The Mason Jar

I used to come here in college and loved it. The place has gone down hill . Service was slow, the toast was supposed to be gluten free. The toast was also cross contaminated with some marinara and green stuff. The green stuff looked like avocado and I have an avocado allergy. The egg was over cooked. In my opinion it was not very accommodating for people with allergies and intolerances. Not sure how this place has over 4 stars. I guess anything is good to college students when you don’t have a lot of options in the area.

Stopped in for a light lunch before a football game - cute coffee shop with great service, good coffee and food in a wonderful atmosphere.

Can get crowded and busy easily, but worth the wait for breakfast foods and coffee. Daily specials always make for an interesting flavor adventure. Trust me: it’s worth the wait!

Oh my goodness, it was so yummy! I got a pumpkin latte and breakfast burrito. My husband got the classic breakfast sandwich. They were both super tasty! The biscuit on the classic was buttery and crispy, everything you hope for in a hot biscuit. We enjoyed our food and drink’s immensely. The atmosphere was also wonderful and made for a chill breakfast.

I love the Mason Jar so much!! I’ve been going there for about 3 years & they’ve NEVER disappointed me. They make me feel like family every time I see them, I genuinely love those people. & the food and drinks are AMAZING!

I went there while waiting for my husband to get some errands done and I ordered some granola and it was absolutely shocking when she brought it out because it was beautiful. She had it decorated beautifully with apples and other fruits and nuts and beautiful just beautiful. I was very impressed and the coffee was fantastic.

Absolutely phenomenal! This place makes the some of the best sandwiches I've ever had. It also has a great vibe in their indoor seating and outdoor seating. Recently had a Philly cheese steak and a meatball sub, and those two are some of the best of each I can think of. Their breads are amazing and their meats are also amazing. They pay attention to detail and season everything to perfection. Great place for a foodie and a great place for some coffee.

Great coffee! Amazing bagel! Kind service!

We should have just picked this place for lunch in the first place. We were out to try some Hawaiian food when we found the place to be closed. Across the street sat the Mason Jar. Fabulous array of breakfast, lunch, and beverage options. I tried the "Mediterranean" sandwich. Loved it. The sandwich is a turkey, artichoke heart, sun-dried tomatoes, feta, and tomato mayo on focaccia bun. Everything on the sandwich was a compliment to the other. Usually you don't get a lot of comments about buns, but this one was outstanding. The sandwich also comes with red onions, but I took a pass on those also. I guess this place is also known for its pastries. They had a bunch to choose from, but seeing as how it was lunch, we took a hall pass... next time! It seems they also offer a lot of specialty homemade juice and coffee drinks. It was late mid morning, but there was a decent size crowd. The guy taking your order was super friendly and helpful, There looked to be only one girl in back, making the sandwiches Our order came out in about five minutes. There's options to sit inside and out. It was a gorgeous day so we chose out. They give you these awesome chips which I guess are some local thing. They also give you what appears to be an eggplant pickled complement to the meal. I did find this to be very vinegary. Overall experience was outstanding!

Great coffee and nice staff. But, it's more of a coffee and baked goods place. We ordered breakfast. The eggs were over cooked (over easy requested and so overcooked that the yolks were solid) and the hash browns were precooked and heated

I have come back 6 years later to update my review. I'm so disappointed . The food was disgusting. I asked for gf bread and don't believe that's what I got. I ordered egg, hash brown and gf toast. The toast had some type of marinara on it and also some green stuff. I could not eat it as I am allergic to avocado and I am uncertain if that's what it was. The workers were nice so they get a star for that but they definitely understaffed. They have really gone down hill.

Comfortable and bright atmosphere. Very good food. Cappuccinos are tasty and pretty. Friendly service!

Positive friendly patient service! Answered all questions with a smile! Great food! Giant fluffy buttery biscuit with sausage gravy with more sausage than gravy. DELISH! Continental Kick breakfast sandwich - Eggy bread stuffed with bacon, ham cheese, SOOO GOOD! Menu loaded with creative offerings!

They helped me with a final project in photography by letting me take pictures of the food items and they were very friendly. other times i have gotten their lotus specials and they have never disappointed, the food is also delicious. It is a great place to sit and work on homework or other things along with it. 100% recommend

Excellent service, gluten free options, multi non dairy options, once past initial slight incline at entrance all level, various seating height options, so accessible layout, though be aware that due to historic bldg getting in & out of gender neutral bathrms- likely tight fit for wheelchair/mobility aids. Really chill & peaceful vibe. Highly recommend

Stopped here after a meeting and was so pleased. Immediate good vibes when I saw the inclusion flag in the window. Then there were a variety of people working there from all walks of life and cultures. We were given time to look at the menu, with flavors thoughtfully pointed out. Ruby wonderfully made suggestions based on my questions and her drink suggestion DID NOT DISSAPPOINT. Omgosh it was so good, and everything I wanted. One of the best lavender drinks I have ever had, and I love lavender. My friend enjoyed her drink but swooned over the sandwich bread which she is convinced must be made in-house. 100% would recommend, and I will be going back. I regret giving my friend the loyalty points now.

Update: I got an iced white chocolate mocha with some revision and a stuffed croissant with sausage, mozzarella and 1 egg. Place was pippin' today, even though I literally came at 1p. The servers were still nice, but definitely way too busy to socialize. I ordered online this time since I figured I'd have to wait awhile. It did say my food and drink would be ready at 1:05p, but it didn't. The cashier/barista said it would be another 10 minutes for my order, but I ended up being there until about 1:20p. I understand they were super busy so it didn't really bother me much. I'm still coming here as much as I can and order everything on the menu

Excellent variety, food and service. We had sandwiches, salads, and cookies and everyone left happy. Would absolutely return if we're in Cheney again.

I'm visiting from Manhattan and hanging with my grandkid, and we wanted a snack. It seemed like there was only once choice, so we chose it. Guess what, Cheney doesn't need a second choice because this place is fabulous. We had some great pastries and enjoyed the vibe. Best off, the cappuccino I had was incredible! All the stars.

The staff is outstanding! Everything's fresh, from scratch! The breads used on the sandwiches are so delishious! Plenty of seating too. The meatball sandwich is outstanding with their fantastic soups

The Mason Jar is the heart and soul of little Cheney. Food is delicious, service is outstanding, and LOVE that they are in a historic building in the center of town.

First, I love the atmosphere. Not only is the staff very friendly, but so are all the customers. I walked in and everyone looked up and smiled almost in unison. It's kept very clean and there are cute decorations throughout. I ordered a hot 16 oz hazelnut and vanilla latte and the Mediterranean sandwich that came with chips and a pickle. The sandwich was much bigger than I thought it would be. I also ordered a HUGE (as big as my head) peanut butter cookie to take home to the kids. The total was $21 with a tip which made the penny pincher in me scream but it was worth every penny. Sooooo good! It took a while to get my food but they were slammed when I came in around noon on a Wednesday. I've lived in Cheney for a little over 2 years and I'm finally coming in after driving by thousands of times. I will definitely be back.

Hot Chicken Sandwich was pretty tasty. Pickle was a bit on the soggy side so had to deduct 1 star.

There is a cute little bakery/coffee shop on the main street in Cheney that I kept passing by and knew I had to stop in before I left for Phoenix. Sadly, time wasn't with me, so I was only able to run in real quick to grab some items before headed to the airport. The Mason Jar is soo cute, I wish I had more time to just sit and enjoy a bite to eat. But I was able to pick up a berry filled sweet roll and an iced coffee to go. The berry roll survived making it though TSA check point and once I got to my gate, I took a bite of roll with no shame, soo good! Next time I am back I will need to get breakfast or lunch there for sure!

Deliciously serves amazingly crafted sandwiches. The hot egg nog latte was so amazing! Seriously the most scrumptious specialized coffee I have ever had. Also the gingerbread man was so tasty.

I do not frequent this place. Their coffee is only okay, and their snacks are all too expensive even before everything got like that. A work friend came out to Cheney to visit family, but wanted to meet me for coffee beforehand. It's was the same experience I had years ago. They do not treat all people the same. They are all smiles and helpful if somebody is wearing designer clothing, or some of those fancy spandex bicycle rider outfits, but locals that come in just in street clothes are treated very indifferently. And those people are mostly seniors, sadly. I did not mention this to my friend, but next time if she wants to meet I'll steer her to the nice coffee shop around the corner. Most all of the reviews for this place are from out of towners.

Really cute little shop, lots of seating. We had a WONDERFUL latte. It was dusted with rose petals. I really love shops like this were you can self serve all your utensils, water and condiments. It really helps cut down on unnecessary waste and made the cafe have a at home vibe. Besides being self serving the staff made sure we had everything we needed and were very quick. Sandwiches were really good proportions. 9/10 would visit again.

Mason Jar is a coffee staple here in Cheney! Cute place to study, grab a bite to eat, or get something to drink. The staff is very nice and quick to get your order going. I love that the Mason Jar is not only a great place to relax eat and drink and meet with people but the owners value community and will host events such as open mic nights or yoga sessions throughout the summer and school year. You must go!

was so happy my friend brought me here on a FOGGY friday afternoon. coffee shops are more enjoyable to me when the weather is gray & dark! adds so much aesthetic. anyways, i was pretty happy about my london fog, it was hot & creamy. could've been sweeter but still good. my cookie was pretty standard as well, but i will point out that the dough was something special! not sure what ingredients they used but it was soft buttery & memorable to my taste buds. this is a good study space as well for those who didn't know, few tables & bar tables with stools! a little pricey in my opinion but good quality drinks & great cookies (especially cookie dough)

Came here to wait for a meeting and grab a quick bite. The place seems open and a good area to study. Parking is available just on the side!

Way cool update the owner apologized when he heard what happen...I guess the kid didn't know, but now he does. Food is usually good.

Good food. Good coffee. Great atmosphere. Whenever we are in Cheney we stop in for coffee or lunch.

Showed up here to do some homework. I'm a EWU grad (Go Eags!), but I never went here as a student. Walked in, the two nice ladies behind the bar were swamped with customers, so it did take a bit get the food and drink that I ordered. I ordered the Mason Jar latte, if you're wondering it does come in a small mason jar, and a breakfast sandwich that has garlic aioli, which was amazing. The wait was worth it. The hype is well deserved. Great coffee, great food, clean bathrooms, great service, and pretty fast wifi.

Sandwiches were good, crafty boutique stuff you won't find at Subway. The price is a little high but so is everything nowadays right. There is absolutely no service beyond bringing your product to the table. You order at the counter, get your own water and bus your own table. Still the stupid point of sale machine try's to guilt you into a tip. It starts at 20% and goes up from there. This is ridiculous considering the amount of service, and the price of a sandwich. PAY YOUR PEOPLE PROPERLY FOR SELLING A $15 SANDWICH!!! All in all I spent $85 on 4 sandwiches, one bagel, and an order of French toast. I will avoid this place like the plague next time I come to visit my daughter.

Nicely seasoned made to order and friendly. Good Covid protocol. Outdoor dining options as well.

Such a cute little place. I enjoyed my latte and breakfast. I love the vibe here! Lucky we found it during a short stay in the city.

The mason jar drink is a lavender and honey latte and is so good! It has fancy little flower pieces on top and is super pretty :)

Charmed in Cheney! I have had this place bookmarked forever and finally got in to check it out. I was not disappointed as it was very cool. Definitely worth driving out to Cheney to visit. I would compare it to Rockwood Bakery or Madeline's in Spokane. Coffee, tea, sandwiches, salads, baked goods, beer, wine, artisan baguettes, brunch, etc. Some unique menu items I saw were the P.N.W. which is mint tea, chocolate and steamed milk. Vegetarian friendly options include the Waldorf sandwich for $9.15.

The mason jar provides only thee finest entertainment in Cheney! They featured an amazing band by the name of Hermano Kuya! A Mexican Filipino band! They encourage diversity and make everyone feel welcomed! Not to mention the amount of quality food they have on menu! I strongly recommend this little spot.

So glad we found this spot. Got there before the crowd. Everything was delicious. Staff was great. Thx for being here

I went there for brunch on a Sunday. There were quite a few people there. The place was so noisy it was hard to talk with people at my table. Bad acoustics. I had their bagel which came with cream cheese. It was tasty and quite large. If you didn't want coffee they offered some weird brand fruit soda. I had the lemon soda. It could have used more sugar. A bagel and soda cost more than $10. Fairly high priced. They also have outdoor seating. This place was barefoot friendly.

This place is awesome. Really cute and spacious cafe with a great outdoor patio and friendly employees! My caprese sandwich was the best I've ever had--perfectly cooked and so delicious; melted cheese heaven. They had a special lemonade the day I was there, marionberry I think, that was super. If I lived closer, I'd definitely be frequenting this place! Unfortunately, I was just passing through, but I'm so glad I stopped here. If you go to the nearby Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge, this is a great place to stop for fortifications before or after!

This is a cute place that seems slightly out of place in Cheney. It's almost like Chaps' little brother and I mean that in the nicest way! It has a Pinterest-y feel, a simple menu, good coffee, and outstanding staff. I stopped here once last year for lunch and had a sandwich. It was pretty good. Nothing to write home about but I enjoyed it. Most recently, I came by with my sister for coffee and a bite to eat. I has the 7 layer bar based on her recommendation and it was really good. A bit crumbly, but once I accepted that it wasn't going to be easy, clean bites, it was good. I couldn't list all 7 layers, but there were a bunch of chocolate chips (both milk and white), coconut flakes, walnuts... and three or four other things. I went 5 stars because I get the feeling that these people really care. Since I went back, they had expanded their space and done some remodeling. They are doing it right, not just trying to get by. Both times I've been, they've been super busy and are clearly adored by the student body at Eastern. If you ever find yourself in Cheney, this is where you should go.

Mason Jar is a "must have" restaurant for visitors and locals of Cheney WA. Inside the restaurant, the ambiance is hip with ample barn type, individual, and window bar seating. Outside seating is also available under a canopy of trees and offers a small town feel. The lunch menu primarily consists of gourmet sandwiches and freshly baked sweets. We had the Toscana and the French Dip sandwiches and both were amazing. The scone with jam was a great touch to end our meal. Upon leaving, my father (with whom I shared the meal) commented that the sandwiches were a bit pricey, to which I responded "that is why they were so good"; we both chuckled... You get what you pay for :) Mason Jar is great value.

I absolutely LOVE the mason jar! Great coffee, great food and great entertainment. They have a good selection of breakfast and lunch options as well as yummy treats and snacks if you're not feeling a full meal. The sand which with an egg is mouth watering. It's a great atmosphere and they are always helping out the community. They have live music on Thursdays and do paint nights every once in a while on Fridays. Sometimes they have Yoga on Saturday mornings! I'm happy we have a place like this in Cheney! :)

Warm welcoming feeling. Appealing pastries but I was only there for coffee today. I gave three stars this time for two reasons. One I have realized I may have previously been overly generous with my stars. Secondly, I will be the first to admit I have a specific taste expectation for coffee/espresso. Unfortunately I thought my 12 ounce double Americano was watery. But I liked the service, atmosphere and appearance of the edibles enough to come back again.

We had lunch here and loved it! The caprese sandwich is fantastic. I also ordered a London Fog and it was really good. Place was clean and the service was friendly. Stop in if you're hungry - you'll be glad you did.

I went with my son today for the first time, my iced vanilla latte was great and the little barista was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend trying

Adorable little Cheney cafe with very nice ambiance. Can get a little crowded when school is in session, though! A touch on the pricey side for anything but stuff like drip coffee and bagels, but it's all made fresh and probably worth it. The coffee selection isn't huge, but it's tasty!

Order took forever to arrive, portions very small, prices were high. I had a caprese sandwich which had just few small pieces of red pepper. Pot pie was bland. Decorated nicely. Busy. Sunday afternoon.

What a delightful little place! The cozy atmosphere, excellent customer service, wonderful espresso & delicious food items I experienced on my visit here today ensured that I'll be back. I was very pleased with the rich, robust flavor of my expertly made, $2 espresso. The coffee they use here is phenomenal. I couldn't resist the lure of enjoying a bacon maple scone with the coffee, which ended up being a good choice as it, too, was really great. The sweet maple glaze balanced well against a savory dough flecked with crunchy bits of bacon, and the texture of the scone was spot on - soft with only lightly crispy edges, not too dry or crumbly. It was neither aggressively salty nor overly sweet. (Edit: I have now eaten this scone several times and I will say that I, and everyone who has ever been with me who tasted it, feel these scones could benefit from more maple drizzle.) The scone whet my appetite so I also decided to indulge in a more substantial nosh. They had several very interesting Panini choices; almost got the Waldorf - cream cheese, feta, pear, honey walnuts, cranberries, yum! Other choices were $5 ramekins of crusty-edged pasta al formaggio, $4 buttery looking quiche, large $6 helpings of pot pie, and some very good looking soups. I was assured by the girl taking my order that everything on the menu is house made, which really made the prices seem even more reasonable, considering nothing is over $7. I finally settled on a very interesting looking item called "The Continental Kick" ($6) Ham, bacon, cheese & Tabasco on egg-dipped Italian garlic bread. It was a great choice; the bread, which had been dipped in egg on one side, was well toasted/pressed so that the cheese had melted perfectly into meats, which were very good quality. I do feel there could have been a bit more meat, however. The added dashes of tobacco brought the whole dish together and the effect was quite delicious. I wish the bread would have evidenced more garlic (I couldn't taste any at all) but if they hadn't said it was garlicky I wouldn't have even noticed it missing. Because I was pretty happy with what I'd eaten so far, on the way out I bought a slice of a very toothsome-looking raspberry glazed pound cake to enjoy later. They gave me a huge, moist slab, which looks well worth the measly $3 price tag. I'm really looking forward to it, as well as to going back to The Mason Jar soon to enjoy more delightfully fresh-baked treats and to try another one of those rather interesting Panini!

Their gluten free options are wonderful! I have eaten breakfast there many times. The French toast is FIRE!!! SO YUMMY! It's my fave.

Awesome FRESH pastries and baked goods - free of preservatives and not overly sweet. Sandwiches take a long time to prepare, but they're worth the wait.

I really enjoyed my sandwich and coffee, but my husband wasn't a fan. This is a great spot for a small town local coffee shop.

They are always so sweet when me and my roommate go there and so helpful. I really love this place they're such good people!

This place was just perfect! Delicious vanilla caramel lattè, best spinach asiago quiche, delicious French toast...cozy environment & really nice customer service! My hubby & I enjoyed our breakfast experience very much!!!

Farm fresh seasonal vegetables, great coffee and a cozy environment with live music on Thursdays. Love coming here for the vegge sandwich and bakery. And great place to do homework if your an EWU student.
