Butter pancakes with berries
Maria O.

Randomly found this little gem passing by! What a cute little place. Loved the ambiance- very sweet, local, friendly and authentic. Super nice and welcoming personnel, which brings in the homey and sweet vibes and make experience super relaxed and enjoyable. A lot of cool food options you can choose from. Loved the food- "smoked salmon Benedict" is something, and this place have at least 3 options of those!!! With ham or with the fish(salmon), you can definitely find something. Overall everything was delicious and super pretty. Great side of potatoes, could eat them for days! Also, coffees were especially cool. Great cup to start a day. Initially we came in only for those, but everything looked so tasty and smelled so good, that we stayed for a whole meal! Definitely advising this place to everyone!!!!!! It's pretty light and nice atmosphere, and luckily for us had empty spots when we walked in. Prices are affordable and environment is cute. Portions are good for sharing)

Chicken & Waffle (with two eggs)
Gerry L.

I'd intended to walk down to Ludi's but didn't feel like it so I tried the Spruce Café in the hotel. I ended up ordering one of my favorite dishes ... Chicken and Waffle ($21) and coffee ($4.75). This was a very interesting take on this dish ... the chicken came as a string of six pieces of battered, fried chicken sitting on two (easy over) eggs, atop a Belgian-style waffle. A dusting of powdered sugar over the chicken and a small container of maple syrup completed the dish. I asked my server to request the kitchen make the waffle extra crispy as the heat from the chicken and eggs softens the middle of the waffle. Alas, it didn't come that way so I scarfed down the chicken and eggs so I could eat a somewhat crispy waffle. My meal was okay but could have been better. $34.41, including 20% tip and credit card surcharge.

Cute spot located just a couple blocks from our hotel. Tried the pancakes after reading the reviews. Stack of three with berries and mascarpone. Really good and I finished everything on my plate. Good strong drip coffee too. Restaurant was busy and we had to wait for a table. There is a cute little area with overstuffed chairs at the entrance to wait.

Smoked salmon Benedict
Jani M.

The service here is quick and friendly. The bathroom is on a different floor of the hotel. The food I felt was well priced for the portions you get. I got the smoked salmon omelet was so good. I also got a chai latte. My friend got a biscuit latte and the smoked salmon Benedict. Both of us really enjoyed our food. 4 stars only cause the drinks were so hot you couldn't touch them for a bit and the bathroom being hard to get to.

Buttermilk Pancakes with Fruit
Samantha T.

Cute little cafe inside the hotel. The buttermilk pancakes are to die for. They were mouth watering and cooked to perfection, I ordered mine without the mascarpone. The Bischoff Latte was good, but a bit too sweet for my liking. Our waiter Juan was amazing! Really welcoming, friendly and provided us with some tips and recommendations while visiting Seattle. Overall nice experience and great service in a well maintained and clean environment.

Pumpkin Spice Latte - in APRIL!!
Lulu V.

In town for a conference from Dallas and have been searching for a yummy, reasonably priced breakfast spot and I am so glad I found Spruce Cafe!! They open at 7am everyday and are located in the Paramount Hotel just steps from the convention center. Real deal espresso and yummy flavored espresso drinks (I got a PSL in APRIL y'all!), and great food. A huge bowl of fresh fruit for $6, incredibly delicious Greek yogurt for $4, and the most delicious honey I've ever had IN MY LIFE. Service was good, especially considering they got pretty busy after I got there. The cafe itself is super cute with a clean atheistic. Love it. My only suggestion is whomever is making their sourdough bread needs to add more salt to the dough but, the sourdough flavor itself was great - very tangy!

Vanilla Latte
Sean D.

I stopped in for breakfast during my visit to Seattle and was promptly greeted and seated by a nice server. My breakfast sandwich with potatoes was brought out within 10 minutes and was delicious. I also had a vanilla latte which was perfect. Loved the quiet seating area with a nice window view. I really enjoyed Spruce Cafe.

Working away.  White Mocha.

Spruce Coffee Shop is super convenient for us, located inside the Paramount Hotel. We connected to the Wi-Fi and had breakfast and coffee while getting some work done. I had the waffle with sugar butter and syrup, hit the spot. The cup of fruit was fresh. I also had a white mocha, which was tasty and gave me the kick I needed. Overall, I'd give it a 3 out of 5. Service was average at best, felt rushed to order. While the location is convenient and the food hit the spot, it was just okay, nothing to really rave about.

Spruce Cafe, located inside the Paramount Hotel, is a fantastic spot for breakfast. It is convenient if you're staying at the hotel. Quick and friendly services. Great vibes. We ordered the waffles, a fresh fruit bowl, and a white mocha, all of which were delicious. The waffles were fluffy, the fruit was fresh, and the white mocha was a great pick-me-up. It's definitely worth checking out if you're in the area! Or if you just want to get some work done.

Classic Benedict
Pietro P.

This restaurant is not going to be a breakfast destination, but it is a very passable breakfast option if you don't want to stray too far from the hotel it is located in

The Spruce Cafe is on the ground floor of the Paramount Hotel, and a block away from the Camlin, where we were staying. When this location was The Dragonfish, we ate breakfast regularly, so we decided to give the new incarnation a try, and are glad we did. The service was friendly and efficient, the Bloody Mary was tasty, and we enjoyed our brunch. My wife had the french toast, which was gorgeous and huge and, according to her, very good. My classic eggs Benedict was nicely done, with lots of basically seasoned (good by me) fried potatoes. When we return to the Camlin, we will breakfast here again.

What's interesting about Spruce Cafe is that it shares the same location as Chan Seattle restaurant (where we were last night). In the day, the location is Spruce Cafe and in the evening, it is Chan Seattle. At Spruce, they serve a small but varied breakfast menu and the presentation and taste was on point. It's a perfect little place to enjoy an espresso or cappuccino or some OJ while you people watch, do some work, or catch up on the news.

One visit was earlier in the morning, and the place was packed. The line was nearly out the door. The second time was later in the morning; the pastries were wiped out, and the place was still decently full of coffee drinkers. I ended up visiting the second time because of their very cool merch selection, and I regretted not buying a shirt I liked the first time. I only tried the espresso here, though they had many other tasty-sounding drinks and delicious-looking pastries. The espresso was not bitter, well-balanced, and at a great temperature. They serve it right with sparkling water on the side. Absolutely perfect! Out of all of the coffee spots in Seattle, Anchorhead Coffee is worth the visit for sure!

HONEY BUNCHES OF COLD BREW! GET THAT!!!…read more that is all i need to say, this coffee was soooo good. maybe because my favorite cereal is honey bunches of oats, but it is literally the coffee version of that cereal. Its nice and sweet, hints of honey, and the coffee flavor is not so strong where the bitterness overpowers the flavor. I wish they had more locations outside of Seattle, this place is truly soooo good. However, the cup is small and its a bit on the pricier side for the size you get, but its a great coffee shop to try when youre in Seattle!

The staff was so sweet, drinks were ready quick, and the overall vibe of the cafe is perfect for relaxing and studying. I also love the selection of Asian goods and local artist-made stickers they have by the register (I got a totoro sticker)! I first tried the turon matcha which I thought was good but had a mild banana flavor. I was expecting more of a caramelized flavor but I still thought it was good. The next day, I ordered the matcha einspanner. Their housemade yoka whip was so yummy and added the perfect amount of sweetness to the matcha latte. Overall, the matcha here is smooth and both drinks weren't too sweet.

I wish I lived in Seattle so that I could come back and try their other tea drinks as they all look delicious and it made me so happy that they have Boba and toppings . The inside is very mid-century modern and beautiful. Lots of spaces to work from and outlets. They also have a little mini market where they sell Matcha among other things. I loved everything about my experience there and would absolutely go back. The employees were also so sweet.

Definitely a busy spot so try to come here on a weekday if you don't like waiting! (Like me..lol) The pork banh-mi is delicious here as well as the Hawaiian roll breakfast sliders. I need to get around to trying the other food options. Not the biggest fan of the spam musubi they have, it always seems over steamed to me, I wish they were made to order like the other food options! Phe is worth the hype, and worth the wait too if you decide to go on a weekend. The space is super cute and it's nice to have a space for young people to gather and hang out.

I ended up trying their honeycomb coffee instead and WOW... so good. Perfectly balanced, slightly sweet, and super smooth. My boyfriend got the black sesame coffee and loved it. I'm personally not a black sesame fan, but if you are, it's definitely worth trying. The second time I came back, I finally got my hands on the earl grey matcha and OMG GET IT. It's so unique and flavorful, and everything just works together perfectly. You really taste the earl grey and the nutty matcha yumm. Only downside? Parking can be a struggle... but I'm not even kidding when I say I will parallel park every single time for that drink. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to.

I found it very delicious and light and refreshing. If you're looking for a Matcha, the Matcha flavor isn't very strong and it mostly tastes like an earl grey latte, but it is delicious and creamy. I ended up coming back and getting it again but with extra Matcha foam for additional Matcha flavor. Absolutely loved this drink. I also got a Matcha latte with black sesame cold foam. I've had a black sesame Matcha from somewhere else before, and the sesame flavor was very light, so that was what I was expecting, but was met with a very strong sesame flavor. I was not a huge fan as it felt overpowering and I couldn't taste the matcha. However, this is just a personal preference thing and if you like black sesame you should definitely try it! I'm not sure what much they used, but it didn't taste like the best quality, but it is still delicious and their drinks are all fun . The inside is small but and warm and cozy and they do have some seating. I was always able to find a spot. Super cute place with very sweet baristas.

What's amazing is theres no acidic taste ruining your beverage , just a smooth euphoric rush of caffeine coursing through your body. I normally get an iced latte to get my geyser gushing but a straight shot does happen occaisionly. Outside of the superior taste the caffeine kick back is like a NASA ROCKET BOOSTER piloting Artemis II... Now the hired hands are fined tuned & trained baristas extracting the brown juices from local roasted beans. BTW VIVACE roasts its own coffee, specializing in a Northern Italian style developed by founder David Schomer since 1992... This is why you'll love its taste... VIVACE's interior space is very large for small & medium size gatherings with a hipster eclectic taste of furnishings. Also beware free WiFi if you're a lounge lizard is available... During good weather days outside seating is available for the rare days the gods allow Seattle sun to shine down upon us. Table & chairs on sidewalk allows you front row seating to the freak show for entertainment. Not much more to say, so grab a shot of caffeine!

Parking on broadway is a bit hit or miss but you can usually find a spot either on the main street or a nearby side street.
