Super cute breakfast diner! They serve breakfast all day and it wasn't too busy on a Sunday morning! They have a rotating special menu that they have posted up around the restaurant. The service is quick - food was out in around 10 minutes. The portions are very generous. Chicken fried steak, huevos rancheros, and the gravy were delicious! read more

Went there for brunch on Saturday morning and tried omlette and buttermilk pancake. We were seated pretty fast but our server was in a rush. The food tasted okay, Omlette could have been better and the hashbrowns were burnt. The pancake also tasted a bit bitter and I had to put a lot of syrup to eat it. They had nice Halloween decorations. Probably will not visit this place again. read more

We went on a Sunday around 1 PM. There was no wait, and we were seated fairly quickly. We ordered the veggie omelette with hash browns and buttermilk pancakes. The omelette was good, and the hash browns were fried and crispy. However, the pancakes were very dry and bitter I'm not sure why they tasted bitter, but I wouldn't recommend the pancakes. The service was just average neither great nor particularly bad. read more

I went here for a Sunday brunch and did not have to wait for a table. We got the crab cake benedict and the 14 carrot cake pancakes (triple stack) to share. Food was not that good especially at such high prices and service is kinda okay but careless. The only thing worth getting here is the carrot cake pancakes. Crab cake benedict is a joke. I expected real crab meat for $24 - they just slap on imitation crab and call it a day. I felt a bit ripped off. The crispy hash brown on the side was good, a little greasy. The carrot cake pancakes has a nice frosting. The butter and syrup was tasteless and okay quality. The pancake itself is quite delicious. I think this is the only thing to get out of the other options. Other items are diner stuff charged at a hefty premium. Service is a bit careless as there were spills when the waitress refills water and coffee. However, the bare minimum service is met which is fine in general but not enough for a diner that usually offers okay food so service should be outstanding. read more

There's not a lot of casual brunch places around this area, so it's understandable that it is always crowded there. We will have to try again, because we didn't love the food at all. Everything felt a little bland, other than the delicious cinnamon roll. Staff were friendly and the food came out relatively quick. read more

Pros: cozy vibe, this place seems to be a local favorite Cons: food is on the greasy side (which is common for diners), waiting staff is friendly but not very attentive, food (to me) tastes so so read more

14 Carrot Cafe - The Athenian omelette and 14 carrots cake pancake with a cup of joe! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The first thing that comes to mind when you dine here is how fresh and healthy all their food should be. To tell you the truth looks and word of mouth can be deceiving. We came here to have what we thought would be a great Sunday breakfast. I ordered the basic breakfast which included two eggs, toast, hash browns and bacon. It did take quite a long time to get and when it did arrive the eggs were over cooked and brown. The toast was burnt and hard as a rock. The bacon looked and tasted like plastic. The hash browns were very greasy to the taste. My husband ordered the Bennie and the jets which to my surprise were good. The place is clean and nice but it could use some sprucing up and some of the servers could use a refresher course on getting the food out faster so it will not be cold when it gets to the customer.I also have to say that after eating my stomach hurts and have been unwell since. read more

Obsessed with how cute this cafe is! Also love their carrot cake pancakes! My husband and I came on a weekend around 10:30am and we were easily able to get seating. They have both indoor and outdoor cafe seating. Service is really friendly. I heard it can get pretty busy on the weekends. We got the carrot cake pancakes - so delicious and we also had the corn beef hash with sourdough toast and scrambled eggs. The corn beef hash was really tasty! Meaty with some bell pepper and onions mixed in and with the hash browns, so tasty! 10/10 would come back again for breakfast/brunch! I really want to try their carrot cake and cinnamon roll! read more

Solid diner in the Eastlake neighborhood. There's a lot to like here! THE ROSES: Really friendly and efficient staff. In a young, hip, neighborhood like this you would tend to expect a lot of servers affecting a '2Cool4U' attitude, but the folks here treat all the customers really well and act like they appreciate your visit and your business. The food is very well prepared, and with care. The hash browns, usually kind of a 'throwaway' dish, are very well done: crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, and not a bit greasy! Portions are very generous. Pretty much every dish is big enough for two normal appetites to share. THE THORNS: The menu doesn't have as many choices as you may see in similar diners (especially lunch offerings), but this is balanced by the fact that every dish they do serve is executed really well. No parking lot, so you have to find street parking if you're driving, and in this part of town that can be a challenge. Like pretty much all Seattle restaurants that have been impacted by the high minimum wage with no allowance for tip income, prices here are rather steep compared to similar establishments outside the city limits. Expect to drop at least $40 for breakfast for two, and plan on going north of that if you want an adult beverage with your brunch. THE VERDICT: This restaurant has been around a LONG time, and it's not hard to see why. Solid execution and thoughtful service compensate for a pretty basic menu that breaks no new ground and spendy prices. Highly recommend. read more

Service was prompt and attentive. The carrot cake pancakes are a must for all carrot cake lovers! Perfectly sweet with a hearty texture from the raisins and nuts included. Went on a Saturday morning around 10am and there was no wait time for 2 which was spectacular. A little pricey but that's Eastlake for you. read more

Super cute little spot in Eastlake! They also seem to have some limited outdoor seating and are pretty busy so you might need to wait for a seat on a weekend for brunch. The server was very kind and also very much herself and candid. It was fun joking with her and it felt very much like a neighborhood cafe. The food was really really good too. My friend regularly comes here for brunch and suggested it and I'm so glad she did! I loved the carrot cake pancakes and cinnamon(?) butter (and I'm not a big carrot cake person either so if you are then you'll be over the moon!). I got a side of eggs and they brought me bacon too, which I just gave to my friend as I'm vegetarian. They have a ton of vegetarian options on the menu too which is awesome. I'd definitely come back and try more! read more

Finally got to review the restaurant that's been "cracking eggs for 40 years." Pros: -Large portion sizes - Seated immediately - Service was super attentive - Food was AMAZING! You could taste the freshness of the ingredients. - The specials were so creative! Eggnog pancakes, Thanksgiving themed eggs benedict, oh my! Cons: - Brass monkey was very frothy as you can see! - Did not realize our mains had a big side of hashbrowns so we definitely over-ordered! read more

14 Carrot Cafe is a small brunch spot in the Eastlake area with a lot of history. At first it used to be a grocery and meat market, then it was a variety of taverns for years, then it became the 14 Carrot Cafe. It has been run by the same family for 25+ years and is still going strong. We came here on a Sunday morning at 10:30am and were seated immediately for a party of two. I ordered the lake union scramble ($18.50) and both the scramble and the hash browns were on the bland side and needed some salt and pepper. The bread also was a little hard and felt like it had been sitting there for a while. It was pretty pricey for the portion size and I was expecting more. We also ordered the 14 carrot cake ($9) to share and it was a little dense. The frosting gave it some sweetness but it was just okay. The staff was friendly but I thought the food could've been better. read more

This is a good breakfast spot for good portions. I wouldn't say the food itself is outstanding. The scramble I had was just okay...not a lot of flavor, but the bacon was good. I would come back to try the carrot cake since that's what they're famous for! read more

Cute breakfast spot in Eastlake! We had the carrot cake pancakes and breakfast burrito. Pancakes and the cream cheese frosting are incredible, highly recommend. Breakfast burrito was filling and a decent size. Because you're in the Eastlake neighborhood beware of the higher prices - paid about $60 for two drip coffees and two entrees. That's pretty standard for the area! read more

Family gathering today and this cafe was in the neighborhood where we were centered. Cute place with good energy vibe and friendly staff that were quick and energetic. Had to order the carrot pancake for everyone to try and boy were we glad that we did. Next time I'm here I'm ordering that as my entree or dessert. The hash browns were on the colder side of hot but wow they were crispy and tasty. The rye toast came to the table cold...one star lost. The other entrees were good, not wow. Overall a good place to have a reliable meal. read more

As other reviews have mentioned, the menu is smaller than your usual diner. That being said, we've been here several times and each dish has been amazing! Best part - they offer gluten free buns, bread, and even gf French toast and pancakes!! Overall, they have a cozy diner vibe, and I can understand why people keep going back to this place. read more

Came here for breakfast on a Sunday and we were able to get a table for 6 easily. I got the Greek eggs Benedict which was a special they had today. The eggs benny was good but not enough sauce at all. I also got a side of bacon and the bacon was very crisp which I like but it could've been cooked less. I got a drip coffee as well which was alright but they just had regular cream and sugar for it. It started to get packed there once we were there for a while but we had very attentive service. read more

For me this is one of the best breakfast spots in the PNW. We try and visit the Seattle area a couple times a year, and this is the one place we always eat at least once. It's got a laid back vibe on the inside and some of the best service anywhere. Order your meal and always get at least on carrot cake pancake! You will not be disappointed! read more

Maybe this is a one off? But service was pretty dismal. Asked for fried egg then precede to argue with waiter how a poached egg isn't fried? Unnecessary. Asked for cream took a good 15 mins to get it, but by then the coffee was cold. Food in general is good, but service made us think we'll try out different bfast places before returning. Area is happening and restaurant full. read more

Chicken Fried Steak (6/10): Gravy was nothing special and for the price I expected a flavorful CFS Cuban Sandwich (9/10): Sandwich was really good. The bread was buttered perfect and overall the sandwich had great flavor Breakfast Chorizo Burrito (7/10): Not a bad choice. Nothing special about the burrito. If you don't know what to get it's a solid option Overall I thought the food would be better for the price. The hashbrowns weren't crispy at all which made me lower my rating. read more

I went to 14 Carrot on a Sunday around 9:45am. We were seated right away and service was very prompt and attentive. I ordered a carrot cake pancake and a side of bacon, and holy cow, the pancake was so good!!! I also tried a bit of the cinnamon roll and buttermilk pancakes from my friends, which were both also fantastic. My only gripe is that the prices were a bit steep (almost $10 for one pancake), but I suppose that's to be expected for the location. Overall, I would definitely go back - next time I might try their pumpkin pancake! read more

A friend and I came to eat brunch here. Parking wasn't too bad for a Sunday, we found street parking pretty close by. We got to pick our own seating which was nice. Our server was just a doll, they were so sweet and attentive, just such a bubbly personality. Someone you would want to get to know. My friend and I both ordered the eggs Benedict, she got a Greek style one and I got the one with pesto. Delicious. The hash browns were also delicious very crispy. The vibe was homey and definitely a place I will visit again. read more

Pretty average brunch place. Food is fine, nothing to call home about but nothing to complain about either. Coffee is a bit weak but not offensively so. Atmosphere is cute with homey vintage-style decor. The wait staff who helped us were very friendly and accomodating to our largeish (8 people?) group. Prices were average to maybe even a little below average for the area, which can be expensive. All in all it's a fine place to go if you need breakfast/brunch on eastlake, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go here. read more

Great little (not so little) spot in Eastlake! Great food. Pricing, good. Amazing customer service! The Breakfasts are awesome. Today I tried the club sandwich, comes with turkey, ham crispy tasty bacon, cheese, lettuce, and tomato... I added avocado, it was as delicious as it sounds! Their jam is homemade! Ask for Kristina! She's awesome! Best server ever! read more

Absolutely great breakfast. We got the seasonal specials. One was a Mediterranean scramble, which was new to me and really delicious. The other was the orange poppy seed pancakes. Our server was super friendly and hilarious to chat with. He even brought us a cream cheese frosting on the house to try with our pancakes, which was amazing and decadent but it was too heavy for us to finish on the spot. The vibe here was pretty nice too, being in a historic building and all. There were photos of the owners up on some of the hallways which was fun to look at. Will definitely visit again soon! read more

I usually can't eat a stack of pancakes this big but I finished every last bit of the carrot cake pancakes- they were super good! If you're a fan of carrot cake I think you'll really like these- they're fluffy with a good cinnamon flavor and going all out with the whipped butter/syrup made it such a good treat. They have nuts and dried berries but not too many in my opinion (I don't like them a lot in pancakes usually). The service was great and so super friendly! (: Seating is available outside or inside. read more

Walked in and while there were two hostess standing at the entrance I was not acknowledged for about two minutes. The whole experience eating here seemed very impersonal. Received my order of the Monterey omelet which seemed cold and the salsa tasted sour/old. I decided to give it another try the following day since I was in town for the weekend. The staff were a bit more welcoming but nothing noteworthy. the basic breakfast seemed cold, undercooked hash browns and the cinnamon roll was dry/stale. Not impressed. A bummer as the Eastlake neighborhood could benefit from a great friendly breakfast place but this missed the mark. read more

What a find A great spot for a weekend breakfast! Greeted and seated quickly. We had the Eggs Benedict, Farmers Breakfast, the Greek Omelette, and the Tuscan Omelette. We're already planning to come back and try the pancakes. Incredibly cozy and unpretentious. read more

14 Carrot Cafe is located just down the street from my home on Eastlake. I have wanted to check this place out for awhile now but based on the operating hours it has never met my schedule. Recently, my wife and I were vacationing in Arizona and we flew home extremely early the other day. I realized that this was finally my chance to stop by 14 carrot on the way home and get some grub. One thing I always complain about living downtown Seattle is there is never restaurants that feel mom and pop like. I come from a small town growing up and this is something important that I miss. Everyplace in downtown is so modern or tries to be trendy and this isn't always the best especially for breakfast. 14 Carrot Cafe was immediately the place I've been looking for! The second we walked in I knew I found a breakfast place that would be amazing. We were greated and got to select our seating. Quickly the kind waitress took our drink order and the food honestly came almost 5 minutes after. The service was great and quick. My mimosa was strong in a good way and the glass was large. Of course on an eggs Benny the poached egg is always the determine factor to make or break the meal. The eggs were cooked just right. Look, if you want a fantastic meal and a comfortable relaxing environment check out the 14 Carrot Cafe! You won't be disappointed. -Colter read more

This is been a favorite neighborhood spot of mine for the last three years. I ordered takeout today based on the photos of the menu posted. I was vey surprised by the total amount. The prices have increased significantly. I've posted pictures of the takeout menu however, the prices are $1-$1.50 higher than listed and the haven't printed the new one. The food is good and for the most part, I think the pricing is fair with a few exceptions. A slice of carrot cake is now $9 which is more than many desserts at high end restaurants. I gave the restaurant 4 stars for a a couple of reasons. One time they forgot to put avocado in an omelette on a take out order and one of their servers is not very helpful or friendly. I've had her serve me on a 3 occasions. There is another though who delightful and provides wonderful service. I still recommend the restaurant. read more
