    French toast and classic platter
    Edgar A.

    What a great place for breakfast. Ordered the French toast and the classic platter. Both were delicious. The staff was friendly. The bathroom was super clean. The cherry on top, the prices were WAY better than what the hotel wanted to charge. Glad I found this place. Thank you.

    Two egg breakfast

    I am a big yelper so with 5 stars, I def had to go and check this place out. First off, I do want to say, I came here for breakfast, but it seems as if they have an intensive lunch menu, unfortunately I won't be able to try as I am here for a training and lunch is provided. With that being said. I had the 2 eggs (cooked well), bacon (crispy per my request) and the hash brown, to my surprise the hash brown was not frozen, it's the type of hash brown that you would purchase at a grocery store and warm up via oven/air fryer. Their espresso machine was out of order, so a bit bummed. However, their drip coffee wasn't too bad. Was a one person show so lucky it wasn't too busy, so we got our food pretty quickly. Other than that, just your average cafe food.

    The place was very spacious and incredible servers who were very friendly. I would definitely recommend for a morning break. The food did take a little bit longer which means it's fresh unlike some breakfast places. I really enjoyed the k toast but would've liked a bit more flavor in the eggs. Overall I would come back to try other items on their menu.

    Breakfast plate in a box
    Sin-Yaw W.

    It's the courthouse cafeteria and, for that, not bad. Since the customers are relatively captive and usually pressed for time, they must strive first for efficiency. You come, you order, you get a box for what you ordered, and out you go. You'll come back if the box contained what you ordered and was eatable. They exceeded that expectation and therefore also attracted some external foot traffic. I would say the breakfast plate was exactly what I expected, taste-wise, and also the Americano. I was hoping for better serving ware and utensils. Like a real plate and metal knife/fork. But they couldn't be bothered to separated dine-in and to-go customers. To be fair, I was the only one sitting down to eat.

    Courthouse Club.
    Libby W.

    Got delivery via DoorDash. Ingredients were fresh and good quality, but the "Maddie Melt" did not come grilled, so def wasn't a "melt" (and yes, I did specify hot in my order). The Courthouse Club was exactly as described.

    Andrew is the best! He's so open and welcoming. His energy explodes in a good way to attract people. I would love to live in Seattle just to come here and feel the positive energy. We tried the Korean street toast, recommended here on Yelp! I ordered three one with sausage, one with bacon and one with ham. My husband and I shared. (Obviously took home leftovers it's so filling) My girls had hash browns and fries( not my choice for their last breakfast here) but hey I wanted a pain free meal . So good and must try. Our first visit last week we had the court house sandwich. All choices were amazing. And don't forget to order your hot cocoa! Mahalo cafe Madeline for your excellent service

    8 piece Korean fried chicken with sweet and spicy sauce
    Katie R.

    This is seriously the best Korean fried chicken in Seattle! The sauces are incredible, the wings are hot and crispy and tender, and all around it is an amazing meal. I could eat this all day

    Seoul bowl - all the works
    Lea S.

    Yummy, casual lunch spot with friendly, fast service and plenty of indoor seating. You have to try the Korean spicy fried chicken sandwich - it's super juicy with textures of a crunchy coating and cole slaw, with just the right amount of spice, sauce, and buttery bun ratio.

    Wow! What a great greeting this fine Monday morning. They greet everyone like they know them. I sat in the lobby and was able to observe it. The breakfast burrito was yummy. The coffee was PERFECT! They have a coffee expert in house. He put a lot of love into it. I do love my crew at Starbucks, however this could be my favorite. Check it out!

    Korean Street toast
    Jeffery K.

    Cafe Madeline serves up a solid Korean street toast and coffee. I was searching for a breakfast/coffee place on my most recent trip to Seattle and this restaurant was just a few blocks from my hotel. The Korean street toast was well-made with a Korean omelet, Krispy bacon, and ketchup sandwiched between well- buttered bread ($10). They also had a solid mocha. I couldn't connect to their wifi so might not be an amazing place to sit and study, but that may have been more due to my technical ineptitude than the lack of wifi.

    Seoul bowl
    Belle B.

    The food here is amazing! They have everything from coffee, drinks, bakery, sandwiches, and lunch in one stop. I got spicy pork over purple rice with all the toppings. The staffs are super friendly and welcoming. This is the gem spot to eat delicious lunch and get some coffee on a busy day!

    I really liked this place! It has a lot of variety. I picked up a basic sandwich and was happy with it. I'd come back.

    Korean Street Toast sandwich is SO good. So good I almost forgot to take a picture before taking several bites.
    Linda C.

    Really friendly people work here and the Korean street toast was worth getting up early for. I'm only here for a few days but may be back tomorrow.

    tl;dr the juicy Caribbean pork sandwiches at this revived Seattle mini-chain live up to the…read morelegendary hype Un Bien is arguably Seattle's most popular sandwich joint, and its dramatic history begins with Cuban chef Lorenzo Lorenzo and his initial shop, Paseo. Lorenzo opened Paseo in 1994, where his popular Cuban roast pork sandwiches were regarded as among the best in the country. After years of local expansion, Paseo abruptly filed for bankruptcy in 2014. The brand was subsequently bought out by a local entrepreneur, but the sale did not include Paseo's secret recipes (the reboot attempted to reverse engineer the sandwiches with varying success). So, in 2015, Lorenzo's sons revived Paseo under a new name, Un Bien, armed with their father's original recipes. Nowadays, Un Bien is generally regarded as superior to Paseo, and you can grab their Caribbean sandos at one of the three locations across Seattle. You can't miss the pastel pink-and-teal palette of the original shack on an otherwise drab block of Ballard. As you approach the wooden window, you are greeted by the aroma of sauteed meats and veggies. Communal laquered wood benches are lined up underneath a covered pergola. Fifties hits ring respectfully around the kitchen. My partner and I visited for late weekday lunch, and we ordered immediately. We opted to focus on the signature pork shoulder, so we split the #1 Caribbean Roast and #2 The Press. Across both sandwiches, we were impressed by the tender pork, rich onions, lemon-forward aioli, and marinade-soaked baguette. The standard roast pork sandwich added on pickled jalapenos and crisp romaine, culminating in a dynamic flavor that accentuated the meat. Meanwhile, The Press featured tart banana peppers, smoked ham, and melty Swiss, amping up the sweet and savory flavors alike; we agreed that this extra-messy sandwich just edged out the standard version. Our order took just minutes to be prepared, and the bill just topped $30. Despite the fanfare, I still found myself surprised by just how satisfying Un Bien's sandwiches turned out to be. Across all the food I ate in Seattle, only these pork sandwiches would be worth a return visit, even if I had to venture out of my way.

    Messy, pricey, totally overrated…read more My family and I visited Un Bien and arrived approximately 45 minutes before closing. We ordered promptly, but were told we would only have about 10 minutes to use the seating area before it closed. When we asked for clarification because the restaurant was advertised as being open until 9:00 PM, staff confirmed they were open until then but said the seating area would close earlier anyway. After receiving our food, we were told not to sit down and were asked to leave the seating area altogether. The interaction felt abrupt and discourteous, especially given that we had arrived well before closing and had purchased food with the expectation that we could eat on-site. The food itself was average, but the poor customer service and inconsistent messaging about seating left a much stronger impression than the meal. There are other better places. Skip.

Finally moved back and got to try it. I've had my eyes on the Fast Eddie ever since I heard about this place because it was one of the most recommended sandwiches. The ambiance was alright.

I was a bit confused on where to order until I realized there were kiosks by the front counter. It would've been nice if one of the workers actually had said something to me. Anyway, onto the food. I got the Fast Eddie with fries and it was alright. The meat was bit dry. Yes there was the au jus to dip in and it helped quite a bit, but all the flavors just didn't mesh. It was basically an ordinary french dip. The fries were okay, but the jalapeno aioli was great! That made everything better, but not enough to save the sandwich. Not sure if I would come back, but I would definitely try a different sandwich. One that caters more to my taste buds

Located in the Seattle Center Armory, along with many other food vendors, Big Mike's Sandwich Company is serving up huge cheesesteaks, chopped cheese, and other East Coast-style subs. For $25, I picked up the cheesesteak and fries combo. Not a terrible price for the portion. Waited about 10-15 minutes for the sandwich to come out. You order on a tablet here, and then they call your name. It's a small storefront, so you really have to stay nearby to hear your name being called in the large space that is the Armory. Not much interaction with staff. Plenty of seating throughout the Armory, though shared with other restaurants. The food came out piping hot. Obviously, they cook everything fresh to order because the inside of the fries was like lava. The fries were thick-cut and seasoned to perfection. The sandwich was good. I thought some pieces of the steak were a bit tough, and the roll seemed a bit over-steamed or possibly stale. A good sandwich and decent portion, nonetheless. I'm still going 5 stars here. I think Big Mike's is a great choice if you want a hearty, meat-filled sandwich and you happen to be in the area. However, I think you could be happy with another dining option in the Armory, too. My kids loved the MOD Pizza nearby. While there isn't anything wildly unique going on at Big Mike's, they are still pushing out great sandwiches at reasonable prices with a no-frills ordering process.

We were especially disappointed that the Cubano was sold out, as it was one of the main reasons we stopped by. The only drawback was the price--at around $20 per sandwich, it felt a bit expensive for what you get, especially considering it was just a 6-inch sub, even though the quality was good. We visited during a FIFA World Cup match, so the line was quite long, but it moved steadily and efficiently. No complaints there. The atmosphere is casual and straightforward, with indoor seating only. Its downtown location near the stadiums makes it a convenient spot for a quick meal before or after an event. Overall, a good sandwich shop with quality food, though the pricing keeps it from being a must-visit. I'd still come back to finally try that Cubano.
