Gluten free options are hella solid and the service is sweet and fast. I come here after farmer's market shopping. The gluten free biscuit is really substantial--so this is def for carb day. It's cute inside with old school bolted bench seats; but it's also easy to take your sandwich to go for outdoor eating. read more

Delicious biscuits and biscuit sandwiches! My husband and I came here on a weekend morning. We ordered at the counter and grabbed a seat at one of their tables. Service was friendly. We got their biscuit with maple butter, Thai tea latte and their biscuit sandwich special - corn beef on a cheddar biscuit. All were very delicious! read more

Came here for a quick breakfast. Food was as great as always. I am most impressed by how high of a bar they set themselves for all these years. I first came here 6 years ago and this place has never let me down. Not once. Thank you as always for being the greatest. Service was fast. You do have to bus yourself, but it's not a big deal. The ambiance is good, but I wouldn't say that's the most inspiring aspect of this restaurant. But it's beginning to feel like a neighborhood gem that you shouldn't ever skip! Strong recommend. read more

Located towards the end of The Ave with plenty of street parking. Once you enter, you are greeted and asked to order prior to being seated. The decor is very chic with cafeteria style seating and trinkets all throughout the restaurant. We ordered The Fast Break and The Spanish Fly. Both were similarly structured with their own style for each Sammie. The biscuit had a nice texture, the eggs were cooked well, and the savory brought everything together. read more

Morsel - The Fast Break , The Spanish Fly - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've lost count on how many times I've gone here. The place is usually lively on the weekends since there's also a farmers market hosted on the street. It's self serve and seats are somewhat limited when it's busy, but I usually don't have to wait long. We ordered: The Fast Break - Even through my countless visits I stay loyal to my one and only, The Fast Break. Their sweet and tangy tomato jam is my absolute favorite. I'll never get tired of it. The Spanish Fly - My friends usually order this for a fresh and savory breakfast. My second favorite next to the Fast Break. read more

We stopped into Morsel for brunch one Sunday afternoon with a craving for biscuits. The staff was nice, it felt like a neat little breakfast diner, and the service was fast. The biscuits themselves were good! A little crisper than I prefer, but it was a good biscuit. The gravy wasn't my cup of tea. Having grown up in the south, I'm used to a very specific flavor profile for sausage gravy, and it just didn't hit the mark for me. It wasn't bad by any means, probably just some addition of extra spice like extra sage or maybe rosemary that just didn't sit exactly well with my taste buds. My wife's BEC was great! They have some sweeter options I'd love to try next time I go as well! read more

This business needs your support. The kind (and very cute) owner let me know that they need more business this summer. I've been coming here for a long time, and not often enough lately. Today I ordered a dirty chai and a biscuit and gravies with half mushroom and half pork sausage. Please rush over here and bring all your friends. The music is good, the booths are comfortable. And on a Sunday there's tons of parking if you need to drive or light rail is super close. Delicious food!!! read more

Came here from a recommendation that these were one of the best biscuits In Seattle. I got the Spanish fly and it was delicious. Super savory. The egg was runny, and everything was well balanced. Personal preference, I think the biscuit was a bit hard and dry for my taste. Overall solid spot for a quick bite though. Food: 7.3/10 Service: 10/10 Ambience: 8/10 read more

Morsel - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

A solid breakfast spot that specializes in biscuits and breakfast sandwiches, and it definitely delivered. We ordered the Fast Break sandwich on both a cheddar chive biscuit and a buttermilk biscuit. The sandwiches were stacked and flavorful, and the biscuits were the star--flaky, buttery, and perfectly balanced. Not dry, not soggy--just right. read more

Morsel - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I visited Morsel for a weekday lunch and it wasn't too crowded at all. A couple of things to start: this is a counter service establishment - order at the front, pick up in front of the kitchen area, bus the tables, etc. Items that include biscuits have a surcharge for higher tier biscuits. E.g. ordering a $14.75 sandwich with a Biscuit Special will be 75 cents more. Pricing seems quite steep, but tax is already included. With that being said, pricing still seems to be quite high for the size of the biscuit sandwiches. The Spanish Fly w/ Biscuit Special ($15.50) - The biscuit special, pickled onion cheddar, is quite good. It's very buttery, moist, and fluffy on the interior, albeit not particularly layered or flaky, but with no hint of dryness. The exterior is nice as well, being toasted until a crunchy crust develops. There's plenty of cheddar baked inside, although I'm not sure the pickled onion comes out all that much over everything in the sandwich. For the fillings, they first start with melted manchego on the bottom that's extremely bubbly and is toasted to the point of almost becoming a cheese crisp on the edges, while the interior still remains stretchy. On top of that lies a piece of prosciutto. I was expecting the typical cold cured piece of thinly sliced meat, but they actually fry the prosciutto, which transforms it into something similar to bacon in both cured saltiness and crisp. On top of that is an over easy egg, the yolk already punctured before service, spilling all over the side to be used a dip for the sandwich. A bit of arugula, spicy and bitter, lie on top, followed by a smear of pepper aioli. The aioli is very sweet pepper forward in flavor with no heat. After assembly, I believe the entire sandwich is then toasted as a whole so that's it's served entirely warm. (4/5) Overall I found the biscuit sandwich to be good, but a bit on the smaller side for the price. I'd love to go back to try some of the biscuits by themselves rather than a sandwich. Firstly to judge the actual biscuit quality by itself, but also because I'm not sure it's worth the additional $11 to upgrade the biscuit to a sandwich. Bathrooms - Two unisex rooms read more

Really good biscuits, I enjoyed eating here. Also -- quick and friendly service. The vibe is like a retro diner by a bus station (the seats are repurposed public seating). read more

This place gets really busy on the weekends so keep that in mind in terms of wait times. It's especially busy during the u district farmers markets. I got the fast break and did not like the cheddar and chive biscuit that I got. The biscuit was very dense and hard, but also dry. The tomato jam was not to my pallet so it just may be a personal preferences thing, but it was really sweet and I did not think everything went well together with the bacon egg and cheese and then the biscuit together. Felt a bit disjointed as a result and I think there's better breakfast sandwiches to be had elsewhere. read more

When there's no signage or branding except for a free standing chalk board, you just know things will be either very good or very bad...so happy to say VERY GOOD. Though the decor is kinda awful-trying way too hard to be artsy but fails. But don't let the phones glued to the wall distract you from the delicious lattes and that glorious assortment of biscuits! read more

The garlic cheddar biscuit buns were absolutely phenomenal and elevated the entire sandwich. Reminds me of the Dutch Crunch bread from Ike's love and sandwiches. Extremely BUTTERY and textured with crunchy outside and moist inside with each bite. The fillings inside were simple but fresh and the buns made the experience. Tastes way better than it looks. Picture doesn't do it justice. Small little restaurant with sufficient tables and a small menu. They are a bit short staffed so you will need to bus your own table. Also offer self served water and condiments. Their signature chili sauce condiments were amazing. read more

Morsel - 1x "The Spanish Fly" in front and 2x of "The Fast Break" in the back. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've been wanting to try morsel for months now and I finally rode my bike there and had a delightful experience. The biscuit was on point! Flaky in the way that makes you pause and appreciate layers. It was warm, lightly golden, and the chives went together well with the bacon and egg. And then there's the tomato jam!!! I love me some tomato jam so this is why I opted for the "Fast Break" sammie. It's just sweet enough to lift the biscuit, tangy enough to keep things interesting. I wanted a pile of that tomato jam on my plate honestly. Like my other reviews I dig my sauces!!!! I'll be back. It was very filling and I didn't even need to eat for the rest of the day! The workers were kind and upbeat and very welcoming once you walked in the door. Interesting decor inside too! Good vibes! read more

Morsel - 16 oz. Drip and The Spanish Fly - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I was craving a breakfast sandwich and decided to try Morsel for their breakfast biscuits. I got the Break Fast and the Spanish Fly, both were packed with great flavor. The biscuit itself was a bit hard and dense for my taste; I was hoping it would be a little more moist. That said, it's still a solid spot for a quick breakfast or snack. Service is fast, and there's plenty of seating since most people are in and out. read more

One of the best biscuits I've had. Crisp on the outside, soft and moist inside, and delicious even on its own. The fig jam is perfectly balanced as well. Lively weekend vibes without feeling crowded, plus a fun, welcoming space. Worth coming back for the biscuit alone. read more

You walk in and order from the front counter, then wait for your number to be called. There is no waiter/waitress and you seat yourself. The place has a great vibe and I loved the food. Ordered biscuits and gravy + added 2 sunny side up eggs to share with my wife. It was plenty of food and the gravy had excellent flavor. They offered pork or chicken or vegan gravy I believe. It hit the spot and I wasn't sluggish throughout the day. I also ordered a cheddar and chive biscuit with a side of raspberry jam to share with the table. The jam is an excellent sweet option, I can't wait to try their other spreads. I will be back and to do recommend this place for breakfast. read more

I was in the need for a quick snack and Morsel did NOT disappoint. I was so hungry that I took a photo of the biscuit after my first bite, sorry guys... Anyways, the biscuit itself was only $4 and a lot bigger than I expected for that price. I got it warmed and it took around 5 minutes to be ready. When the chef called my order he seemed really happy and the vibe was just so nice. As for the biscuit itself, it was not too dry and the flavor was amazing. The cheddar flavor came through and I only wish there were a couple more scallions. I will definitely be back to try one of their more hefty menu items soon!!! read more

Morsel has the best biscuits in Seattle, period. I love coming here on Saturday mornings as I can also stop by the U District Farmers Market, which happen right outside of the store. I've tried both their savory options (biscuit sandwiches) and sweet options (biscuit with butter/ jam/ honey) and they are both phenomenal. The biscuit is crunchy on the outside, but soft and pillowy on the inside. They always come out hot which is so perfect for a cold winter morning. The service is also quick despite occasional long line. I can't wait to go back! read more

Take it from someone who grew up in the South, if you have been searching for a REAL Southern style buttermilk biscuit, not a drop style, but tall, tender, flaky, not over-overbaked with a slight crisp on the outside, and the perfect not too moist,not too dry crumb... MORSEL IS IT!! I got the bacon egg and cheese on a buttermilk biscuit. It comes with the most delicious, savory, tangy, sweet, tomato, jam, thick cut bacon, and folded egg. that is actually seasoned, and melted cheddar cheese that has dripped over the edge and gotten slightly crisp. When I tell you, it's all my favorite things in one sandwich I am not kidding! you can tell everything is made from scratch and will love here. I will definitely be back. read more

One of the best biscuit breakfast I've had! There was already a line waiting out the doors but the line moves fast.

It's not particularly cheap though, so be aware :) Their coffee was pretty good too!! read more

I have only ever heard good things about Morsel, so it is such a surprise to me that the four years that I lived in U-District that I never stopped by this place. Nonetheless, better late than never! The three of us grabbed a quick, light breakfast at Morsel before we went to our dance class in the area. We actually all got "The Fast Break" (bacon (pork), scrambled egg, cheddar, and roasted tomato jam). One of us got it on the Buttermilk biscuit and the other two got it on the Cheddar Chive biscuit. At first glance, you may not be so sure how to eat it because it looks like the insides could fall out if you try to eat it like a burger. I decided to cut it in half and eat one side at a time to make it less messy. I really enjoyed the texture of the biscuit. It was warm and soft, not too dry either compared to other places. The tomato jam is sweet, but not overly sweet and goes well with the rest of the sandwich. Luckily, it wasn't too busy when we came in. A few tables cleared out by the time we came in. The service with the cashier was good. There is very little interaction with any other staff outside of that, besides the ones conjuring up the food for you and calling your number associated with your order. It is small inside, but you can probably bring up to 4-6 people if you use a booth or move some of the smaller tables together. But definitely better for smaller groups or taking it to go! read more

This was a cool spot to grab a late breakfast. Parking was pretty easy to find and the service was so friendly. It felt like your friends spot in terms of the chill vibe. We ordered the Spanish fly on a buttermilk biscuit which had Manchego cheese and a peppered aioli and arugula. It was perfect. The biscuit was uber soft and crunchy on the outside. It was a perfect combination. The other biscuit was the fast break with tomato jam. It was a great combination and my husband had it with the cheddar garlic biscuit. It didn't leave us too full which was nice since we had a full day. We also got oj and lemonade and it paired perfectly. I definitely recommend it here. read more

Morsel - The Spanish fly and fast break as is no modifications - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Came here for my first meal in Seattle and it was a nice start to my adventure. Biscuits are always a classic, but there are definitely a lot of different ways to spice them up besides gravy. The price point was a bit rich for my taste, so I opted for their special biltong biscuit with butter while my friends went for their biscuit sandwiches. Presentation wise they were gorgeous and definitely full of flavor, but biscuits are only so filling if you eat just one. The service is pretty quick and you pick up your order, bus for yourself, and self-serve water. Ambiance is pretty good for working with free Wi-Fi and it was a great way to kick off my morning. read more

The Spanish Fly (with Garlic Cheddar Biscuit): Warm, flaky, moist, buttery biscuit! There was a hint of garlicky flavor, but I wouldn't have minded more.

Decent place. Limited menu for brunch. Friendly wait staff. Not much stood out when it came to the food.

Stopped in Morsel with my daughter. Walking distance from her campus housing. We enjoyed decent chai and breakfast sandwiches. Heavy biscuits may be a bit much for some. I'm more of a croissant than biscuit person but it was tasty! Made fresh. Cute cafe feel and good was prepared quickly. You order up front, receive a number and pick up your food at the bar when your number is called. read more

Great vibes. Fire food. I do mean absolutely incredible "slap yo mama it's so good" food served with a smile.

I am still thinking about these biscuits a week later. Do yourself a favorite and go get some! You order at the counter immediately inside the door and then find a table. I can envision a line winding out the door on the weekends, but we were able to snag a table on a Thursday morning. You get a number, and they call your order at the bar in the back by the self-serve water. They have a lovely little concise menu. A few biscuit sandwich options, several biscuit flavors, and a massive list of toppings. A biscuit choose your own adventure. The service was awesome! The employees were so helpful and attentive. The decor is funky, and the vibe is super friendly! The food came out hot and fast. We had to go sweet and savory of course. I will be thinking about the Fast Break sandwich on a garlic cheddar biscuit fondly every morning for the foreseeable future. The buttermilk biscuit with butter and strawberry balsamic jam was to die for. I can't wait to go back as soon as I'm back in Seattle. read more

Summary: The biscuitwich search continues Details: My previous fave, Biscuit & Bean, changed ownership between my two most recent visits to Seattle, and things just aren't the same under the new management, so we set out to find a replacement on this recent trip. Cue Morsel, which had been in my bookmarks since forever ago, which, alas, did not actually come to the rescue. We got a Spanish Fly to try as a direct side-by-side comparison, and while the basic buttermilk biscuit was really nice and flaky with a good chew, we found it to be too salty, contrasted with an aioli sauce that was sweet and seemed to clash with the rest of the flavors in the sandwich. So, unfortunately, a miss in a number of ways. Accessibility: We didn't dine-in, but at a glance, the seating appears to be seats that are fixed to the tables, which means that they're not really wheelchair accessible unless you want to sit at the side and block a walkway. read more

Really cool and unique interior, I had fun reading all the stickers on the seats. The employee who took my order was patient and helpful with answering my questions. I got the cappuccino (average cappuccino, nothing special), hot latte with vanilla syrup (a tad too sweet, not a strong coffee flavor), "The Spanish Fly" sandwich with a cheddar chive biscuit (so good and sauce was tangy and yummy), and garlic cheddar biscuit with butter (flaky and savory deliciousness, could taste the garlic and cheddar). Would come again for the biscuits! read more

This place is a DELICIOUS. I was surprised when I stopped by here for a quick breakfast sandwich. When we arrived we order immediately at the front door and were able to find seating right away. This is a seat yourself and bud your own table type of spot. I got the Fast Break with Maple Butter and it was the perfect balance of savory/sweet. I must admit I am not the biggest fan of biscuits but these are the exception. They are light/airy with a perfect crispy crunch on the outside. My partner got the Spanish Fly which he also really enjoyed and said he would definitely get it again. The only thing I must say is that your food might take a little while to come out. It did not seem very busy with lots of tables open, but our food still took 25-30 mins to come out. This might have just been an isolated experience but I will keep you updated! Definitely recommend though! read more

Morsel is pretty solid. Miles better than Biscuit Bitch in downtown. But if you're planning on dropping by this cozy diner-style restaurant on a weekend morning, be prepared to wait. My wife and I ordered two of the specialty biscuit sandwiches on a Saturday morning, and we waited about 5 minutes for a table to open up and another 20 minutes to get our food. Overall, not bad. This hefty biscuit sandwich is DENSE and packed with a lot of other tasty ingredients, like bacon, arugula, or prosciutto - we both left pretty full. The only problem is that we couldn't really taste the flavor of the biscuit itself, and it was quite dry. A glass of water and dousing of smoked chipotle sauce helped with that issue. We will be back one day, and it really has an awesome vibe with solid biscuits. But after living in Atlanta, GA, for a bit, this place doesn't even come close to touching the southern charm and deliciousness of biscuits with an 11-foot pole. With that being said, not bad for the PNW, and this place deserves a solid 4-star. read more
