The cafe itself is pretty small but cute. There's a little bit of outdoor seating, so it definitely feels like a more grab and go place. Service was good -- warm and welcoming. Got my smoothie pretty quickly as well. I ordered the mango berry blast as is. It was really yummy: mango-y and orange-y. A bit pricey for so few ingredients though. I do like all the add on options and other variety on the menu If I'm back in the area craving something quick, I'll stop by again!

The shrimp tacos were so good. The shrimp was flavorful, bouncy, and so juicy. We also got the canned sardines + add-ons which is such a great idea! You choose the can and they plate it for you. I do wish there was a bit more bread for it though. I had to ration my bread. Anyway, the food took a while to come out (maybe 20-30min) and we were the only ones sitting down. It's also pretty pricey!! So be warned. But still really good and I would definitely go back to try their fresh seafood too

Hi Spot Cafe may be the most popular spot in Madrona for brunch, which is completely…read moreunderstandable. It's delicious! My friend and I came here for brunch while in the area, and we had a great time over yummy food. I don't brunch often, but HI Spot Cafe made me question why I don't brunch often. The food was delicious in a craftsman home, with a lively setting and friendly staff. We came here on a late morning on Sunday, which was of course, peak hour for brunch. For the two of us, we waited for half an hour. But not to fret, at the entrance is a full coffee bar where you can order a drink and sip on caffeine while you wait. I ordered the biscuits and gravy, which was fantastic. I'm always on the gravy train, but this gravy had a kick to it with the spices, which I really liked. It was way better than your average, country gravy. The biscuits were soft and buttery and the poached eggs made a sauce after breaking the yolk. Perfection! Unlimited drip coffee for the win. Overall, if you're looking for a brunch option in Madrona, Hi Spot Cafe is a dependable and solid option for just that.

I'm aware that Hi Spot is located in Seattle, so everything is a bit more expensive, but most of the entrees didn't seem like it came with $20 worth of food (almost every entree was $18.50 - $21). However, the restaurant is retrofitted inside an old house, and I absolutely love house-restaurants! It's a very cool vibe inside, and there's even a covered outdoor patio during warmer weather! TL;DR: awesome venue with delicious food, but slower service and steep prices.

My sister and I dropped by spontaneously for weekend brunch (à Saturday korning around 9:30). There was a bit of a cluster of people waiting for tables, but they were larger groups and we were seated after about 10 minutes. We ordered cocktails while pursuing the menu. My sister enjoys their mimosas and I was curious about the "My name is Earl... Grey". Good choice - dangerously so. Smooth, flavorful, well balanced. Only a light perfume of Earl Grey. We shared our entrees: the harissa carrot hummus tartine and the roasted potato and scallion waffle. (Side note: we indicated our intention to the server, who thoughtfully brought extra plates so we could do that). The tartine was delicious. Just the right amount of spread on a thick slice of sourdough. It wasn't spicy at all; the sweetness of the carrots tempered the heat. A light sprinkle of romanesco and little cubes of feta finished it off. The waffle was a surprise. Crispy, savory, a whisper of sweetness, topped with a dollop of scallion butter. Unique and very flavorful. The homemade biscuit was large and easily shareable. The cappuccinos had a good, rich aroma. A double shot is the standard serving and had sufficient flavor and kick. There were so many interesting things in the menu, making it difficult to decide. I'll just have to come back.

It was the most expensive thing we got and my least favorite. Overall, get the poke and the clam chowder!!

This restaurant can get a little busy in the evenings but we arrived around 4:30pm for that reason. The spicy pickle starter was fun and had a lot of variety to the vegetables- went well with our cocktails as well. The Saigon Burger is a full commitment to its inspiration. The blend of meats, pickled radish/carrots, fresh jalapeño, and cilantro was delicious. We split our large order of fries which apparently use a special potato which makes sense because I've only had fries like these here at this restaurant. Service was great- plenty attentive without feeling pressure to zoom through our meal.

It is a small spot (sorta) so you kind of get in where you fit in. We ended up at the bar and honestly it worked out perfectly. Our bartender was friendly, engaging and just made us feel right at home. Another staff member came through at some point and was equally as kind. The service all around was great. Now let me talk about the food because that cabbage had no business being that good. I know that sounds random but it was my favorite thing and I did not see that coming. The mac and cheese was delicious, the fried chicken was really good, and my husband was all about the rice and black eyed peas (surprisingly). I also ordered a non alcoholic drink and even though I cannot remember the name it was really good too. The only minor thing was that one of the items, I think it was the hush puppies or cornbread, came out a little lukewarm. They mentioned it can be hard to keep that particular item hot, and flavor wise it was YUM so it was not a dealbreaker. Everything else comes out fresh as it's cooked so just know timing can vary by dish. It did get crowded toward the end and they politely let us know people were waiting outside. They handled it with so much grace it did not feel uncomfortable at all. I will definitely be back. Already curious about what will be on the menu next time.

We didn't have a reservation, but after about a 10-minute wait, we were lucky enough to snag two seats at the bar. From the moment we walked in, the vibe felt warm, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable. The seating seems intentionally designed to bring people together, and you could see it in the mix of large groups, couples, and even solo diners. Like the name, it had a "communal" energy that made the space feel alive and intimate. The hostess, bartenders, and our waitress were all phenomenal. They were attentive and easy to talk to. Also, the playlist was good. It really added to the overall experience. We started with the sweet potato hoe cakes, and they were absolutely amazing. I loved the texture. They were soft, pillowy, and balanced. They weren't too sweet, even with the honey butter. I wish I'd ordered more to go because I haven't stopped thinking about them. I'll have to try recreating them at home. For my entree, I ordered the stuffed trout, and this is where things really took off. It's a whole fried trout stuffed with a seafood dressing (shrimp, catfish and oysters), and it immediately caught my eye on the menu. I'm not used to eating whole fish, and I don't think I'd even had trout before, but this dish was mouthwateringly good. The fish was crispy, hot, and perfectly seasoned. The béarnaise sauce really set it off. There were so many layers of flavor and texture, and everything just worked together perfectly. On top of that, the presentation was stunning. I posted it on my Instagram story and immediately had people asking where my food was as from. This meal was very memorable. I have zero notes. The ambiance, food, music, and service were all top-tier. Side note: There is a 5% "communal" surcharge added to every bill. The money is used to support staff benefits, the support staff, and the line cooks. This is separate from the gratuity. This surcharge is clearly explained on the menu, and I really love and appreciate the transparency and that they care about the employees. But yeah. Super good. We love a good meal and we damn near left there skipping.
