I ordered the Eggs Benedict - Blackhouse which they put way too much hollandaise sauce on, which made the entire dish far too tarty tasting for my preferences (is it even supposed to be sour??? It seemed wrong) I was mildly disappointed avocado was mashed and not sliced. My friends were happy with their salmon scramble, and I tried a bit of their cinnamon swirl toast which I thought was good! We waited maybe 2 hours in the freezing cold - we had to step into Goodwill and Pretty Parlor to "browse" and kill time. You would think that anything would taste amazing at that point, but it was good, not amazing. Hence my 3 star rating. read more

5 stars for amazing service and amazing food! We had a hard time finding good places to eat in Seattle. I'm not even kidding, we went to two other brunch spots the other two days we were visiting and they were sooo bad so we came here on our last day and it was to die for. The coffee cake was the best I've ever had. I also LOVED that they have "safe space" sticker right outside on their window. This is definitely a spot I would recommend to anyone visiting Seattle. read more

They are great!! I have been a customer for over 30 years, Best breakfast in Seattle, hands down!!

Small place but hearty portions. Hash browns were cooked to perfection. 4 eggs omelette and scrambles are huge. Friendly service.

My wife and I were anxious to eat at Glo's! I got the salmon Bennie and my wife got an egg white veggie omelet and we split some pumpkin pancakes. Overall the food was good but, I don't feel like it was anything fantastic or super unique. The food was prepared well from mostly non homemade ingredients, the hashbrowns were cooked perfectly and they were accommodating to my wife's request to have the omelet cooked clean. The portions are smaller for what pay for. The space is very small. VERY small. Unfortunately we were seated at the table right next to the door so the entire visit we had the freezing cold air hitting us every 30 seconds or so that the door opened. read more

In Seattle for a graduation! Glo's was just a chance choice. This small breakfast place is a delicious surprise! The eggs were fluffy and flavorful! The hash browns with a side of fresh sliced tomato were seasoned well. The tomato was an unusual side that complimented the meal well! Any trip to Seattle will always include breakfast at Glo's! And it is economical!! read more

Food: we had egg Californiacation ( Benedict), eggs with chicken curry with side of buttermilk pancake and coffee. I would recommend every single food item listed above. Absolutely delicious food and coffee. Ambience: very casual and typical Capitol Hill ambience. Service: Servers were friendly and made you feel welcomed. Definitely deserve good tip. read more

Food is good, but the waitlist for the waitlist is crazy. Not sure what the hostess is up to the entire time but having been here three or four times it's typical to wait in a line for 20+ minutes just to put your name down on the waitlist (this is during mid-busy hours, but there has to be a better way). Hoping management sees this so they can fix this issue. read more

A tiny coffee shop started by an elderly lady named Glo (she looks like a former waitress), Glo's seems to be perpetually busy and hipper than you'd expect (maybe it's the neighborhood and the employees). Sip on complimentary coffee as you wait for an open table. The menu includes what you'd expect: omelettes, pancakes, scrambles, oatmeal, bagels, corned beef hash, sandwiches and daily specials. * Lemon poppyseed pancakes ($6.75 for 2): they added plenty of poppyseeds but I was disappointed that the pancakes weren't lemony...they were regular buttermilk pancakes with poppyseeds, dusted with powdered sugar, served with a housemade lemon curd. The curd was great but I wanted lemony pancakes. The pancakes were fairly fluffy with slightly crispy edges but dark, not tender and overcooked. They added butter on every pancake in the stack (usually places just put it on top). * Buttermilk pancakes: served with warm maple syrup on the side, dusted with powdered sugar, these pancakes were also overcooked and not tender/fluffy enough Loved all the free coffee refills...it really makes a diner experience so much more pleasant. Since the pancakes were disappointing, we looked around to see what others were ordering...seems like eggs benedict is what people in the know order. read more

Here's why Glo deserves 5 stars: Open until 4:00am Serves every drunk carnivores dream Serves every drink vegans dream (avocado a'top greasy overcooked hash browns) Fast service On the regular, I don't know about this spot being the ideal brunch location or even the - my parents are in town gotta take them to breakfast - location. But. I assume, that's not the target audience of this local. Soo, Glo. I give you 5 stars for: being open until 4am. Being around the corner from my apartment. For being fast, friendly and greasy. Which, in all honestly, is all anyone really expects from a diner. Am I wrong? read more

I was skeptical when I'm visiting from NJ and my friend recommended what is essentially diner to get brunch , but the food was great. Service was attentive. Great place. There was a long wait, but you'll find that in any diner doing Sunday brunch read more

Glo's is this quaint little restaurant a few steps away from Broadway in Cap Hill. They only have room for a few tables. If you're not there early, make sure you call in advance to put your name on their list or you'll be waiting for an hour to get seated. This speaks volumes as to their amazing food and wonderful service. Their wait staff makes you feel right at home, and the food is finger-licking good! I got the French toast and my fiancé got the eggs Benedict, and both were just absolutely perfect. This destination is a must if you're visiting the city, or if you're a local looking for some great brunch read more

If you like breakfast food that is authentic and delicious, this place is for you!! Seriously 10/10 highly recommend. Also love that they serve the homeless community during the morning hours. read more

I think I have an issue -- I just enjoy torturing myself. How come? Because I came back for another round of abuse. A table for two on Sunday at noon -- we waited an hour , then another half an hour to actually order. After waiting about 25 minutes at our table, we finally asked if we could order, but the waitress was rude and snarky with "we can't back up the kitchen." Ok. Rude servers... I can understand the potential charm of that. But. The food here always seems to be hit or miss -- the potato pancakes with green onions, sour cream, cheese, and apple compote were great. But the corned beef hash they did so well last time? TERRIBLE because they were BURNT. (See photos) read more

Their corned beef hash is the best in Seattle. I moved up north and I'll still only go there when I get a craving for that dish.

New favorite breakfast restaurant. SO GOOD! To start, the restaurant isn't very big so be prepared to wait. One way to avoid a "Long" wait is to call ahead and put your name down. Few restaurants allow you to do that and require you to show up to put your name down. Glo's on the other hand gets it so take advantage of it. If you do wait you get to sit in some comfy chairs or benches right outside on the sidewalk. Street parking only so plan ahead, parking in cap hill isn't the easiest. Again not a huge restaurant so don't show up with 15+ people thinking you are going to get a table easily. I recommend the Corn Beef Hash so MAJORNOMS!! The hashbrowns that come with them are extremely good, cooked to perfection if you ask me. Crispy on the outside soft and moist on the inside. The Corn Beef Hash was also so well cooked, nice flavorful corned beef, with delicious hash =). Linh got the Salmon Eggs Benedict. Most reviews rave about the Benedict it was pretty good I still think the Hash was better just my preference. On top of both of our entrees we also got the Belgian Waffles with all the fixings and they do not skimp on the fixings either. Piled high with fruit and whip cream it was delicious. Overall our first experience was great and we plan on going back. Check it out if you get an opportunity and are craving some nomtastic breakfast =). read more

10/10 food and service Got the Eggs Blackstone (eggs benedict w/ spinach and bacon) and hot chocolate, both of which were great. Everything about the eggs benedict was done just right. The egg was plump and runny, bacon was crispy, english muffin was toasted but wasn't too hard, and the hollandaise sauce was tasty and creamy. The hot chocolate had an incredible mountain of whipped cream on top. Everyone at Glo's was super nice. The only negative was the long wait (40min for 4ppl at 1pm on a Sunday), but that can't really be helped as it's so popular and such a small space. Overall, had a wonderful experience and can't wait to pass by here again to try all the other dishes (especially looking forward to the stuffed french toast!). read more

Found this place highly reviewed online- it is NOT a big place - so groups should steer clear. Cozy, little place. Basic eats. We had a Belgian Waffle, Eggs Benedict & the biscuits and gravy. Coffee was great very diner like with sugar and cream on the tables. The choices of food on the menu- were unique and basic at the same time. Waitress was awesome, and attentive. read more

Always pretty packed during peak brunch times. You're looking at an hour or longer wait on a weekend. This place is old school diner food but DONE RIGHT!! Their decor/age would make you pessimistic about their food quality but don't be fooled! Glo's was one of the first places I had breakfast before moving to Seattle and I still go there probably once a month. Love their Benedict options - the salmon Benedict is delicious!! read more

Been going to Glo's forever and miss her walking around the restaurant refilling coffee mugs from way back when. I've returned off and on since the new ownership and brought a college friend with me since she wanted a "big breakfast". So for a change of scenery off to this side of Capitol Hill from the Denny exit off of I-5 South. Scored on free 2 hour street parking and plentiful seating available since it was mid morning on a weekday. A lot of single and two tops dining which is a total contrast on weekends when it is packed with people waiting outside. College friend had the Eggs Benedict ($13.45) which came with hash browns. She commented the hollandaise was lemony, liked the crispy hash browns and the plentiful refills of drip coffee ($2). I had the homemade corned beef hash ($11.75) with two poached eggs, same crispy hash browns, two slices of whole wheat toast with jam. Consistent and tasty as I remembered, although mega carbo load with the toast and potatoes. Kudos to the egg cook - nicely poached eggs! It'll be essentially deemed as brunch as I am typing this in a post food haze even two hours later. The only things to note is that it took awhile to get our food as I noticed it parked in the pass through, however, when the food was delivered, it was tasty and served hot. Maybe it's because of a delayed food component. Also, despite being far from the main door, it was chilly. Maybe I should have asked for a mug of coffee just to use as a hand warmer. Next time I'll wear layers. Finally skip the plate garnish - yes, it adds color, but shredded red cabbage and a piece of mushy grapefruit? Maybe sliced apple, a grape or two, blueberries instead or nothing at all would have been preferred. The corned beef hash and crispy hash browns didn't need the garnish anyhow. It's a Capitol Hill institution and glad that it remains despite other places succumbing to becoming condos. It's food on the level of Dish or Square Knot. Many levels better than IHOP or Denny's. Just don't expect to leave pronto - expect an hour, longer on weekends. read more

Parking: Street, but is free along Olive Way (at least that's what an employee told me). Wait time: potentially long life (1 hour+) you come on the weekends. Capacity: SMALL! Better come with less than 4 people. I love these small hole in the wall eateries, especially if they're for breakfast. Instead of going with my typical eggs benedict order, I decided to try something new, the biscuits and gravy. This dish came with two eggs, crispy hash browns, and your choice of meat. pic: http://media3.ct.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/2mjub3QVshXOekCGFrAt1g/l This plate was great. The biscuits were a good size and not dry, and the gravy wasn't too savory. Since I didn't know when I'd return, I decided to get Glo's homemade waffle: http://media3.ct.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/YDs8Tr_5OuLlNwfjhD4NSA/l I was expecting a little more height, but I loved its gooey consistency when you bite into it. read more

Glo's does breakfast and they do it very well, which is why you will see a line out the door and a significant wait during most of the hours they are open. The food here is very good and exactly what you would want with omelettes, scrambles, french toast, pancakes, and their famous eggs Benedict options all on the menu and served in large portions. My gigantic pile of hash browns probably could have been a meal unto itself but I was pretty hungry so I was able to polish it off as well as my two eggs, sausage, bacon, and toast. This is classic breakfast stuff here, so light eaters need not apply unless you are wanting something to share or looking to take home leftovers. The service here was good with friendly people quickly getting to all the tables for orders, water refills, and whatever else might be needed as well as seating people right as they came in. I was lucky to be here when there was no line and even got to pick from my choice of available tables so I nabbed one along the windows to watch the always entertaining residents of Capitol Hill walk by while I was enjoying my meal. Somebody tell me how I could live three blocks from Glo's for a year and a half and not stop in for breakfast until just recently! Now that this problem has been fixed, I can say that it will not take me anywhere near that long for my second visit. read more

Come here for the Eggs Benedict -- they are glorious. I had the California Eggs Benedict with Avocados and Spinach and it was really well made. The Hollandaise sauce is flavourful and I just couldn't get enough. They are open from midnight on Saturday and Sunday so if you're having a late night out and get hungry for some breakfast food, this is a great choice. Service is friendly and quick - I have no complaints. We had to wait for 10-12 minutes to get a table, but they were happy to get our name on a list so we can come back when the table's ready. They also give out free coffee if you're waiting to get your table which definitely earns points in my book. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely go here for brunch when I'm in town next. read more

Good food for a good price. I always have good service here, and I come here every time I visit Seattle (so far I have been here about 4 times). Refills on coffee comes quickly and I have never had anything bad from here. The interior is not too big, cozy, but who wants to eat at a cafeteria anyways? I'll be coming back the next time I am in Seattle! read more

Glo's - ??? - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've been wanting to go to Glo's since I moved to Seattle about 6 months ago. There's a line out the door every morning on the weekends - even on days when the weather is really gross. There's tons of other breakfast places in capitol hill without lines, so this place must be amazing, right? This morning I finally got to go to Glo's (Made it on a Monday to skip the lines). I had the one-egg breakfast with bacon. It was a solid breakfast, cooked well, and flavorful. However, it was nothing special. Another yelper said this place was more of a Seinfeld-breakfast-place than a trendy Seattle one, and I couldn't agree more. It's down to earth, and exactly what is advertised. No fancy dishes like a lot of Seattle breakfast joints have (perhaps there are and I overlooked them), but the menu seemed more like an I-hop menu (granted, the food was better :) ) One thing I appreciated were the hash browns that came with the meal - most places in Seattle serve home-fries in place of hash browns. Glo's sticks with the classic shredded, fried potatoes. Maybe I would be convinced to stand outside in the mornings if I'd had the eggs benedict that everyone else on yelp raves about, but I'll stick to other breakfast places on the weekends, and maybe I'll hit up Glo's again if I happen to get up early enough during the week. read more

Good place for breakfast or brunch when it's not overly packed. The salmon was very fresh and delicious on the salmon eggs Benny. Hollandaise sauce was pretty good I got it on the side so it wouldn't be drenched and it was good not writing home about it though. Pretty good potatoes but not great. Glo's is good and I will go back if it's easy but it's usually packed. read more

Glo's - Salmon eggs Benedict with Hollandaise on side - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We have come here almost every other weekend for a year, and not once I have been disappointed. We always called ahead and asked to be put in the waitlist. They do not take reservations and wait is almost always an hour, so calling an hour before you want to get here is ideal. I start off with coffee and coffee cake which attentive waiters would keep filling up so my coffee is always hot throughout my meal. I would follow up with their original eggs Benedict. The ham is thick and Hollandaise is to die for. I'm salivating even thinking about it. The potato hash is always crisp but there is a lot of it. Consider substituting for a fruit for healthier option. Their seasonal scrambles are great too. But if you can get the best Benedict in Seattle, why order anything else? :) read more

A very cute and picturesque setting for brunch. The service was nice and good, but the food was very average. I ordered a screwdriver and French toast with scrambled eggs on the side. This was somewhat disappointing because the food looked better than it tasted. I would not return because I definitely had better tasting breakfast food. Overall 5.5/10 experience. read more

I'm getting all heart-eyed just thinking about that smoked salmon Benedict. Oooh, it was so incredible. Waiting: I did not have to wait on a midweek morning around 9 AM, but the diner was nearly at capacity. I elected to not sit near the two restrooms. Atmosphere: Compact, homey space. The Postal Service's Give Up was playing on the stereo. It was a little chilly inside. Service: I was tended to by two women who worked to make sure I was satisfied with everything. Food: The smoked salmon Benedict ($15.95) was scrumptiously rad. Glo's doesn't skimp on the fish, I'm satisfied to report, and the hollandaise was killer. The hash browns were thin and crispy, as well as buttery. Very buttery. Yum. The purple cabbage and orange slices were nice extras. Conclusion: I will be holding the smoked salmon benny close to my heart for a long, long time. read more

Definitely worth the one hour wait. The place is small with 6-7 small tables but the servers were friendly and food came out pretty fast. We ordered biscuit and veggies gravy and a vegetarian omelette. The biscuit was fluffy and the gravy had nice flavors. Next time we will probably order to go. This is one of our favorite breakfast spot now. read more

I'm got the Eggs Benedict to go. They added avocado (I am assuming they gave me the wrong order) which I had to scrape off because it was just mushed, watery and brown. They gave me a half full small container (my thumb for size reference) of "hollandaise" sauce. It didn't even full cover one eggs as shown. After eating a bite I soon realized that the container was actually butter or margarine (my partner for pancakes) so they must've accidentally put it in there. Over all this place is just careless with their orders and it's not worth the money. read more

I'm going to be completely upfront. I came in here fully expecting to order pancakes because that's my new thing. Pancakes. All day, everyday. But! The french toast special sounded too good to pass up. I hadn't ordered french toast in quite some time so I was a little hesitant. However, with the words blueberry and streusel I couldn't say no. What came out was not a streusel laden plate of french toast, instead it was about 8 triangular pieces of bread topped with blueberries and powdered sugar. It looked good but it definitely wasn't what I was expecting. The bread was blueberry though, so that was pretty cool. It upped the blueberry ratio and it was pretty tasty. Did I finish more than half of my plate in 5 minutes? Yes. Was I satisfied with this french toast? Not exactly. Glos is small but it has the diner feel to it. We got here at around 730am on a Thursday and it was a little busy, I can see why it's a locals spot. The waitress knew some of the patrons (by name and what they usually order) who came in too. read more

This is still the best breakfast in town! Definitely one of my go-to places when I have guests in town. The new location has so many improvements- counter space for singles, lots more tables, coffee bar. There is still a line (it is that good) but the wait is more pleasant being off the street and with seating. Unfortunate fact of life is the pricing, I go once a month now. read more

Appearance. Old and dingy. Place wasn't kept clean, I was expecting better based on the reviews. Food. Kind of yummy. Presentation on everything was beautiful. Pancakes were good but not super fluffy. My poached egg came out cold (I'll talk more on that in the next portion of this review). Every entree came out with a grapefruit Supreme which is a nice touch. Hash browns were nothing special. Stuffed French toast was pretty amazing (like a 9 out of 10). The biscuits and gravy were boring and heavy. They had some mushrooms in it and that was nice but it was a tad bland. Service. Omfg. Do you like rude red hair Bob cut women? Do you enjoy long waits (outside and inside the restaurant)? Do you enjoy your cooks making only one ticket at a time? Do you enjoy getting your food microwaved? Do you like little to no sanitation standards? Note: if you say "yes" to those questions, you're a certified brainwashed hipster and would love this place. If you say "no" to any of this, please, take my advice and go somewhere else. read more

Food was great, however there was barely any real "service". The dining area is outdoor, and do not expect a fancy environment.

Have to say, was a little let down on this one. Came for the smoked salmon Benedict, which was quite good, but failed to live up to the hype of being one of Seattle's premier breakfast options. This is especially true considering the high cost and long wait time. Sadly don't think I'll be returning. read more

Glo's - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place is one of the best in my books. It has so many options for my, veggie and not so veggie, friends to be able to all go to. It's location is great and the food has been outstanding. (For those of you who had indifferent food here you may need to explore your palette a little more) If you come during peak times it's all about the wait. You grab a cup of joe and hang outside w/ your group and chat.(not with your cell phone) Then you get inside and get to smell all the great aroma's of all the cookin' going on. If you're not used to veggie foods, go slow or you may not be used to the tastes you get. My veggie friends love it! Finally, your plate is served up. I love getting the fruity waffle. One summer it was so loaded w/ fresh fruits and berries it took 20 min for me to get to the waffle. .... Oh and the coffee firm and strong. (I think I may pop over there now!!!) read more

My first time and it was delicious. I had the frittata with fruit side, and there are no big chunks of melon, there were kiwi slices, blueberries strawberries supremes segments of orange & grapefruit. The eggs are added to already roasted vegetables so every frittata is fresh - not a microwaved warmed over. My partner had the canned beef hash, and it was dang tasty too. Right off the Light Rail & in the middle of the Sunday Farmers Market. I will go again. read more

Great little cafe with really really good food and reasonable prices. Portions are large. The wait can be long, but well worth it. The service is good when they get to you. This is a place you need to come to and just relax and have some patience, as no one is hustling here and they seem to purposely understaff the place. Other than that, we really enjoyed it. read more
