kind of nut milks you have. It's your job to know the menu, not mine.This is not about someone having the occasional bad day this has been happening more and more.From now on I will only tip if the service im getting dosen't leave me rolling my eyes out of disappointment...I miss Makayla?Old review...Girls are very nice most of the time and the drinks have been consistently good.“
“Such a great place to relax and have delicious smoothies and other nutritious drinks with a perfect view of the ocean! Kathy and Janae are so friendly and helpful. I visit quite often…Dietary restrictions: They have quite a variety of choices for people that may have dietary restrictions“
“I happened to wander in, and after a short talk, ordered their "special chai", and was nicely impressed.My girlfriend arrived shortly with a neighboring competitor's mocha. After tasting my chai, she dumped her mocha and ordered one for herself.We will be back.“
