    Bacon egg and cheese sandwich with English muffin
    Joseph R.

    I decided to have breakfast here and honestly wasn't expecting much, I do apologize for the honesty, but to my surprise it was quite nice from the food to the interior as well. The lady that helped me was pretty straightforward with everything and she seemed to be very quick at her job, which fits the place well. Overall the food in honesty was above average and I also forgot to enjoy my meal with ketchup, which would have elevated it for sure. Would try again.

    Cute little coffee shop that also serves food for a quick bite. We came in for breakfast and ordered lattes a breakfast late and a bagel. There was only 1 person working at the time and she provided great service. She took our orders, made us our lattes and then cooked up our breakfast and served us all pretty quickly too. The food was simple but it hit the spot. It was just what we needed to start off our day.

    Veggie breakfast sandwich with tomato, avocado, spinach, and eggs.

    Cute little neighborhood gem right next to our Airbnb. Service and food were excellent. I ordered a latte and veggie breakfast sandwich. Delicious!

    Cute little cafe rightttt across from Top Pot (took all I had not to cross the street). I saw that it had great reviews, so I was pretty excited! So far, I just feel pretty "meh" about this place. I ordered an organic green tea latte and the first half of the drink was pretty good. Once I got about halfway through, all the matcha flavor disappeared and I was just drinking steamed milk... I'm not sure if they didn't stir it well or what, but I couldn't handle just drinking steamed milk. Bleck. It's a really cute place (very tiny) and the owner and his employee that was there was super nice. I'm interested in coming back for their breakfast sandwich or omelette options - and to give them a second chance on the drink.

    Small, quaint alternative to *bux. The usual espresso drinks, limited eats-n-seats, overpriced. Friendly staff but there are better cafes.

    Nice people. Strip mall coffee shop. Cappuccino - Scorching hot. No taste. No pride in their craft.

    A Filipino Breakfast Experience You'll Never Forget…read more What can I say about Ludi's Restaurant? It's one of the most memorable, heart‑warming Filipino dining experiences I've ever had. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, inviting, and full of soul--the kind of place where comfort food and genuine hospitality meet. We were even lucky enough to sit with a member of the family, who shared the history behind the restaurant. That personal touch made the meal feel even more special, like we were being welcomed into someone's home rather than just another breakfast spot. And the food--absolutely incredible. Every dish was comforting, flavorful, and deeply satisfying... exactly what you want in a Filipino breakfast. What We Ordered - Porkchop Breakfast -- Two beautifully breaded pork chops served with eggs, potatoes, toast, jam, and a rich brown mushroom gravy. Crispy, hearty, and delicious. - Lumpia‑Silog -- Seasoned beef wrapped in a perfectly fried eggroll wrapper. Crunchy, savory, and addictive. - Loco‑Moco -- A seasoned ground beef patty smothered in that same brown mushroom gravy. Pure comfort. - And as a special treat, the owner brought out oxtail for us to try--tender, flavorful, and unforgettable. Everything we tasted was delicious, soulful, and cooked with love. I truly can't rave enough about this place. If you want a breakfast that feels like a warm hug, Ludi's is it.

    Yum. Truly worth the hype and the line. The ube pancake was so tasty, decadent, and fluffy. I…read morerecommend getting one (two gals split one) instead of a stack because while it's so good, it's big and it's kind of like eating cake for breakfast. We also shared the combo silog which was a great way to sample more of the menu. I enjoyed the garlic rice and ilocos especially. The diner feels so cozy and homey - old photos of the owner and customers and magnets his guests left are a nice touch. Friendly and attentive service despite the busyness.

    What a secret gem of a place! Just tucked in from a bustling Denny street!…read more We started out with some cappuccino and iced latte, and they were lovely. They served the coffees with a little shortbread cookie, and these little details really elevated the whole experience. Also, the cappuccino was so foamy, and it hit the spot immediately. The breakfast menu was also fantastic. The TPC Breakfast plate included sausage, potatoes, bacon, bread, and some scrambled eggs. There also was an option to add Beecher's cheese on the eggs, and I'd say it was totally worth it. Most importantly, the Dutch baby was as good as they'd advertised. It comes out on a piping hot skillet which kept the dessert warm till the end of the meal. The service was very quick even though they were entirely booked out for the time we were there for. I appreciated the patience from the servers and their helpful directions in picking the menu items. I will warn you that we had to reserve our spot months in advance. This is probably because the restaurant is great but pretty limited in seating space. However, it was definitely worth the wait, so don't be discouraged. I highly recommend trying it out at least once. All in all, highly recommend! Please go try Tilikum Place Cafe!

    We tried all three Dutch babies - classic, sweet, and savory - and they didn't disappoint. The…read moresavory-sweet combo was the highlight, especially if you enjoy contrasting flavors. The baked eggs, however, were just okay - nothing particularly good. The ambiance was cozy and nice, right in downtown Seattle. However, be prepared: the wait can be long, and once you're done, they'll need the table, as there's usually a line. Overall, it's worth a visit - just make a reservation and come for the Dutch babies. I was told there are seasonal Dutch babies so try again sometime in June maybe.

This is a lively place, always filled with a lot of upscale looking customers. So the atmosphere is quite loud, but fun in a buzzing way. We were seated quickly, as we had reservations. Our server Charlie, was engaging, friendly and on top of things. We ordered the shared dips---olive tapenade, eggplant, hummus, tatziki with some warm pita triangles. They're all good and a fun way to start the dinner. We each had kebabs---lamb, chicken and mushroom. All good, moist and tender all poured with a jig of ouzo on a hot skillet. The onions in the bottom get browned and crusty, so good to eat. One had a lamb burger which looked juicy and served with delicious mound of fries sprinkled with rosemary. Food here has always been awesome. Skipped dessert as we had homemade cookies to eat at our next stop.

    While in Seattle, we stumbled upon Mr. West, a cute little café. I ordered a grilled cheese and a…read morecup of tomato soup. The grilled cheese was made to perfection the bread was fresh, thick, and delicious, and it was packed with cheese! The tomato soup was also delicious with a unique flavor. My only (very minor) complaint is that it was served in a cup, which made it hard to dip the grilled cheese. A bowl would've been much better for dipping! Overall, this café was a quiet, cozy spot with pleasant employees. I'd definitely visit again.

    I came here based on reviews and with the intent of trying their avocado toast. However upon…read morearrival and looking at their menu, I went for their salmon toast. Why? Because you never turn away a delicious PNW Salmon dish. The place is cute, mainly wooden, lots of plants inside (my allergies were killing me here hehe). Plenty of sitting areas and window views too. I got lucky to seat by a window to just enjoy the rainy view. Their Salmon toast was delicious! I asked for the cream cheese on the side because I cant have lactose but I still wanted to try their dish with all ingredients. So I dipped the slices a few times to try it all and omg its so perfectly paired. I totally recommend it! The coffee was ok. I had their gingersnap latte seasonal drink. I asked with only 1 pump of sweet and alternative milk. I was not impressed. I prefer black coffee haha but if you enjoy sweet drinks you may enjoy this one. I still finished it, so it wasn't terrible just not something I'd order again. Also, Idk why my coffee was served on a to-go cup. Maybe that took some of the joy of it? Overall, I recommend the this spot. Staff was friendly. The menu is vast. Sitting arrangements are great and cozy. Within walking distance from the convention center and a couple of the hotels in the area.
