We were looking for a spot with a view for lunch on a Monday to enjoy some gorgeous rare spring weather. Sound View is unassuming from the exterior but if you're lucky enough to get a spot along the wall of windows BAM you've got a front row seat to watch the ferries and boat traffic come and go. This is no frills, rather hands off spot where you walk up to order prior to sitting. It appears they also have a salad bar option but it was closed for our visit (thanks Covid). We did the Sound View burger and salmon sandwich and agree with others that food service seemed slow. The burger comes with all the fixings on the side so you can assemble as you'd like and instead of using ketchup it's served with a garlic aioli which was really good. No complaints from from hubs on the salmon sandwich but was a bummer that it's an upcharge to have it be served with a side of fries. We'd absolutely check them out again, with so many fried, baked and sweet options in the market a full salad bar sounds divine. read more

I had gotten the chicken marsala. The noodles and sauce were both good... but the chicken didn't have much flavor. My friend had gotten a burger. He said the burger was good, but the fries weren't good at all. If you're looking for a sit-down place inside the Pike Place Market, this is one of the few spots. They also have tables next to the windows with a view of the water, which is pretty and sunny (when the weather is nice). I think you can find more delicious eateries in and around the market though. read more

This place is good for getting coffee or enjoying light snacks. The seafood is fresh, but the food presentation is lacking. The staff are super friendly, and the view is nice, with the whole bay in front of you. However, the cleanliness of the place is lacking, and the food presentation could be improved. It feels like they're just throwing a bunch of things together and putting it in front of you. read more

Located in Pike Place Market, this cafe has great views of the sound, good food and Bloody Mary's. The staff are friendly and social distancing is enforced. Hand sanitizer at the door is also provided. Food is great for breakfast and was well cooked and tasted great! The philly steak hash is a must get. If your in the area and wanting a decent bite, stop here and get some food and drinks. read more

Got to the market right when they were closing that but wanted to go for a little walk about Open some of the restaurants would still be open. Most were closed and then we found this little nugget at the end of the lower level. Thrilled to see that it was opened after everything else was closing so we went inside to see what they had. Nice surprise! It wasn't very crowded we were able to easily get a beautiful seat with a beautiful view. Service was good even though we had to walk up and pay at the counter. Really have no complaints. I definitely recommend the mushroom ravioli with the Alfredo pesto sauce. Yum yum! I added a side of shrimp and let me tell you, the shrimp was cooked absolutely perfect. I did not have them put it with the ravioli, put on the side and I'm so glad I did. They are some of the biggest prawns, I've seen in a while. Definitely what you expect from the PPM, but the cook on them was perfect! You could definitely tell that whoever was cooking that day had experience and seafood. The sound view Burger was also cooked well at a medium rare and had everything you expected in your basic Burger. Drink to a good and view is phenomenal. Drink were part foe the market. The double cranberry zombie is one of my favorites. Great little hidden gem in a town I've loved all my life. Definitely well worth a try. :-) read more

We had a wonderful lunch at SVC. The salmon sandwich had the most delectable and perfectly cooked salmon and the cheese & chicken quesadilla was equally impressive. We had requested they leave the chicken on the side for our picky grandson. When they brought out the order they realized they had mixed it in. They realized the error before they brought out the order and said they would make another one before we even noticed so we wound up with 2 Quesadilla orders. Yum! The service was outstanding from the order counter through the wait staff. They turned what was already a good day into a Great day for us read more

Great view, good clam chowder. Non pretentious. Friendly service. Cool vibe. Unknown.

I really don't recommend this place unless you want bland and overpriced food. The clam chowder was okay but the seafood bowl is a whole another story. It was straight up white rice with a few pieces of what seems like boiled salmon and prawns, and two eggs on top. There was no effort put into that dish. It looked like something a 10 year old could make in the kitchen. All this for almost $60. Absolutely insane. read more

Great salmon bisque with nice chunks of salmon. Wonderful jo-jo potato wedges with a decent salmon sandwich. A respite in the hustle and bustle of Pike Place that has highchairs - good place to take a little one out of a stroller to eat - and quick service (order at a counter is fabulous with littles). Self-serve water and clean tables. It was cloudy/rainy/cold when we were there, but can imagine the views on a clear day are amazing. Happy to give a good review, but in non-tourist times, also love that we found a quiet spot for a quick food break and amazing soup that doesn't break the bank! read more

Sound View Cafe is one of Seattle's hidden gems. Tucked away on the left side of Pike Place Market, they have a bustling but well-designed space, featuring a cozy vibe and lovely views. Like most restaurants these days, it's a little pricey, but considering the area it's hardly outrageously so. There were two real stand out aspects for me: first and foremost was the excellent service. The assistant manager, Aundi, was really busting her butt, managing I don't even know how many tables on her own. She had her hands full (literally and figuratively) but always had a smile. Seriously, the kindness and goodness just emanates from her. Very cool lady. The second thing I'll mention is the toffee butter cake - a steal at $5.95. So delicious! The clam chowder in bread bowl is good too, if you like a thick, creamy, filling chowder. Also note they have glasses of wine ($10.95/glass for house white or red), which isn't a great price -- but taking a few moments to escape the hubbub of PPM makes it 100% worth it. So cheers, then, to Sound View Cafe, Aundi, a chilled glass of white, and delicious toffee butter cake. read more

Unfortunately, not only did the food take forever to reach us, the bagel tasted like rubber and rather Plasticky! I wasn't expecting a New York Bagel quality, but I did not expect the food to be this bad either! Also, the salad leaf look unwashed and had mud splits on it! Yuck. So, not going back there ever again! read more

Quaint little spot in Pike Place Market's lower stores section, serving soups and small meals. We got the Veggie Soup with Tomatoes (sorry no picture) and it was lovely! The soup was all vegan--I asked. There were tables near the window and inside the store, as well as extra seating "upstairs". The view is of the bay and ships as well as land on the other side. Cheap food and free water. read more

I was actually a bit disappointed. We were in Seattle and had seen this spot when walking through Pike Place Market the day before and decided to give it a try. It was terribly crowded. My husband waited in line to order so I went looking for a table by the window. There were a couple leaving and I went to get it when a lady, standing behind me, swooped in, glared at me and said, "I was here first. " Um OK, actually I was, but that is OK. Not worth getting in a fight over a stupid table. I was able to get a seat where we could still see the water, but the whole nasty experience was off setting. My husband put in our order, got us both coffees while I sat and staked my claim on the table I was able to find. The coffee was just OK. It improved with generous application of sugar and cream. Our food was brought to the table. I ordered the classic eggs Benedict, my husband had the salmon scramble. Both were OK, nothing bad, but definitely uninspired. The english muffin was large and soft and slightly sweet. The Hollandaise sauce was very thick and heavy with more dill flavor than lemon. I really was not wild about the flavor. It also had spinach and tomato on it. The spinach was ok but the tomato was not good with the rest of the ingredients. The potatoes were just too much added starch on top of the large, pasty muffin. I probably would not go out of my way to eat here. I definitely would not come again when it is this crowded. read more

Do the duo crab cakes. They're were really tasty. The side sauce is really good. Skip the clam chowder. It was tasty, but we couldn't find the clams. Bagel and egg sandwich is hard to mess up. The bagel needed to be toasted both sides. It was okay. Service wasn't the best. Yelling names and looking at multiple people is not the way to go. read more

Cute little place with a good view in the Pike Place market. It seemed to be more of a soup and salad place. The salad bar was not available due to COVID and it was 100 degrees in Seattle that day so I was not going with soup. They had a limited menu due to COVID. I went with the turkey BLT and potato wedges. Both were good but kind of hard to mess it up. I did not wait long for my food. It was pricey; $40 for 2 sandwiches with fries and 2 drinks. read more

Came here for breakfast last week. Great location, quick service, and a nice view (though on that particularly morning, it was gloomy outside). The cafe was on the plain side, but I noticed on the wall there were some framed photos, including one of Pike Place way back when. I love touches like that! I ordered the breakfast option with two eggs any style, two sausage links or strips of bacon, and two french toast slices or pancakes. Got mine scrambled, with sausage and french toast but coworker opted for the pancakes and we shared. Breakfast was delicious, no complaints at all. We also each had a bowl of fruit from the salad bar. I liked the food and would come here again, but I agree with others that the selling point is the view of the bay. 3.5 stars. read more

One of the soups of the day is always vegetarian or vegan, from the looks of it - on a day I was craving some hot comfort food without the meat protein, the black bean chili was there to save the day. Also worth noting - the soup was available at 10 in the morning, perfect for wary travelers stepping off the Link rail bringing them to the typically chilly downtown in the morning. The views can't be beat and I will be sure to check out the salad bar (which looked delectable even at 10 at the morning, when most restaurants are only setting out the offerings) and some seafood items. read more

We used to love coming to this Pike's place staple. Had breakfast recently and was sadly disappointed. I mean, when you have an iconic location, please at least try harder....over priced for the quality of the meal. If nothing else, how bout better coffee? read more

Some like it Hot!!! And I happen to be included in the "some" Flavors were great. View was awesome! I wanted a down to earth place with a great Seattle Bay view and this place is just that! Unfortunately, the service left us cold. And by that, I mean cold food. I wanted to ask the server to please nuke my food but he never returned. They never asked how our dinner was or would we like a second drink. Seafood platter was 23$ and a beer was 4$. When they finally came back to give us the bill, then they asked. I said "okay" and that's what it was...okay. No concern, whatsoever. Next time I'd sit in the front and be a little more assertive. I think that would have helped a lot. read more

What's different? They call out your name when your food is ready. They say" Good morning Janet"! You acknowledge it's yours and they bring you your food. Long wait for breakfast. About 30 minutes. For two it was about $30+ tax. It's in the Pike Place market so the $$ is quiet understandable. But did i detect a taste of fish on my eggs? I detected the same taste on my potatoes as well. I swear I did! Was it used oil that they used? I don't know but it was awful on an over easy egg. Almost made me gag. The deal here is: You walk in. You order from their menu. You find yourself a table and you wait ...and wait... There is a view of the water here...but so is the restaurant next door. read more

Seafood bowl with prawns, salmon potatoes, scrambled eggs and capers was incredible. Nice view of Elliott Bay.

Great view to sit and enjoy a meal at Pike Place! The location is great. You can see the ferris wheel and waterfront. Service is just ok. Servers aren't really friendly; we didn't feel very welcomed. The food was mediocre. The clam chowder was watery and wasn't really special. It did come with a bag of oyster crackers. Lots of clams and carrots in it. It got the job done since we were craving chowder. Philly steak burger was ok. The potato wedges it came with were bland. The burger itself was huge so it might be worth its value. Probably wouldn't order again. read more

Stopped in for a quick, late, lunch and grabbed a table by the windows for a great view of the water and surrounding scenery! Didn't want anything too heavy so ordered the grilled veggie seafood after inquiring what it was. Grilled vegetables with seafood and a dipping sauce. Sounds good!!!! Food arrived as expected grilled vegetables, salmon and shrimp. I thought it was supposed to have another seafood, maybe scallops or squid, but maybe not. Vegetables and seafood were sitting in oil on top off leaf lettuce. The last piece of salmon wasn't completely done, but I was beyond full at that point so I wasn't concerned. Very filling plate of food and fairly healthy. Not sure what the dipping sauce was, it looked like Russian dressing or remoulade sauce, but I didn't try it. Fairly quick service from order to delivery. I'd recommend giving it a try. They don't have a huge amount of seating so if you come in at a busy meal time you might have a significant wait to order and be seated. read more

Sound view cafe had a very good first impression on me, wonderful view, warm environment, could smell the good food from outside. And that impresion continued throughout my whole stay within the cafe. I ordered the Flame Burger as well as a cup of coffee. While the coffee wasn't really anything to write home about, being your standard diner coffee. The burger was a pleasant surprise. The bread was fresh, the burger juicy, and the french fries fat and spiced. My only issue was that the patty was a little thin, however the food was still a treat for the price. All together only paying $16. If your in pikes place and in need of a fantastic view of the water and some good cheapish food, I would definitely recommend Sound View Cafe. read more
