I was by myself and needed some breakfast, so I stopped by Issaquah Cafe--and I was not…read moredisappointed! It has a great old-school diner vibe, and I was able to sit right at the counter. The coffee was hot, and there seemed to be quite a few regulars who came in often because the waitstaff seemed to know them by name. They had tons of breakfast options, including waffles, French toast, and pancakes, along with some more unusual choices like a pulled pork breakfast burrito and a breakfast quesadilla. They also had plenty of classic diner favorites, including eggs Benedict, steak and eggs, and chicken-fried steak. I ended up going with the veggie omelette, which came with pancakes. The food came out quickly, and everything was delicious. The omelette was packed with vegetables, and the pancakes were fluffy and came with maple syrup. There was so much food that I could only finish half of the omelette and one pancake, so I took the rest home for later. I also checked out their lunch menu, which had burgers and other diner favorites like a triple-decker club sandwich, Ruben, turkey melt, and a variety of sides Overall, great food, great service, and exactly the kind of traditional diner experience I was looking for.

Another table who sat after us got there food first, we as well only ordered omelets @ 19$$ each so still pricier items on menu. Flavor was mid barely had any back in omelet. Food over all rating roughly 6.. waitress was MIA but quick to collect the $$. May give another try we shall see .

We poked around and didn't see anyone, then shouted and someone came out from the back. Food was fine and came out fast given we were the only people in there, but it wasn't fantastic. I won't be back based on my experience. I prefer the other breakfast places around the area.

This place definitely feels authentic and the gentlemen behind the counter (perhaps the owner?) was friendly and welcoming. The coffees and chicken schwarma crepe were fantastic and exceeded my expectations. The Nutella crepe was fine - pretty standard nutella with banana and strawberries. The only thing to keep in mind here is that the service is a bit slow so drop by when you have some time to wait for your food or maybe call ahead if they take phone orders. Personally, I don't really consider this a deal breaker or reason for a lower rating, but it is mentionable in such a fast paced area.

Star & cheese sandwich was too much zatar, way too much. Turkish coffee, after the initial shock is good. Ask for more hot water as you finish it. Turkish coffee is almost $10 so it's a treat. Baklava looked real good too. Very nice lady working there. Check it out in the lovely Issaquah

I WILL NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN!…read more The food was fine, but they hid at the back of the menu a 5% service charge that goes 0% to the servers, 100% to the management. It seems like that's illegal, but even if it isn't its extremely dishonest. Just raise the menu prices 5% instead of creating fees and charges in the fine print. Plenty of other places also have good food, but don't play games with the prices so I'm going there instead.

The Black Duck is quickly becoming my favorite restaurant and bar in Issaquah. I can vouch for the…read moremushroom burger and the duck pizza, as well as some of the whiskey cocktails. The burger is thick and really juicy, great bun and aioli. The fries are perfectly crispy. The pizza had a really great, I'm assuming wood-fired, crust. The duck was tender and sweet and there was a lot of arugula. It's a sparser craft pizza, which is just so delicious when you are looking for something a little heavy but not over the top. While they boast about their craft beer offerings, they have a great cocktail list as well, and I love that they have a specific whiskey cocktail section as well, with a few that are less common at some bars. The Brooklyn is probably my favorite, but you can't really go wrong. Also, a fellow patron asked for a Toronto and the bartender was happy to look it up and make it for him. And what about the atmosphere here?! It's so wonderful in summer! With its narrow design giving a sense that an entire wall opens to the outside and the patio that extends beyond, it feels Ike you are vacationing somewhere tropical and beachy. This somehow combines really well with the industrial vibe of the interior. They also have some TV's for sports. The service is very friendly, attentive, interactive, and helpful. One thing that was consistent across my three visits, however, was the feeling that the place is always understaffed, so things tend to move slowly. I'm not sure this is the case, it's just the feel you get when it happens the times you visit. This is a bit of a double-edged sword though, since it's such an easy place to just want to sip and nibble slowly while delving into conversation. So, that's not enough to detract a star for now, and honestly I'm already thinking about when I get to eat here again!

Told it's gonna be a 29 minute wait, but... found a sweet table for 4 in the bar, took all of about 5 minutes. For being so busy, had a server at our table super fast, bringing water, coffee, cocktails, mimosas, whatever you'd want. We all ordered something different. Traditional Breakfast, Light Waffle Breakfast, Chicken Fried Steak, Corned Beef Hash. Everything was really good, well, 75% of it. My son was not liking the Corned Beef Hash, odd texture, not much flavor. He did not complain... I gave him some of my side French Toast, he was a bit more happy. All in all, a great experience. Very busy, but got food ordered quickly, it came out fast, it was hot and freshly made, and tasted great. Coffee cup never went empty. Thanks for a great brunch experience.

This time around the service was really fast. What we got: Pop corn chicken (4/5) Wayyyy better than the first time i had it. You can actually taste the marinade and the meats are tender. Green tea w/ lychee jelly (3.5/5) Your typical green tea drink. Milk tea w/ pudding (4/5) Good drink; 75% sugar level was perfect!
