Was hungry and didn't know where to order from and stumbled on Cafe Pogacha. Tried the avacado toast, and honestly wasn't justified for the price. It was literally half an avacado on a slice of bread. But overall tasted good, so its okay. I also got a chocolate cookie! read more

We have always loved the Pogacha in Issaquah but now they're closed along with their Bellevue locations so we were so excited to see they opened on Mercer Island! We went in during their first Sunday brunch & had a great experience! The atmosphere was really nice as they totally remodeled a space that was a BBQ restaurant with a large patio that will be great when the weather gets nicer. Mario was our server & took excellent care of us. He even let us order fish & chips that weren't available for 3 more hours & what an incredible choice that was! Nice thick juicy pieces of fish with a light crispy panko breading- yum! The thick cut fries were delicious as well & topped off with pineapple & grapes- beautiful presentation & all of it was amazing! We also ordered the Pogacha burger that's the perfect blend of lamb & beef & we added duck bacon on top of the cheese- so delicious! The bun was unique as it was a nice & thin signature "Pogacha" bread that was so perfect for the burger. All four of us absolutely loved our meals! We can't wait to go back for their dinner menu- I have always loved their homemade portobello mushroom ravioli & dobar chicken- Pagocha has never disappointed us & this Mercer Island location is fantastic! read more

Overall, Café Pogacha is quite average. It is within walking distance to our place, and we are attempting to try a new coffee shop (within walking distance from us) every week or so. I ordered my usual hot drink: almond milk latte with sugar-free vanilla syrup and my boyfriend ordered a hot caramel latte with regular milk. Our coffees were pretty good, but not at all exceptional. The location itself is not very ideal and, to be honest, it does not give me the proper coffee shop ~vibes~ I would want. I can't really see myself ever wanting to dine in, as it is not super cozy or well decorated. It honestly reminds me of a convenience store or mini gas station. The girls working were friendly and our coffees were ready within 2 minutes. There was nothing bad about our experience, I just can't see myself choosing to come here over the other places in the area. read more

Café Pogacha is a casual restaurant located in the lobby of the Puget Sound Energy Building in downtown Bellevue. Café Pogacha caters to the worker crowd as it is open on weekdays for breakfast and lunch. Café Pogacha seems to serve food that is a cut above other similar establishments in downtown. The cafe offers standard breakfast fare including pastries as well, but also breakfast sandwiches. I have had their breakfast pastries as my old workplace used to order catered pastries often from Café Pogacha. Their pastries are great. I especially like their muffins and bagels. Their lunch offerings usually consists of stews, soups, salads and sandwiches. Their pizzas are awesome and distinct from what you would find at a regular pizza joint. The pizzas are made with Croatian flatbread which is slightly different from a pita that is topped off with your selected toppings. In particular, I like to order takeout orders of the double artichoke, feta, red onion & garlic oil pizza or the pepperoni & gargonzola pizza (both $5.45). They make it when you order it so allow about 5-10 minutes waiting time for it to come through. I find the pizza preferable here to CPK as it is quicker, better and cheaper. The soups are also a good bet. They offer two soups, with one option being vegetarian. Soup also comes with a piece of flatbread. Café Pogacha has a dine-in area, as well as some tables outside its space and outside the building for dining. There is also a waterfall in the adjacent yard outside that makes for a plesant dining experience. All told, Café Pogacha is a great option when eating in downtown Bellevue. There are many similar choices out there, but I found Café Pogacha to be a cut above the rest. read more

Located in the PSE Building in Bellevue, Cafe Pogacha is nothing fancy. I was disappointed with the overall ambiance and feeling of being welcomed at the location. If you order a coffee drink, the area next to the espresso machine where you stand to pick it up (the hand off area) is cluttered with a register/ order taking system that is in the direction as if you were the employee. This creates an environment that screams you are not welcome to stand here to wait for your drink, this is an employee only area, yet this is the only logical place to stand and wait. If you want ice in your drink, the cashier/ barista actually has to walk across the store to the Coca Cola machine to get ice. The drink itself had a decent coffee flavor; however, the carmel sauce used had a bit of a gritty texture to it. Not sure if this was part of the recipe or if it may have been old. Save yourself the hassle and walk to the Expedia building to Cafe Lardo. read more

Located in the PSE (Puget Sound Energy) building, this is a quick lunch cafe that is a cut about the rest. It even has a touch of a sit-down restaurant, as the staff will bring your meal to your table if you're eating in. And if you're in a hurry, this is like restaurant food at cafe speeds. I think that for quick, delicious Italian and Italian-ish lunch offerings, this is your best bet in Bellevue. They have a set of set menu choices, as well as daily specials posted on the blackboard by the cashier. Today I got the chicken pesto fettuccine with sun dried tomatoes. Yum! read more

I think most people go here for the convenience. Service and food quality use to be good, now food is tasteless, overprice and not of good quality. Getting new coffee beans and Machine was a good idea however, training their staff to make good coffee is equally important. Looking at how they operate the facility does raise hygiene questions. Food scraps on the floor, same cloth used to wipe coffee spills is used to wipe the tables. Has the health department seeing this yet ? It's time for a change pogacha, you are in downtown Bellevue and providing average service is unacceptable. read more

A decent lunch experience. I had the Chicken dijon pasta which was just a bit overwhelming and a tad too creamy. The sauce was heavy and overpowered everything else in it. Was affordable ($10) and relatively quick so might stop back and try something else in the future. read more

Love the breakfast. Really quality food with good variety of options. Also, not expensive in price at all. However, few things like bagels are too expensive. read more

Cafe Pogacha has pretty decent soups sometimes. My favorite is the tomato basil and the club sandwiches are pretty good too. BUT, it is ridiculously overpriced. Well, I guess that's a given being located in downtown Bellevue and everything. I've had their breakfast a few times before. I ordered the ham & cheese croissant and I swear, the few times that I asked to have it warmed up... I've had to remind them that my croissant was still in the oven. I do not like waiting... it makes me feel awkward. The place is pretty convenient since I work in the other PSE building and it's only a few steps away... I only come here if I am uber lazy and craving their tomato basil coup... but a cup of soup and a half sandwich for $8 is too pricey for my liking. Sigh. read more

This place has wonderful food and exceptional service! That is a combination that is hard to find these days! One of the best tomato soups I have ever had and the iced tea was exceptional. Will definitely be back! read more

I was going to Get Breakfast at Pogacha this morning and the Security guard at the building kicked me out (middle Easter looking) he said I wasn't allowed to the building that it was Private property read more

Came here on a lunch break. This place serves breakfast and lunch at a convenient location in Downtown Bellevue. The staff is friendly, and food comes out QUICKLY! I'm unsure of it's just because I ordered a salad or if it's because all food comes out quickly, but I can't imagine it takes forever. Everything on the menu is pretty easy to put together. My chicken caesar salad while good, wasn't the best ever. A bit bland. I added some salt and pepper to it and asked for lemon. The portion was plentiful. It took forever to make a dent in it. With so many places to choose from, when I'm looking for more of a "homemade" meal, I like to come to Cafe Pogacha. The space is huge! Lots of beautiful natural light. I bet they use the patio area in the summer time to set extra tables out for people to dine. I'll be back! read more

I work a block away from the PSE building, and didn't know that this cafe was located here, thanks to all the construction that has been happening on the area surrounding the building (and the fact that I generally don't go cruising down NE 4th unless I am in my car). The cafe is located in the corner of the front lobby. There is seating in the cafe area as well as on the lobby, along the glass walk way. The food is decent - and cheap (especially considering the area it is located). We went for lunch, and I had the "double" order of BBQ Chicken pizza (code name for two pizzas instead of just one) and a soda pop for $7. This was a lot healthier than McDonald's (the original first choice) and it was fast. We sat down and received our meals within 5 minutes. The service was not fantastic. The girl who took my oder looked like she had a rough night before, and wasn't in much of a mood to deal with the lunch rush. Bear in mind, it was well past 12:30 at that point, so the bulk of the "rush" was gone by the time we got there. She was forgetful and snapped a little at me (Sorry, I've never been here - it takes me a few minutes to ask questions about the menu and then order.). Cheap and quick. It wasn't the best food I've ever had, but considering fast food isn't any cheaper and this is a "sit down" type of establishment, I would definitely revisit. read more

Café Pogacha - Prawn and scallop pasta - Sandwiches Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I'm typically not a sandwich person so when the office had lunch catered from here I was a little unsure. But it was pretty delicious, well at least the bread was. I don't know what kind of bread it is but I love how warm, fluffy, doughy and all around carb-tastic it is. I think it's a bit pricey for a sandwich, but it's good to try just once. Since the catering, I went out to the cafe and didn't realize it was in a giant corporate building. So that was a bit confusing. The employees were all very friendly and the food came out quickly. read more

I went to the Cafe Pogacha for the first time last Friday, with a friend who is lucky enough to work across the street at Expedia. I admit, I was a bit skeptical when he suggested meeting at a little cafe in the building of Puget Sound Energy, but my skepticism was sorely misplaced. From the great service, broad menu offerings, and reasonable lunch prices, Cafe Pogacha hits every nail on the head. From almost the moment, I arrived, I kept wishing we had something like this near the University of Washington. I work at the UW and we have very few options for lunch. We definitely don't have a place for a quick, thoughtful, and flavorful lunch where you can get a salad, sandwich, or pasta dish that you feel good about. With most new eatery spots catering to professionals are opening in South Lake Union, we are caught between full service restaurants and eateries catering to UW's undergrad population. I think the folks who are not giving it more stars are comparing it to all restaurants ever, which I am not. I'm comparing it to other spots I would frequent for lunch and this spot seems to hold up. I look forward to trying it again and updating my review. read more

Not bad, not bad at all. Nothing out of the world but for a cup of joe & a bite this is a good spot. Latte drinkers: My lattes are always made to perfection. LOVE!!! For all of you drip drinkers: you get free refills all day! Breakfast eaters: breakfast is good, not great but deff hits the spot. read more

This place is not without its faults. We've been here a few times and they always seem to make a mistake on our order. Good luck finding restrooms closeby. Parking is expensive and they don't validate. But the food is legit. Fresh, healthy ingredients. Reasonably priced. Clean restaurant. The reason for 4 stars (not 3) is that they are always amazing with my kids. There is no kids menu but my children enjoy the regular dishes. The staff treat us particularly well, even helping us with self serve water etc. No high chairs that I could see but otherwise exceptional family service for a cafe that generally hosts the professional crowd. read more

Café Pogacha - Tuesday scramble special - Sandwiches Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Pogacha is an AMAZING caterer & restaurant. They provide quick, efficient service and the food is always well-received at my office! They always accommodate dietary restrictions for our catered events and are absolutely fantastic to work with. Their skewers are amazing and their homemade bread is to die for. I cannot recommend Pogacha highly enough!!! read more

One of my favorite places for breakfast! I work closeby to this location and I absolutely LOVE their AM Pogacha (breakfast sandwich) with bacon. It always hits the spot but I do order their daily special of some kind of scramble every once in a while. The staff are always helpful and friendly. As for lunch, I love going and getting one of their baked potatoes! I think they do the simple things so well! I once ordered a bowl of soup to go with my basic baked potato but it was way too much food! I like the option of sitting in or just ordering out for the same experience really. You definitely feel like you are eating at a place that is a bit higher quality with the convenience of a "normal" deli. I've had some of their lunch specials and although they are "okay", they don't seem to compare to my regular favorites. read more

This family run place has always been there for me for a quiet respite on a busy day. The food is always fresh, there is something for everyone on the menu, and the bread is fantastic! I don't understand any of the negative reviews. Bellevue is an expensive place to do business and this family is working their tails off to serve us fresh, healthy food, creatively prepared. Five Stars! read more

Chicken Avocado Salad amazing. Great staff and the line moves quickly. I love this place!

The food is fine, but GET IT TOGETHER! All they do is breakfast and lunch and yet it's like they never know lunch is coming. The bread hadn't arrived, the potatoes weren't ready, and the time it takes them to start making your order is crazy. Conveniently located so I just wish it wasn't so annoying to know you've ordered a chicken salad sandwich and it takes 20 minutes to put together. I hate that their bread is so good and, if you want a baked potato, it's probably your only choice because I will likely be back at some point. But I'll go with the knowledge that they just got the memo they'd be serving lunch that day. read more

This is our go to local restaurant. Easy parking, consistent food and pleasant service. The pizza oven makes the best pizza crust. Nothing fancy but fair prices. read more

I like their lunch menu, but this review is more on the coffee. They serve Vita coffee at this location, but the staff seem to be inconsistent in the 4 times I ordered latte there. 2 out of 4 times the drinks they made are blah. That's why if the weather is nice and I feel like a walk, I would go to T'Latte instead. read more

Food is solid. My favorite thing to get is the roasted vegetable sandwich lunch. Their bread really is good, and I've also had the pizza before. Included with the sandwich, for lunch it comes with a tiny bit of fruit and a little salad (i think you can choose among 3 things). The price is just alright for lunch. For the similar price of food at other lunch places nearby, I'll usually have leftovers, enough for another meal. The amount of food they serve usually doesn't leave me with leftovers here. So in that sense, it's a little more costly. read more

We confused this office building cafe with Pogacha restaurant - thy are different beasts entirely. This is a cafe serves sandwiches and pre-made salads. Breakfast sandwich was fine, but not exceptional. They do not validate for parking in the garage in the building. I would say there is no great reason to go out of your way to come here; if you are in the building already, it would be a good option. read more

Staff was friendly and helped me with the menu. Got the breakfast sandwich, bread was soft, eggs were creamy and bacon was crispy and salty. Sandwich filled me up, much better than Starbucks sandwiches. Was a little tricky to find, since it's part of the pugent sound building, but behind the street facing side. read more

Great find for a business brunch meeting. Food was fresh and came out quickly and was customized to our tastes. So good!! Will definitely go again! read more

Not a big fan of their lunch menu but their breakfast, especially their daily special scramble, is always great, especially for the price! The staff is super friendly, especially Crystal, who knows the names of my 2 boys and is always so sweet to them. It's our special breakfast treat during the week before dropping the kiddos at daycare. The floor to ceiling brings so much natural light. I wish they were opened on the weekends for breakfast/brunch! read more
