    Warm vanilla latte
    Christina G.

    Little Oddfellows offers a cozy and inviting spot for coffee lovers and book enthusiasts alike. I tried the warm vanilla latte, which had a good coffee flavor but a vanilla taste that was too subtle, so I added some honey to sweeten it up. The barista was nice, and my order came out quickly. Located inside Elliott Bay Book Company, it's a perfect place to find a book and then relax in the cozy atmosphere or bring a laptop and get some work done. The pastries looked delicious, and I'll definitely have to try them next time.

    Little Oddfellows is such a cute cafe tucked inside of Elliott Bay Book Co!! there's a decent amount of seating, and I had no problem getting a nice corner seat when I came on a Saturday night around 6:30pm. With that said I definitely think it gets a lot busier on a normal day! I ordered the 16oz seattle fog ($6.61) and I LOVED it!! there's something about tea and milk that is so yummy and comforting. I thought the flavor was great and i would definitely recommend getting this. I will say there's been one persisting issue -- their wifi has been down for months :( I last came to study here in february and was surprised it's still not fixed as it's april. the cashier told me it will be fixed sometime in june which is a pretty long process for a cafe that would otherwise be so ideal to study at. All in all, I absolutely love the aesthetic of the cafe and also the worker was friendly!! it's also so perfect that you can browse the bookstore while you're there. they also sold merch like tote bags which I thought was so cute!!

    Brown sugar cinnamon latte (hot)

    Brown sugar cinnamon latte (hot): A bit bland, more on the milky side, even for a latte. Brown sugar and cinnamon had balanced sweetness though! Cute cafe inside Elliot bookstore -- but there are lots of little 2 tables often busy and hard to find a spot. A bit crowded for cozy reading imo and wifi is a bit spotty. Would consider a revisit for new drinks next time I stop by the bookstore!

    Lots of pastries

    In February, I came to do some work on a weekday before lunchtime. The cafe is busy, most tables were taken. I got the Seasonal Beverage Strawberry Mocha and a cinnamon roll, which were both alright. The baristas were very nice. I hear people ordering sandwiches closer to lunch time. I like the vibe of this cafe inside a bookstore, it's quieter than a regular cafe.

    I love this cafe. The staff is extremely warm, welcoming, and Friendly. The space is great for working. I enjoyed the dim lighting and the design. They have happy hour from 5-7. I got white wine and it was nice. I haven't tried any food here but I plan on trying it next time.

    Seattle Fog
    Bonnie Y.

    I'm conflicted. On one hand, having a full cafe inside of Elliot Bay Bookstore is a genius, almost necessary move. Unless you're here on an early weekday, it's usually packed and lively; god help you if you're trying to get a seat after classes get out. Feels like folks from all over the city flock here; it's fantastic for people-watching, to see and be seen. The baristas are friendly and quick with drinks, even when it's busy. The Seattle Fog is a tasty spin on its cousins from across the pond. However, the drinks are rather overpriced. The bathrooms are ran through, but that's understandable with all the bookstore traffic. The WiFi is pretty awful, and was completely down the last two times I was here. It's not perfect, but it's a cozy and comfortable spot to include in your regular routine. Save me Little Oddfellows, Little Oddfellows save me, etc.

    A lovely quiet cafe to stop by with a friend to catch up about life, or to sip on coffee as you study or read a newly purchased book from Elliot Bay (the bookstore housing the cafe). You're really just here to study and read in a productive setting more so than to eat the food and coffees. I thought the 8oz latte was pricey - it was good though. Took the chicken salad to-go. It was okay, tasted healthy.

    Scone latte and muffin

    This is a cute little café inside of the bookstore. My friend and I didn't want to wait at Oddfellows for brunch so we grabbed a small bite and coffee here instead. They heat it up our pastries, but it wasn't warm enough in my opinion. I would recommend coming early as the place does fill up quite quickly. The ambience is a bit loud so I would suggest bringing headphones if you want to work.

    3 stars for my second-favorite cafe inside my favorite store in Seattle? What sense does that make?! Perfect sense when you consider: - there's never anywhere to sit (not their fault) - the glacial speed of the wifi (definitely their fault) Even so, I try most weekends to snag a spot. Reading or working in this cozy space, herbal tea in hand, after browsing the shelves for treasures, is a teeny tiny paradise. The vibes are right, if you get lucky enough to grab a seat and don't need modern wifi speeds.

    This coffee shop is Inside a bookstore. You can buy your book, get a coffee, and read it all in one stop! And you're surrounded by other book lovers! Yay! The coffee is good. The ambience is good. They do have food and pastries of which I didn't try. There's plenty of seating although some tables are wobbly so be careful not to spill your hot coffee on yourself! This bookstore is located in an area that can attract many tourists. It can be a bit loud especially if you get people on their first date hat do note use their indoor voice so you basically learn all about them (even when you didn't want to). Parking: Hard to find. Maybe Uber here. Dogs: Didn't see any

    Menu. Didn't get to order because of the rude "coffee maker". Too bad heard good things about the place.
    Joy F.

    Just went here and asked the "barista" short haired female a question and she has the attitude and asked very rudely "I'm sorry?" in a very snarky way. She could have asked in a different tone. Guess what, I'll take my business somewhere else where customer service is at least above par. Too bad from a visiting patron to have such a bad first experience. Good thing I haven't ordered yet that's why I was asking a question. Plenty of better cafes around with employees who know what customer service means.

    Flat white + Vegetarian Flat Bread Pizza
    Shirin B.

    Not sure why there's two Yelp links to the same Oddfellows location, but the one across from Cal Anderson Park has some delicious flatbread pizza. Yeah its a little on the pricier side, but its worth it, for that flatbread pizza. The caramelized onions paired with the Feta, I kinda died. I also got a flat white with almond milk which was pretty to look at but you could probably get better coffee in Seattle. Their food is delicious, and if their flatbread pizza says anything about the rest of their dishes, I can't wait to go back.

    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.

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.

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.

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.
