Espresso martini didn't do it for me - too foamy, and I think it has cinnamon? Friendly but noisy atmosphere. Lots of folks working, reading, chatting. Pay at the counter, take a number and then sit.

They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, which is especially lovely during the summer and fall, with a beautiful lake view to enjoy! The food was good overall. The only thing I was missing was a little spice. Hopefully they add a sauce or something with a nice kick for those of us who like a little heat! Definitely a cute spot to grab a bite and enjoy the view.

However the food is delicious and if you do get to go try their pancake bar! It's so nice. They have outdoor seating with blankets so if there are open seats outside and you don't have a reservation, just make sure you bring a coat since it can get chilly. Parking is mostly street but there is a park and ride that most people park at and walk to the restaurant nearby!

We visited this spot today for a late brunch after a long hiatus because I read that it was under…read morenew ownership. The food had really gone downhill in recent years, but I'm happy to report that our brunch was very good. It was too late for me to enjoy anything caffeinated, but next time I'll go earlier to sample their interesting coffee menu like cold brew lemonade and fruity latte. I had the crab cake Benedict - flavorful and perfectly soft poached egg. My daughters had the Swedish pancakes and French toast, both two thumbs up. The half order of French toast was enormous. We also had a side of bacon which had both crispier and softer pieces, satisfying the differing preferences around the table. It was definitely more expensive than it used to be, but everything is. That's why it gets 4 stars instead of 5.

Loved that they opened up the garage door like windows so that we could enjoy the beautiful day. The staff did seem a little lost with the table numbers and what dishes went where- our food was brought to another table before us twice.

Very cute and relaxing place to catch up with friends! While I first thought the menu items were…read moreexpensive, the bingsoo is quite large. For four people, we ordered a large piggy bar and regular injeolmi bingsoo, This came out to be ~$36. The piggy bar is definitely very sweet, while the injeolmi is more balanced and nutty. I enjoyed the bottom strawberry layer in the piggy bar but liked the injeolmi topping. Layers of injeolmi or red bean would make the injeolmi bingsoo even better. Excited to come back and try their fruity flavors!

Macrina always manages to deliver subpar quality somehow. I asked for my bread to be sliced and…read morethis is what they gave me. Are you serious?

Came to try the bakery because I fell in love with their bread (discovered at PCC) and I'm ECSTATIC. Prices are on par with my other favorite bakery (Rosellinis in Whittier Heights). Everything I had was delicious. This will be my new spot from now on. Need to go back to try the things they ran out of when I visited ! They have locations in West Seattle, 2 downtown, & Capitol Hill as well :)

The covered outdoor space is awesome, though! It's a little tight inside if you want to work (I tried, and it was a challenge). Not terrible, but not my favorite either.

I was excited to come here and enjoy some simple tapas and speak Spanish with my family. I love…read morethe concept, and the intent. The service was also great, considering there were many people and only one server. The coffee was good and people were all making an effort to speak Spanish, which I very much appreciated. The tortilla de patata, was also fine. That was the good. Overall, the food, as simple as it was, was really, really dissapointing. First, they rely exclusively on a microwave and a toaster oven. This should probably mean they serve only a few premade pastries and maybe come fiambres and call it a day. But I did not realize this when I ordered churros con chocolate for the whole family. Instead of having freshly fried churros - the only way to serve these, and the only way you will ever have them in any cafeteria in Spain - they preheated some pre-baked abominations along with a schmear of cold fudge sauce in a saucer. For a place so infatuated with Spain to serve something so wholly inauthentic really surprised me. Is it that hard to make chocolate a la taza? Is it that hard to have a frier and serve up some fresh churros? That's what we thought we were getting.... The ensaladilla was also a poor imitation of a Spanish classic, with mostly mayo, hardly any tuna, and punctuated with a smattering of pale peas. Even the pan con tomate, jamón y queso was bad. I confess that I've never understood the Catalan tendency to grate tomato on bread for these montaditos, but Ole doesn't even do that. Eschewing this easy opportunity to use a fresh ingredient, they squeeze some cold tomato sauce on a slice of toast instead. Almost as bad, the jamon serrano they use is cold and presliced (meaning that the salt is brought to the surface of the meat), instead of room temperature like jamon needs to be, rendering it dry and hard instead of warm and tender. In short, Ole cuts corners at every turn, relying on premade dishes for nearly everything, a decidedly un Spanish approach to food. Seattle desperately needs an authentic little Spanish cafeteria where folks can get good, simple freshly made tapas made with love. This place doesn't even try. With all that being said, if you want a good coffee and to be surrounded by people who love the language, Ole offers this. And that's pretty good too..
