    I am so glad Leon Coffee House has arrived to the neighborhood. I have worked in Capital Hill for several years and I have to say this place tops the last coffee house that resided here. The environment is inviting, Its PINK !! The coffee taste great and the food options are really good and priced really reasonably. For drinks my go to is a Chai with an extra shot of espresso. I have tried the chorizo in both the quesadilla and the croissant and I have to say the quesadilla is my favorite.

    I mean. I don't want to be the spoiler of good news but this place is the best. I had to finally write a review. Tasty pastries, sweets, drinks, AND banana splits? Get outta here. This place is the best and newest addition to the neighborhood. Love that it's BIPOC-owned and that it stays true to good service on the daily! Embarrassed to say that the ice cream lady might know us too well. It's a part of the retirement community of the Murano so you have a mix of elder residents, hospital workers, locals, and nonprofit workers. This place is a real community hub.

    I had been waiting for this cute, Latino-inspired coffee shop to open near my work. I've been twice since its opening on First Hill with their original location in the U-District. The ambiance is super cute with lots of pink, neon signs and a back room full of a rainbow of umbrellas. Plenty of space to spread out if you're looking for somewhere to work, or if youre in a rush but looking for a quick Insta-worthy photo opp, don't miss the column art. I've had the marzipan latte and the BLT. Both were decent overall. They also offer grab n go options. Staff is friendly but still working out the kinks. Soon they'll be selling freshly scooped ice cream too. Welcome to First Hill and congrats on your second store.

    Coffee and croissant

    The staff is really nice , and the coffee is good (comes with adorable latte art) but the food is actually horrendous. American cheese and cheap deli meat on a waffle is actually diabolical. I'd come for the coffee and pastries and leave the food behind.

    I like the ambience and the chicken tamale's! Very Cute place. Sometimes the service isn't the greatest but most of the time it's okay

    Came on around 10am on a random Thursday for a solo date. The ambiance is this place is lovely and the decor quite detailed. Ordered a small plate chorizo breakfast sammy and matcha latte. I wanted a taro latte but unfortunately they were out of it. I'm not a matcha connoisseur but I thought it was good and the art along with it was so cute! The chorizo breakfast sandwich is simple but good. I'd come again

    Customer service here was okay and the egg nog latte was delicious. The space is small yet cozy with enough seating and lots of vibrant colors. Overall, I'd come back here again and I recommend this location of Leon Coffee if you're ever on First Hill.

    Decided to try the strawberry shortcake waffle and let's just say it's was very delicious. The service is always great and the ambiance of the cafe is relaxing. It's a short walk from my apartment and it's always treat.

Vegetarian and pescatarian friendly as well. The staff are hard working and friendly. This place is busy but the wait isn't long. They offer both indoor and outdoor dining. You bus your own table but they bring the food out to you. Very modern, cozy, earthy, bougie atmosphere. I have ordered the turkey sandwich twice now as it's just that amazingly delicious. I order it with no remoulade as I'm picky and not a mayo fan so I order it with extra of the vinaigrette. Soooooo bombbbbb. The arugula, the turkey, just everything is so fresh and delectable. My mouth is watering writing this review. My man ordered the fried fish sandwich which I tried and wow....best fish sandwich we both have ever had. Soooo good. It was sold out my first visit here now I understand why it's so popular! I am so excited to return and try the French dip and mortadella in the future!

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

    Really good sandwiches!…read more I was visiting Seattle for work and during my break, I decided to go to the Armory for lunch. This was certainly a great choice, the food is excellent! I had their Philly Cheesesteak, which was awesome. Everything is cooked to order, so there is a slight wait after ordering, but it is certainly worth it. There are also seats and tables outside of the spot for you to eat at, it's shared with a few other restaurants. If you really want an exciting time, eat there while a Zumba is going on! Then you can people watch while enjoying your food.

We were able to get food on a Saturday around 4PM, and fortunately Big Mike's was one of the few places still open at the time. The armory is pretty accessible via the monorail, if you decide to drive, you will have to consider nearby streetside or venue/science center parking. Service is efficient - you place your order at the counter and they will call your name when your sandwich is ready. It took them about 10 minutes to get our sandwich out. There are plenty of tables just outside of the restaurant where you can dine. We got the ribeye cheesesteak for $23, which also came with a bed of fries just underneath the sandwich. The sandwich itself was piping hot, but just hot enough to enjoy without burning yourself. The steak was tender and had decent chew, sliced to a nice thinness. Personal preference, I would like the steak seasoned a bit more strongly as flavor-wise it does get a little one dimensional. This is definitely a touristy area part of town, and I would say that prices are pretty standard. For one person, you should be able to get a nice and filling portion for $18 - $23. I wouldn't consider this place a must visit if you are in Seattle - The flavors are decent and definitely will get you full in a pinch if you are really hungry and in the area.

We ordered the Meatball Sub and Eggplant Sub with marinara sauce. Both sandwiches were flavorful and satisfying. 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.

Their bagels are fabulous as is their lox. For those, like me, who can unhinge their jaw for an authentic pastrami or corned beef masterpiece. Go with the "Ding sized" sandwich. They'll make a smaller Seattle sized version as well for those who don't treat deli as an indulgence of rye and meat piled high. I wish they'd add kreplach to the menu (sorry Vance. I know my litany is old!) but I keep discovering new deliciousness here even after being a regular for nearly 4 years since my recovery from a life threatening illness, that I recovered from in part due to making regular stops here during my post surgical recovery. Just today I had the blintzes for the first time with their in house made cherry compote and sour cream. Amazing. Keep up the amazing work!!! My recommendation for newbies.

Bonus: this spot is kosher! Potato Latkes (5/5): These latkes are thick boys and fried up so they're piping hot when they hit the table. Because of their size, you really get the contrast of the hard crunch on the outside with super fluffy potato inside. So good we immediately turned around and ordered more. Chocolate Babka (2/5): This was truly the only miss I've had here. Unfortunately, the babka just really dries out after it's been sliced, which is a shame because it's just gorgeous with generous swirls of chocolate inside. Reuben (5/5): I really thought their pastrami couldn't be beat, but the brisket is dare I say better? Just as tender and feels a bit less fatty, so it's a little more crushable. Tip: go for the seeded rye over the marbled rye; something about the marbled rye just falls apart a bit more with the juices of the meat, though it's still delicious! Black & White Cookies (4/5): I expected this to be cloyingly sweet, but this was actually scrumptious with some fresh lemon flavor in the cookie itself. Absolutely massive as well.
