This place is right across the street from the Marriott waterfront, it's not usually open on Mondays and Tuesdays, but they're starting to open it. The breakfast was about $32 for two people. The coffee is excellent, the service is excellent, and the food is excellent. Will definitely be coming back for the rest of our trip. read more

Went in a few days ago, the place was bustling and the service was great. Today stopped by there were maybe three tables occupied. A young guy came to the front, mumbled something I couldn't understand, showed me to the table. Brought me 1/2 glass of tepid water, dropped a menu and left. Saw him shuffling slowly around the place, cleaned off a table, straightened a few other tables and passed by me about six times. Not a word. Finally after 15 minutes of sitting there, I got up and left. I know they have an order counter but I was served quickly and politely the time before. I don't see any reason today. The guy shouldn't be a waiter. Bad customer service skills. I know it's tough right now with service people but this place was not slammed today. Won't return. read more

It's not really a brunch place, more like a small cafe down at the embassy corner. Food is good though, various hot skillet dishes with featured flavors from different countries. Coffee choices are good too, ranges from your normal latte to nitro cold brew. Food portion is smaller usual but decent enough so you don't feel over stuffed read more

Came here with my friends and then again with my girlfriend the next day. Both times I was extremely satisfied with the food and service. I had the Opla Phillipines on the first go and it was delicious. The meatballs were surprisingly juicy and the longanisa was on point. On the second go, I had the Opla Korea. The tofu was awesome! It had so much flavor to it you wouldn't believe that it was tofu until you asked. There was also kalbi, which was cooked to perfection. It could have used a tiny bit more marinating, but that's because I like my kbbq. Both dishes came with beautifully executed sunny side up eggs and a Vietnamese baguette accompanied with a chimichurri sauce that was to die for. The service was quick and the staff was friendly and very helpful! Prices were decent for the area and the place was clean and tidy. No complaints there. I would recommend this cafe to anyone visiting the waterfront and Pike Place. read more

Cafe Opla - Opla Phillipines with Vietnamese baguette and a chimichurri sauce - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

My husband and I stumbled upon this delightful gem after being "lined out" from all the places around Pike Place Market. The food was delicious--Vietnamese egg and meat dishes cooked in an iron skillet--heaven for your tastebuds. The service was also excellent given how busy it was on a Saturday morning. If you want to have tasty, good food to sustain all the walking you'll do, look no further than Cafe Opla. read more

Great flavors, crisp & fluffy viet mini baguette. We had the viet & Hawaiian opla skillets. read more

Food was delicious! We had the Vietnam and Hawaii Opla. The fried egg was cooked to perfection - I drizzled it with their special sauce, bomb! Vietnamese ice coffee was good. Staff was friendly and welcoming. We will be coming back for sure! read more

So simple and delicious! The gals at the counter greeted us right as we walked in. There were so many good options I wasn't sure which skillet to try. The gal at the register immediately offered some suggestions listing the most popular dishes. We went for the "Opla Phillipines" and the "Opla Hawaii." Both awesome choices. The Opla Hawaii had spam, pulled pork, furikake and fried shallots. The Opla Phillipines has Filipino pork sausage (yum!), meatballs, tomatoes and fried garlic. The mini is the perfect size for a midday snack. Ps, make sure to get some chimi sauce to dip your baguette in. Money! Service and food, two thumbs up! read more

Nice inventive breakfast option right next to our hotel (Marriott waterfront). We love food from all cultures so enjoyed trying the different skillets. We would have loved the option to create your own skillet with their options but understand that does put a strain on the kitchen. We enjoyed our selections - Hawaii and Philippines. Cafe Latte nice too. read more

If you're looking for a hearty breakfast, this isn't the place. I opted for the Opla Philippines version. Although my eggs were cooked just right and the Vietnamese meatballs were absolutely delicious, the sausages were a disappointment. Tasted like frozen Filipino sausages you can get from Seafood City. The menu stated it came with fried garlic but sadly it seemed it was the dried fried garlic you can get in a jar at any Asian supermarket. Also, I was only given a VERY small amount of the garlic - perhaps a small sprinkle? The menu also states I can choose my own sauce for my baguette but the girl who took my order never stated which options I had. I also ordered "Vietnamese coffee" that tasted nothing like traditional Vietnamese coffee. Overall, this place was a complete letdown. read more

Home. That's what this place reminds me of. Home. I love this place because I grew up eating op la! My mom would make sunnyside up eggs, with some soy sauce, some spam or beef and a side of rice and baguette. And then when I went to Vietnam, that's all I had there too! I love that there are different variations of this, Hawaiian, Korean, Filipino, China, Japan.. the list goes on. And of course, a staple, the Vietnamese one! I'd love to come back and try a different one each time, but you really can't go wrong with any of them. They all come with a side sauce, and I'd say I like the chimichurri sauce the most because it's a refreshing flavor on top of the heavy bread. read more

I really love the concept and execution of this cool little gem. They manage to relay the essence of my childhood favorite Vietnamese breakfast/brunch all awhile providing variety and creativity of Asian American culture. You can't go wrong with a bit of runny egg and crusty Vietnamese baguette! read more

Chicken Bahn Mi with pate and a latte as my order. Food, drink and service are all wonderful as well as the staff! Thank you!

I ordered Japanese opla Pros：nice skillet pan-fried eggs，the white is crispy and the yolk is bouncy. One of the best I've ever had. Cons：Everything beside the egg is disappointing. The "chicken katsu" is way overcooked. It's like chewing a flavorless and hard gum. Even the knife cannot cut it! The cucumber sunomono is flavorless. Maybe they should have served fresh cucumber instead. The fish cake is dry and bland. Overall: My advice is that if they don't have the expertise to serve different cuisines, then don't do it. Stay to the English version with fried eggs, meatballs and sausages. They need a real cook to teach them how to cook Japanese food, especially on skillet. read more

I've been there twice since they opened on Friday, November 10th, 2017 and I'm definitely coming back. Staffs were really friendly and always makes sure you're satisfied. The food they serve here are what we usually cook at home, never would anyone think that a simple meal that can be made at home would be served in a cafe right in the heart of Seattle. The employees also makes you feel right at home! Cafe Opla since day1 of opening and will be with them each step of the way! Oh and they do coffee art I got opla Philippines, spicy sate sauce (each opla dish comes with 1 choice out of 4 sauces, 1 or 2 sunny side up eggs, and 1 small baguette), side of pate, and a cup of vanilla latte. Opla dish sauces: chimi, spicy sate, teriyaki, or sweet tomatoes. read more

Visited Cafe Opla for brunch with a friend and we had such a fantastic experience! I'm from Hawai'i, so of course I had to order the Opla Hawaii, which had spam, pulled pork, furikake, and fried shallots in this hella cute frying pan which dually acted as a plate (I adore that kinda stuff)... it was so delicious, kudos to them for creating a dish that reminded me of home :) Regarding service, our server Anya was so accommodating and kind to us, quick with any questions or any needs we had as well. The owner was equally as kind and alongside Anya's service, I felt right at home at Cafe Opla. Great experience! read more

This place is a little cute small cafe that was unexpectedly at the trade center. My girlfriend said that her cousin went to this brunch place and I was expecting a normal restaurant, but nope it was a small cafe and I wasn't expecting it to sell legit food. I ordered the Hawaiian option and was expecting it to come out like L&L in a box or something, but I was surprised that it came in a iron casket. I was amazed at how well the food was made and how the service was considering it was just a cafe! This place is a little gem read more

This place is very underwhelming. I was expecting a sizzling pan coming out and my food being actually hot, but it was not. The food was room temp and lack a lot of flavor. The bread took a while to be brought out and it wasn't toasted at all. I ordered the opla Vietnam and my best friend order the korean opla. I actually enjoyed the meatball that came with the Vietnam opla but everything else was meh. The tofu that was in korean opla was really hard and dry. It tasted really old. We were both disappointed and had higher expectations. Cute concept but wouldn't go back. read more

Great place for breakfast in the Pike Place area. Very creative breakfast dishes cooked in small cast iron skillets, and great coffee, too. Plenty of tables in a spacious setting. The person who helped us, Linda, was friendly and extremely helpful. I'll be back, certainly. Highly recommended. read more

Cafe opla is just meh. I have been here three times and the meals are not bad. But they are expensive for what they are--really basic and underwhelming--like I could make it at home myself for far less money. I will give it to them, their ingredients are fresh and the bread is really good. But it's literally, bread meat egg on a skillet with little else involved. I'm torn between two and three stars for this place because two of the three times I came in here, the cruise ship was here and both times this place was absolute chaos. Maybe this is an unfair expectation but It feels like they should be more prepared for the ships when they come in. They were out of everything, we had to go to the counter five times to ask where our meal was, which they ended up telling us they were out after we had been waiting for forty min and had already paid. There were no water cups, no silverware, no water, and when we asked we were told something along the lines of sorry we don't know what to tell ya, do you see what's happening in here right now." When we finally did get our food, it was missing meat and when we went to the counter they said they would get some out to us and after 30 min, we just left. My suggestion would be to figure out the cruise schedule and staff the food and restaurant accordingly on those days. Because it was a really disappointing experience twice. I'd say 1 star if the cruise ship is there and 3.5 stars otherwise. read more

First of all, this place is in an interesting location. It's a little bit difficult to find if you're coming from downtown, but it's basically across from the waterfront area. You order at the counter and then find yourself a seat. I ordered the opla Philippines and my fiancé ordered the opla American. Mine came with longanisa but they ran out of meatballs, so I asked for short ribs instead. The American came with sausage and bacon. Both came with eggs and a baguette. I thought it was good but I didn't find it amazing. It was super simple. The concept is cool, because they have different skillets from different countries, such as China, Japan, Korea, etc. The portion was small, and we still felt hungry afterwards. I feel like it's something that's so easy to make by yourself. I'm not a fan, but it's worth trying. read more

Tried Café Opla recently on my way to a meeting and loved it. The food is a twist on Vietnamese street food served on hot iron skillets with a sunny side egg called an Opla. The menu represents a world of flavors like Vietnamese sausage, Korean short ribs, eggs, bacon, chicken katsu, lemon grass chicken, lemon grass pork and Spam. The prices are great for the area. The folks behind this concept also brew a nice coffee from Stumptown beans with a nitro cold brew on tap. Friendly staff, quick service, and fresh dishes. Will be back again. read more

Bright, tasty flavors in a casual place I wouldn't have expected good food at (right next to the cruise ship landings). For $5-$12 a bite, good value too. Remember to ask for the code to the restroom. It's a long way to walk, only to find out you need a code to get into it! read more

Nice plating. Got the Korean opla. Kimchi was good. Tofu was dry & no flavor. Ribs had no flavor, only tasted beefy. Overall, it needed more seasoning on everything. read more

Stayed at the Marriott and were told when we checked in about a great breakfast and lunch place next door. We had the egg avocado opla with 2 eggs. It was terrific all 3 days we had it. One of us had rice and the other a roll. It was great with either their chimi sauce or srirach. Great Little cafe! read more

Great little cafe with good food and drink options. Their oplas and baguettes are great. Our group ordered the Korean Opla with chimmichurri, an avocado baguette, and an Avocado Opla and everything was great. Price is $5-8 per meal. read more

Great coffee and egg sandwich. Fresh Baguette. Quiet place to eat while waiting to embark on Alaska cruise!

I couldn't wait to try the Opla Philippines dish and was very much let down. I was presented with 2 sunny side eggs, some diced tomatoes, 2 meatballs, cut-up sausages, and a 1/4 baguette. The sausage tasted like chorizo and hence tasty. The tomatoes were okay. I wasn't sure what to make of the meatballs; they tasted more Vietnamese. Also, Filipino breakfast typically comes with steamed rice so to have bread instead was inauthentic. The Korean counterpart was more authentic; I liked the tofu but found the ribs hard to chew. Not coming back. read more

I was looking forward to this place because of the reviews and I loved how it was plated on the cast iron, but it was pretty underwhelming tbh. The amount of food they give you is pretty limited and the quality was just normal. We got the Opla Vietnam and the Opla Hawaii. We slightly regretted going here because the food didn't taste like anything out of the ordinary and Seattle has so many other good places to eat. read more

Food tasted ok...but my review is about the service. This guy was horrible. So VERY rude and totally rushing us to order and there was only ONE person behind us. Then there was no forks, and he told me to wait. So I waited. And I waited. Finally went back up to the counter and he told me to wait again. The nice customer that was next told him, why don't you get her her fork. He rolled his eyes, went to get the fork, he came back - no eye contact and slammed it down behind the counter. And walked away. What the heck?! So I literally had to reach over and grab it. Who does that to customers?! I will never go here again, nor will I ever recommend it to anyone. Absolutely horrible. read more

Oh, my goodness, this was such a yummy brunch - and SO filling. My dad always used to make "banh mi opla" for us before school, basically a runny egg sandwich and I LOVE that they ran with the egg idea to make such an extensive brunch menu; very cute that the menu takes you around the world as it is in the World Trade Center Seattle. I ordered my Opla Vietnam with extra paté out of excitement... and my boyfriend ended up having finish a third of my plate! So much food, so fun, can't wait to come back! Only complaint... they make their vietnamese coffee with the screw in the tin too loose, so it comes out closer to American style drip coffee, not as strong as Euro/Viet-style espresso I was used to. read more

This place reminds me having breakfast in my country (Opla and Cafe). We came to here since they were new. We're excited Cafe Opla located in Seattle. We usually get Opla Vietnam - the best one for us. The owner is super friendly. She always remembered us whenever we came here. read more

Ate the Korean Opla! I love the skillet! It Kept the food warm when arriving to my table. The staff is very friendly, owner came over and served water and talked a little. ( Super friendly ) Very clean inside. Witch I like! Highly recommend! read more

Cafe Opla Cafe Opla was the first thing we ate after arriving in Seattle. We arrived around 11:30am-12pm and got in line to order. Its a family run business and you can really feel the warmth from how they interact with you and each other. Customer Service (4/5) There is definitely lots to choose from on their menu, from different types of coffee to banh mi to what they're most known for the opla. They were very friendly and gave great recommendations when I couldn't decide what to order. Once we ordered and sat down the coffee we ordered came pretty fast and water came shortly afterwards. Although, the cups that were used were very much kid sized. That being said though they did come and refill our cups quite often. We waited about 10-15 minutes for two oplas, one Korean and and one Philippines . The server gave us fair warning as well that the cast iron plates would be hot and to be very careful (I still ended up tapping my hand on it accidentally in the middle of my meal lol) Food/taste (4/5) We got the Korean Opla and the Philippines Opla. First impressions was that they both looked amazing followed shortly with a bit of disappointment. While the food did look stunning especially with it still crackling on the cast iron, it didn't seem like there was a lot of food within the plate. However, taste wise it was very delicious. I would say the best part about the Philippines Opla was the meatball. It was very tasty and cut like butter with very minimal effort. It definitely reminded me of something my parents used to make for me as a kid. The filipino sausage was delicious as well although I would've preferred that they didn't cut it up as the juices would be wasted on the plate. I had a few bites of the Korean Opla and it was very delicious and had no complaints. The ribs were good and so was the kimchi. Whatever dipping sauce that they had for the bread was amazing as well. I didn't really want the bread initially but the bread and sauce paired excellently together. The only thing that I would've liked to see on the oplas would be some rice on the bottom. I think it would be excellent and a little bit more filling if there was a bit of rice layered on the bottom of the pan or just a small portion on the side. Overall thoughts/recommendations I think that Cafe Opla is a great spot for a brunch or a great place for a quick bite to eat. If you're looking for something light and brunch themed this would be a great spot to check out. There was a bunch of different drink and food options with friendly staff. The only improvement based off of my experience there would be to increase the portion sizes. Definitely would be a great spot to hang out with friends and small families. I wouldn't recommend bringing in a huge group just because it would be difficult for everyone to comfortably sit with one another. read more
