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. Most of their tables just seat 4 but they made 6 work for us by turning their table 90 degrees

I shared a waffle breakfast combo with a friend which comes with a waffle, 2 eggs, a salad, and some meat (I got pork sausage). Waffle was made extra crispy which I enjoyed. It comes served with their house made honey sauce and berry compote which was yum. Salad, Eggs and sausage were pretty basic. Service throughout the meal was okay. There was one server in particular that seemed grumpy? Like she was done with and over the day. Plus the fact that food took quite awhile to come out. Overall, an okay spot. Pretty standard fare with okay service and longer waits

Go to a family owned business where they actually care about customers and what they put on your plate. I have had their breakfast buffets almost a decade ago. It used to be one of the best ones in town. I don't believe they hold that title anymore. This place is severely understaffed but also what you get in the buffet doesn't even warrant the price. We decided to switch to their à la carte menu. The pluses: They seated us without a reservation on a weekend, sweet staff, the Tiramisu pancakes. The negative: 1 star for the service. I waited for plant based milk the entire time for my coffee-- it never came. My veggie hash had 0 salt and there was no salt on the table. Nor could I get anyone's attention. It was because of our table placement. I finally got someone else to get me salt after I had finished 75% of my meal. It also tasted of cast iron. The BLTA sandwich was good though. Our waitress didn't check on us until 5 minutes prior to getting the check. This place is completely off my list. I'm giving my business to another deserving spot for the Mother's Day brunch.

The venue itself is stunning--sleek, modern, and situated on one of the most beautiful streets in Bellevue. The food, ambiance, and meeting-room technology were all top tier. But above all, it was the people who made our event truly memorable. Elisa (Manager), Adrian (Assistant Manager), and team members Sienna, Luis, and Alberto delivered sensational service from start to finish. They were warm, attentive, incredibly accommodating, and consistently one step ahead of our needs. Their professionalism and hospitality helped make a critical corporate meeting feel effortless and seamless. Thanks to the Jocovine Bistro team, our event was a tremendous success--and because of this outstanding experience, we will absolutely be back. Highly, highly recommend.

I settled on the Mt Olympus toast with an extra slice of the PNW since I couldn't make up my mind. I also ordered the Belldens White Mocha, which was not overly sweet surprisingly. As I sat and ate, the place received plenty of customers who also chose to dine-in. Service was great, atmosphere was beautiful. You are expected to bus your own tables, common at small coffee shops. I street parked on the west side of the building, requiring a slight climb up the hill back to my car. It was free though, so no complaints! I would return to "work from home" or if I was in the area and looking for a cute bite. In total I paid $36, not including tip.

There's AMPLE seating - both indoors and outdoors. The clientele are a mix of people working (like…read moremyself today) or grabbing brunch/lunch together. Although the feeling sitting in is spacious, there is a good amount of ambient noise, likely bouncing off of the cement structure/framing of the building. There are floor to ceiling windows spanning the length of the place, as well as on the sides, adding to the amount of light and airy feel inside. The matcha - I was pleased to taste that they used very good quality matcha powder. The drink was smooth, creamy, and a little sweet from the vanilla syrup. The seafood tartine- I was a little disappointed to see the seafood to toast ratio. I wish they gave twice as much of the seafood mixture. That said, they did give ample toast. It was more than double the width of a normal slice. The texture of the bread was also soft. It was moist and dry at the same time - hard to describe. You could tell they didn't skimp on the butter. It reminded me a little of corn bread, but didn't taste like cornbread at all. There was a hint of sweetness as well. Honestly you could have the toast plain and it was very nice. The staff was very friendly and efficient. My food and drink came out quickly each time. They also move through customers in line pretty quickly. I would absolutely come back to work here again, or just for a cheeky coffee and pastry. Maybe next time with headphones. :) Parking - I just parked at the library and walked the couple blocks over. Additional: they have baby changing station in the lady's restroom.

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.

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.

I wanted to take both my parents out for coffee and dessert. Our waitress was an absolute dream. The service was so stellar that morning. Yes, we ate cake at 9:39 am but it was way after our breakfast and before our nice walk in downtown Kirkland. We looked at the desserts before sitting down. There was a tray of a rhubarb crumb that looked good. I asked for that and the chocolate cake. I ordered a large cappuccino, my dad an americano and my mom got a latte. While the coffees were being made someone came in and snagged the whole tray because of Mother's Day. We made a decision to get the carrot cake. Secretly I think my dad was hoping for a Carrot Cake. We enjoyed both cakes and the cake slices were huge! I love baking myself and understand ingredients are not cheap so I believe they are very much worth the price. The space was nice and clean. Everyone's food around us looked delicious. I will definitely be back to try out the food next time I come to visit.
