    Biscuits, Sausage Gravy & Eggs
    Lucy D.

    My boyfriend swears by this place, but to be honest it wasn't great. Food was almost cold, flavorless, and biscuits were barely cooked. Staff was really sweet though

    Hot Chocolate

    Costa's is my GO TO restaurant with family and friends from out of town. This was my first time going for dinner service and it did NOT disappoint. The server was very kind and came over for our orders right away. I've been here for breakfast before and it was a lot faster service for dinner too. I love the ambiance of Costa's because it feels like such a family cozy restaurant. I think that is something pretty rare in U District. As for the food, I enjoyed it. I got the smoked salmon pasta and it was super creamy and indulgent. I do think it was a bit on the salty side, so there's a warning. I brought home leftovers because the portion was so big. I also got the Lentil Soup as my side for the Pasta and it's vegan and shockingly amazing! The soup was so hearty and everything you want on a winters day. I repeat DO NOT sleep on the lentil soup, SO yummy!!! Finally, I got my favorite thing from costa's, the hot chocolate. It came out 2 minutes after ordering and had a mountain of whipped cream, just how I like it. I know Costa's is more of a breakfast place, but go try it at Dinner and I think you will enjoy!!

    California Chicken Sandwich
    Kitty M.

    3rd time here with hubby and step-son and they do not disappoint. This time I tried their cheeseburger and hubby and step-son had the chicken sandwich. Servings were generous. Service was at reasonable wait. Food is reasobly priced. And the place, very conducive for a nice family dinner. Visited also their restroom and it was clean. Service staff is friendly and attentive. Will be back to try other things on their menu.

    California Burrito
    Renee S.

    A great brunch place with huge portions that will leave you full! I personally really like the omelette and scrambles here! The waffle was a little soggy for me because of the fruit sauce so I would get it on the side in the future! Service was good, they often check up on you to make sure everything is to your liking and the lively atmosphere makes Costa's a great place to visit and catch up with friends!

    Strawberry Nutella Crepes
    Kaylin G.

    One of my favorite brunch spots in Univ District. Chill ambiance and kind employees create a wonderful atmosphere for brunch, lunch, or dinner! I love the crepes and always get them when I go.

    Garden Skillet
    Sandy N.

    Pretty good brunch place in U District! I went here with some friends who were visiting from outside of Seattle and we had a hearty breakfast! There was a little bit of a line for those waiting to be seated when we arrived but it took like 10 minutes for us to be seated. I ended up getting the garden skillet and it was a pretty good portion. I forgot what my friends got but those were also pretty big. I would say Costas is a pretty average breakfast place so if you're looking for some place simple and quick, you should go here!

    Salmon Benedict
    Fionna L.

    $15.95 bottomless mimosas, all day every day!! Need I say more?! Costa's specializes in breakfast food and our unusually generous portions of Swedish pancakes, eggs, bacon and salmon benedict were solidly good. Service was attentive and laid back and our table was next to one of the huge plants that gave this casual place personality. This is not the most high quality or fanciest food you'll ever eat, but it sure is satisfying and their huge menu has something for everyone. Come here if you're craving a hearty, inexpensive meal on the Ave.

    Souvlaki Combo Plate
    Ayana B.

    This is one of the prettiest places on the ave! It's a great date (or solo date!) spot for breakfast and lunch. I had the souvlaki plate and I was impressed! The meat was very well seasoned and they give you pita, tzatziki, salad and rice on the side! The portion size is very generous - it fills you up if you're hungry and if you're not, you'll have some delicious leftovers to look forward to! The waitress was such a sweet and smiling person, and checked in on me several times. She was very helpful when it came to ordering and I really loved my experience here, it's amazing when people share the joy of food! I will be coming back, I've heard the pastas are really good so I've got to test this for myself!

    So much variety and everything was very good. It was busy and I still got my food very quickly.

    Greek Vegetarian Scramble and Country Fried Steak and Eggs
    Brianna F.

    All-day breakfast & bottomless mimosas? I'm in! Costa's has a very extensive menu with multiple pages of breakfast items. The food comes out quickly, the staff is very attentive, and the portions are HUGE. Our bottomless mimosas were refilled multiple times and topped off without us having to ask. I absolutely loved the Greek vegetarian scramble - loaded with veggies and olives!! I could only finish half at the restaurant but ate the rest as soon as I got home. I have also gone for lunch and the veggie burger & lentil soup were also tasty. Overall, a cute little restaurant with good food. Will be back again for more bottomless mimosas

    What a secret gem of a place! Just tucked in from a bustling Denny street!…read more We started out with some cappuccino and iced latte, and they were lovely. They served the coffees with a little shortbread cookie, and these little details really elevated the whole experience. Also, the cappuccino was so foamy, and it hit the spot immediately. The breakfast menu was also fantastic. The TPC Breakfast plate included sausage, potatoes, bacon, bread, and some scrambled eggs. There also was an option to add Beecher's cheese on the eggs, and I'd say it was totally worth it. Most importantly, the Dutch baby was as good as they'd advertised. It comes out on a piping hot skillet which kept the dessert warm till the end of the meal. The service was very quick even though they were entirely booked out for the time we were there for. I appreciated the patience from the servers and their helpful directions in picking the menu items. I will warn you that we had to reserve our spot months in advance. This is probably because the restaurant is great but pretty limited in seating space. However, it was definitely worth the wait, so don't be discouraged. I highly recommend trying it out at least once. All in all, highly recommend! Please go try Tilikum Place Cafe!

    We tried all three Dutch babies - classic, sweet, and savory - and they didn't disappoint. The…read moresavory-sweet combo was the highlight, especially if you enjoy contrasting flavors. The baked eggs, however, were just okay - nothing particularly good. The ambiance was cozy and nice, right in downtown Seattle. However, be prepared: the wait can be long, and once you're done, they'll need the table, as there's usually a line. Overall, it's worth a visit - just make a reservation and come for the Dutch babies. I was told there are seasonal Dutch babies so try again sometime in June maybe.

    Fulcrum Cafe is a small but cute coffee shop in the Denny Triangle area of Downtown Seattle…read more When we visited, Fulcrum offered a great menu of fancy speciality coffee drinks and an amazingly lovely pastry selection. Unfortunately, they were not offering breakfast sandwiches on the day we visited, which was a large part of their food menu. The service was fast and friendly. This place does have a bit of a fancier vibe, so we opted to order and go since our kids were with us. They do have cute little seating options inside and outside- always a perk! We just ordered a drip coffee and a pistachio cream latte. The Pistachio Cream latte was amazing, but we wished it had a tad more pistachio flavor. The drip coffee was good. Worth the visit if you're nearby!

    Fulcrum Coffee is an absolute gem. My husband ordered their brewed coffee, and he loved it--rich,…read morebold, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of bitterness. He drinks his coffee black, so flavor really matters, and this one delivered. It was smooth, complex, and honestly the perfect start to our day--it had him energized and ready to take on anything. I went with the "Sunggle Me Sesame" (espresso, toasted black sesame sauce, brown sugar syrup, and oat milk), and it was phenomenal. I'm not usually a fan of sweet drinks, but this was beautifully crafted--not overly sweet, just a perfect balance of nutty, toasty, and slightly sweet flavors. It felt unique, comforting, and incredibly well thought out. Overall, such a standout coffee spot with creative drinks and exceptional quality. Highly recommend!

I noticed the salmon on the menu and decided to give it a try since I was looking for something a little lighter. I am so glad I did. Without exaggeration, it was the best salmon I've ever had.

Beyond the food, the atmosphere was fantastic, the service was friendly and attentive, and the bar offered a great selection of cocktails and spirits.

The Dutch baby was the real winner: chewy, and puffy golden edges, blackberries, candied nuts, and a fruit drizzle. That was the most memorable thing on the table. The fish sandwich was fine but a little underwhelming. Crispy bacon and a generous salmon fillet, but the bun came out cold, which threw off the whole bite. At around $25, that detail matters. The most disappointing thing were the Fries, which were on the harder side. Tables are tight, so plan for elbow-to-elbow seating. Worth it for the Dutch baby. I'd order differently next time. Food was 3 stars, but 1 star for our server.
