The coffee 16 oz come in large glasses and wasn't just ice. The servers were all nice especially when the restaurant was really busy. Even at 8:30am there was a small wait to get seated on a Sunday. I'd definitely recommend friends and family to come here especially with not many American breakfast spots in the east side of Bellevue. The seats and table were clean.

Excellent Hyatt breakfast. The reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 stars is that the buffet is…read morevery mediocre and basic for the near $30 entry fee. I didn't see anything special to justify the "Pacific Northwest experience" they advertise with the buffet. It looked like a standard breakfast buffet with stale-looking food. They even charge $6 for omelettes or egg items on top of your buffet charge. If you want quality food, order off the menu. The tiramisu waffles/pancakes is amazing. They usually come as pancakes but ask for the waffles as they are incredible. The duck duck waffle or duck confit with waffles was incredible as well. Both dishes exceeded my expectations and were 5-stars items. Nice ambiance and some horse statues around that matches the equestrian theme. Overall a really great hotel breakfast!

The tiramisu pancakes were the standout of the meal and worth trying. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience didn't quite live up to the food. The staff was friendly, but the service was noticeably slow from start to finish. The restaurant was busy, though not so crowde. The dining room also feels a bit dated and uninspiring. It's quite dark, with no windows or views, and the dark furniture adds to the somewhat gloomy atmosphere.

Husband, wife, and daughter were there the first time we went for a happy hour. They were very engaged with customers and had a good menu. We ended up coming back one more time for a takeout meal. Burger, onion rings, and samosas were the things we ordered. Loved the filling in the samosas, and the chutneys, (though we love a little heat and that was lacking). Our daughter enjoyed her burger, and the onion rings are the crispiest, most delicious onion rings I've ever had! Don't sleep on this place, wishing the family well and many years of success. The food and service are quite solid.

Bellden Cafe has it all, we've already gone several times I'm obsessed with the ube mochi waffle, it is soooo delicious (not too sweet, incredible texture and flavor). Their matcha is also lovely, I got matcha with rose syrup both times I went (so immaculate). I've turned into a bit of a matcha snob, so always looking for some good options and they hit the spot. The service is incredible, literally the people working there are the nicest people everrrr. Even on a super busy weekend morning, they were so accommodating, so friendly and even remembered us from just one visit! Really fantastic team, they really make the whole experience even MORE lovely. And the interior is jussssst so gorg!!! The decor is immaculate, there's lots of space (even when it was crowded), would be a perfect place to work from during the week, even their outdoor tables were very clean and cutie. Absolutely love, this has become a new staple of ours since moving to the east side! brunch girlies rise!!!

When we walked in, most of the indoor tables were taken, but we got lucky and snagged one right as a couple was leaving. They have a pretty extensive drink menu of coffees, teas and smoothies alongside a food selection of açaí and yogurt bowls, breakfast sandwiches, waffles, toasts and salads. Prices do seem rather steep for food (particularly for the waffles), however, this business has a great philanthropic mindset that helps explain the price points. Whenever someone orders a specialty drink, they donate some of the proceeds to a charity. + LATTE w/ MISO MAPLE syrup ($5 for 12 oz. + $1 for syrup): The coffee itself was so good - robust, with a perfect balance between the espresso and milk. I was so excited to try this unique syrup flavor, but sadly, I didn't taste it at all. No umami from the miso and not even a hint of maple. I'm not sure if this syrup is just extremely subtle, or if it was simply forgotten. I really hope it's not the latter, since I paid extra for it. + MATCHA CHIA PUDDING ($13): The bowl may look small, but it was deep and the portion turned out to be filling. A Greek yogurt base was beautifully layered with matcha chia pudding, a strawberry-rhubarb compote, granola and rose. I loved the compote which had the perfect sweetness of ripe strawberries and a little tang from the rhubarb. The matcha pudding was on the milder side, but smooth in consistency, contrasting nicely with the crunchy granola. My friend ordered the Açaí Bowl and really enjoyed it. The serving looked reasonable for the price as well. Overall, the two of us had a wonderful time here catching up over a healthy brunch! Tip: They have two small rooms available to reserve for parties of 4-6 if you're looking to secure seating for a group.

Farine really hit the spot for me, with great coffee, delicious quality food, and a nice atmosphere. You order first at the counter, and they give you a number before you find a seat. They'll bring the food out to you when it's ready. The service was excellent, and the food came out pretty quickly. Cappuccino with Oat Milk (5/5) Great-tasting coffee with low acidity and a nice, aromatic aftertaste. It was so well balanced and delicious that no sugar was needed. Breakfast Sandwich (4/5) The croissant had a nice light crisp to it, and the combination of ham, cheese, and cherry tomatoes was excellent. The croissant, however, was a bit on the oily side, and after a few bites, my fingers were glistening with oil. The ham was also a tad salty for my taste. Farine Breakfast (5/5) I've never been a fan of cooked cherry tomatoes, but these were delicious! They had a nice natural sweetness and were cooked to perfection. Everything on this plate was very satisfying and flavorful. The bread they serve, called "country bread," is very soft with a slightly chewy texture that reminds me of sourdough, but better. I also really enjoyed the potatoes, which were soft and flavorful. Manage your expectation for the sausages! It's not your usual soft sausage, but it's more of a texture that's more in line with what you taste in Europe. It tastes like you are eating actual meat and not something ultra processed. I do wish they had a better hot sauce option. The one that came with the meal was pretty tangy, while I was looking for something more like chili oil, which I think would pair much better with this dish. Overall, this is an excellent spot whether you're dining solo or with a group, since they have plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating. I'll definitely be back!

I had the combo silog (lumpia, pork chop, longanisa, Ilocos sausage, eggs, garlic rice and kamatis (tomatoes). I also split a side of corned beef (not pictured) w/ mija and a female rellie (they shared a combo silog). The food was a definite smash!!!!! The pork chop was tender, and went well with the homemade vinegar & garlic sauce. The long lumpia shanghai was GBD, and also went well with the sauce. The longanisa had a texture that reminded me of childhood, and the Ilocos sausage (that is less fatty), was a nice contrast. Lastly, the savory corned beef was a good way to finish the big portion of garlic rice. I def needed a nap after this meal. Regarding the ambiance, its a small, casual place that holds 50. You order at the front, and your food is brought to you quickly. There were a lot of Flip clients, but there were also a fair number of non-Flip clients. Many of the clients looked like regulars. The staff is super nice, and they play Hawaiian reggae in the background. All in all, an awesome experience in DT Seattle. There's a reason Ludi's is on Yelp's Top 100 list. I have a trip booked in Oct to SEA, and I'm glad my hotel is very close to Ludi's.

cute neighborhood spot for breakfast or lunch in the greenlake vicinity…read more the menu has a pretty even mix of mexican and traditional american breakfast fare but i was drawn in by the plantains so ordered katracho minus the chorizo (they grilled some tomatoes for me as a substitute.) they were fairly busy for a sunday morning and one observation i had when the food came to the table was the differing temperatures of items. my eggs were not hot but the plantains were, indicating some things had been sitting around while others had been recently prepared. the beans were in a small cup in the middle and had good flavor but also lukewarm. i didn't expect everything listed in the menu to be cut and arranged around the plate as it was. this dish had a toast or coffee cake side order and opted for sourdough; there was raspberry freezer jam on the take. taste-wise the dish was good and the service was fine. all in all, while it wasn't a standout experience it was totally acceptable on a number of levels and others appeared to be enjoying the location's offerings as well.

Oh my goodness, if you get anything at DERU, GET THE CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CAKE PLEASE…read more It's been a few weeks since I've gotten it and I still think about that cake. (I haven't justified buying a whole cake for myself, but I truly want to--and am tempted to do so) The food is great and I'd love to go back. I went on a Monday, so it wasn't as busy as it would be on the weekend. The servers are kind, and you typically order from a QR code unless you're having a hard time (and they'll help you!). Quiet space. Some parking available on site but it can get busy on the weekends from what I've heard.

Cute little place with good food and informal setting. Their dishes are pretty nicely thought out…read morebut oftentimes a number of them will be "out of stock" even leading into dinner time, but this is understandable if that's because they're aiming for freshness. What is not so great is that they've replaced human interaction and paper menus with a QR code based menu (annoying but becoming more common) and the only way to order is also through your phone (this is the part that is not common and really sucks). Been to DERU twice. First time my phone wouldn't let the order submit after polling everyone to put what they wanted into the "cart". Eventually some poor fellow who worked there had to use his little iPad and we all had to repeat ourselves to recreate the order after we'd already done the exercise on my phone. Second visit same thing- this time we had to recreate the order a few times on different peoples phones in our party until one of them could finally submit the purchase, and then they immediately started getting emails they weren't expecting as an outcome, their cell phone number was on our order ticket- so beware when you think you're just providing your credit card info- you're actually giving much more than that. We gathered for dinner to spend quality time together in real life and to get away from our phones but because of DERU's ordering system we instead spent the first 20 minutes of our dinner all on our phones. Then during the meal people would finish their glass of wine and want another- phone comes back out! This happened throughout the meal because, shockingly, people don't finish their glasses of wine at the same time, so all in all someone was pretty much on their phone close to the entire meal. Quite antithetical to the goal of human interaction and enjoying a nice dinner together. If they got rid of this ridiculous phone based menu and ordering system I would double my rating AND my tip. But at this point I may not come back for awhile.

Service was great from everybody from start to finish. Very personable and funny - I forget our waiter's name but he was great! We started off with the Pork Lumpia and those were delicious. They were also huge! We each only had one (it comes with three) and that was enough for us. For my main, I got the Huli Huli Chicken. Great portion and it was sooo good. The chicken was tender and exactly the flavor I was expecting! The tuna mac salad on the side was BOMB. I could've had way more than the serving they gave, I think that's my only complaint! Overall this was a great first experience and I can't wait to try more of the menu. Will definitely be checking out the Tukwila location next as that's closer to me.
