We made a reservation on Resy (which is really great if you have American Express because they have a special dining compensation program through Resy). Brittany was our server, and fantastic. We started with the martini espresso and a cappuccino heavy on the foam. My friend ordered the tender pulled beef short ribs with pan roasted potatoes that came topped with perfectly fried eggs. I ordered the shrimp and grits with eggs over easy. The grits were so creamy and wonderfully hot, temperature hot not spicy, and the shrimp came flavored in a sauce that is hard to describe but very easy to eat. Conversation was possible because it wasn't too loud and the seating was fantastic, not tight or packed together, and there was in fact a really wonderful covered patio space outside complete with attractive center table and decor of lights. For her birthday there was a lemon ricotta cheesecake that was perfectly doused in cherry sauce with optional Graham powder crust circling the moist and light cheesecake. Came with a sparkler which made for the perfect occasion to take a birthday photo. And even complementary many pours of champagne to toast. I don't know if there's a better place to dine in Bothell. Make a reservation and then expect to be impressed by both the food and the service. We were. Thanks Brittany for making the occasion such a memorable one.

I made a reservation for patio seating and when we arrived, I walked inside, shared my name and reservation, and was directed to our table by one of the hostesses. We had a party of five + a pup! Everyone ordered the Cottage Burger while I treated myself to the short rib hash to try something different. Service was excellent! Our waitress came over to take our order and when we got our drinks, we were checked once again and was notified our food was coming shortly. Food arrived fresh, hot, and delicious! All in all, giving The Cottage another chance after I've been coming here for years before the takeout experience has reminded me the quality of customer service and food stayed the same pre-Covid and post-Covid. Thank you to Madison and the wonderful staff!

Woods has fully replaced Starbucks for me as my go-to coffee stop. The staff are friendly and super…read morewelcoming, they also perform well under the pressure of long lines and consistently deliver quality beverages. I've had issues with a couple of orders and they've always been quick to fix them with no pushback or problems. I'm a big cold brew drinker, and Woods BY FAR blows out nearly every other cafe in the area's cold brew in terms of taste and smoothness. The seasonal menus are also fun and add some nice flavors if you don't mind some extra sugar in your drink. I'm not a huge fan of the food here but that's just me, I know some family and friends that love the items available. I've spent many hours working out of this Woods from my laptop and find the environment great. A couple of times I've had issues with other customers who obviously don't use deodorant, but that's not the stores problem. The WiFi is decently fast and very usable for the work I do. The bathroom is usually spotless too which is rare for a public place. Overall I highly recommend Woods Coffee and will keep coming back for the foreseeable future. Five stars for real!

The boba wasn't ready as a result. I ended up ordering a strawberry latte. They didn't seem to have size options. I found the strawberry latte to be a good level of sweetness for me. I don't recall if I made any adjustments but if I did, it was just less ice. They used strawberry chunks and they weren't sour. Overall it didn't blow me away but it is a nice addition to have in the area. I'm curious about their boba so I'll likely try that the next time I'm in that plaza.

There were some interesting items in the case with a variety of options and plenty to choose from too.

My wife got the raspberry sorbet and chocolate sorbet. The raspberry was one of the best I've tasted in a long time. With so many interesting flavors we will be back for sure.

Between their merch display, and the forest of ice cream scoops hanging from the ceiling, the design aesthetic stands out.
