Service was excellent, and servers were constantly checking on tables and clearing off tables from which patrons had vacated. I can't see any reason to deduct a star.

I am a staunch cheese pizza enthusiast, however when I discovered Sound2Summit a few years ago on…read moremy trip to Everett I was completely sold on the Pork and Pine. It is like their other menu offerings reviewed here --a standout. I travel around the state of Washington and want to say, this place's menu and beer keep me coming back and ditching my cheese pizza tendencies. Overall a great taproom vibe with a great menu to pair with the award winning beers. So, you might be asking, after all these years, why a review now? They have achieved the trifecta in the restaurant review tonight. Awesome service. I called in my usual order, the pork and pine and headed there. I don't know who was working the the register, but he is owed accolades for their kindness, authenticity, and general "good vibes" he brought to the experience. Accolades for just that? Yes. Yes. And yes. For those who are skeptics, it really makes a difference and this review is proof of that. Job well done.

My friend moved to downtown Everett last year and is still exploring the area. She told me about…read morethe vegan joint nearby that she hadn't been to yet. We're both omnivores who eat a fair amount of plant-based fare for health reasons (I have allergies and intolerances, she's heeding doctor's advice). To be clear, this is a cafe, not a full blown restaurant. They serve luncheon fare, but it's a small operation so be either patient to don't bother - especially if there's a line. It's counter ordering with payment expected in advance. The tables closest to the window are a *little* harrowing because of the ADA ramp that leads to the door: the closest chairs can teeter down the ramp if the chairs are pushed back too far. Be careful. There are huge, regular, and small tables available. The biggest table is a little tricky to navigate for folks who want to sit in the booth side, but once seated it's quite lovely. I ordered the Pesto Pasta (involving zoodles: zucchini noodles) and a Sun Juice. My friend ordered the Grilled Cheese and Bisque. Please note: it's worth looking around this place while waiting for your food. You can conceivably get your own water, napkins and cutlery if you walk far enough along the counter towards the back of the restaurant. Back there, you may also notice a single-occupancy restroom and bins for bussing your own dishes. The Sun Juice arrived first, freshly blended, and was delicious. If that's what their juice is like, I look forward to exploring their smoothie offerings. My pasta arrived looking BEAUTIFUL on a bed of spinach, and smelled just as good. It tasted a teensy bit more of salt than I would've liked, but then I speared a sun dried tomato with my next bite and remembered that I'm not a food critic, just a happy customer. Although I'm not generally a fan of zoodles, they seemed to have the art of cooking them down pat: they didn't distract from the pesto at all. The bisque had an artful design of (coconut? cashew?) cream on top. My friend was delighted to note that it was a bit of spice to it: nothing challenging, but just enough for her to find comforting. Given the light and airy look of the inside and the rather rustic / flower-child look of the outside, she was not expecting that surprise. She was so impressed with the grilled cheese sandwich that she offered me a bite: we were both quite impressed with the "cheese" they used, as the item was listed as vegan on the menu. My friend kept whining that she's doomed, as they're close to where she lives *and* they deliver. Oh, yeah - poor her, indeed. Alas, alack, and so on.

Recently, maybe over the last two years, have noticed the bread cubes sold around thanksgiving by PCC have been rancid, so bad smelling. I was able to return them but super inconvenient. More recently this last week purchased two "pumpkin" pies. Not really pumpkin, more like ginger snap cookie flavor which is okay but there is something in it that gave me stomachs cramps. I tested it out and yep, it's the pie. Unclear what's in it as all the ingredients I've had before. Sadly I will not be buying yet another item. I really want to support a local biz but the product isn't what it used to be. Miss her chocolate cake with strawberries and the lemon pound cakes!

We have to begin by describing the vibe here -- I was picking up 80's Coffee House Vibes -- kinda…read morelike Everett's version of the Last Exit. (gotta climb in the Wayback Machine for that gem!) I loved that I saw at least six versions of my childhood dining room table, which felt so nostalgically comfortable that I wanted to crawl under one with my coloring books and my chocolate milk. But I digress -- you're supposed to be reading my review. I decided that I was in the mood for grilled cheese and tomato soup, so that's what I ordered. The tomato soup is really amazing -- so fresh tasting and delicious. But the sandwich was next level nom-ness. I opted to get it on sourdough because it's the best for dunking into the soup. Totes 'lish (I just thought I would type like one of the cool kids!! In conclusion, I want to talk about the service -- ordering was fairly simple, and the varied menu made it exciting to know there are so many choices. You order in line and the incredible wait staff brings the food quite quickly. With the vibe, the service and all the things, I am definitely coming back.

As you pass through the threshold, you're confronted with a chalkboard listing the specials of the…read moreday. It definitely worked on me - usually specials are relegated to a small corner of the menu, but here they are front and center. I couldn't resist and so I got the Pot Roast Dip. It's a sandwich that has a good amount of pot roast, some bacon jam that's glued together with provolone and Swiss cheese all on a Giuseppe roll (From Macrina Bakery? It's a crust roll). The bacon jam and sandwich dressing makes the sandwich really sweet, but the Angus sauce is very salty, and so when the sandwich is dipped it all balances out interestingly enough. It was good to try, but I think I'll order something else next time. I also got a Mocha latte- very smooth and delicious. I would get this again! Their bathrooms are shared with the rest of the building - the code is at the cashiers. The wifi password is right next to it too. You grab a menu, wait in line to order, and then they bring your food to you. Bus your own table when you're done. Solid spot.

Starting with positives: staff friendly, service fast, place was clean. Chai latte was very yummy!…read more However.. their breakfast "sandwich" was $12... it was really bad. the bagel was rubbery, not fresh.. egg patty smothered in cheddar cheese and the "bacon" was legitimately bacon bits. I mean McDonald's McGriddle is honestly better than what I was given here. I didn't eat it.. texture, taste, all of it was awful. Chai latte was also $7. Steep pricing. ugh. WA state has horrible breakfast food.. I'm not sure what's up with that. I was really hoping this place would be somewhere to stop and get a reliable breakfast sandwich.

For as busy as they are they could use another staff member. They were friendly and provided great service, but at 9:30 am they were busy. Coffee, was good very mild, but I was thankful I didn't get it to go. I took the lid off to let it cool and it was literally filled to the brim. Had I taken a sip while walking I most likely would have dumped it on myself. The bacon breakfast burrito was good but light on the bacon. I broke open the burrito because I don't eat the tortilla and the bacon was hard to find.

What a fantastic Korean fusion restaurant located in the heart of downtown Everett…read more I tried the big bang sandwich. It's a spicy beef with a slaw served on a burger style bun. The meat reminded me of the spicy sauce that Korean spicy pork bulgogi is made from, but toned down a bit to not be as spicy. The slaw complemented the meat perfectly. This sandwich was just the right size and it came with a side of ruffles style potato chips. I'd like to try some of the other traditional Korean dishes the next time I come back.

Food came out quick, though we went for lunch during a work day so we were the only ones eating there. My friend got the kalbi (I thought it wasted ok) and I got the bulgogi which lacked flavor and there definitely wasn't enough rice to eat with the dish. We also got the egg rolls which were ok. For the price, you'd think they would be bigger or there would be more egg rolls. Overall, food was ok. I may be back to try other menu items.

Rhelynn, our server, was attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming without ever being overbearing. She was knowledgeable about the menu, checked in at all the right moments, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and very enjoyable. The custom cocktails were a standout. Becca clearly knows her craft--each drink was well‑balanced, creative, and thoughtfully prepared. You can tell there's real attention to detail and pride behind the bar. If you're on the fence about trying something custom, absolutely do it--you won't be disappointed. The food paired perfectly with the cocktails and rounded out a great overall experience. Between the quality of the drinks, the solid food, and the excellent service, Bluewater Distillery delivered across the board. We'll definitely be back and will be recommending this place to friends--especially if Rhelynn and Becca are working.

We…read moreasked if we could move the table a bit into the sun (an open spot 3' over) but were told no, which, ok its a big ask with a clunky umbrella attached to the table I get it... the large picnic table that was in the sun was also off limits for larger parties (which I also get). Anywho, tacos were ok, a little dry and light on the fillings. Clams were standard steamed in white wine, and good. I tried the 'Hot Shot' cilantro and jalapeño vodka cocktail which was ok - neither flavor (or spice) came through very much, if at all. I should've ordered a flight! Back to my crushed dreams of a patio-lunch-in-the-sun... a party of 4 was seated at the large picnic table (1 body more than us, and both parties couldve split the table its that spacious), AND they pulled a table from the other side of the patio and put it in the sunny spot we asked to sit in towards the end of our time there. As a service industry person myself, I wouldnt be so quick to offer an inside table instead of being minutely inconvenienced (we offered to move the table ourselves as well to be helpful), with a couple of 2-tops outside and 2 inside - they were not busy. Overall, not earth shattering, but neither was the food or drinks in comparison to the experience and bill sadly.

I rarely make it up to Snohomish, but now I have a reason to. This little cafe is mostly known for…read moretheir gluten-free baked goods, but their coffee is really something special. I tried their "Wild" coffee, and it has notes of watermelon that you can actually taste. I'd drive out of my way just for this coffee, it's that good. The staff are also great. My order got a little mixed up (switched the espresso types and put in to go cups), but the staff were super kind and righted it as soon as they realized. I only tried their cardamom ginger molasses cookie sandwich (delicious and not too sweet), but I'll absolutely be back to try some of their other gluten-free goodies!

Upon entering, i immediately noticed baked goods display and the drink menu. The case was filled with a bunch of interesting types of baked goods. On top of the rose cardamom latte, brioche tart and cardamom twist. We also got a savory scone and another item that escapes me. I enjoyed the savory scone the most. It had chives and bacon amongst other things. Great texture and not too dry. The brioche tart was a meal all on its own. Heavy and will put you to sleep. The cheese I think that was in there was gruyere but I could be wrong. I enjoyed it but definitely will splooge out if you down eat it on a plate with utensils. Eventually it does get monotonous for me. Recommend sharing it. Cardamom twist was the least favorite item. I'm not sure what it was but there was an essence of something in the background that threw the flavor off for me. I can't seem to describe it. The twist was slightly doughy/stodgy for me. Maybe part of an off batch. I typically do like cardamom centered things. This wasn't my favorite is all I can say. One suggestion I would hope gets implemented is cost of goods displayed for each item. I can say I was surprised at the total during check out. I do go to a lot of bakeries, cafes and artisanal shops. I always felt more at ease knowing what I was getting into from a financial standpoint. Tip is to look at their discounted items. They are a steal. They also have a rewards program that gets you a drink with every new sign up paired with a purchase I wish I had known prior to purchase as I was only able to spot signage at the register.
