About
With a tip of the hat to Alice in Wonderland’s Mad Hatter, and a menu showcasing Cajun classics, Ten/6 blends Southern charm with playful fantasy.
This beloved breakfast and lunch spot is the concept of the dynamic mother-daughter duo, Jill Davis and Taylor Taylor. When Taylor was sixteen years old, she envisioned a unique eatery that combined her passion for Southern cooking with classic storybook whimsy.
The restaurant’s name pays homage to the iconic tag worn on the Mad Hatter’s hat. That same creative energy flows through every corner of the family-run business today.
Operating a restaurant takes immense dedication, and Jill and Taylor approach their work with a deep commitment to community and family values. Their blend of New Orleans fare and fantastical storybook decor creates an environment unlike any other in the Pacific Northwest.
Here, every detail reflects their shared passions, creating a welcoming and wildly imaginative environment. You’ll enter a space dedicated to bold flavors, bright colors, and joyful gatherings. This dedication to both high-quality food and an extraordinary visual experience makes it a standout destination.
Visit for yourself and see how Jill and Taylor’s hard work paid off, where you’ll feel like an honored guest at a fantastic tea party!

Ten/6: Menu & Drinks
Prepare yourself for a culinary adventure that rivals any children’s storybook fantasy! With the combination of Louisiana-style dishes and Pacific Northwest ingredients, your taste buds are in for a wild ride!
One absolute must-try item is the classic order of beignets. These deep-fried, pillowy, piled-high pastries arrive with a generous dusting of powdered sugar. It’s a warm, sweet start to any morning. Add the rotating seasonal dips and fruit whips, and these beignets will disappear quickly at your table.
For those craving a savory and substantial meal, the gumbo will deliver. This family recipe hails from Acadian, Louisiana, showcasing what they call “layers of flavor.” Featuring a Chocolate-colored roux, this Cajun classic features Red Gator marinated chicken thighs, Andouille sausage, Tasso ham, gumbo file, and various herbs. It comes on a bed of steamed rice with potato salad and their signature crawfish biscuits.
Another Southern favorite is the S.O.B.’s (Son of a Biscuit). This twist on a comfort-food classic features made-from-scratch cheddar and garlic biscuits smothered in a rich Andouille sausage gravy. Topped with crisp bacon, this dish showcases rich seasoning with its generous, satisfying portions.
For those craving something beyond the French Quarter, consider the Hakuna Mataco. Combining the Swahili “Hakuna” (“no worries”) with the play on words for three tacos, “Mataco,” you get a savory, palate-pleasing meal. With your choice of flour or corn tortillas, you get three tacos filled with smoked pulled pork with fried sweet onions, roasted jalapeño cream cheese, and cider honey apple slaw.
The tantalizing beverage selection features morning libations and specialty coffees. The refreshing passion fruit mimosas are a popular choice, offering a fruity twist on the classic brunch cocktail. It’s a tropical twist that perfectly balances the rich, savory food.
Diners looking for a non-alcoholic boost can also enjoy exceptional custom coffee blends, including a traditional Southern-style brew that honors authentic breakfast culture.
When your Gem State getaway needs a wildly imaginative eatery with soul-satisfying food, look no further than Ten/6.
