This little cafe is situated next to the world trade center and was close to the hotel I was staying at. I had the Opla Hawaii, and it was amazing! A delightful mix of sweet and tangy pulled pork, crisp spam, over-easy eggs, and a garnish of fresh cucumbers with a warm baguette and infused olive oil. The service was fast and the staff were friendly. I also had a chai (not pictured), and it was sweet and delicious, and tasted like vanilla chai. read more

Had the Hawaii opla and Vietnamese ice coffee. The food was delicious. Rice was fire, eggs cooked perfectly, and the spam was made just right. The hospitality/service from staff was very welcoming and we felt like we were at home there. read more

Great place with super friendly and attentive service. We ordered the Viet Opla and American Skillet and both rice and bread. They have those super crispy with airy inside Vietnamese French rolls. For drinks, the Viet ice coffee and hot chocolate. The Viet coffee was solid, reminded me of the coffee my grandfather used to make with the drip phin where you slowly stir in the condense milk versus the premade Lee Sandwiches-style mix. Prices were on par with other breakfast places with most entrees are $11 to 16 range and sandwiches are under $10. I felt that I got my money's worth. My son, who is a picky eater, demolished his skillet. He wanted to go there again for breakfast again. read more

Great place for lunch! This place is located in a weird area by the water, but other than that everything about this place is pretty great! I love the simple aesthetics of the interior, and how all of the dishes come out on the skillets (super insta friendly). The food is can definitely be categorized as comfort food, as everything tastes super homey (which is not a bad thing!) If you are craving some different asian cuisines this place is great for that as they offer a bunch of different varieties of food. The bread that they provide are perfectly crunchy and soak up all the food from the skillet super well. I also love pate, so the fact that I can order extra pate is a big plus for me. Overall, a really good spot for lunch as everything about this place is super minimal and reminds you of food you would make for yourself at home! read more

Due to the yelp reviews, I made my wife walk about a mile to get here. It was a typical December day in Seattle: grey and damp. Thankfully the other reviews were right: this place is pretty great. Wife got the Korean opla and I had the Vietnamese. We were both very happy with our selections. The portion size was also just right; it was a filling breakfast. Customer service was friendly and fast. I definitely recommend if you're within walking distance. Great spot to grab a quick, but filling breakfast. read more

Stopped for coffee and decided to share the avocado toast with hubby. I'm so glad we tried the avocado toast it was really good with a slightly sweet thin layer of jelly (or similar) under the avocado and I loved it! Good coffee, quick service. read more

If you live in Seattle and you haven't been here before, you're really missing out. This place is probably one of my top choice for breakfast or brunch, I would always go here for the food. The portions just right and the coffee is actually really really good. read more

Back at it again with the Coffee, beverages, the Oplas and few new food menu items. Excited for the pressed sandwiches; the BBQ pulled pork and "Tabby" "Turkey" sandwiches. Nicely pressed and crispy, just how I like it. Pulled pork was tender and perfect amount of sauce. Moving on to the crab bake on bread, yumm! You either make a sandwich yourself or just simply dipping your bread into the crab bake and that bread though... so soft in the inside and crispy shell. Then the garlic rice along with longanisa (my fave, and I would definitely go for spicy longanisa option if they have it) and bbq pork, wish they added more garlic but that's just my preference, I'm sure you can customize your order for as little as more or less garlic sprinkles on your rice depending on your taste. So far, I like the new items; BBQ pulled pork pressed sandwich, crab bake and bread and cua cava drink. This pandemic hasn't been kind to some of our favorite food spots, please help support your local restaurant by checking out Cafe Opla's new menu. Not looking for a meal? Try their drip coffee if you would like to sit and sip and their soda cua cava! I personally could drink that all day walking around the pier :) read more

The food is tasty, but definitely overpriced. All the pictures look incredible but are taken from above, which gives the illusion of more food. It's a pretty thin layer of food at the bottom of the skillet. It would have been more worth it for me if the large cost as much as the mini, and the mini cost less. I guess they can upcharge since they're on the waterfront next to a bunch of hotels. I got a vanilla latte and an Opla Korea, and my boyfriend got an Opla Hawaii with a side of rice which cost $2. We both got a side of pate which was $2 each. I really liked the flavor of the short ribs! My boyfriend liked his pork and spam too. I tried the spam and thought it was okay. His side of rice was the tiniest scoop! We were expecting a bowl of rice. Even expensive sushi places charge you $2 for a decent bowl of white rice. The pate was pretty good and rich so I suppose that was worth the $2 but I wouldn't say it was a "must have" like some of the reviews say. The vanilla latte was delicious and priced about the same as other coffee shops ($4). It's also a convenient location because it's right on the water, close to Pike Place, the sculpture garden, the waterfront, etc. Stop in for a coffee and a walk around the area! read more

The staff is very nice, the food proportions were a little bit small for my preference but I wasn't leaving hungry (dad). For me, the food proportions were perfect, I have a little bit of the food left but that's ok, I got the Hawaii and it came with two sunny side up eggs, diced cucumbers, pulled pork, macaroni salad, and cooked spam. It also has a choice of tater tots, rice (regular or garlic fried rice) and I forgot the other one (Daughter). Me and my dad both gave this café 5 stars over all very nice staff great food and good drinks. 5 very satisfied. read more

Stopped in here for a quick bite before heading off to see the town. The restaurant is kind of in a lobby of a building, very casual and low-key. Friendly staff! We had the Korean opla and the avocado tomato opla. The veggie one was a very small portion, perhaps on me for not realizing but there was only one size available to order. The Korean opla had deliciously flavored short ribs and tofu. Opla: Make a veg dish that includes that magical tofu, please!!!!!!! The dishes came with yummy baguettes and a seasoned oil. I'd love to try to replicate that oil sometime at home; savory, sweet, and good on everything, including the oplas. tl;dr: The dishes are very well flavored but the prices were a bit high for the quantity you get. read more

Post Covid review! Very happy with my experience today at Cafe Opla! Servers gladly set up a table outside for us so we could dine safely. GREAT coffee, delicious food, and friendly staff! Plus a refreshingly different breakfast menu, we got rice bowls and big breakfast sandwich - both very tasty. The honey lavender latte was another highlight. Back soon! read more

This is a great spot for a quick brunch or snack before hopping on a cruise ship, as it's right across from the cruise terminal. That being said, don't go on Saturday or Sunday mornings if you're not looking for a crowd! The service is great, the the food tasted great. We had an avocado skillet, the avocados were plentiful and the egg tasted great. My husband really enjoyed the bread that came with it as well! read more

It was a Sunny Sunday in Seattle. If you are in food business you HAVE to be prepared with your best for your customers; especially if its sunny in Seattle. We checked in at 11:00 am and the first thing they said was they were out of bread already. They substituted bread with rice. The rice was stiff; overcooked I'd say. I ordered Opla Vietnam substituting meat balls with Grilled Chicken. Because Grilled Chicken was on their special menu for the day. Friend ordered Opla Korea. Both arrived pretty quick. It looked good (fairly decent but not super attractive). The meat lacked succulence, it was dry and chewy !! Fried eggs were also a little over cooked and the rice was, as mentioned above, lacked luster and smoothness. The cast iron skillet that the food was served in had black peels (from previous cooks I suppose) coming out. I have had better brunch for sure. read more

The owner took really good care of us! She was so sweet and helpful when we visited a couple months before the pandemic, around Jan 2020. We are back in Seattle and soooooooo sad that they're temporarily closed...but we get it, covid is real. Can't wait to eat their delicious food again, hopefully soon! read more

Ordered the breakfast sandwiches, all I can say is meh. Stale rolls, no seasoning, underwhelming, didn't finish them, not worth the calories. Coffee was ok which is why it got 2 stars. read more

Such a unique Asian-American fusion cafe! They have options for Vietnamese, Filipino, Korean, or Hawaiian twists on their menu. It's a pretty small cafe, and with COVID-19 there are only 5 tables available. Their iced Vietnamese coffee was perfection! I love my Viet coffee extra sweet with the condensed milk. We got served by a friendly staff and she was awesome. Always made sure we were satisfied. I ordered the Hawaiian Opla and it may look small with not too many items on it but it made me really full. It's a good balance of sweet and savory. Every Opla order comes with a choice of rice or French bread but I recommend just getting the bread with it because it's amazing with the pate spread that comes with it, and you can also make your own little banh mi. read more

Cafe Opla offers variety of skillet-made entrees from all regions: Korea, Vietnam, Hawaii, Philippines, etc. I came on a Sunday afternoon to grab lunch with my sister. We were very fortunate to find parking on the street! With all of the construction on Alaskan Way and amounts of tourists, it can be hard to self drive and park here. My sister ordered the Vietnamese skillet as I got the Korean one. They're both accompanied with small toasted banh mi- french baguettes and choice of side. The gal that took our order just assumed we wanted the chimi sauce but I asked for the spicy saute one instead. We also ordered a vanilla latte (Stumptown) and a vietnamese iced coffee. The iced coffee was delicious, the vanilla latte was very sweet. There's two stations providing water. One station on the left offers coffee lids, straws, hot sauce and additional condiments. When our entrees came out, my regular size seemed small like 1.5 the size of my fist... 2 small pieces of short ribs, 1 egg, 2 pieces of kimchi and 2 small pieces of tofu and maybe 5 slices of cucumber put in quarters. The baguettes came out rock hard so we asked a gentleman that worked there if we can get it not overly toasted. He apologized and we felt very bad for even asking but seriously it was ROCK HARD. Usually sunny side eyes (op la) is made with a crispy outside and ours weren't crispy. I don't think the chef really put much effort into our meal that day. I enjoyed the small amount of food I got and would recommend for those with an appetite to get the large size which is $2 more than the regular $8.50. My sister enjoyed her grilled pork but not the meatballs because it had a funky smell. They also forgot her pate. Again, we had to bother the guy working there to get her the pate. I think Cafe Opla is overpriced for what is offered and if you include the cost of parking or commuting here I don't think it's worth it, in my opinion. There was so many components forgotten but at least the guy that works there was very nice & came to check up on us after the whole ordeal. We sat at a table where there was still dishes and other peoples's mugs that they left behind.. Nobody cleaned it up no matter how many times the two staff members went back and forth. I asked if it was a self-buss system and the gal responded yes. So after we finished our lunch we placed our utensils and dishes in the bins near the entrance. I don't think I will be returning but it was worth a shot. read more

Stopped for a sip and a nosh while on a morning bike ride, Cafe Opla is a nice surprise! They serve very fresh food, American breakfasts with a Vietnamese twist & good coffee served properly in a porcelain cup, if you're not running out with to go items. I ordered a French baguette avocado, scrambled egg and tomato sandwich and was surprised how perfectly fluffy the eggs were, and how light and authentic the baguette tasted. Bargain prices, too, right on the Seattle waterfront across the street from Pier 66. read more

Came here for a Sunday brunch. Arrived at around 10:30am. Not crowded at all. We went to the counter to order a mini Opla Vietnam and a regular Opla Philippines. They are both served with a 4-inch baguette and a sauce. I got the default chimichurri sauce, and my boyfriend got a hot sauce as they ran out of the default. The skillets came not long after we seated ourselves. My mini Opla Vietnam had one sunny side up, one meatball, Vietnamese style grilled pork and pickle carrots. My boyfriend's regular Opla Philippines has two sunny side ups, two meatballs, Philippines pork sausage, diced tomatoes and fried garlic. I loved my Opla! The grilled pork was extremely flavorful. The sunny side up was pan fried right to the point - crispy and bouncing at the same time. The meatball was the best! So delicious! My boyfriend loved the meatballs too. But he though the Philippines pork sausages were just okay (which I agree, average quality, not sure about its authenticity). My mini Opla was $8.75 pre-tax and the regular one was $10.95 pre-tax. The place was more self-served but they did serve the food to our table and refilled our water. Overall a nice quiet little cafe with great fusion food! Will come back :) read more

Me and my friends came to Seattle for a concert, and were excited to walk around the waterfront and have breakfast the next morning. Well let's just say I was extremely disappointed. First of all Extremely unclean, the clear fake glass in front of the register was filthy, the can that the silverware was in was filled with used napkins like people were stuffing them in their. The customer service was horrible, the employees were not mean but were acting like they didn't know what they were doing. I am a barista and my friend ordered a latte and got a cappuccino. So that made me chuckle but made me wonder if they even train their employees? I paid 20$ for a small skillet of food, when my friend got a sandwich that was cheaper and way bigger, but it was cold. It is extremely small with little to no seating. Very overpriced for the quality and I am very disappointed. read more

Brilliant little spot with very nice staff and owner. They set up a table for us outside since I had a dog, and also did not want to stay inside. The food is delicious, with a Vietnamese Hawaiian, Asian fusion. Think comfort type foods will delicious, lunch meats. It is a great little stop across Anthony's , which does not welcome dogs (even outside), and are open at a different time. Being on Alaskan Way, you are near the rail tracks. It can get mildly windy or chilly outside. Bring a jacket and enjoy the water views. read more

I love this place! I was in Seattle for 4 days to attend a conference and I probably came here about 6 times. It's a unique cafe that serves breakfast food, coffee, tea, and banh mi sandwiches. I tried the: - Spam breakfast sandwich - Filipino opla - Iced caramel macchiato (although it was more of a latte) - Mango tea - Bacon breakfast sandwich The verdict: it's delicious! I loved the breakfast sandwiches. They are served on small baguette rolls with scrambled eggs and what I think is Maggi seasoning. The Filipino opla was pretty good. It's also served with a baguette. I wasn't a huge fan of the mango tea but everything else was good. I'd probably come here on a weekly basis if I lived in Seattle. By the way, the service was excellent! read more
