Stopped by Semicolon Cafe and it's such a cozy, cute café to relax in. The space feels warm and welcoming, making it a nice little spot to meet up with friends or take a casual break. We haven't tried their drinks yet, but we keep coming back for the sandwiches. The bulgogi sandwich is definitely the standout. It's flavorful with the perfect balance of sweet and savory, and always hits the spot. I also tried the chicken sandwich, which had good flavor but was a bit on the dry side for my taste. Ordering is easy since everything is done through a kiosk, and the food comes out pretty quickly, which makes it a convenient option when you want something casual without a long wait. A solid café stop if you're in Bellevue and craving a satisfying sandwich in a cozy setting. read more

This is an alright cafe. We were looking for a spot to get some coffee and some breakfast sandwiches; and we saw this spot so we decided to try it. We got a couple of coffee and sandwiches. Service is like most; you order via kiosk and they call your order when its ready. The coffee were pretty good; the sandwiches were alright. We think the concept is there and they are very "instagramable" and good for the pictures; but we felt the sandwiches were a bit lacking on flavors. It felt more of just bread, egg and meat; deff could use more if the sauce in the sandwich. Overall it was alright. Will we go again? Maybe; if we're in the area read more

Delicious, well crafted food! I love the sandwiches here! The bulgogi and lox sandwiches are my go-tos. Everything always tastes fresh and I love the way it's displayed. read more

Solid café and sandwich spot in Bellevue. The sandwich I got was more sweet and savory. The bread was soft and they put a lot of mayo on it. My latte was standard and I see myself coming back. The interiors are minimal and modern and the service is quick. read more

It's a small cafe with a little bit of window seating. Not ideal for conversations. One person waiting for a takeout and another on a laptop. Pretty slow on a Weds at lunch time. I've been wanting to try their sandwiches so got the bacon & egg one. The egg was fluffy and good, but all of the bacon was on top so by the time I got down to the bottom half of the sandwich, it was missing a main ingredient and therefore bland. The environment felt empty and not at all like a cozy cafe. And the staff weren't very friendly or welcoming. Wouldn't return. read more

Delicious, healthy, great service and menu! 10/10 Really appreciate the friendly service and smooth ordering screen. I was impressed by how the digital menu would toggle down each item and show a picture of it. Super helpful! Got to try: - mango-banana smoothie (fresh, not overly sweet, yummy!) -B.E.L.T. (bacon egg lettuce tomato; very satisfying in a farm-to-table fresh way) - Lox (so flavorful with the dill cream and smoked salmon! I loved every bite.) The egg was so fluffy and the toast was just right. read more

Went here for Saturday lunch and it wasn't exactly busy since the cafe is small but it was full!! There was no wait to order and it's through a kiosk. I just ordered to go and ate at the Bellevue park across the street. The drink came out almost right away and waited a few minutes for the sandwich. The matcha was not sweet at all and was bitter so probably was suppose to get the strawberry matcha to get some sweetness since I already had regular sweetness. It was kind of like every sip I took the matcha was very strong that it was like eating a spoonful of matcha. The bulgogi sandwich was good but the ratio was a little off to me. All the meat was at the top half of the sandwich so when I got to the bottom it was just bread. And there was a good amount of bulgogi too it was just all at the top. But the bread was good too!! read more

Semicolon Cafe - Bulgogi Sandwich Matcha Latte(no espresso) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

There's not much service. You order from an iPad, they call your name when your drink/food is ready, and you pick it up at the counter. With that being said, it was quick service. The ambiance is nice. I especially like the plants all over the place. Chicken Sandwich 4/5 The egg and the chicken were a bit bland. The sauce helped it out a bit but there wasn't much flavor otherwise. The bread is soft and on the sweeter side. Good size sandwich but still a bit overpriced imo. Tiramisu Latte 4.5/5 Good sweetness level and flavors but tasted a bit watered down. read more

Yummy place for sandwiches in a very relaxing, cafe-like setting though at a somewhat high price. This place is so clean and simple inside, and a nice minimalistic place to take a break as well... kinda what a semicolon does for a run-on sentence, so the whole atmosphere matches its name. I got here with a friend on a Friday around 12pm and there were a couple tables available. There aren't many tables to begin with though, and only one or two tables for groups larger than 4. I came here specifically for their sandwich and drinks, and that's exactly what my friend and I got. For this visit, I had the BELT (bacon, eggs, lettuce and tomatoes) sandwich and a Lady Matcha (with no sugar or milk adjustments), while my friend had their bulgogi sandwich and mango ade (at half-sweet). The BELT is nothing short of amazing, but also nothing rather special about it either. It's pretty small, and for almost $12 before tax it's pretty expensive. The presentation, color and way that the bread and condiments just perfectly squish together got me wanting to eat the sandwich and skip taking pictures altogether because it looked so good! And taste wise it doesn't disappoint. Eggs are fluffy and soft, and bacon has tons of flavor even though it wasn't as crisp as I imagined it would be. I got a bite of the bulgogi in my friend's sandwich and the meat was nicely flavored though a little bit dry. His sandwich was 50 cents more expensive than mine before tax. As for our drinks, the Lady Matcha really hit the spot on such a warm day, and same goes for my friend's mango ade! The matcha wasn't anything eye-opening but adding the strawberry milk had a nice, sweet kick to it though I wasn't sure about the added popcorn on top; aesthetically I loved it but I had to get it out with a spoon. My friend and I agreed that the mango ade is prefect when half-sweet; if it was any more sweet then it'd be too much to handle. Both drinks were reasonably priced compared to other places I've gotten similar drinks from. It felt very relaxing to sit inside here, and my friend and I easily spent nearly an hour just enjoying our food and chatting. This is definitely a high recommend for me even with the small shortcomings! read more

We swung by this spot bc we knew we'd be in the area and found this in Yelp close to Bellevue Square. Initially, we saw the higher price for the sandwiches but figured let's give it a try. So glad we did. The store is nice but not elaborate. Parking is validated for 2 hours (parking next door). We decided to order 2 sandwiches (BELT & Bulgogi) and 2 lattes (Lady Matcha & Tiramisu). We enjoyed the food. I would recommend giving this cafe a try - for sure. I'd come back if I get a chance. read more

loved the Chicken Sandwich and the spiceness. the mushroom Shroom Sandwich was great as well. i wish they allowed customization to the Avocado Sandwich so that I could have the egg on the side and added some jalapenos and spicy sauce. the Strawberry Banana smoothie was amazing.. not sweet and perfect smoothie. read more

Yeah this isn't the type of egg sandwich you could make yourself at home. It's so beautifully made with great flavors too. Places like eggslut has nothing on this type of egg sandwich. Between the fluffy japanese milk bread, all the colorful variety and the fluffy egg. I chose the sos because i was so curious about the kiwi sauce although I don't think I really caught it in all that was happening in the sandwich. Didn't stop me from majorly enjoying it though. read more

Got the matcha bomb and bulgogi sandwich! The Sammie was delicious with the perfect balance of the meat, egg, and veggies. Love that they don't cut the bread all the way as that prevents everything from falling out. 10/10 would go again! The matcha bomb was really strong! The store itself was really cute I think it would be a cute place to study. read more

I got the lady matcha without the crunch on top! The matcha was savory, not bitter at all AND complimented so well with the strawberry milk. I don't know if it was strawberry milk, but it taste like it haha. The barista working was so so friendly! I was having a bad day, maybe it showed on my face but she knew what to say and how to say it to cheer me up. The aesthetic in this cafe is so nice! I can't get over the modern interior with the touch of wood furniture and greenery from plants. It's chic with comfortability and feel like cafes have trouble doing concepts like this. read more

I got the bulgogi sandwich which was pretty good in the beginning but towards the end there wasn't much of the egg/bulgogi left and the sauce was only drizzled on the top. I'd like it better if there was more sauce tbh. The tiramisu latte was good! It was pretty sweet and had chocolate chunks in it. read more

Service: Ordering is done via iPad at the counter--quick and efficient. Persons behind the counter seemed friendly and efficient when prompted, but did not help with the ordering process. Seating: Limited seating available. Ambiance: Clean, organized, and typical of a fast-casual setup. Food: I ordered the avocado sandwich, which looked just like the photos. It was good, but nothing remarkable. Price: Around $12+ for the sandwich. Recommendation: It's just okay -- a light snack to eat if you're in the area. I wouldn't go out of my way to return for the avocado sandwich. I didn't try their drinks or other menu items, so can't speak to those. read more

I still stand by what I said in my previous review, but again, would be open to trying other things. I do think the sandwiches are very aesthetic, but not sure if I'd still pay this price every time. It is still difficult to park around this area, especially now with CHICHA San Chen a block or two away. read more

my favorite cafe in the area, I drive from Seattle and prefer this cafe over the cafes there. This is my top recommendation. my most preferred matcha latte in the area so I come here often, I like working here, too and parking is easy. Great and friendly people. I do wish they'd stay open later but everything closes at 5 pm it seems here for cafes. Their other drinks look interesting and I do want to try them, too. read more

Nice and soft sandwiches. Pretty unique! A little higher end in price but it's good for a snack/little more than a snack (brunch?) I like their sandwiches a lot and the interior is clean and simple. Pretty modern like. The staff were nice and got the food out pretty well. The sauce does soak through the papers so it is best to eat it as soon as you can. I had to walk with it to the car and was waiting to eat it later when I was more settled. Other than that, pretty decent in flavor wise. I would get it every now and then but not very often. read more

* sampled the menu @ Semicolon Cafe* Brioche sandwiches with a Korean twist! We ordered 6 sandwiches with their BOGO 20% deal. Of all the sandwiches, my favorite was the bulgogi. I typically don't like bulgogi but the sweet marinade goes well with scrambled eggs, grilled corn, and mayo. The toast felt light so you won't get too full. My least favorite is the salmon with dill - flavorful but I don't like dill at all. I used the kiosk to order and it was quick to come out afterwards read more

Cute little cafe on second street. Only food options they have are the different types of sandwiches on their toasted brioche bread and scrambled eggs. The sandwich was really yummy, they had a sauce that brought a kick to it and the whole thing was so thick and difficult to fit into one bite! Paired with lemonade drink was perfect on a hot day. Parking is free two hours at the garage directly next door with the code ONE88SEMI if you download the LAZ Parking app. They also have some promo deals if you order online pick up or delivery but if you eat in store you can also enter the promo code while paying for dine in! I managed to snag $2 off a drink after ordering a sandwich. read more

I love fluffy Korean sandos!! Semicolon has such a beautiful modern ambiance and love the interior design. Overall pretty spacious with lots of natural light and seating; perfect for anything from quick morning bite to a spot to sit down and do some work. Relatively empty and no wait on a Monday morning @9am. They have a solid amount of savory selections for sando flavors (including veggie options). I personally loved the Tuna sando, so creamy and balanced out with a slight kick of wasabi sauce. The service was friendly and efficient, you also have the option to place your order from a kiosk. Price point seemed super reasonable to me (granted here in the Bay Area, CA, similar Korean sandos go for $16+). Highly recommend and can't wait to be back! Would love to try the drinks and desserts next time. read more

I saw someone on YouTube give good reviews here, so I decided to give this cafe a try. I got there around 4 PM on a Monday and I had intended to order a bingsoo, but I guess they said the machine was either not working or they were cleaning it. Strange and disappointing. I ended up ordering the Lady Matcha and the BELT which came with bacon, scrambled eggs, veggies, and mustard mayo sauce. Both came out to be a total around $18... so expensive! The sandwich was on the smaller size and was just OK. The way they scrambled the eggs were pretty good and I liked that, but overall it felt like a "I could make this at home," type of sandwich. The matcha drink was also average tasting and nothing spectacular. It just tasted like strawberry milk with matcha. I didn't like the popcorn on top because it got soggy towards the end of the drink unless you open up the cup and dig it out. Too bad the bingsoo was unavailable or else I would've been really excited to try it. read more

Good and filling egg sandwich, but a bit pricey. This spot is a chain that I've been wanting to check out for a while now, and finally got the chance to. Its quite small inside but theres a good number of tables. You order on a kiosk and they call your name/number when ready. I got the bulgogi sandwich which had a good amount of meat with fluffy bread. The sauce was really good! I thought the bread wasn't as thick and fluffy as I like, and it got quite soggy on the bottom too. For a grab and go this is not a bad option at all! read more

I had been wanting to try this place for a while and finally had the chance after visiting the Bellevue Botanical Garden last weekend. We came in for lunch and ordered by kiosk at the front counter. I ordered the spicy chicken egg sandwich plus a matcha bomb, then took a seat at the high table by the windows to wait. The wait wasn't too long, and my food and drink were served on a little wooden tray. I was looking forward to having an egg toast experience like I had when I was living in Korea, but unfortunately I have to say I was disappointed in the one I got. The chicken was thick but not wide, so it was basically a 2-bite chunk which left me with soggy bread for the rest of the sandwich. The brioche roll was.. unrolling while I ate, so as I was holding it, there would just be strips of bread that would unfurl with each bite. The egg had no flavor, so it all came down to the sauce that was drizzled on top, which was a nicely spiced sauce. I'd be willing to give another flavor a try, but would not be making my way back to Bellevue just to do that. The matcha bomb was good - it was matcha with a shot of espresso. It seemed like there may have been black sesame in it? Either that or a TON of espresso bean flakes made their way into the drink. My friend had gotten a matcha latte, which was a bit confusing as she ended up with very light green milk, essentially (minimal matcha flavor). Overall, it was so-so. Satisfied the hunger though. read more
