We certainly have plenty of unique restaurants here in Washington, from our Seinfeld themed eatery to a burger joint in a milk bottle. The Yellow Church Cafe is no exception — not only is it, in fact, in a former church, but both the food and ambiance are delightfully charming. This cute little place will steal your heart.

The Yellow Church Cafe is located right in the middle of Washington, in the heart of Ellensburg.
