Food was delicious. Ordered the Vietnam and the gochujang honey sandwich. The sandwich was not spicy at all infact it's on the sweeter side. Service was good. The girls were pleasant. You order your food at the counter then sit down and it's brought to you. Definitely would come back . Parking was a bit of a pain. We parked on the street read more

This is a nice, casual waterfront coffee shop with a great atmosphere. It's located on the corner of the World Trade Center, so you don't get a direct water view, but the setting is still pleasant. The menu offers range from simple American breakfast to Asian fusion dishes. We had Vietnamese sandwiche(ban-mi) & egg/sausage gochewjang sandwich it was good. Service is good nothing standout, but perfectly adequate. If you're driving, be aware that parking can be difficult. I even saw a car being towed. Oh dang... One more thing, I see many cafe du mond(New Orleans) empty coffee cans display in the shop. Little confused.. is this coffee I'm drinking is cafe du mond coffee? Anyway coffee was good. read more

Cafe Opla is a great, little cafe right inside the World Trade Center Building in Seattle. I came in for coffee but was pleasantly surprised with their menu. Opla is a Vietnamese word derived from the French term for fried egg, "Oeufs au Plats". It's a walk up and order style of cafe. Plenty of seats for their size but I sure they fill up pretty quick. We popped in early and didn't have an issue. We went with the Opla Philippines - pork sausage, tocino, onion & cucumber vinaigrette, tomatoes, fried garlic, cilantro, served in a skillet; and the Avocado Sandwich - french bread, avocado spread, scrambled eggs, and tomatoes. Both great options for breakfast! I'll definitely be back the next time I'm visiting Seattle. read more

We came for Sunday brunch and there were luckily still some tables left. The ambiance is like your typical cafe and suited more for 2-4 people rather than a large group. You seat yourself and order at the counter. I couldn't really tell if it was self-bus or not since there were no signs but there was a cart with bins. Vietnamese Opla 4/5 It's a decent portion and good variety of food for the price. The meatballs were tender and the tomatoes were flavorful. The potatoes were cooked well and there was a heap of pate for the dish. I'm knocking off some points since the meats and carrots were a bit bland. I was expected pickled carrots since they're common in Vietnamese cuisines. Overall, I would be willing to come back another time to try other dishes since it feels like a unique restaurant but the food wasn't something I'd be raving about. read more

We were guests next door at the Seattle Waterfront and walked over as a party of 4 for breakfast before our cruise. As a group of first responders out on vacation, we expected basic hospitality, but instead received an incredibly cold greeting from the staff. We were then told we weren't allowed to sit at an available table for 4. I'm not sure why a group of 4 isn't permitted to use a 4-top table, but the rigid attitude and lack of respect completely soured the start of our trip. We won't be back. read more

Cafe Opla was a pleasant surprise for me! For a restaurant by the pier, I thought it might be overhyped, but the food and drinks were really good! I love the twist on a classic Vietnamese dish and how they offer different types of oplas inspired by different countries. We also got their Vietnamese inspired drink flight and it was a true hit. Every drink was so unique and not like any other Vietnamese inspired drink I've had before. They were all good and I'd definitely get it again. The restaurant was surprisingly smaller than I expected, as it's located as a cafe within the entrance of the building, but they do have some outdoor seating. Since it's also a location right on the pier, it gets pretty busy with a line almost out the door, but the line moves pretty quickly and they do their best to serve the food as quick as possible. Tables are first come first serve, so be on the lookout once you arrive! The prices are a tad on the pricier side, but I expected that given it's in a touristy area. If you're looking for a nice meal while exploring the pier, would definitely recommend giving cafe opla a try! read more

The entire time I was in the restaurant I had to remind myself we were by the waterfront which is why everything was so expensive... but for the very high prices I was expecting something a little more than what I received. The flavors in the opla are good. My group got the Philippines and Vietnam opla to share. I think you can't really go wrong with longanisa and tocino with fried eggs and a baguette. The meatball, pate, and lemongrass pork in the Vietnam were flavored really well. Wish both had more sauce to dip with and a bigger baguette. The baguette that came with the opla was so small we had to order more. The $25 price tag was very steep to me, considering the dish itself. I have had a lot better skillet dishes in other places that were cheaper. We also got the pho fries to share. It was $17 and the portion was tiny. The only thing that made it "pho" was the meatballs and the hoisin sauce they put on top. There was something about it overall that I did not really enjoy, but my boyfriend thought it was fine. I like that they had different kinds of opla but being so expensive, I don't think it's worth. Maybe if you're in the area but there's better Vietnamese food in Seattle. read more

We flew into Seattle today. When our hotel room wasn't ready we walked across the street, actually across the parking lot, to Cafe Opla for lunch. I knew immediately that I wanted a Bahn Mi sandwich. 0rder at the counter & they then bring the food to your table. The sandwich was so good! The bread was toasted perfectly. The chicken was tender & plentiful, and the toppings were fresh. It was a nice size which I wasn't able to finish. Snack for later tonight. The restaurant is small so I see where it could get crowded at times, though not on our visit. Service was friendly & fairly quick. Good start to our overnight stay in Seattle. 2025-30 read more

Went here on Saturday for a brunch. The parking was a bit tricky bc I parked in the public parking and walked down along the pier. I ordered Vietnamese Opla with Xiu Mai, my bf ordered Gochujang Breakfast Sandwich. I liked mine but wish the meatball had a bit more seasonings and a bit more sauce to dip the bread to. My bf loved his, he claimed it was "best sandwich he has ever had" We will come back for sure :) read more

Drinks came out pretty quickly. Food takes a bit longer of a wait time. 10-20 minutes ish. The place is pretty quiet, especially for a late monday morning. Food is very good. It sticks pretty close to traditional flavors and seasonings for the meat. Side veggies are nice for a refreshing brunch. read more

I'm giving this place bonus points for creative dishes. I really like the concept of these fusion skillets, but the food itself is nothing too crazy. My friend and I shared the Tofu Skillet and the Tofu Bahn Mi. My other friends shared the Vietnam Skillet and a Pork Bahn Mi. Everything still tasted good, but I have defiantly had better Bahn Mi before. There wasn't much flavor to the lemongrass tofu, but the texture was really good. The vibes inside were simple and cozy. It's good for a quick bite/catch up. They were also very quick to bring out our food and drinks. I ordered a warm matcha which was very good. My friends ordered a coffee with a sweet egg cream on top which was delicious. I would come back for the drinks. read more

The skillet was good! I appreciated that it could be made vegan too upon request. The drinks however are very very limited if you have a dairy allergy. My partner enjoyed his sandwich and drink. The service was ok. This spot is in kind of an unexpected little area but is near the cruise terminal and waterfront. read more

We Doordashed breakfast from this place. I almost want to give them more stars out of pity, but anyone considering spending their hard-earned money here should think twice. Things that were almost inedibly sweet and we didn't finish: waffles, mocha, and weirdly the breakfast sandwich. Breakfast sandwich was also too salty. I felt bad - the thing was super expensive and looked to be made of nice ingredients, but just... tasted bad. And I'm someone who usually goes for pretty salty stuff. I suppose if you're wanting your waffle to be a candy/cookie sort of experience it'd be alright. Not something you'd serve to a kid for breakfast though. Even our kids ate about half a waffle each cause they couldn't deal with the sugar. read more

The Vietnamese opla was okay, toppings were abundant! But the tofu skillet was too dry - needed more sauce for dipping! The egg coffee was sweet, so beware coffee purists! Service was so-so, needs improvement. My avocado opla was unavailable, and they offered no alternatives until I checked the menu again - all while standing 1st in line and kept other people waiting. One egg coffee arrived late when we were almost finished. read more

This place was one of our first searches for breakfast food and I see why! Fyi, this place is poppin' so expect a long line/long wait! This place is right across from the Cruise port, so all the people from the cruise came to this spot! Despite the hustlin' and busyness, customer service was great! I got the Viet bowl and Viet coffee. Love the coffee! Bowl was average. I recommend if you have not tried this place already. read more

I live about an hour from downtown Seattle and was meeting friends at a different popular well known Asian breakfast spot. We thought 10am would be early enough at the original spot, show up to about 20 people ahead of us and after 20 minutes of waiting (and hungry at this point) with no movement we settled on trying Cafe Opla (we wanted to go somewhere with unique brunch dishes, not your average, pancake, bacon, eggs place). We got there around 11am on a Sunday with only 2 other parties in the restaurant. This restaurant is casual, walk up counter to order and then food is brought to table. The menu is quite extensive, with their signature dish was the Oplas "Modern twist on Vietnamese breakfast" which is breakfast in a skillet. I was sharing /splitting with my friend and settled on the Hawaiian Opla and Gochujang Honey Breakfast Sandwich. The Hawaii Opla (spam, pulled pork, cucumbers, mac salad and rice) was delish, although it looked bigger in pictures. The skillet is probably 7 inches in diameter. The Gochujang sandwich was alright, it was honey forward and I couldn't really taste the Gochujang sauce. I also ordered the Iced Ube Vietnamese coffee, but other friend got this warmed and it looked a lot prettier with the design on top. I did find it a little pricey, but hey eating out is expensive these days. If you're in area looking for someplace quick, easy, yummy, unique dishes then I would recommend Cafe Opla. read more

Friendly staff and delicious breakfast. My wife has the American skillet and had a burrito.

Good concept and introduces the community to Vietnamese culture. Coffee was just ok. Quick concept and tables turn over quick.

Delightful experience! Order at the counter and then take a seat. There was a larger party in front of us (8ish people) and with it being a small restaurant we thought it would take a long time. It's didn't though! The kitchen did a great job! Iced white mocha was delicious and well balanced. The Hawaii Oplas was so good! I'd never had anything like this before and it was a great experience! The pulled pork was sweet (the menu says so) but when you mix it with other things on the plate it works! The two girls at the counter were both very nice and friendly. Thank you for a great breakfast! read more

We could not get reservations for breakfast at our hotel so my wife and I did a quick search and we found Café Opla. It was absolutely phenomenal and we got there right before the rush. My wife and I shared the Philippine Opla; the sausages and pickled vegetables went very well with the perfectly cooked eggs. The café is small and next to the Marriott. It is right across from the cruise ship port. read more

Nếp Dupe! If you never heard of Nếp, it's a Vietnamese restaurant in OC where they specialize in opla which is a Vietnamese skillet dish with some type of meat, vegetables and bread on the side to eat. And usually there's an egg in the middle with a bit of soy sauce. Cafe Opla is a lot better than Nếp since they offer a variety of different types of skillet dishes from different cultures. I was able to get the Vietnamese and Filipino dish. Which was both good and not too pricey for the amount you get. The Vietnamese one was definitely my favorite, but I just hope they added more of the pate (duck liver) since it is a speciality in the Vietnamese skillet. Overall, the service and location is good. I think they should get more recognition if they were so hidden in the hotel lobby. But I like how low-key it is, because I first discover it by driving by where it's located. Rating: 3/5 Vietnamese opla: not bad, could use more pate 3/5 Filipino opla: the sausage is good, there was only one single slice of tomato given. read more

Not really a "brunchy" brunch spot, more a grab-and-go style located in the lobby of an office building. Order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. The large plates seemed massively overpriced ($25 for an egg and meat plate for one!?) though, it's what they are known for. We really wanted the chicken and waffles but they were out of chicken tendies :( We opted instead for the waffle stack ($12) and Opla breakfast sandwich ($10). Also got a matcha latte ($5.75 for a medium) and vanilla latte. Waffles are the super sweet, crispy, dense liege waffles. The breakfast sandwich came on a light crispy baguette and had lots of fluffy egg, bacon, tomato and avocado. BF said vanilla latte was good. Matcha latte could have been blended better :( read more

This is a small cafe off of the lobby of the World Trade Center, with several bistro tables, a few bar seats, some patio tables, and that's it! Not really cozy, seems like a place where people grab a cup of coffee before heading on their cruise ship. Yes, this place is directly across the street from the cruise ship terminal and next to a Marriott hotel. Service was super friendly and relatively quick. You order at the counter and they will give you a number to put on your table (if you can snag one). I got the skillet which came out HOT. The Filipino Opla had all the right ingredients to make it a real filipino breakfast. The garlic rice was exceptionally good but I didn't realize there was a $2 upcharge for it. I also got the Vietnamese drink flight which was expensive! I should have asked before ordering it because the price was not listed on the menu. It was $28.50 for five 4-oz NON-alcoholic drinks. I admit all were good except the fish sauce latte was a little odd. At that price they should have been true cocktails instead of mock! Creme brulee latte was for my friend, and this was amazing. Super tasty, great crunch on the crust, and just the right sweetness. 4/5 stars because of cost. I spent almost $60 for breakfast here for just myself, excluding the creme brulee latte ($8) and tip. read more

Very quiet cafe with quick service on a Friday Afternoon! We ordered the pho poutine, Philippines opla with tater tots, a side egg, and an ube vietnamese coffee! The Vietnamese coffee came out quickly and first - very simple and for the price I would go to somewhere with more complexity for the drink. The side egg came next... way ahead of the other dishes which was awkward. The pho poutine was delicious but really mushy at the bottom and the opla was delicious all around!! The veggies in the opla were cooked really well with vinaigrette. The potatoes in both dishes seemed store bought frozen... The service was friendly and quick due to no one being in the store! Overall really cute spot on the waterfront (albiet overpriced) for a brunch :) read more

Exceptional breakfast sandwiches! Can't wait to try the Oplas skillet next time. Don't miss this great eatery!

tl;dr My party of 4 out-of-towners were happy to find Cafe Opla walking distance from the touristy Pike Place Market/waterfront. Large and varied portions for a reasonable price! The restaurant is pretty small, so try to snag a table with your party if you see one free up. Service was reasonable for the size of the restaurant. After ordering at the counter, they give you a stand with a number and later bring the food to you. Most of us got the skillets, but the sandwiches also looked good! read more

I came here with some friends for brunch. You order and the counter and then find a seat. When we got there it was pretty busy but after a few moments a table opened up and we were able to sit. We got the Vietnam Opla and the Hawaii Opla. They were pretty good, but seemed to be nothing special. The star was the Vietnamese inspired drink flight. It had a lot of fun drinks that had Vietnamese flavors very prominent. My favorite was surprisingly the fish sauce latte. It was the right combo of sweet and salty and was super unique. I highly recommend trying this drink flight. read more

Great breakfast spot in Seattle, a little on the small side, but some nice outdoor seating and an excellent menu. They had different themed breakfast skillets; a Vietnamese skillet, a Hawaiian, a Filipino skillet and many more. They also have great coffee and lattes. I ended up ordering myself a hot drip coffee, which was 100% and the Vietnamese breakfast skillet. We barely waited before all of the foo came out. My skillet was two fried eggs, grilled pork and vegetables and was excellent. read more

Known for their Oplas, which is a Vietnamese dish with egg, bread, meat, Cafe Opla has a variety of Vietnamese brunch dishes served in cast iron skillets, and tasty drinks! It doesn't have that cute brunch vibe that other brunch places have, but the food is decent, and a little different than your typical eggs, bacon, potatoes. They also had a Vietnamese inspired drink flight (non alcoholic) which I really recommend. This was super fun (a bit pricey) but also tasted good. I probably wouldn't come again just for the Opla or the vibe... but the drink flight is definitely worth experiencing! read more

Cafe Opla is one of my favorite places to eat when visiting Seattle! Came here for an afternoon lunch, and it wasn't too busy. We ordered at the counter, then seated ourselves. Service was a little slow, but we didn't mind the wait. I ordered the Opla Philippines. The cast iron skillets are about $13 for the regular. It came with pork sausages, meatballs, tomatoes, fried garlic, cilantro, and two friend eggs! You also get a choice of rice or bread. I can see why some people are upset with the protein size and the cost of the meal. It was perfect for me because I don't have a big appetite, however my meal was delicious! They also serve coffee here. I ordered a latte & it was perfect for the chilly weather. Good balance in espresso and milk, the perfect temperature and foam, I have no complaints! read more
