My first time at The Porch. Love the warm, friendly atmosphere! My teen and I shared the tomato bisque (delicious), grilled cheese sandwich (wonderful), Bunky’s pasta salad (delicious), potato salad (best I’ve ever had). If The Porch was in my neighborhood, I would hang out and eat there all the time. We will definitely be back!!

The food was good although I thought kinda small portions for the price. (Most things are these days but ..) what I did order came promptly and was good.

The service was great! The people were great, everyone kinda knew each other and the staff. Small town caring vibes from all. A gentlemen who finished eating, showed my kids and a I video of his baby bison playing in a sprinkler as we waited for our food and we really enjoyed that. The decor they have displayed for sale was very funny and cute, I bought my mom a cutting board and the owner sweetly walked my son in the heat to hide it in the car before she came out of the bathroom (my mom was visiting from SoCal) We stopped by since we dropped a dress to get hemmed in Pablo cedro (we live in west Redding originally from SoCal) My kiddos loved the “steamer” thank you Pablo cedro and The Porch!

I have been here probably 5x now. What struck me and made me want to write a review was seeing how they treated an elderly man today. I brought 3 little girls in to hang a poster for a local performance. I watched as they treated this gentleman like family. Then they turned and made the girls feel so special. You just can't get this level of service from Starbucks. The times I have been in here to eat they helped me out with my allergies. I really needed gluten and dairy free and they were so helpful to make sure I could have the food. I recommend their soups and coffee.

The Porch is amazing! Everything I’ve tried has been delicious! The atmosphere is awesome! Great place to hang out with your girlfriends for coffee and a bite to eat. On Wednesday’s they do wine night (BTW wine and beer available all the time), but Wednesday they’re open late and have specials for food!

Right when you walk in you feel welcome! The Porch is comforting, homey, and bright. Delicious drinks, food, and baked goods. My family and I have been here multiple times and it does not disappoint! Todays apple baked good was hands down my favorite treat so far… also 5 year old approved! Can’t wait to eat here again (:
