    This is a very big interior with very comfortable seating. The food came out pretty quick and I thought it was very good. However, I think the portions were a bit small for a breakfast place. Usually, I want to have so much food that I can take leftovers home, but for others it's reasonable. I thought the hash browns lacked some of the potato flavor and the eggs Benedict were very good but nothing stood out to make this a five star.

    For a cafe that's been around for a L-O-N-G time, this place still has it. It's clean, comfortable, and inviting. The owners obviously believe in maintaining the premises and take pride in the restaurant, and it shows in its longevity and excellent appearance. And that pride extends to the kitchen. There's nothing flashy here, but there is plenty of great comfort food. And it's well executed with quality ingredients and a shot of love. Perfect execution. Well prepared and cooked. Pies come from the newer sister location, the Sammamish Cafe, which has an onsite baking facility. This location is older (but you would not know it by looking) and has a cafe kitchen. How did I not review this place before now? Don't know. But this is a wonderful cafe experience. One of the best.

    Avocado and sausage Eggs Benedict with fruit
    Alison P.

    Haven't been here in a few years. Said wait was 45 minutes but only waited 20. Had an avocado & sausage Eggs Benedict with fruit. So very good and filling. Probably one of the best I've had. Place was very crowded, but not too noisy. Scored a booth. Nice and friendly wait people, especially the young tall black man who was extremely polite!

    Loved the friendly vibes here! The staff was friendly and efficient. I appreciated the consistency across the different locations. I enjoyed the eggs Benedict and scrambled eggs as usual! Definitely will come back again Parking was easy as there was a parking lot!

    It's so warm and welcoming here. They're so good about seating you very promptly. The food is great. Especially the fluffy pancakes. My husband loved the 1/2 order of Meat Lover's egg white omelette. There was still enough to take home. You can expect a great atmosphere and dedicated service. Plenty of parking.

    1/2 order of Corn beef Hash (cooked in house), one egg over easy && biscuit & gravey

    While on business in Seattle I was looking for a bomb breakfast place and found this place. Located amongst a busy shopping center, was this little gem. The Saw Mill Cafe, had a great bustling welcoming environment, which we were immediately welcomed at the door by multiple employees. The food was a plus to the environment of the restaurant. I ordered half an order of their house made corn beef hash with one over easy egg and got a biscuit with gravy. The corn beef was good good && there was so much meat inside of the hash. I ordered the biscuit with gravy for my husband to eat but I also tried it. The gravy was thick and seasoned well that paired well with their thick but fluffy biscuit. The husband ordered their 6oz steak rare with two easy eggs. The steak was very tender and well seasoned. 10/10 would suggest for a good reasonably priced breakfast place.

    Corned Beef Hash & Biscuit

    If you dine at Saw Mill Cafe, and I strongly suggest you do, and you have Bridgette take care of you, you will have a fantastic experience! My FDD, who shall be known as My Favorite Traveling Companion for the time being, and I were looking for a place to have breakfast where we could sit and have great food before starting our day. A Yelp search, (thank you Yelpers!) brought us here. We are both avid coffee drinkers, and Bridgette made sure that our cups were never empty. Always a great start when that happens! Even more impressive to me was that they served packets of freezer jam made with real sugar instead of sickly sweet jelly made with high fructose corn syrup. My FTC ordered the corned beef hash with a side of biscuit & gravy. The corned beef was tender and flavorful; the portion size, extra hearty. The biscuit was so big that he only ate half. The gravy was smooth except for the chunks of sausage, and extremely tasty. I got the Soprano omelet, and was very happy that I did. The chicken sausage was great, better than most that I've eaten, and there was lots of cheese holding everything together. If we are ever back this way, I'm sure we will be returning.

    Almond crunch French toast

    We came here on a weekend. They were pretty busy and there was a long wait. We ordered almond crunch French toast and ranchero omelet. They were both very good!

    Cinnamon roll French toast

    Chefs kiss! If this restaurant wasn't 30+ min from home for me, my family and I would eat here every weekend. The staff is so kind and friendly! There is usually a very long wait during the weekends but it's only because they're so good! I have visited this restaurant quite a few times but the picture below is of one of their specials - cinnamon roll French toast - so it's not on the menu unfortunately but it was so so so so good.

    We come here about once a month, sometimes with a reservation and sometimes as a walk-in. Even when we walk in, the wait is usually quicker than expected. The customer service is always attentive--they make sure our coffee is refilled and check in to see if we need anything. The food is consistently fresh and never disappoints. Always a reliable spot.

    Strawberry crepes (half order)
    Barry C.

    Rock solid breakfast. what more can you saw. I love they have the ability to jump on the waitlist via online and they text you updates and you can text them updates as well. plenty of parking at the Mill Creek Town Center and upon entering our table was ready and we were cheerfully greeted by the friendly staff. Onto the food. 1) Egg breakfast. We ordered the half order, but they made us the full order. eggs, crispy bacon, hash brown and bread. Standard fare. only wish the hash browns comes out crispier. 2) Veggie hash. hash brown mixed with a really good variety of veggies topped with poached eggs and an avocado cream. add some hot sauce and you are golden. the only area of improvement for this would be crispier potatoes. Not sure who likes soggy hash browns, but a few more minutes on the griddle would have been perfect. And I got TWO good sized biscuits and they were good. 3) Strawberry crepes (half order). Pretty standard crepes. Kids loved it. 4) Kids egg breakfast. can't miss on this with the crispy bacon and scrambled eggs. give me a slice of cheese and I would make a sandwich out of it! Saw Mill Cafe is a family favorite and if you are in the surrounding Mill Creek area, check this place out for breakfast or lunch. You will not be disappointed.

    Avocado Toast
    Vikram M.

    Visited the Saw Mill Cafe for lunch over a weekend. Place is very crowded and we were seated in few mins. Make reservations if you can. We ordered the Avocado Toast, Soprano Omelette and kids sandwich. The portion sizes and food were good. Overall a good experience.

    Are the cinnamon rolls made so they have thin layers or is it a thicker type of roll?

    We stopped doing the “gigantic” cinnamon roll a few years ago since they were difficult to share and too ubiquitous in the area. An order at the cafe now consists of 4 smaller cinnamon rolls with thinner layers that are tightly wound. Its still the… Read more

Right away, I thought the interior (marble tables and matching booth) was super cute! This is what we ordered: Oreo Milk Shake The Oreo milkshake was rich, creamy, and delicious with a generous amount of whip cream on top! Chicken Souvlaki (Shish Kabob) and Chicken Gyro Today I learned that souvlaki is marinated meat (typically chicken, pork, or lamb) grilled on skewers while gyros are usually a combo of beef, pork, or lamb cooked on a rotisserie and shaved off in thin slices. Honestly, they both tasted kind of the same despite the different preparation of the meat. Both dishes were not the worst but not the best. The meat could've used a little more salt but the tzatziki sauce was delicious! Chicken Melt This was probably the best savory entree! The sandwich had the perfect crunch that was followed with the creaminess of the cheese and the flavor from the grilled onion and chicken. Pancakes These pancakes here are comparable to the ones I've had at Rusty Pelican and Sawmill Café- super yummy! As for our entrees, it comes with a side of either fries, salad, soup, or fruit. My mother and I got the soup which was beef and vegetables and my sister got a salad. The soup was nice and hearty with a generous amount of meat and veggies and the salad was... well a salad haha. If I were to come back, I would probably just stick to the classic American dishes instead of the Greek dishes.

I never really felt compelled to write a review until now. I ordered the Woodin Creek salad two weekends in a row and had to comment on the missed quality of the greens. The first time I ordered the larger portion and was discouraged to order it again, so I got the smaller portion hoping the quality could be better controlled. I always order dressings on the side and it truly is for this reason alone, you can observe the freshness of the salad bed. This was from the salad this past weekend but the one prior was no different. Having to eat around my food, having it placed to the side and our servers not addressing the clear quality issues is disheartening. Green goo in our salad is a no-go for us.

Our neighborhood's monthly Men's Night was held there with 13 of us in attendance, and they all agreed that it will fall into "the rotation." All of us were greeted by Erik, who took our orders individually as we all go Dutch. His (and Austin's) patience levels were on overdrive, dealing with 13 hungry guys! They both get an A-plus for their service! And with the exception of a couple guys ordering the cheeseburger, we all ordered different things. Here's a few observations from my end - all dishes were loved by everyone: - Chicken Noodle Salad - excellent, and a meal...you won't leave hungry - Fish tacos - 2 to an order, with perfectly-fried cod...and the slaw was superb - Mussels and clams - both guys thought they were the best they have had - Clam chowder - rich, thick, and creamy - Grilled cheese/tomato soup - excellent, and filling with a great cheese-to-toast ratio By the way, the burgers were all Wagyu...very juicy. I don't believe you can go wrong with any menu item, quite honestly, and they were able to serve us all at the same time even though we ordered at the counter separately! Thanks Erik and Austin for a great experience - see you again, maybe this summer when we can all sit outside!

The matcha tasted pretty watered down and lacked the rich, earthy flavor that good matcha usually has. It felt more like lightly colored milk than a proper matcha drink. I also had high expectations for the blueberry flavor, but unfortunately it tasted a bit like cough syrup rather than a natural blueberry flavor. It kind of overpowered the drink in a a way that didn't feel very balanced. The signs for the matcha flavors were also a bit sticky and dirty (as shown in the picture), which gave me the ick a little -- a quick wipe down would make the experience feel a lot cleaner for people trying the matcha flight. The coconut matcha and lavender matcha were actually very good flavor-wise, but the matcha itself still wasn't very strong. I think the drinks could really improve if the matcha base was more bold and if some of the flavor options tasted a bit more natural. The café itself is cute and the vibe is nice, which is why I'm giving three stars. I would definitely come back again, and my review could easily change if the matcha becomes stronger in the future. Matcha can be amazing when it's done right, so I hope they refine the recipe a bit.
