One of my favorite coffee places ever!…read more I am so very lucky to have access to a coffee place like this so close! Located in downtown Everett, it makes a great stop for a day out. The interior is very cute and and I often see people studying and working here as they have comfortable chairs, wifi, and good food to go along with their drinks. They offer a good variety of drinks and none of them have ever let me down. My absolute favorite drink to get there is the Cafe All Black which is such a deep and rich chocolatey coffee drink. I am a sweet drinks person and this one is amazing. They also have super cute cups if you are dinning in and overall great vibes. The service here is so great. It is family owned and run and your drink is brought straight to where you are sitting so there is no need to stand and wait or be alert for your name. Stop by if possible and I would say it is also worth the drive too if it isn't a stop!

I've been wanting to try their chocolate chip cookie but it's never ready when I've gone. Their burrito is delicious though, it's packed and super filling, not to mention the sauces are the best part! I wish they gave a little more as I end up finishing the sauces before the burrito is done because they're sooo tasty with the burrito. I also wish they had other meat options other than bacon. They don't have chicken add ins but other than that it's a great place! I've also had their biscuit and jam, but that's just ok. I wouldn't get it again. It's not that tasty or memorable. There's lots of seating, food is ready fairly quickly, service is great and employees are friendly, and parking right outside. So convenient!

I've been a frequent customer of Narrative Coffee for the past year and a half because of its nice…read moreatmosphere and its location. However, and I'd like to share my feedback on my experiences. - The food is decent, though it's often prepared for presentation rather than taste. It frequently arrives cold. - The coffee and tea are overpriced and tastes mediocre. - for instance, I paid $8 for a 4-ounce mix of espresso and orange juice that made my stomach hurt. - I also paid nearly $7 for the "peach blossom tea" and ended up getting 3/4 cup of ice, packet tea, and sweetener in a cup. - I've tried nearly everything on the drink menu and nothing is 'great' - The wait time for an order is incredibly long, and the employees are often distracted and preoccupied with other tasks, making it difficult to get my order taken. Overall, go to narrative for the ambiance and food, NOT the drinks.

I'm so curious how it was when it was first built as the space has been redone over the years and the history behind it! Our server was kind! Simple menu too. My bf loved his breakfast burrito and I decided on a sausage and mushroom omelette. It wasn't bad but it was greasy and maybe that makes the whole experience like the greasy spoon. They also have meals I believe for lunch and dinner that include burgers, shakes and fries. Classic diner vibes for sure!

Stopped by for Sunday brunch and the restaurant was absolutely packed, so we were pleasantly…read moresurprised that the wait was only about 10 minutes. Everything we ordered was excellent -- especially the coffee, hash skillet, and crab Benedict. The homemade raspberry jam was so good I ended up getting a small container to take the leftovers home with me. The coffee cake tray going around to tables also looked amazing and definitely caught our attention for next time. Portion sizes were very generous, and the service was quick and genuinely friendly despite how busy they were. It's definitely on the pricier side for brunch, but the quality, portions, and overall experience made it feel worth it.

I have visited this location a few times throughout the years for brunches and lunches. They are…read moreattentive with their service and wait times are reasonable. I never really felt compelled to write a review until now. I ordered the Woodin Creek salad two weekends in a row and had to comment on the missed quality of the greens. The first time I ordered the larger portion and was discouraged to order it again, so I got the smaller portion hoping the quality could be better controlled. I always order dressings on the side and it truly is for this reason alone, you can observe the freshness of the salad bed. This was from the salad this past weekend but the one prior was no different. Having to eat around my food, having it placed to the side and our servers not addressing the clear quality issues is disheartening. Green goo in our salad is a no-go for us.

My wife wanted a lighter breakfast so went with the continental breakfast which came with eggs to order, banana bread, and fruit. The huevos rancheros was very tasty! It's definitely something that I would order again, although I would still like to try the avocado toast as well. At many other tables, I could see traditional breakfast fare such as french toast or pancakes that also looked tasty. My wife gave me a taste of the banana bread and it was delicious! Thick cut like texas toast, and much less dense than homemade banana bread that I am used to. Alas, the server said they might discontinue it, and that they didn't have a recipe but probably ordered it. Shame, now I must find this delicious banana bread! This is a small local chain, but I certainly wish they had a franchise down in the Portland area!

Service 5 stars. Food 2 stars…read more I really wanted to like this place, my daughter has cello lessons a few minutes away and we hoped it would be our mini date spot. I got a steak and eggs, and it was so disappointing, texture felt like I was chewing on a piece of leather, for $21 it was not worth it at all and honestly I doubt my steak was 6oz. My husband got the sandwiches and said they were nothing special and that $14 was way too expensive for what he got.

Rye squeakeasy was very strong but to my personal preference. I imagine too strong for the majority of folks. They had a rhubarb special going. Colleague had the rhubarb special halibut - sauce per them was a bit sweet for their preference. The cioppino was good and price wise maybe a better value than the rest of the menu. Came with lots of seafood. It was on the bit of the saltier side for my preference - the sweetness of the seafood was lost to the salt. Free parking (plenty) in the lot.

Apparently there is no point in making a reservation. We had to wait for a table despite having made a reservation, which brings this restaurant down to the level of fast food or greasy-spoon diner - very disappointing. I see this as a huge failure of management. If someone arrives on time for their reservation, they should be seated immediately, no excuses. Failing this shows a complete disregard for and disrespect of the customer. It is a reservation, not a general comment that we might arrive. Kudos to the chef(s) for very good food and to the busser who seemed to grasp customer service better than others. There is room for improvement on table / reservation management, to put it mildly.

I appreciate that they add layers of toppings in the middle so you have plenty of toppings throughout the dessert, however, I thought the strawberry syrup they use was too sweet and the mochi on the injeolmi was stale. Other than that, it was pretty standard, nothing special. Service was friendly and there's a parking garage in the building. Fairly small spot so there's a few tables and bar seating.

I got an order of their pulled pork breakfast burrito, which I've never tried before. Traditionally, it comes w your choice of pancakes or toast/hashbrowns. They let me upgrade the regular buttermilk pancakes to their lemon blueberry ones. Ultimately, the total came out to around $27.50 after tax/tip (I "only" tipped $2 since I was picking up). Ok so here are my ratings: - service 5/5 - burrito 3.5/5 - pancakes 4/5 - price 3/5 The burrito was solid. I just wish their was more to it. Like maybe some veggies or spice or pico or anything lol. The pancakes were the best part of the meal. You really don't even need to add syrup since it comes w the lemon cream cheese frosting on top and in between each of the 3 pancakes. The combination of that lemon + blueberry was ono and that's coming from a guy who typically doesn't choose lemon style desserts.

The sausage links and hash browns were decent. Portions were big! Service: outstanding! Our server was friendly and attentive. Ambiance: comfortable seating, and clean restrooms For $70 and change for a party of two, I expect food that tastes better than what I can make at home. If you want to spend this kind of money on a breakfast that is outstanding, try George's in Kirkland.
