Very friendly staff. Attentive and courteous. My buddy had a breakfast burrito and enjoyed it and she made a fresh pot of coffee. Excellent. I just wish they had 'lighter' breakfast items like croissant but that's just me. read more

I ordered the French Dip and while it was good I have to mention that it had very little meat on it. The au jus was very bland too. I probably would not order it again. The cafe was clean and the order came in a timely manner. read more

I drive by this place multiple times per week and I was finally able to pull in and try it out! I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was. I ordered their breakfast sandwich (breaking my diet..) but I don't regret it for a second! I actually don't remember the last time I enjoyed a sandwich so much! The woman taking my order was so incredibly sweet, I really enjoyed the bit of time we chatted. Very genuine and kind person! read more

First off upon walking up to the door, the owner came and opened the door for us. Such a bright and vibrant man and lovely to talk to. Easy enough to say.. I'm never going to subway or Jersey mikes etc. these sandwiches hit! And they aren't crazily expensive. Such a good sandwich, I got the Hot Italian Grinder and it's a 10/10. My fiance got a king club and it tastes like my childhood on a hot sunny day at the pool. Loved everything about my experience here and will be back! read more

Ok, so I admit I have been in error for not trying this place sooner!! Finally decided to stop in for a grinder.. Oh man am I glad I did. First off very clean and tidy place with very friendly people. We were behind the lunch crowd so order was quick and easy. The Italian Grinder was awesome to say the least. The bread (roll) was toasty yet freshly soft. The meat and cheese was prepared perfectly, and the "shoestring " frys were fresh and hot,, even the fry sauce was good. All in all it was a VERY filling and deliteful lunch! I can't wait to go back! read more

Steak Phillie sandwich, it seemed like it came out of a corporate office vending machine. Low quantity of ingredients, chewy bread. Still hungry, so not worth the price. read more

Pros: friendly staff, quick service, food is decent and unpretentious, plenty seating and parking, I had a fair experience with this eatery Cons: not much. read more

I Wanted to try a new place for lunch and decided to try this place based on Yelp reviews. I placed my order over the phone and pick up was fast and easy. The employees were very nice and the place was pretty busy. It was also very clean. I was originally going to give 4 stars because it's like a 3.5 for me but I don't really ever seeing myself go back here. The food wasn't so good, that it made me feel like, "yep, I've definitely gotta back". Unfortunately, it just didn't do that for me. The soup beef and veggie soup we ordered, livery had one cube of meat and maybe a couple slivers of celery. It was all broth. The tuna sandwich was thick and a little messy to eat but satisfactory to eat. The Italian grinder had good flavor but mostly bread and little on the meat. The food was hot and definitely fresh though! read more

This is my go-to lunch spot, I really love the Italian grinder sandwich. It's always the same and delicious. They are quick and the staff is always so nice. I also love their breakfast burritos, the hash brown has the best crunch to it and it's cheesy. Yum! Highly recommend read more

Great service, fantastic turkey club wrap, and super quick. Was in and out in 5 minutes, and will definitely be coming back soon.

I'm still sitting in the restaurant and just have to write this, dang best breakfast burrito I've ever had. Nice and simple and super cheap, paid only $24 for 2 burritos and 2 drinks usually we spend around $40 for breakfast. Please come here these guys deserve the business read more

The breakfast burritos are the bomb and the breakfast sandwich omg can already taste it

Quick service with great food!! The ultimate wrap is a favorite. Best food in the area.

This was the best customer service and great atmosphere, I walked in and there wasn't anyone, but a few minutes later a lot of people showed up everyone was greeted well. The breakfast was delicious and fulfilling the orange juice was great. I could've ordered another plate but I was on a tight schedule. Next time I'm back in town this will be the first place I will come. read more

Wowww what a secret spot! the outside lettering and building is nothing like the inside! It looks like they've done a remodel and it's a great vibe. I'd say homey and trendy at the same time. The pictures of this grinder made it look like the bread is overwhelming but it's actually a wonderful texture and balance!! The sandwich smells amazing immediately and I love the flavor!! I also am glad that I added turkey although it was $3 extra . Definitely will be going again! read more

This truly is a hidden gem, it's on a random corner on a plaza consisting of things I would never had a reason to stop in. Good thing there's Yelp, I was around running errands and wanted to try something new and this place seem to get good reviews. You can feel that it's a small mom and pops place, the people that work here were so nice and attentive. I didn't know what to order and they suggested their most popular choice, the grinder! It's a piece of really crispy bread with your selection of meat and special sauce, omg the melted cheese too. I ordered fries too. It's a generous portion as I can only finish half, but yay I have the other half for dinner now. Prices were very affordable, and you can just tell it's run by a very nice family. Tell me about your experience if you've been here or is going to after reading this review:) read more

My daughter and I were in the area for a soccer tournament and happened to drive past this spot while looking for a place to eat. WOW! Are we so excited to have found it! The food was fresh, made from scratch and absolutely delicious. Service was super fast and SO FRIENDLY! We wish we found Chestnut Cafe sooner and will be back! 5 Stars! read more

Bread sandwiches. Hawaiian had more pepperoncini than ham. The pineapple bits were straight from a can, not even grilled. The pesto chicken sandwich had more lettuce than chicken. The fries were unseasoned. The milkshake was the best part of the meal. I will not return. Ever. read more

This is an interesting little place in Kent that feels like it has been there just forever. I went in today with a skeptical mind about "The Best Club Sandwich in Kent". When ordering sandwiches Brian (I later learned his name), was very patient and worked with me on how I wanted my sandwiches to be. I ordered the Club, really wanted to try the Rueben (no longer on the menu), went with a Philly and Egg Salad. Each sandwich is...exactly what you would want and expect. So best--open to opinion, but to me darn near perfect. read more

My husband picked up 3 sandwiches today. The club, the philly and an egg sandwich. I hadn't asked him for the egg sandwich but it was my favorite of the bunch. The egg salad was yummy with fresh lettuce and tomato. It was the best egg salad sandwich I had in long time. We look forward to ordering from you all again. read more

Yummy food and quick service! Our food was ready within 15 minutes. I loved the italian grinder, it's very yummy and you won't regret the extra calories! Hubby had the grilled cheese which was good, nothing extraordinary. read more

Flew into town for work early and found this place. Small but clean, the owners were super friendly. I ordered the breakfast wrap, which was very flavorful and tasty. It had a spicy mayo that was very spicy but so delicious. It was made when I ordered, so it was hot and fresh. I will definitely be going back.! read more

I had an hour between an airport drop off and when IKEA opened (Billy bookcases forever!) and I went looking for a place to grab a nosh before I went into full-on Swedish meatball mode. I found this little gem of a place tucked in the corner of an industrial park right around the block from the giant, blue behemoth. A pretty good cup of diner coffee and a breakfast wrap (eggs, bacon, hash browns with house-made spicy mayo) for under $10. Super friendly staff and uber clean, albeit a tad spartan. If you're in the neighborhood, this a great place to get fueled up before venturing into the labyrinth that is self assembled furniture. read more

There was a tingle I felt as the gentleman that took my order yelled across to the chef in Korean. I know what he was saying because unlike most of the patrons there I too am Korean. "Mom triple decker hold the tomatoe" his mother agreeingly muttered "yes yes" with a smile on her face. She doesn't look like she speaks much English but you could tell she was so happy her son was there to greet the customers. The son started casual chit chat and sprinted across the Resteraunt taking care of the customers. You could tell he is really trying to win the customers. He genuinely was trying to help his mothers business. The smile on the mothers face showed she already won. Having her son there, working side by side as a team. His eagerness and patience with his mother and her hard work and guidance was the secret recipe. If you are so lucky to go by this cafe you might get a glimpse of that, through all the local engineers that don't even notice what's going on here. And maybe, just maybe you might leave a better person than when you walked in. The sandwich filled my stomach, but the tingle shook my heart and filled my soul. read more

This sandwich shop is so cute. It's a small family own business. I found out it's being run by a new family, the family before was running it for 25 years before. All the food and sandwiches are made with fresh ingredients everyday. The family who runs the place is very sweet and funny. I had a turkey avocado wrap and Italian sub and teriyaki chicken. Food was really good and has great friendly vibe. If your passing by and looking for a quick bite or work around the office area Definitely stop by for lunch. read more

After riding around for 15 minutes desperately looking for something good to eat a tiny sign caught our attention: "Gourmet Sandwiches and Soup". We were welcomed by the cashier, who had the most amazing customer service I've encountered in a long time! Cheerful, helpful but efficient. We ordered the French Dip and Teriyaki combo. The French dip is perfect, starting from the bread. It was a soft yet sturdy texture, you pressed it and it was very thin, however it would sprung right back up! The meat (roast beef) and cheese (swiss) were in perfect proportion to the bread, not too much, not too little. The au jus was delicious, the bread absorbed the liquid like a sponge without falling apart. My hubby had the teriyaki combo, came with rice and a small salad. The teriyaki was delicious, really hit the spot. The rice was regular white rice, always pairs nicely with teriyaki, the salad was meh, just plain old lettuce and ranch. I love this place, you can truly tell they take great care in the ingredients they use in preparing their food, the only bad part is I am from out of town, so I will probably not be able to enjoy their food again for a long time. read more

I pass this place often but hadn't stopped in until recently for breakfast. They didn't have much but I did find a breakfast burrito. I was surprised to find it quite tasty. They had a spicy sauce on it that was good. read more

The wife and I usually use Yelp when deciding a new place to eat. 3 stars is generally average overall. 4-5 is good/perfect. The overall score of 4 tempted me about this place, however after just finishing my meal, I feel like I must have ordered the wrong thing; cause while my meal wasn't bad, it wasn't a 4.....more like the 3 I gave it.....maybe a 3.5. (If yelp allowed half stars) I had a philly cheesesteak, fries and a fountain drink for like 13 bucks. Value: nailed it The gal who took my order was friendly and attentive, had no idea what I meant when I asked if they have "wiz". No problem. This just told me to expect basic white cheese, meat, peppers, and onions. And that's exactly what I got. Quality: decent. Could use some improvement. My sandwich reminded me of something I'd get in a cafeteria. Not terrible, just kinda there. Their soda fountain could also use some work. My coke was a bit flat and not as cold as soda fountain beverage usually is. I drink a stupid amount of liquid though so this was easy to overlook in exchange for the free refills. :) I'm definitely gonna give this place another shot. Perhaps a grinder next time.... read more

Used to come here for lunch when I worked in the south King County area. Definitely a hidden gem of a cafe. You usually don't expect good food to come from a business park-type location, but ka-blam, it does! Upon walking in, you are greeted by very friendly staff behind the counter and classical music (borderline too loud, though). The menu is pretty straight forward, filled with deli classics like salads, sandwiches, and fries and that what not. But then they totally change it up and go all Western Washington on you and throw some teriyaki up at you. The fare I've had here has ranged from a-okay to "omg, what's in my mouth? I wanna marry it!" The CCCR (cranberry, cream cheese, croissant) is phenom-nom-nom-nom! Any place that does Thanksgiving-style sandwiches year-round...if there is an Olympics for sandwiches, give them medals. All of them. Salads are good. Crinkle cut fries come to you lava-hot. Onion rings are gigantic, sometimes as big as your face. Absolutely excellent drink selection if fountain drinks aren't your thing (tons of Nantucket Nectars, Tazo and Honest Teas, various juices, and Rockstar if you need to wake up at lunch). The only drawback would be the teriyaki, honestly. While it was most definitely palatable, as I ate it like a zombie eating brains for the first time in weeks, it didn't rock my world. The beef was cut too finely, and the sauce was almost too sweet. Save for the one drawback of the teriyaki, definitely go here. It's an oasis in an otherwise bleak part of Kent. A great place to get away and grab a bite (and WHAT a bite) to eat. read more

Went to Chestnut Cafe on the yelp rating alone looking for a sandwich for lunch. I ordered the Reuben Melt. The sandwich was great the bread was toasted just right and the cheese was completely melted. They sauce they used was very flavorful and I was perfectly satisfied with the melt. The two service was welcoming and friendly and I enjoyed being a customer at Chestnut Cafe and will return to order different items from the menu, thinking Grinder next time. The actual restaurant is business complex. The inside seats plenty of people for breakfast and lunch. Looks to me that they are short for storage since they had bottled beverages in stacks by the counter. The decor is rundown and the inside is in need of a makeover. I would say "dive bar" type vibe for lunch. I went for food which was prepared fast and satisfied my need for a sandwich. Parking is reserved for an hour plus additional parking in front. If you in the area and need a quick bit for the road stop in. read more

The Chestnut Cafe is an adorable little hole-in-the-wall that I wish was open far more often than it is. I love the sign outside that boasts "TeriyakiBreakfastGrinderSandwiches" smashed so close together you start to wonder what a Teriyaki Breakfast would taste like. On one particularly hungover day on my way to work I got a horrendous craving for an egg salad sandwich, and given that that is not something I had eaten in about ten years I didn't know where to get one nearby, but I figured the Chestnut was as good a place as any to look. They made me the most incredible creamy, yummy egg salad on sourdough sandwich that I have had in my entire life. They completely saved my day and before I knew it I was coming back 3 times a week. I tried several different things (all good, never great), until settling on their BBQ chicken sandwich - plain, add cheese as my usual. OMG YUM. They toast their bread on a griddle so it gets JUST A LITTLE crispy but still soft inside and warm all over. *sigh* read more

Incredible service and sandwiches! My boyfriend and I drove in randomly to avoid traffic and ordered 2 sandwiches, egg salad and the grinder. So many bread options and toppings. We were so happy we ordered a third sandwich (grilled cheese) and cookies. So many drink options in their coolers INCLUDING energy drinks. Perfect spot for lunch and dinner. They also have a delicious looking breakfast menu we plan on going back for sometime! read more

This is a great little place for lunch. The owners are super nice, the food is great and always fresh. It's a good value for your money.
