Iced coffee and sausage egg and cheese croissant breakfast sandwich's

Good coffee, the food is good, service is pretty quick however the price is insane. My brother and I stopped and got two 16 oz coffees, two croissant breakfast sandwiches, came out to 52 dollars after a 15% tip. Could've went to an actual restaurant and got a full meal for that price. Checked what this would cost at other places and it's almost half the price.

Just moved over to West Seattle and I always love To find new coffee, breakfast spots! I came across The Birdhouse. This a walk-up counter spot. Seating out side but no inside. They are known for their breakfast sandwiches. They have breakfast and regular sandwiches. I got a "build your own" with sausage egg avocado tomatoe on a brioche bun. It was delicious. They also have this fire cracker sauce which I loved. Next time I come I want to try and regular sandwich or the salmon bagel. One of my new fav spots in west Seattle. Come check them Out.

Breakfast sandwich

Was craving a bagel after my long run and so glad I came here! This was SUCH a good bagel. The person who took my order was super nice as well. Will definitely be back here to try their other stuff and a coffee next time

Lil' Verde w/sausage. Sorry I took a bite before taking a pic! :(

I have been wanting to try this place for a while. I got the iced Cardi B (a latte with house-made cardamom brown sugar syrup with espresso and almond milk) and my fiance an iced mocha. The first sip of the Cardi B, my eyes rolled back, and I nodded to how good it was. It's not too sweet (I ordered all of this online on their website for pick up and was not able to ask for it half sweet, but glad they didn't over-sweeten it). The cardamom flavor is prominent, so if you don't like that flavor, I'd choose something else. I also ordered some breakfast items. I got the Lil' Verda, which is a breakfast burrito on a flour tortilla with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, avocado, and salsa verde ( I also added sausage to it). It's pretty tasty! It's a big burrito for being on a medium flour tortilla. I got the fiancé a breakfast sandwich on a brioche bun (you can choose what bread you want; they even have gluten-free) that came with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, and I added bacon for him (adding a meat was only $2, which is reasonable). As I said, I pre-ordered everything on their online ordering system. My order was ready when I got there as promised. The staff member who helped me was super nice and pointed out where the hot sauce (Tapatio) and straws were. They do have separate windows for ordering and pickup. If you order online, just head to the pick-up window. It is a little spendy (breakfast sandwich w/ added meat $10.75, burrito w/ added sausage $12.75, and two espresso drinks at roughly $8 and some change), however, everything is going up in price (Gas is up to $5.09 +), so take that as you will. Overall, it's a cute little spot nestled in a neighborhood. There is street parking, but it's in an area that isn't too hard to find parking, as it is further away from the very busy spots of West Seattle. I'd come back, perhaps take the fiancée there so we can enjoy it fresh.

I was actually really excited to try this place, especially their breakfast egg sandwich with "the works" but was really upset to see that the only part they added was the sauce. It was fine, but i'm definitely not just an egg and meat sandwich kind of person and really would've liked to try it the way I ordered. We had to get to the ferry so I didn't think to check my sandwich since the bag was specially labeled.

Breakfast sandwich with bacon avocado and mayonnaise

The food was okay could have had more flavor, I'm not sure it is something I'd go get again but it was fun trying, for 15$ you can get a breakfast sandwich which is a bit steep but it is a decent sized sandwich. The smoothie was great I wish I had more honestly. The Berry cookie I had was amazing I will say. The staff seemed really sweet and was pretty quick with getting my order. The vibe there was chill it is a little walk up window and not much outside seating but it was still cute.

Ye ol neighborhood stop. Service? Excellent Ambiance? Superior (walk up window) Food? Great. I had a veggie sando and it was delish aside from one very specific seasoning that Ive had before but don't know what it is and do not like. (Not their fault.)

Service is always nice here. Great loading area for the order and pick up. There are a lot of outdoor bistro seating as well if you just wanted to grab the bite there. And they keep a bowl of water out for the dogs

Everything bagel sandwich with bacon and mayo! Delicious!
Alison B.

The people that work here are so nice!!! Bagel breakfast sandwich was amazing and it's a cute little walk up restaurant! Loved it. Will definitely be back!

Sausage egg and cheese sandwich
Joey K.

16oz latte and a sausage egg and cheese sandwich for $20. Latte was good, not special in and sandwich was not good at all. Service was good. Im sure the other food is good but value isn't there for me. Approx $8 latte and $12 sandwich.

Loved this place that was 5 min drive from our bnb, my boyfriend liked it so much we went back 2 days in a row. He got their strawberry lemonade and breakfast sandwich on a croissant. I got a honey lavender latter which was pretty good, the smoked salmon bagel that came with dill creme cheese, cucumbers and pickled red onions which was pretty good. The second time, I had got the Henderson hash which was so good and bigger portion than I expected. I wish it had a little more dressing but it was pretty good after I had added hot sauce, salt and pepper

A delightful spot to stumble upon while visiting Seattle. Even with a line forming, the staff kept things moving quickly and efficiently, making the wait short and pleasant. There's charming outdoor seating right out front--perfect for enjoying a coffee while people-watching or soaking up some fresh air. I tried the seasonal vanilla bean foam cold brew, and it was excellent: smooth, well-balanced, and not overly sweet. Definitely worth a stop for both the coffee and the friendly atmosphere.

This might be the best coffee shop I've ever been to…read more Or maybe just one of the kindest human baristas. Coffee is great! We will be back. But what impressed me more than anything was an act of kindness from the barista. An unhoused person waited in line behind us. I didn't notice until we were finished ordering... Then this person proceeded to wait until they were done making our drinks. They asked for a hot drink please. The barista treated them just like any other costumer. Made the drink. Gave it to him and then proceeded to ask him if he'd like a day old pastry? He said yes! The barista grabbed the pastry and he was on his way. I was a little shook. Being from LA I don't see the unhoused community treated this way. Showing them basic decency offering them something warm to drink and a pastry. This town runs a little differently and it warmed my sometimes jaded heart. I stayed and chatted with the barista and thanked them for their humanity. They explained they have a community card where the community shared the expense. I'm floored. I hope this spreads and I'm gonna do my best to do the same. Another person just came in. Same treatment. I'll be back. Thank you to this business for leading by example.

With weather often cloudy throughout the year, there's little more comforting than a miel (espresso…read morewith honey and often cinnamon). And Moonshot Coffee makes a noteworthy one. Staying at a near apartment while in town from Washington, D.C., Moonshot was a worthy coffee stop. It's along a strip of many colorful murals and popular restaurants and bars. The staff are friendly and the entire space inclusive. There are two tables that seat two each with outlets nearby. (There's strong wi-fi.) The window bar table sits four on high stools. If you need a warm place, pop into Moonshot Coffee.

I had a smashwich which is a smashed sausage patty, crispy hash brown, sunny side up fried egg, American cheese & spicy mayo on a SODO roll. Friend loved it. I did to but probably would prefer a different bread. But i'm kinda bread-fussy these days. My Americano was perfect having an additional shot added to the 16 oz. It's counter service here and everyone we interacted with was lovely. So busy and popular on a work day! Good to see.

In the back there is a huge mural of Dolly Parton, Anthony Bourdain, and a tiny Bob Ross in the style of American Gothic. The walls are covered with trinkets from the 80s and 90s like Homies and California Raisin figurines and KISS Pez dispensers. The food: Smashwich - A really good breakfast sandwich. The hash browns give it some added crunch that is surprising but welcome. Chicken in a Biscuit - The biscuit and chicken taste great. It's a bit hard to eat because of how large of a bite it is and how firm the components are. Vanilla Cream Shokupan Doughnut - The donut portion is tasty and there is a ton of whipped cream on this. The cream is quite heavy though and leaves a fatty mouthfeel. Wish this was a lighter cream that's fresh filled into the pastry, but that's another prep step before serving. Overall, really fun place in terms of the decor, music and interesting twists on food. Oodles of nostalgia is always a positive in my book. My family scores: Brendan - 4.5 Charlotte - 3.8 Shanying - 4.0 Winston - 4.5
