For those of us this year who have a few last minute holiday presents to pick out, Café Lago has added a simple yet delicious line-up of Pacific Northwest favorites to choose from in a mini pop-up.

Green Italian Plum Jam ($20): Ayak Gordon’s jam made from fruit from Yakima.

Taki’s Organic English Walnuts ($8 lb): harvested in 2014.

Café Lago Panforte ($30): a 24 year old tradition of “strong bread” resembling a fruit pie, as featured in Seattle Magazine.

Not only does the Café boast a wood fire oven, but also a classy bar located on the side of the restaurant. Soft, white light flows from the windows, creating a perfect holiday ambiance throughout. The featured items above are sure not to disappoint, especially when accompanied by an evening at Café Lago.

Upcoming Festivities

Come join the restaurant and order yourself a plate of American grits on a cold evening night.
