    Thick whole wheat toast
    Ann T.

    Big portions, all American breakfast! Even the toast is thick with pre-lathered butter Servers were attentive especially since I was in a rush. They gave me my bill very early which was helpful. Fun atmosphere because of the big open dining area!

    Avocado toast
    Sahitya M.

    Love this place for a great brunch or breakfast. The ambience, there is something about it that makes it feel so homely. The staff are very friendly and typically there is always some wait time over the weekends. The food is amazing and makes you want to come again. Totally going back again for the avocado toast

    We've been coming here quite a bit and every time we're happy with the food and service. This time I tried the bacon cheeseburger with fried which was great, as well as a cappuccino. It's family friendly and offer high chair for toddlers and they are very accommodating when someone has dietary restrictions.

    Delicious breakfast! The cafe was very welcoming and clean with large windows for people watching. My favorite breakfast is veggie eggs Benedict , this did not disappoint- eggs were soft and sauce was creamy, English muffin was crispy with spinach and avocado. My husband enjoyed the French toast with scrambled eggs and potatoes. I like the option to order a half portion for each menu item. The server was polite and attentive. Next time I'm in town I'll just stop by! Tip- pet friendly patio!

    Classic diner. Long, diverse menu. Great service. Lots of seating. Good vibes. We need more of this sort of thing.

    Dads Platter

    This little place fit the bill! Quaint atmosphere, excellent service, and great food! And plenty of it! I'm getting two meals out of the dad's platter. Highly recommend but maybe ask for crisp bacon. Lol.

    I came here with a friend and I was surprised at how busy it was on a Wednesday morning. We were seated quickly though. It's pretty cozy and homey feeling. I tried the curry salad worth a side of bacon. The portion is pretty generous as I was stuffed after. Food was pretty standard in my opinion. Service was ok, I wish they would refill my water but they never came back to check on us much. Overall, it was more of a 3.5 star

    Sriracha Burger (sub chicken! Sub Swiss! No veggies) with maple bacon and sriracha mayo.
    Erica W.

    Decided to ride our bikes to breakfast on a sunny Sunday. We arrived at the witching hour (which is what I call the breakfast rush!) It was completely out of character for me, but I ordered the sriracha burger instead of the standard breakfast fare. I'll blame it on the 10 mile bike ride it took to get there! The burger was delicious. I did not regret my decision one bit! The maple bacon paired with sriracha sauce and Swiss cheese was *chefs kiss*! (It normally comes with pepper jack cheese but I like Swiss.) The fries were delicious too. Crunchy and batter-y with a soft center. Next time I'll definitely try the breakfast!

    One of my fav brunch spots on the east side. We always order their crab benedict and southwest scramble here. Absolutely delicious brunch items. I have also tried their waffles, pancakes and havent yet ordered and item that was just okay. Every item was amazing here. They have a good selection of drinks as well. Their bloody mary and irish coffees are my fav. Service is quick. On a sunny day I love sitting in their outdoor patio and enjoying my brunch. I wish you'll had a branch in downtown seattle but this place is totally worth the drive! Highly recommend.

    Found a Groupon deal for Alexa's Cafe and we were pleasantly surprised by the food! We came for brunch on a Sunday and waited about 20 minutes or so for a table. The restaurant is decently sized, with a lot of tables inside but unfortunately has a bit of a wait out the door. It's easy to find in downtown Bothell since the area around it is pretty unassuming. I got the sausage gravy and biscuits and the bread was soft and the gravy was not too salty. The service was speedy and the food tasted very much like a home-cooked meal. I'd be tempted to come again on a weekday or something like that!

    Crab Benny on gluten free bread
    Amber S.

    Yesterday was my first time at Alexa's. I had a wonderful experience! The staff was attentive and upbeat. Our service was very quick. I really appreciated the food options! You can get gluten free bread and switch out potato's for zucchini or tomatoes. Made my meal much more enjoyable. It's a casual atmosphere and quite busy for a Monday morning- I can only imagine this place is packed on weekends. Looking forward to my next trip in!

We made a reservation on Resy (which is really great if you have American Express because they have a special dining compensation program through Resy). Brittany was our server, and fantastic. We started with the martini espresso and a cappuccino heavy on the foam. My friend ordered the tender pulled beef short ribs with pan roasted potatoes that came topped with perfectly fried eggs. I ordered the shrimp and grits with eggs over easy. The grits were so creamy and wonderfully hot, temperature hot not spicy, and the shrimp came flavored in a sauce that is hard to describe but very easy to eat. Conversation was possible because it wasn't too loud and the seating was fantastic, not tight or packed together, and there was in fact a really wonderful covered patio space outside complete with attractive center table and decor of lights. For her birthday there was a lemon ricotta cheesecake that was perfectly doused in cherry sauce with optional Graham powder crust circling the moist and light cheesecake. Came with a sparkler which made for the perfect occasion to take a birthday photo. And even complementary many pours of champagne to toast. I don't know if there's a better place to dine in Bothell. Make a reservation and then expect to be impressed by both the food and the service. We were. Thanks Brittany for making the occasion such a memorable one.

Our waitress came over to take our order and when we got our drinks, we were checked once again and was notified our food was coming shortly. Food arrived fresh, hot, and delicious! All in all, giving The Cottage another chance after I've been coming here for years before the takeout experience has reminded me the quality of customer service and food stayed the same pre-Covid and post-Covid. Thank you to Madison and the wonderful staff!

Apparently they "stopped doing that" in September, which was unclear from their website or Yelp reviews/pics, and it wasn't just me--the table next to me asked their server the same thing. My friend and I got brunch-y drinks (mimosa, spicy Bloody Mary), and then each got one of the only two items on the menu that had eggs (shakshuka and a breakfast sandwich). While I can't comment on the shakshuka, the breakfast sandwich had thick bread that was toasted a bit too much and wrecked the roof of my mouth. The drinks were good but the sandwich + a mimosa set me back $30 before tip so I don't think I'll be coming back again--certainly not during "brunch" time!

However, the way we were spoken to was, in my experience, one of the rudest and most unprofessional interactions I've ever encountered.

I got a confirmation email immediately after booking which was convenient. They allowed me to modify my reservation easily when I needed to change my arrival date. The decor and interior design is beautiful, I wish I had taken more photos but I got so sucked in to exploring I barely used my phone this stay. There is not a single bland square inch of this property, everything is thoughtfully curated and well designed. I loved how every wall has hand painted art on it. The lighting both indoor and outdoors is warm and soft, which is such a rare treat in a day and age when everywhere else has harsh cold LEDs everywhere. The rooms are dark but in a comforting and pleasant way. There are large windows that let in plenty of natural light. I was extremely impressed with the cleanliness of the bathroom in our hotel room. For such a wet, humid environment, it is nearly impossible to have a bathroom without mold, yet they accomplished this somehow! My husband and I were fascinated, this is probably the only bathroom we have ever seen in our lives with absolutely zero mold. There was also NO dust in the room whatsoever. We got the Romance Package which included a bottle of champagne (nicely placed in an ice bucket), engraved souvenir champagne flutes, a little box of 4 bite sized chocolates, and some floral massage oil, all of which was placed in the room prior to arrival.I appreciate the pet friendly additions such as placement on the ground floor, doggie bags, and a bowl. The room did not have any pet smell either. All of the staff was incredibly kind and friendly, but Conor at the front desk especially went above and beyond to accomodate us. Even when the front desk was busy and he had multiple phone calls come through, he was attentive and patient with everyone. He also gave us a box for our champagne flutes and a wine stopper for our bottle so we could take it with us. We had one minor inconvenience during our stay and he made sure we were appropriately compensated. Really outstanding service overall from Conor! I also purchased a passport and received a prize for getting all the stamps. It's such a cute little addition that encourages exploration. If you stay here, you absolutley need to view the whole property! The lush landscaping and themed buildings are so special. All of the other businesses and restaurants onsite were amazing, which I will be reviewing separately. We visited 3 restaurants, and all 3 had amazing food. Very excited to check out all of the other McMenamins properties after this wonderful experience. Thank you Anderson School for an awesome stay!
