    Breakfast Bagel Sandwich
    Regina M.

    Love Katy's. This is one of the best parts of the neighborhood. I've been coming for a little over 4 years now. The service is always warm and friendly. The ingredients are top notch and always taste fresh. Guaranteed cheese pull with every sandwich! I love the little cafe tables outside as well. A walk to Katy's is essential for a magical sunday.

    OH MY! On my way to my dr appt. I saw the sandwich board advertising this breakfast sandwich. It was a painted sign! After my appointment I circled back to get breakfast. It was SO good, that I had to pause to take a picture. The folks inside were laughing with customers, but that is not stop them from greeting me as soon as I opened the door. The exterior is fun and the eclectic with fun paintings in the walls. The vanilla chai is as great too. I should have asked for low-fat milk but I opted for almond milk. It was still very yummy, but a little thick. Pictured is my cup, but their cups are HAND-DESIGNED with hearts. I forgot to add I had a cookie too. Oh my!! Impressive!! I'll know for next time. I will definitely be back!

    Stopped in for a coffee and bagel sandwich. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The drip coffee was really good. I don't say that lightly as most drip coffee is just okay but this was really tasty. The sandwich was good and the ingredients were fresh and delicious.

    Breakfast Bagel Sandwich
    Roz A.

    We ordered a breakfast sandwich and a smoothie at Katy's. They don't really have a kitchen, it's more like a coffee house with a small food/snack menu. They offer bagel sandwiches but the bagels are store bought and the bacon/egg isn't made to order. Not a huge deal, just not what I want for an $11 breakfast sandwich. The bagels they use (Blazin' Bagels) are dense and chalky and the smoothie was just okay, it wasn't very creamy. The inside of Katy's has a cute vibe (we loved the wall of mug shots!) but the space is incredibly small, so if you go on a weekend, you'll most likely be sitting or standing shoulder to shoulder with other customers because they only have 3 tables and no separate space to wait for take-out. If anyone is speaking out loud, you're almost certainly going to hear their entire conversation. The service is always lovely, they have very kind & helpful people working behind the counter. I would come back for coffee!

    Katy's is a gem of a coffee shop to locals here! I walked in and saw freshly baked chocolate chip cookies which I couldn't resist to get. I had one of those and probably one of the best hemp milk lattes of my life to pair with it. When I like to think of local coffee shop gems, I definitely think of Katy's.

    Place was super convenient to stop by for food and drinks. Although it seemed like we were the only ones ordering, our food took a while to be prepared. My boyfriend noticed they even got his order wrong, put ham instead of bacon, which was okay because we haven't left yet so he went back and they gladly changed it. But it just seemed like they weren't paying attention. Drinks were sooo good though, highly recommend the chai tea (spicy or vanilla!).

    We swung by Katie's Cafe for a takeout coffee. Currently they are offering takeout through their window. We tried the seasonal eggnog latte which was one of the best eggnog lattes I've had in a long time!

    tl;dr the juicy Caribbean pork sandwiches at this revived Seattle mini-chain live up to the…read morelegendary hype Un Bien is arguably Seattle's most popular sandwich joint, and its dramatic history begins with Cuban chef Lorenzo Lorenzo and his initial shop, Paseo. Lorenzo opened Paseo in 1994, where his popular Cuban roast pork sandwiches were regarded as among the best in the country. After years of local expansion, Paseo abruptly filed for bankruptcy in 2014. The brand was subsequently bought out by a local entrepreneur, but the sale did not include Paseo's secret recipes (the reboot attempted to reverse engineer the sandwiches with varying success). So, in 2015, Lorenzo's sons revived Paseo under a new name, Un Bien, armed with their father's original recipes. Nowadays, Un Bien is generally regarded as superior to Paseo, and you can grab their Caribbean sandos at one of the three locations across Seattle. You can't miss the pastel pink-and-teal palette of the original shack on an otherwise drab block of Ballard. As you approach the wooden window, you are greeted by the aroma of sauteed meats and veggies. Communal laquered wood benches are lined up underneath a covered pergola. Fifties hits ring respectfully around the kitchen. My partner and I visited for late weekday lunch, and we ordered immediately. We opted to focus on the signature pork shoulder, so we split the #1 Caribbean Roast and #2 The Press. Across both sandwiches, we were impressed by the tender pork, rich onions, lemon-forward aioli, and marinade-soaked baguette. The standard roast pork sandwich added on pickled jalapenos and crisp romaine, culminating in a dynamic flavor that accentuated the meat. Meanwhile, The Press featured tart banana peppers, smoked ham, and melty Swiss, amping up the sweet and savory flavors alike; we agreed that this extra-messy sandwich just edged out the standard version. Our order took just minutes to be prepared, and the bill just topped $30. Despite the fanfare, I still found myself surprised by just how satisfying Un Bien's sandwiches turned out to be. Across all the food I ate in Seattle, only these pork sandwiches would be worth a return visit, even if I had to venture out of my way.

    Messy, pricey, totally overrated…read more My family and I visited Un Bien and arrived approximately 45 minutes before closing. We ordered promptly, but were told we would only have about 10 minutes to use the seating area before it closed. When we asked for clarification because the restaurant was advertised as being open until 9:00 PM, staff confirmed they were open until then but said the seating area would close earlier anyway. After receiving our food, we were told not to sit down and were asked to leave the seating area altogether. The interaction felt abrupt and discourteous, especially given that we had arrived well before closing and had purchased food with the expectation that we could eat on-site. The food itself was average, but the poor customer service and inconsistent messaging about seating left a much stronger impression than the meal. There are other better places. Skip.

Finally moved back and got to try it. I've had my eyes on the Fast Eddie ever since I heard about this place because it was one of the most recommended sandwiches. The ambiance was alright. Pretty dark imo but maybe because it was just after Christmas and they had their holiday decor up. Also the bar area was closed. I was a bit confused on where to order until I realized there were kiosks by the front counter. It would've been nice if one of the workers actually had said something to me. Anyway, onto the food. I got the Fast Eddie with fries and it was alright. The meat was bit dry. Yes there was the au jus to dip in and it helped quite a bit, but all the flavors just didn't mesh. It was basically an ordinary french dip. The fries were okay, but the jalapeno aioli was great! That made everything better, but not enough to save the sandwich. Not sure if I would come back, but I would definitely try a different sandwich. One that caters more to my taste buds

Located in the Seattle Center Armory, along with many other food vendors, Big Mike's Sandwich Company is serving up huge cheesesteaks, chopped cheese, and other East Coast-style subs. For $25, I picked up the cheesesteak and fries combo. Not a terrible price for the portion. Waited about 10-15 minutes for the sandwich to come out. You order on a tablet here, and then they call your name. It's a small storefront, so you really have to stay nearby to hear your name being called in the large space that is the Armory. Not much interaction with staff. Plenty of seating throughout the Armory, though shared with other restaurants. The food came out piping hot. Obviously, they cook everything fresh to order because the inside of the fries was like lava. The fries were thick-cut and seasoned to perfection. The sandwich was good. I thought some pieces of the steak were a bit tough, and the roll seemed a bit over-steamed or possibly stale. A good sandwich and decent portion, nonetheless. I'm still going 5 stars here. I think Big Mike's is a great choice if you want a hearty, meat-filled sandwich and you happen to be in the area. However, I think you could be happy with another dining option in the Armory, too. My kids loved the MOD Pizza nearby. While there isn't anything wildly unique going on at Big Mike's, they are still pushing out great sandwiches at reasonable prices with a no-frills ordering process.

The meatball sub was hearty and comforting, while the eggplant sub had a rich marinara sauce that worked well with the sandwich. We were especially disappointed that the Cubano was sold out, as it was one of the main reasons we stopped by. The only drawback was the price--at around $20 per sandwich, it felt a bit expensive for what you get, especially considering it was just a 6-inch sub, even though the quality was good. We visited during a FIFA World Cup match, so the line was quite long, but it moved steadily and efficiently. No complaints there. The atmosphere is casual and straightforward, with indoor seating only. Its downtown location near the stadiums makes it a convenient spot for a quick meal before or after an event. Overall, a good sandwich shop with quality food, though the pricing keeps it from being a must-visit. I'd still come back to finally try that Cubano.

This place doesn't screw around. If you want a great, hearty, flavor-packed sandwich, this is one of the best places to throw your money. But, as others have pointed out, it's no cheap date: expect to pay over $20 for one of those mighty pastrami sandwiches. This isn't Subway so you're not saving money by eating here, but after one bite of their pastrami you'll understand why you're paying so much. Quality isn't cheap. I'd say this place is tied with Tat's Deli for the best sandwiches in Seattle.
