Good to know

Why it's different

There isn't much Ukrainian food around Vancouver, WA — and most of what exists is grocery shelves, not kitchens. Main St Cafe is different: a family-owned café in Battle Ground where the borscht simmers in the kitchen and the pelmeni arrive hot with sour cream, the way they're meant to be served.

The rest of the menu is French-style crepes and espresso, which makes for an odd and wonderful combination: come for a Nutella crepe, discover the piroshki. Or the other way around. Twenty minutes up SR-503 from downtown Vancouver, with free parking out front.

Main St Cafe is a great place to grab a drink, food, and a crepe. Their Cibatta BLT is amazing with bacon, lettuce, tomato, ham, avocado, and an egg! (And the vanilla London Fog was so good!)
