What a beautiful new cafe in Madison Park. Got a sneak peek of how beautiful the newly renovated cafe is and am so excited for an awesome local eatery in the neighborhood. read more

See all

Extreme attitude when ordering coffee. White guy behind the counter with glasses and shorter curly hair asked me what size cappuccino I wanted, so I said "6oz." (That is the ONLY size a cappuccino is.) His reply dripped with condescension: "Uh.. okay." So he asked, "Do you want a single or a double shot?" I replied, "How big are your shots?" This is where the attitude really hit. His reply: "Well, it's an espresso machine, so it's the same size as every other espresso shot you've had before." He said this as if asking were some sort of horrible question. I ordered a single shot. For those following along at home, a cappuccino is 2oz of espresso, 2oz of steamed milk, and 2oz of foam. Any larger and it's just a foamy latte. Pulling an attitude when a customer orders their preferred drink is terrible customer service and this rude employee should be disciplined. Oh, and the cappuccino was mediocre at best. Next time I'll go to Starbucks down the street where I won't get so much nasty attitude. read more

I took my mother and her boyfriend (visiting from out of town) to Madison Kitchen sight unseen and we were all very impressed with the atmosphere, food, and customer service. Atmosphere: Clean, open, and modern. Food: Delicious! We had the Mac&Cheese, Corn Chowder, and Curried Chicken. We also had some decedent desserts: puffy chocolate brownie cookie thing, Nanaimo, and a Pecan Bar type deal. Service: Stellar! The gentleman behind the counter was extremely sincere and friendly and made sure we had everything we needed the whole time we were there. I will definitely be back! Thank you, Madison Kitchen. read more

We are in the Madison Park neighborhood today for lunch. We get down here once every year or two. This is a very nice lunch place. Good selection of soups and sandwiches. We would definitely return. read more

UPDATE: I've just been informed they have gluten free! Now Madison kitchen is perfect to me! :) 5th star added! Wonderful neighborhood joint. If you are visiting Seattle, it's a must to stop by this place to have coffee and breakfast. It's set in the middle of the most picturesque neighborhood in Seattle. The service is so friendly and happy every time I've visited. The food and coffee is top notch. The Madison Egg Sandwich is to die for! I wish they had a gluten free option because the ciabatta is way to thick. I usually take one piece off the top and eat it like toast. But overall a lovely little spot full of locals and fresh goodies. read more

What a great lunch spot! We stopped in on an afternoon walk, and had the BLAT/soup combo and the Madison St./potato salad combo. Both were excellent with crispy bacon, fresh greens, good bread, and perfect seasoning. We enjoyed a very pleasant meal sitting outside at the bistro tables, then got a DELICIOUS warm-from-the-oven chocolate chip cookie to go. I'd stop by again any time we're in the neighborhood. read more

Small local eatery with delicious salads and sandwiches. Love the amazing grilled cheese sandwich, the roast beef sandwich and also the curry chicken salad. These are family favorites, but other great options to choose from and wonderful desserts like lemon cake. We have never been disappointed. read more

I'm so happy I found this place. They serve illy coffee!! They make delicious maple bars with sea salt and plenty of other breakfast treats. Recently, I have been getting the egg strata , so good. It is a very small place so seating can be scarce. I took some chicken curry to go, with some potato bread. I'll admit, my mind was blown. I hate to write a good review because I don't want the place to get discovered by a bunch of phonies. However, the food is so good I had to spill the beans. Enjoy the coffee it's amazing. read more

Love this place! I work above the restaurant and always call in orders when running late to meetings or can't get away from my desk. For breakfast, they have a killer breakfast sandwich that I always get on whole-wheat. For lunch the Ruben or roast beef are my go-to! Ownership and staff are always super friendly. read more

This place has amazing salads (the Israeli Cous Cous salad and the Butternut Squash + Kale salad are particularly great!). Just like others have stated, though, it's tough during lunch time. If you can, go during off hours. Around 11am or after about 2pm on weekdays, it's usually a bit slower. read more

Madison Kitchen has the most sumptuous baked goods! I recently bought an Italian Cream Cake from them and it was fabulous! The whole family loved it and I think it'll be our go to bakery for birthday cakes from now on! They use excellent ingredients, which, of course, results in an excellent product! read more

Amazing place for eat in or take out. We take out 3 dinners per week. Specials every day highest quality food

This place is super cute and easy! Love their scones and the grown up grilled cheese! read more

Madison Kitchen - Grown up grilled cheese - Sandwiches Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Everything is amazing here!! Expert level pastry and baked goods, super fresh and well seasoned salads, perfectly prepared lattes. You can't miss the quiche or the coffee cake with peach, blackberry and pistachio! I can't sing enough praise about Madison Kitchen--I just wish I lived closer!! read more

Their coffee is excellent, their food (sandwiches, pastries, and brunch) is superb, the service is kind and accommodating, and the shop itself is cozy and charming. After nearly 5 years of being nestled in beautiful Madison Park, it's a local's favorite lunch and breakfast spot for a reason. read more

This place is small but very cute. They have a little bit of everything - lunch, brunch, pastries, mixed salads. I tried the cold brew which was good, but will be back to try some of the food! Limited seating inside but they have a few tables outside that are in the sun and shade. Cute spot! read more

Best coffee in Madison Park hands down and the prices are fair unlike the bakery down the street that charges extra for iced drinks. Try the caramel latte, you won't regret it. These people take pride in the coffee they make and that really excites me. The baked goods are consistently yummy also. read more

the salmon hash was really disappointing and the peacan roll was nothing special. not fantastic fabulous like fresh take away. the quiche in their deli section looked anemic and store made. back to my meal, expensive and super salty hash: the poached eggs were overcooked and the smoked salmon could not float above the salty mess of potatoes. my companion ordered brownies which were dry and average. i love delicious little mom and pop places who truly care about the quality and type of food that is being served. this place does not serve that type of quality food and does not have that awesome warm vibe. I make salmon hash at home with smoked salmon from the farmers market that taste way better and i'm not a chef. lots of people at the restaurant, who i think are not discerning in their taste or don't want to drive the extra mile to get something worth their time and money. really a very average deli/breakfast...very disappointing. will be not coming back. read more

Omg love this place!! I look forward to going here every time. Egg sandwich is the BEST. Good customer service, clean, delicious, etc.

This is my neighborhood "go-to" for delicious sandwiches, soups, salads and oh, the heavenly desserts and weekend-only donuts. Everything is high quality. Yes, the prices reflect that a tad, but you're worth it, right?! Now my one and only gripe is that the guy who's at the front counter is not warm and fuzzy. Ever. Never. When you say good morning and the other person just keeps their mouth closed with barely a change to their dour facial expression, well, I call that plain rude. I go out if my way to show respect and I'd appreciate the same in return. Kindness doesn't cost a dime and dude, I'm tipping you!! read more

I have already been here three times and love it. The atmosphere is beautiful. It's the perfect addition to Madison Park. The food is amazing. The service was pretty good. The first time I went was the day of the "Open House" and I had a mini pumpkin spice muffin and chocolate chip cookie. Both were delicious! Then I came in for a business meeting and had a drip coffee. Also delicious. Today I came in and had a half a build your own sandwich and the Pacific Rim coleslaw. I had the sandwich grilled. It was perfectly crisp. The coleslaw was so yummy. I wanted to eat a whole quart of it. Half sandwich and slaw was about $9.50. Not bad for Madison Park and for the quality of the food. I am very pleased! read more

Jim Goodall, a past chef of Rain City Grill, took ownership of this Madison Park cafe about a year ago and has been serving fabulous food ever since. The decor is fresh and new, the bathrooms spotless and the outdoor seating is expanded. The already great meatloaf sandwiches were made even better. You can't go wrong with any menu item here. read more

This is a great neighborhood spot for coffee or a quick lunch. I love their salads. The interior is lovely. I like the big table for lunches with friends. Elegant but still friendly- not a place filled with scowling nerds on laptops! read more

Okay. I have a love/hate thing going on with Madison Kitchen. I love them because they consistently put out good food and coffee....I hate the fact that I can't stop spending money there!!! It's super convienient to my job so that's why I first started going...I liked it at first , but didn't love it. The service was hit or miss....I thought the food was slightly overpriced. THEN - something magical happened. This little piece of magic being Edward. He remembered my name and drink after just one visit !!! His service is what lured me back to MK. Now that time has passed and I've tried more of the menu, I really enjoy this place. The service is much better.....the meatloaf sandwhich is amazing....and even though some items are pricey- it's totally worth it. Quality food and great people. Definitely my go to place when I'm in Madison Park. read more

Madison kitchen feels so homey! The food is always fresh and the coffee is delicious! oh and you cannot leave MK without a scone!!!

I own a bakery so I am pretty picky about baked goods. I stopped in yesterday and picked up some goodies on a whim. It was such a cute store front with a sign that read "marshmallow steamer" it drew me in. There was a nice selections of baked goods. I got the pear hazelnut muffin and the cranberry orange scone. The muffin was so good, nice and tender and not too sweet with a nice crumbly top. the subtle pear flavor melded really well with the perfectly toasted hazelnuts. The scone was also great, and although it seemed more of a biscuit than a scone, it was still delicious, crumbly in all the right ways with just a hint of orange. I also got some almond toffee which I haven't eaten yet but can't wait. I will definitely be back! read more

MK is a beautiful cafe perfect for our Madison Park neighborhood, interior design is fun and modern, there is outside seating for those sunny summer days, healthy fresh food as well as classic baked goods to go with your coffee. This place seems to have a less is more feel, they never ask what coffee size you'd like, it's always 12oz. And they're kinda pricey, but I'd rather give my business to them rather than Starbucks a block away. read more

Delicious food, much of it vegan, cool ambiance, not too noisy. I can't think of a reason to take off a star.

The food is fantastic, but the customer service is hit or miss. I go regularly and am shocked at how snotty some of the employees are. .. whereas some are very helpful and sweet. read more

I had continued to go even though it is overpriced and has limited variety. However, yesterday was the last time - I went for breakfast - craving eggs. I was told all they had was an egg sandwich - I didn't want bread - I was asked "is it a gluten-issue; we have gluten-free bread". NO I just don't eat bread. No alternative was offered, like "let me get you just an egg on a plate". I left and went home to look at the restaurant scene from Five Easy Pieces - it was as absurd at Madison Kitchen as it was in the movie. read more

Love the variety of fresh salad dishes. Enjoyed a great kale pecan salad and also tried the turkey meatloaf which is quite scrumptious. As wonderful as the food is, I've been here several times (as I'm a local to the neighborhood) and am not impressed by the service. The staff are not the most welcoming and it took them awhile to acknowledge my existence at the counter as they were having their own conservations. read more

Really fantastic roast beef sandwich + caesar salad - prices on point. We each had that half and half combo, and were so pleased with how delicious both items were. The caesar dressing is made in house and is absolutely perfect. read more

The following are responses to some of the one-star reviews posted here. They were written by a 9 year old boy who would give this place a million stars if he could, and who gave his permission to upload what he wrote: Response to Fred T's 1-star review: The slow service is worth it. And I've been there for a few months now and the employees are okay when they've got customers. Response to Kali A's 1-star review: People don't have to smile at you. The restaurant is really good. And again, people do not have to smile at you all the time! Also, if they moved the table, its their responsibility to put it back. 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

The MK Egg Sandwich is PHENOMENAL! I just recently discovered this place, but I've already been back twice because I love this sandwich so much. It's a great place for weekend breakfast, especially when the weather is nice in Seattle because they have sidewalk seating. Nothing but good things to say, especially since the employees were friendly and the drip coffee was strong! read more

Truly one of the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had the pleasure to devour. Sitting outside in the Seattle sun eating one heck of a sandwich and drinking a delicious latte gets the five stars. It's the kind of neighborhood spot we all wish was around our corner. read more

This place makes super tasty everything. The sandwiches are inventive and everything is made right there when you order it; I love the BLATT, The BQQ sandwich, THE RUBEN, and the Madison St. Special. The soups are a sleeper hit; order the smokey lentil when its around. As for whats in the cold case: the chicken salad is hearty with a sweet touch from grapes and a hint of tarragon. French Lentils with the mint and feta, the Isreali CousCous = MY FAV! The waffles are a most amazing treat. One of the owners is from Vermont and doesn't skip on the best of maple syrup. The MK Breakfast Sandwich is a savory bomb perfect for any morning start. read more

Love this place. Great food, friendly staff. When I moved here from NYC the warm staff here (Josh!) and the delicious food helped make my transition easier! Forever grateful. Now I am kind of addicted to Richard's flat whites. Nice people, great food! Also, sometimes they even put aside some of my four year old's favorite salad. So thoughtful as it takes a village to get kids eating salad! read more

New owners in this space in Madison Park. All the baked goods that I have tried, cookies, tarts, and the amazing many layered carrot cake are superb! The chicken cutlets, quiche, frittata are fantastic. Sandwiches are excellent. There is a theme here. The MK is very very good. I stop by to pick up food for dinner and too often for a cookie. So glad to have really good food in the neighborhood! read more

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
