Reveille Café - Port Townsend

Prime Location. Good selection of dishes and treats you like. Soups. Big Americans. attentive staff. Very nice bathroom right in the vicinity.

Reveille Cafe used to be one of the coolest things in Fort Warden State Park. A hidden gem that most Port Townsend locals didn't even know about. Two and a half years since my last visit and these days are gone. There are no interiors except three tables... and they're all stuffed in a corner, because of Kovid. No six foot distances required. The hardest breakfast and lunch served on real dishes with real flatware is one thing of the past. A sandwich is now available in a paper fruit container and plastic break in the mouth utensils. I asked if I should sit outside to not take a four table. Staff were confused not to know what was a fourth table or a two table for this matter. The disinfected personality-free staff informed me that the breakfast sandwiches were not available... after it was opened for 1 1/2 hours. It was the only breakfast item on Sunday breakfast menu. I chose a roasted chicken sandwich that was crispy and tasty on the outside, but the bread was soggy inside. The chicken was Tepid slices of pressed meat; Cheese melted around the edges, but not inside. the vegetables were taken from a prepacked salad; ground tomato wedges and undisturbed spinach. Unwashed tables for Kovid, I'd imagine. The bathrooms were tragic, but the cleaning protocols were all checked. The gift shop is now storage; look through the glass door at things you cannot have. Post Script I was here at Fort Worden State Park for 4 1/2 hours and have still seen a Ranger.

After running the fort we split a reuben sandwich, a mocha and chips. It is bright, sunny and very clean. The food was fast and delicious.

Coffee is good. You have 3 different types of croissants. I think a Danish or two would be better. Or any other choice. Who needs 3 flavors of croissants?

I stop in here every so often to grab a cold drink as I hike through the Fort. I no longer eat here very often. The café is bright and pleasant with large windows and nicely spaced seating. The menu has a nice selection, and there are grab and go snacks and drinks. The quality is adequate, the service is often slow and the prices are high.
