Masonry Cafe & Catering

Located in the old Firehouse building, Masonry Cafe delivered! Delicious breakfast, fast friendly service, and endless selection of baked goods, It is definitely worth a drive to Yelm!

The husband and I decided to try something new for breakfast. BEST DECISION EVER!!! The staff was friendly and welcoming, the housemade sourdough was off the charts, and the food was delicious. The sausage links are fresh made and the avocado toast was the best I have ever tasted. We will definitely be coming back frequently.

We used Masonry Cafe for catering services for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding! Shelly and her team are fantastic. We were stunned by an incredible tasting menu and had a difficult time selecting food because it was all fantastic! Shelly was great with making dietary restriction accommodations. Her team was sure to keep mine and my husband's plates and glasses full which was a great relief on our wedding day. And we would HIGHLY recommend a dessert bar along with your wedding cake. I am so pleased that we had this crew to help make our day the best one ever.

We had the Monte Cristo and chicken and waffles! All of it was great. Our server was on top of it. The owner Shelly is one of the nicest people who I got to meet recently. Thank you Shelly for the awesome food and service!

A Hidden Gem with History and Heart – 5 Stars! I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Masonry Cafe, and I can confidently say it was one of the most memorable cafe experiences I've ever had. The building itself is a piece of history—once an old fire station, it’s now been stunningly transformed into a warm, inviting cafe with so much character and charm. The ambiance alone is worth the visit. Our server, Riquie, was truly a highlight. She was kind, attentive, and made us feel so welcome from the moment we walked in. Her positive energy and friendly nature added such a personal touch to our meal. Speaking of the food—WOW. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, with generous portions that were more than worth the price. Every bite felt thoughtful and flavorful, and the presentation was just as impressive as the taste. Whether you're looking for a cozy brunch spot, a unique place to bring friends, or just a relaxing place to enjoy great food and service, Masonry Cafe delivers on all fronts. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit!

Excellent food. Great service. A little bit of a wait for food but well worth the wait. I recommend the club sandwich. They have a kids menu. Parking was a little difficult to find. Plenty of tables including booths inside. You seat yourself and a waitress will assist you. Pay at the counter at the end of your meal. They have a variety of baked goods including cheesecakes, cookies and sourdough bread.

Great food and very good service. Breakfast is only served until 1100 when we visited. Good lunch selection and a large variety of pastries to browse in their glass cases. Drove by this business mana times and always wanted to visit - it didn't disappoint! Loved they kept the firehouse theme and the large glass doors.

Masonry, in Yelm, has been one of our go to restaurants. I have never written a review on them before. Today changed all that. Ray and I were setting up our confidence building course for this weekend. One of our employees came out to assist. Her birthday was 4/30, so when we took a much needed break and took her out to lunch. Masonry is in the old Yelm firehouse. The big rollup doors are on the north side of the restaurant and work. It is nice when the doors are open in a nice day. Unfortunately, the road noise tends to be a problem. The staff work hard to find a happy medium for everyone. We were greeted by all of the staff when we arrived. There were a few open tables so we told to pick one and sat down. Menus and water delivered right away. I debated having a margarita but I knew I had more arena work to do, so I passed. Grace ordered the chicken bacon ranch wrap with their artisan hand made onion rings, Ray ordered the California Grilled Chicken on Ciabatta bun with fries, and I ordered the BLT on homemade sourdough with fries. Our meals came out hot and individually prepared. My sandwich was well loaded with bacon. Grace’s wrap was huge and well loaded. Ray’s chicken was hot, moist and tender. Of course, we had to have dessert. Masonry has a HUGE case full of cookies, pastries, homemade cinnamon rolls, and then there is the cake, cheesecake, and specialty dessert case. That case alone is a don’t miss. When our server learned about Grace’s birthday, she gathered up the chef and came out with a dessert for Grace’s birthday. Fortunately, or unfortunately, for Grace, by the time we settled on dessert, the restaurant was all ours. All in all, we had another awesome meal. I think we helped Grace have a great birthday albeit a few days late. Beyond a doubt, we will be back for more meals!!!
