The cutest little neighborhood cafe around the Madison park/ valley area! It's tucked away and there isn't much room if you plan to sit and work on anything, but the food is AMAZING! Try the BLT, you won't be disappointed! They serve illy coffee and my latte the one time I had it was nothing great. The staff is generally pretty kind and do a good job at serving their customers. I love Madison kitchen and would recommend it to anyone just stopping by for brunch or lunch! read more

Well, what can I say about a place where I eat at least once a week, every single week, even with all of the other options around me? The food is delicious, there are healthy options, and it is consistently amazing every.single.time. The prices seem very reasonable for the quality. Please just don't order the chocolate chip cookies because sometimes when I go in after noon or so there are none left. We are usually getting take-out but can almost always find a seat even though seating seems fairly limited. The staff here is lovely and amazing. We have a two year old and I bring her here regularly and we feel welcome...but if she starts to get unruly we try to whisk her out as soon as we can, as we would do in any public place! read more

We come here once or twice a week for breakfast (breakfast sandwich), lunch (BLATT) and/or coffee (any!). We love this place. It is small, friendly and welcomes us even now with an unpredictable newborn and her cumbersome stroller. We love everything on the menu and their salads (broccoli, curry chicken, fruit). It's by far our most frequent stop in the neighborhood. We're thrilled they have extended their hours. read more

Really nice place. I got half sandwich and salad. Half of the madison st special sandwich, which was really great. Next time I am going to try the pulled pork sandwich because the lady next to me ordered that and it looked amazing. I can't wait to try more. Really nice staff, and fast service read more

Just finished a meatloaf sandwich at Madison Kitchen. Terrific. The tomato jam added the perfect tang and sweetness. The atmosphere is comfortable and the wait just right for a hot sandwich. I wish I lived closer. read more

Great food and setting for breakfast/lunch, afternoon coffee, and takeout for later. Across and a few doors up from the Madison Park playground/tennis courts. The food and service gives the place a "homemade" appeal. I recommend their gluten-free pumpkin muffin, chocolate crinkle cookies, and if you like pastry, any flavor of kouign amman (pronounced like "queen amman") if they have it that day. The packaged-daily brown sugar shortbread sea salt caramel cookies are amazing. On the savory side, the chicken enchiladas, broccoli salad, and weekend menu are always good. You can order from the menu, or pre-made items, but either way please be patient with the super nice staff. read more

Really a wonderful new place. Great sandwiches which are not your usual turkey and cheese. Love the Brussel sprout dish and others in the case. Turkey meatloaf is a favorite of our kids. Interesting wines if you eat in. It's also a really nice space open and light. We got sandwiches for our drive to whistler and I'm still thinking about them! read more

I love this place. Great food, great coffee. I have had their pastrami reuben twice, and it is wonderful. They have yummy baked goods, and delicious salads. And they serve Illy coffee, which is a plus. But what is making me write this review is their INCREDIBLE breakfast sandwich. I just finished it. OH MY GOD. It was the best breakfast sandwich I have EVER had. The arugula and the herbed aioli on it elevated it from a really good sandwich to something straight from heaven. And it is served with fresh fruit! YUMMY!! I may get another one tomorrow. read more

I would never expect a simple egg sandwich to warrant a glowing review, but Madison Kitchen did it right. We asked for our eggs poached, which they gladly accepted, and the result were fabulous. I'd return for the egg sandwich alone. The decor on the northeast wall is somewhat lacking and I agree with a previous review, that there's a lack of atmosphere (even though it's not unpleasant) which is the reason for a 4-star review. Overall, a great place for a light brekky! read more

So, I really like this place. The food is great, the coffee as well and it's a nice atmosphere. The owner/manager would understand this and will know that it's me when I say this but: "the food here makes me want to smack my momma!" My one complaint is that the service is pretty slow. They often only have one person taking your order, who then has to prepare your drink, ring you up and sometimes get your food. There are people in the kitchen working hard on food prep, but it would be nice if they were attentive enough to come out and assist the main server to see if they can get any food or such ready for them. They do this at many cafes since some coffee drinks take time to do right. And, I've actually stopped going there when I know I just need a drip or a piece of food to go, since I know I'll be waiting too long. I hope this helps this great cafe get even better. read more

I work a half block from Madison Kitchen, and have been a regular since they opened. It has a great neighborhood feel and cozy ambience. They always have a good variety of healthy, organic, freshly made salads, sandwiches and more. The staff let you let you sample their soups and salads, and are extremely friendly. While I have enjoyed everything I have tried on the menu, the MK egg sandwich is literally the best breakfast sandwich I have ever had. I now find myself almost unable to eat other breakfast sandwiches because I always compare it this. I'm not sure what the secret is....it could have something to do with the basil aoli. If you want a fast, fresh, organic breakfast or lunch in Madison Park, this is the place to go. read more

"Honest, Humble food" at High prices! I was shocked at the bill for take-out lunch that consisted of 2 small salads, 2 pieces of chicken, 2 cookies and a brownie. The salads were $8 and $9.56 (small take-out size), the chicken was $8.95 EACH slice! The oatmeal cookies were $2/each and the brownie was $3.25. Total: 46.01! The food was pretty good (brownie had dried out edges) but very overpriced. read more

Food and service are good not great. I order mocha and meatloaf. Mocha was great, but meatloaf was cold.

Favorite lunch spot in Madison Park! Highly recommend the salad trio or panko chicken but you really can't go wrong with anything here. Delicious fresh food and service is always friendly and fast. read more

Awesome grown up grilled cheese sandwich. Was a little disappointed as I've purchased this sandwich before and it was around $10 ( which is still a little over priced but would still splurge because I loved it). Today I went in and my bill came out to 12 something?!?! For a take out grilled cheese! I was shocked. Not to mention they did not update it or have that price online. It says 9.95. With tip it came out to 13 something. I know a few bucks isn't worth saying anything, but had I known I was about to drop 13 bucks for a grilled cheese I would not have came here . I called to ask what that was about and the guy just mentioned that they had not updated their menu. You should honor what's posted anyways, but that's just me. It's unfortunate because I work up the street and I loved coming for lunch, but there's no way to justify paying 13 bucks and some change for a grilled cheese. Update : Ended up being that I was accidentally over charged due to a mistake. Owner was kind enough to treat me to a free sandwich for the hassle and due to getting over charged. Thank you for the gesture . Glad prices didn't go up on my sandwich ! Will definitely be back :) read more

I don't know about the reviewer below who claimed a sandwich here could feed a whole football team. The old deli, maybe one of their sandwiches could. But a sandwich at MK no longer fills me up for lunch. Its a great menu, great space, but if I'm going to pay that price for a sandwich I want a deli-sized one, not thin offerings on smaller than avergae bread slices. This is not high tea. The place is fantastic otherwise, but please, bring back the filling sandwiches, fit for taking over to the park or beach for a picnic! read more

Their food is decent, though not spectacular. If I am starving and in a hurry I will stop in here, as the curry chicken salad is pretty good. But I do expect to leave grumpy due to the prices. I got their soup and salad combo, which was $12.50 for their smallest containers ($2 extra for chicken). Then it was $2.50 (maybe $2.75) for a can of diet coke. After tip, the total was near $20; you can go to QFC and get deli food that is of equal quality, but you get a third item, for $7 or $8 (in comparison). read more

Amazing muffins (I recommend the pumpkin one) and other assorted pastries. Can't comment on sandwiches and soup but they look great too!

I came here for a late lunch because it was really close to my new home and their sandwiches were really good. You can custom make one or order a specialty sandwich. I chose to get a custom sandwich and it was delicious. My mom got the MK special, I don't remember what it was but she enjoyed hers as well. Everything was great but I was disappointed in their mac and cheese, I thought it was a bit bland for my taste. We also tried their snickerdoodle and oatmeal raisin cookies. They were really delicious but pricey. I think they were $2 each. I really wanted the Belgium waffle but they only serve them during the weekend so I guess I'm going to have to come back! read more

Thank you Madison Kitchen!!! Not only is your food delicious and health conscience but it is a quick, convenient place that has been so needed in Madison Park. Love love love!!! read more

I have become a regular to a place I don't care for... It may be my last "trial run". I come back here for the convenience and proximity to my home, however I wont put myself through the disappointment again. Especially because my husband used the "hate" word and he never does that! Several times I have come here and several times I have been turned off. 1. Prices for what you get is a big turn-off! Example: granola to go and a side of fruit felt like robbery. I got only melon and a quarter of a strawberry for over $10. Two Sandwiches w/ chips and a single cookie $31, need I say more? 2. Don't be surprised if you walk out without your sweet treat. I have ordered coffee and a treat. more than once they forgot to give me the sweet treat and had to go back. 3. Pre-made Dinner: For Thanksgiving I inquired about the meal and what it consisted of. I got a blank stare and a rude, "I don't know...". I had to explain there is a sign on the front that said Madison Kitchen provides a full Thanksgiving dinner to purchase, can you tell me about it. I got a response, it consisted of no words but a menu shoved at me. No thank you. 4. #3 pretty much sums it up on the service. Mostly it is an awkward interaction with the people behind the counter. There is one guy I see regularly that is very nice and willing to help. The others I have come across seem to be really unhappy to see you walk in the door or not "see" you. 5. I ask for my egg to be fully cooked every time, I have yet to receive a specific order correct. I figure if your overpaying for a sandwich they should at least make it to the request of the customer. read more

Very pricey for a cafe/deli atmosphere. I ordered a Greek salad to go, which amounted to about a cup and a half, for $8.50 before tax. Seemed fresh enough but was mostly just red onion! Not at all satisfying. Not worth the steep price. read more

Great bakery items, very good food, good tea. Wide variety on the menu considering it is a small place. Casual deli-style atmosphere (clear your own table), friendly staff. Lunch for three including beverages and dessert was about $50. Located near several interesting shops. I would definitely come here often if I lived in the area. read more

By far the best scones I've ever had. So glad they've joined the neighborhood!

Such a fantastic place, and a great addition to the neighborhood. Gluten free goodies are fabulous; as are the non-gluten free ;).. Panko chicken is one of our go-to dishes and if you like meat loaf, the turkey meat loaf is great. Kudos to Jim and his team. read more

We went to Madison Kitchen for the first time today, after hearing great things about it from friends. We sure were happy we went! It was a sunny Sunday afternoon & it was extremely busy, and a line out the door. Even though they were overflowing with customers, their service was exceptional, friendly, and we only needed to wait a few minutes for our food. The entire staff was hustling to take care of the customers, and still remained friendly & calm while servicing and acknowledging all their customers. My BF & I both had the Roast Beef sandwich which was very flavorful, with just a touch of a kick to it-great! We also had a Butternut & Wild Rice dish, that was very tasty. And, the absolute cherry on top of already a great meal was a muffin, a cookie bar type thing, and the MOST AMAZING Macaroon we have both ever had in our entire lives! And, we are over 50 years old, so that's a lot of a lifetime to have compared Macaroon's over the years! My BF also stands strong that they are the best muffin's he has ever had, he ate it before he "had a chance to offer me a bite", it was so good he said. The prices are very reasonable for the amount & quality of good food that you get. MK is definitely a wonderful addition to a great neighborhood, and worth an extra out of the way trip to go there for lunch there or to go. We will definitely continue to go back time & time again. I hope they keep those Macaroons in stock for our next visit, they are worth the trip just for them! Great Place & YUMMY!!! read more

Great food, pastries, coffee. Nice environment as well. But the wait is always so, so long. Five stars for everything but that.

I love Madison kitchen. This is a wonderful breakfast/lunch spot in a great location. The only reason I give this 4 stars vs 5 is the wait time to order. On a nice day at lunch time it can take a while to order your food. Even if you call ahead and order to go, you still have to wait in a line that can take a while with people ordering. I suggest going before 11:30 to void a crowd and long lines. read more

Great place. Stayed in Madison Park 3 days and ate breakfast here all 3. Amazing coffee and insane home made scones. Highly recommended.

Slow service and over-priced food. I do enjoy the 3-salad combo, but they will charge you $2 more if the curried chicken salad is one of your selections. Delicious, fresh-baked scones and pastries, but I would rather spend my money at a sit-down restaurant for the same price/quality lunch entrees read more

Madison Kitchen is a great breakfast and brunch spot. The breakfast sandwiches are down-right scrumptious and the pastries are dependable. I brought my dad here when he was visiting and he loved the scramble. However, my partner is somewhat of a mocha connoisseur and does not particularly care for their mochas. I think their drip coffee is great. The food is on the pricey side, otherwise we would come here way more often. Madison Kitchen does have limited seating, which can be a problem depending on what time of day you come. It seems as though moms love to bring their kids here, and we've been assaulted a couple of times by a toddler banging around our table or screaming at the top of his lungs... c'est la vie. We wish Madison Kitchen were open later, since we are night owls and would like to have a work spot available in the neighborhood that is not Starbucks. All in all, Madison Kitchen is a cheery place for a good bite. read more

To have an egg sandwich, with aioli and avocado, but the egg and bread remain the stars, takes skill. Delicious all around.

Excellent food and great service! I was on vacation in Seattle for a couple days and went twice. I had the MK Egg Sandwich the first day and had to return that Saturday once I saw the brunch menu. For brunch I got the Shakshuka, which was unique and filling for a long day of travel back to North Carolina. I also got a sandwich to go for the plane and this was excellent as well. If I lived in Seattle, I would come often. I think it is the perfect place to get food if you want something tasty without going to a "sit down" restaurant; although there is plenty of seating and a great environment if you are looking to sit down and enjoy a meal with friends. read more

This place is definitely my favorite lunch spot. I have tried most of the items on the menu and I always have been extremely happy. From the breakfast sandwich, to the meatloaf sandwich, and the amazing array of salads and desserts, I always look foward to coming here as often as possible. Free wifi and outside tables are a big plus. I have also used MK for various catering events, including holiday parties. My clients/friends always talk about the food at these events and cannot wait until the next one! read more

I love this place and it's my Sunday morning go to. Great food, awesome baked goods. I don't know why the quiche is better here than anywhere else in Seattle, but it is. read more

Best breakfast sandwich EVER! Great atmosphere and warmth. It was the perfect place for my first sunny Sunday morning. Great service and friendly staff! Now one of my faves. read more

On my recent trip to Seattle from Michigan, I found Madison Kitchen to be a very good place to eat. The food was delicious, the staff was friendly and it is a cool place. read more

The food is great, and I love the space. The service is why I won't be returning after giving Madison Kitchen a few chances. The employees are very rude and short. One person laid her head on the counter when a large group walked in and rolled her eyes at her colleague. It's pretty terrible and although the food is good, it's not worth it. read more

Great pastries, salads, and sandwiches. The pre-made food is healthy and light. I recommend the scones, cookies, and bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. read more

Amazing neighborhood spot. I come for the coffee but end up getting a pastry, sandwich, soup or salad because the food is so good. I love the rotating options and am pleased with the healthy choices. The staff seem to be a family amongst themselves which as a patron translates into a warm environment. I am so thankful for Madison Kitchen. It really filled a hole in the neighborhood need. read more
