We visited this spot today for a late brunch after a long hiatus because I read that it was under new ownership. The food had really gone downhill in recent years, but I'm happy to report that our brunch was very good. It was too late for me to enjoy anything caffeinated, but next time I'll go earlier to sample their interesting coffee menu like cold brew lemonade and fruity latte. I had the crab cake Benedict - flavorful and perfectly soft poached egg. My daughters had the Swedish pancakes and French toast, both two thumbs up. The half order of French toast was enormous. We also had a side of bacon which had both crispier and softer pieces, satisfying the differing preferences around the table. It was definitely more expensive than it used to be, but everything is. That's why it gets 4 stars instead of 5. read more

It was alright! Food came out pretty quick, but wasn't anything too special. The potatoes were nice and crispy which went well with the burrito. Latte was good too! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved that they opened up the garage door like windows so that we could enjoy the beautiful day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff did seem a little lost with the table numbers and what dishes went where- our food was brought to another table before us twice. read more

I'm glad this place didn't go away when it did! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Every neighborhood needs a place like this....cozy, welcoming, great food with big portions.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And pastries!! They have a kids menu, as well as a senior menu, which I love You don't see that whole lot anymore. I got the corn beef hash, and oh my, was the corned beef full of flavor and so tender! My husband got one of the specials, the chilaquiles and he said it was just okay. Service was good; [[HIGHLIGHT]]the place is big with a lot of tables, as well as outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I wish it was a little brighter.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But overall, great experience!! read more

Had a nice breakfast here this morning. My French toast was a bit on the bland side. The pancakes were large, and while one was a bit under-done in the center, the others were great. Coffee was good and refills kept coming. The meals came out quickly and the server was friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice choice of indoor / outdoor seating and the "garage doors" made the open air nice on a warm morning.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were a bit surprised to see the King County Food Safety rating of only "Okay". Hope this place turns that around as breakfast spots are a real treat. read more

My favorite place for going on 10 years. To be honest, the food is just fine...never fancy, never exceptional. But the people there, and the coziness make this my favorite place to go for breakfast or to get cookies and Italian sodas for the kids. read more

The most important meal of the day.. served until 8pm. Despite peak hours, our group of five was lucky enough to snag seats as soon as we arrived. We kicked off the meal with a round of bloody mary's and then dove straight into brekkie. I ordered the crab breakfast which was served with a crab cake, roasted potatoes, pesto scrambled eggs, and sourdough toast. Each bite of this meal just got better and better. I will definitely be adding pesto to my eggs at home! I loved the crab cake and the potatoes were perfectly crispy. The bloody mary had a great mix of spice and was topped with a celery, olive, jalapeno, and a salted and pepper rim. Since I couldn't stop eyeing my neighbors plates, I already know I'll be returning to explore more of their menu. read more

If I were in the neighborhood I'd go again, but wouldn't travel to it or suggest it to friends, so 3stars. This was a cozy corner restaurant with friendly staff, a large menu, and average prices. There is a lot of promise on the menu but one of our dishes just wasn't that good, maybe I found their weak spot. Corned beef hash was great. TONS of meat to it, large filling plate, eggs cooked right to order. It had a specific spice flavoring to it but I can't put my finger on it. The corned beef was moist and fall-apart, in good chunks where I think some had a little fat still running through them which added a lot. The biscuits and gravy was where we both agreed things fell apart. The gravy tasted pretty good, but the amount was small and thin across the plate. This meant when I got it, it was already room temperature. It also means there wasn't nearly enough for the thick dry biscuit. A little ramkin or other container for extra gravy would be a good upgrade to both the quantity and temp issues. The biscuit also had a sweetness to it that I didn't enjoy but to each their own. Those fried potatoes on the side though... crisp outside, flaky steamy inside, and piping hot. Thinking about it again, dump some sausage gravy over those fried potatoes and you're easily up to a four star in my book! read more

We had a party of 4 people it took a long time to get our drinks by the time we got them they were almost all cold/lukewarm the flat white was ok i used to come all the time but within the past few months it has changed a lot and not for the better and almost all of our food was cold by the time we got it my fathers eggs were unseasoned our server was very quiet and timid and we were just hoping for a better experience overall i hope my next time i am here is a much better dining experience than i had today. read more

Got a new job in this area and this seems to be a pretty popular place for breakfast and lunch. Dr took us here for a lunch since the financial person I was replacing is retiring. Service was really quick and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love that their is art on the walls from local artist.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Anyways I ordered a Turkey and cranberry sandwich with fries. It was very yummy! Was not expecting a fresh cran sauce in the sandwich but it was so good. Could use more Brie since I didn't see anything but no complaints. Lunch was delicious and we'll probably be back as it's a few blocks away from us. read more

Incorrect hours posted everywhere online that will rush you through dining after you arrive, plus incredibly rude staff.

As recently as last December, I gave this place five stars, which I had done previously as well. It is with great hesitation and sadness that I now have to reduce my rating to three stars, but its transformation from just a few months ago represents a lesson in what not to do with a funky neighborhood institution brimming with character. We came for lunch today and saw the parking lot empty and almost no one in the restaurant. Now we know why. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The owners "updated" the interior, meaning that they got rid of all the funk and character and replaced the furniture with new, "up to date" restaurant decor that looked totally generic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] To give them credit, they haven't raised the prices or changed the menu - only added a "senior" menu consisting of breakfast items that did not interest us. The vegetarian burgers were as good as always, but the French fries were a colossal disappointment. They must have changed suppliers. One of our primary reasons for regularly patronizing this establishment was that they had some of the best fries in town. Not any more. The former ones were hot and crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside. The new ones had some sort of flavor coating which was not unpleasant, but they were cold. The large pieces were soggy and the small pieces were tough as cardboard. But the worst thing was the service, which was always pleasant and responsive in the past but was absolutely atrocious this time - and we did not notice any of the excellent wait staff from earlier times that we had remembered. After we placed our order, the waitress said she would be right back with our drinks, which she was not. It took an inordinate amount of time for them to get to our table. Each time she came back, our order was incomplete, and we had to remind her three times of what we had ordered before we finally got everything - one item at a time - even though she had entered the items into her device at the time we placed the order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And as I mentioned, the restaurant was practically empty, so it wasn't as if she was overworked.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I couldn't bring myself to leave no tip, but the reduced tip I did leave was vastly more than the waitress deserved. And I requested a printed receipt, but she never brought it to me. We finally gave up and left. On the way out, we noticed that the offerings in the bakery case were a shadow of what they used to be. This was previously one of our favorite eating spots in Northeast Seattle and pretty much our default lunch spot. We do not plan on returning. I can forgive a restaurant for having a bad day, but this did not seem like an isolated incident, so we are sadly writing this place off. read more

Came here for the GF baked goods, ended up getting chicken fried steak (not GF) as well and a pancake lol. The baked goods were all yummy, although they did cause somewhat of an upset stomach. No surprise as it's not a dedicated GF place, so we'll just assume cross contamination which we were aware was a possibility. Two of the three GF baked goods we tried didn't cause any distress, and the one that did wasn't a full-blown case of disturbance. The chicken fried steak was great, although I think the country gravy was a little lacking. The pancake was pretty standard but good. Staff was friendly and helpful. I'd be willing to eat here again, especially with the option of the GF goodies for the wife. read more

Went a second time a few weekends ago. Bf and I thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday breakky. Got there at peak time but were lucky to grab outdoor seating right away. Menu is solid with lots of options. Price is reasonable and portions are hefty. I can see some other places charging at least $5 more for some of the items on their menu for the same amount and quality of food. Their Summer omelette with roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, and goat cheese was so yummy! Light (not greasy) and heavy on flavor. Pancakes were up to standard and chicken fried streak was good too. Bf said it's not his top chicken fried steak place but still, "not bad." Fresh. Squeezed. Grapefruit. Juice. Get it. (Also avail in orange). Love supporting local. Bf and I plan to keep this place in regular rotation for our Sunday dates. read more

+1. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Accommodations. They let us sit anywhere we wanted within the dining room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] +1. Parking. There is nearby parking. +1. Menu & Substitutions. They have a vast array of breakfast and lunch options. Their openness to deductions is great! -1. Quality. Food ingredients were either canned, frozen, or clearly left in the kitchen too long. -1. Service. Food was reported lukewarm, and the staff did nothing to resolve the issue voluntarily. There was a time a visit to Bryant's Corner provided a hot meal, friendly staff, and the reminder to return after a positive experience. Sadly, under new ownership, that is not the case anymore. During what I would presume a typical breakfast hour, I stopped in and ordered two things: a California Omlet and French Toast, along with a side of egg overeasy. Admittedly, I have a history with this restaurant and, given there was only one other customer in the entirety of the restaurant, asked they hold the egg until the French Toast was cooked. Minutes later, more like 15 minutes later, the food showed up. For the record, the over-easy egg was hot, when normally it is lukewarm to cold. California Omlet. Let me first state that there were some ingredients removed. With that stated, I found the remaining ingredients unsatisfactory, namely the fact the green bell peppers were overcooked (judging by the pale green almost pea green color), possibly canned, and there was too much moisture in the omelet, again probably because the ingredients in the egg were probably canned. Then there were the breakfast potatoes, which again gave the appearance and taste that they were probably frozen. Finally, the English Muffin didn't appear toasted. The other dish, French Toast, arrived with four slices but was lukewarm. The included maple syrup was near room temperature to cold, and the butter pat included was no match for the lukewarm French Toast. I asked the server know the French Toast was lukewarm, and they reported that there is no guarantee it will be hot the next time I came in, because they have different cooks throughout the week. Overall, the flavoring on the French toast wasn't bad, but I wonder if they might be using a pre-made French Toast and are simply reheating it. Paying, I noticed there wasn't a conciliatory discount in recognition of the poor quality of breakfast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As I took my leave, with only one customer present, I'm bewildered by the overall experience when it is clear the kitchen wasn't overwhelmed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Departing, I couldn't help but look back where I finally spotted the King County Food Health grade, which didn't reassure me this was a one-off experience. Unfortunately, I feel this will be my last trip to Bryant's Corner. I'm mostly regretting that I came back, given my previous experience under the previous ownership was spectacular. As always, your individual experience will most certainly vary. read more

We had the salmon scramble with potato's and rye bread- very good! Also the turkey club on sourdough with French fries. Club was good thick turkey and nice avocado and bacon, not amazing but good. fries were soft. read more

I was on the hunt for a "go-to" breakfast spot in our new neighborhood. I found it! They have an extensive breakfast menu, 3 pages of choices! AND they serve it all day!! My kinda place! The first time I went I had the CFS (chicken fried steak) it came with eggs, potatoes and toast. The gravy had chunks of sausage, and good flavor! The potatoes were chunks (home fries type). Definitely not my favorite breakfast potato choice (I'm a hash brown fan) but they were cooked well (crispy) and tasted pretty darn good! And the bread was to die for. Homemade and thick! We took our friends here for breakfast this morning bc as well as having amazing breakfast, they also serve mimosas (that is one of their requirements of a breakfast establishment). My husband and I both ordered Biscuits and Gravy with a side of fried chicken (chicken breast tenders) and it came with eggs. We're on to something here. I don't know why this isn't an option anywhere, it is such a good and hearty breakfast. Way better than CFS if you ask me! Next time we will both get the same thing again, but will definitely ask for a side of gravy... because let's be honest, there is no such thing as too much gravy! The Bryant Cafe is fire! It is my neighborhood staple for breakfast! Food is fantastic, and the service is great, even when it's a full house! A++ !! read more

So...we are trying desperately to like this place again. We have been coming for almost 20 years but ever since it reopened...it's gone downhill. Today marks the third time in a month when we arrived at 7:30 AM (the posted opening time) on a weekend and were told either "it's not open yet" (door was shut and even a female wait staff couldn't get in) or "we don't have a cook so you can come in and have coffee but there won't be food for another 40-45 mins". Well if that is the case maybe just open later then?? read more

I love coming to this spot for a light meal of poached eggs on Macrina toast w/ sausage links on the side, and a black coffee. I've been here a few times and enjoyed the service, quality of the food, and price point. Today I decided to branch out from my usual and ordered the Bryant breakfast. It's basically what I already order, with a side of potatoes. While understanding that today is busy and a holiday, the potatoes I received were partially undercooked, and I was unaware that the bread that comes with this meal is not Macrina. It was more like your average diner toast. The service was okay, I could tell there was some stress from the volume of people dining at the moment, however, 2 different people asked me if I was done eating, when I still had 1/2 of the food on my plate. I am not sure if this was because I was 1 person sitting in a booth, but I didn't notice anyone waiting to sit down. More offerings of 2 person tables should be available, rather than every table being 4+ people. This made me feel pressured to eat faster while I was sitting there trying to enjoy my meal and some light reading. I was there for less than 1 hour. I will continue coming here on a regular basis because i love the food, but didn't really like how I was treated this time around. P.S their sausage is my absolute favorite. Hardly greasy and full of flavor. Highly recommend! read more

Oof. Bryant has gone so far downhill that the food isn't worth it anymore. Took 20 minutes after sitting to take our order, then another 30 minutes for coffee, which we had to flag someone down for after reminding our server didn't work. Another 10 minutes later they told us they're out of half our party's order. So we've sat here for an hour to find out we need to wait even longer to eat a split meal. Sadly, this is representative of what it's like to eat here now. read more

They don't know how to cook eggs over easy. Probably the worst corned beef hash I've had. Just taken out of the package, cut in to cubes and tossed with their home fries. lazy approach and under cooked. Coffee refills a second thought. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Went when not busy at all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Don't recommend read more

**this review is on the bakery only*** We come to this area weekly but this is my first time being there and I thought it was ok. They seem to always be busy every time we passed by but maybe that's just for the main food. We got the following things to try: - fritter ---no flavor, and lack the texture of a fritter -Chocolate bar - decent -muffin - decent - chocolate chip cookies - pretty good, I like the texture, it was medium between soft and hard. - gingerbread cookies - this was very very very soft that it broke just touching it. I do like the flavor of this one though. Has almost a sweet and salty flavor. - sugar cookies - this cookie was also pretty good. It has a nice crunch and the flavor is there. Overall, it was fine, not my cup of tea but it was good to try. read more

Perhaps I'm a bit jaded because Sunflour is so close to my house, buuuuttttt I've gone here so many times and it's SO consistent that I think it's just that good. Breakfasts? Super solid, Benedict's are always a sinful draw but the Spanish inspired breakfast dishes always slap! Lunch you ask? Sandwiches are on time, and the fries are good but y'all know the tator tots are really what ya want! Dinner is your thing? Check the specials board as the thoughtful chefs always have something cooking that will sure to be delicious! Just need a cocktail or a beer? Yeah they got that too, cause sometimes you just need a Spicy Bloody Mary to ease into the day, or the afternoon, or the evening? U know! Be nice and eat good food friends! read more

My friends took us here after the Dawg Dash last weekend and I'd love to go back again soon! We had a pretty large group but we were able to sit at an outside table with no wait. I love an all-day breakfast cafe. I ordered the smoked salmon benedict and subbed the english muffin for Macrina sourdough bread. It was so tasty, the eggs were poached perfectly, great hollandaise sauce, and the sourdough bread was the cherry on top. One person in our group got the French toast and it looked so good. I also love that they have choose-your-own hot sauce shelves with hundreds of options! read more

The crab cake Benedict is one of the best breakfast items that I have had in my life. I would go out of my way to have brunch here again. My daughter loved her French toast. The coffee is probably the one weak spot here read more

Last time I visited this site was two decades ago, but only to buy pastries and never dined onsite. I decided to give it a try on a sunny Sunday morning (1/9/22) and I was pleasantly surprised. It was nice to revisit Bryant uphill from my former Ravenna neighborhood. Bonus was a beautiful view of the snow capped Olympic Mountains from the cafe and bakery site. I was able to find adjacent street parking and beat the brunch crowd showing up around 9am. From the get go, C19 vaccination status is checked for dine in. This is not needed for takeout or if dining at any of the exterior perimeter seating. There is a wide variety of indoor seating available, whether a two top for a solo diner like me, booths, or tables for larger groups. Immediately to the right upon entering, the pastry case remains and was mostly full with an assortment of baked goods. What stood out also while seated onsite was the very welcoming, friendly wait staff and was served an expedient, piping hot breakfast. My mocha was spot on and the Joe's Scramble with breakfast potatoes and toast was very generous. The bread was thick cut and you get actual two full slices with two foiled wrapped butter pats, not the thin single portion sliced on the diagonal most places serve. I also enjoyed the raspberry jam available at my table. For me, this entree selection was essentially the equivalent of two meals and the takeout portion remained tasty when reheated. Sometimes one needs to not chase the latest and greatest, but revisit a well established, indie neighborhood joint. I was pleasantly surprised from service to the quality mocha and breakfast entree. Try adding it to your breakfast or brunch rotation. They also serve lunch and dinner too! read more

We visited in a sunny Saturday morning and the place was packed. There is a good flow with indoor and outdoor space here. We indulged in bloody Mary's, because....it was Saturday. I always enjoy starting the weekend off right!! Our group ordered a variety of options. My omelette was fluffy, good portions and very filling. I'd love to come back and try other options. There is a baking counter in the front, with loads of great pastry options. We had a few to-go, very delicious!! read more

We met up here for Sunday brunch with friends. We sat outside, and it was super sunny and nice out! Our friends got their before us and got a table, so we did not wait, not sure if they had to wait, we arrived around 10:30 AM. We ordered: - CA burrito with bacon - crab cake benny - biscuits and gravy - corned beef hash - side of tater tots Our friend Paul mentioned the tots were delish here, so of course we ordered a side of it! They were pretty good. I got the crab cake benny and I thought it was pretty good as well. I was not overly impressed with their breakfast potatoes, the tots were def better IMO. Service was good, waiter split our bill before we even started ordering, which was nice of him! Overall, good brunch experience! read more

Used to love to love this place and gave the new ownership three times before this poor rating. SERVICE has plummeted (e.g. takes a very long time to get your order, drinks forgotten, silver wasn't provided, hard to find server to get bill paid and take out boxes). FOOD on the most part is fine but they make a ton of mistakes in execution (e.g., orders missing, sausage is super dry, food comes at different times across your table, sides are forgotten). MANAGEMENT clearly needs to rethink how the restaurant is run. The place is packed with staff, and working in the restaurant business for 15 years i believe it is over staffed yet the service has materially dropped. Would recommend having fewer but more competent people on the floor. Such a shame we had so many good memories here. We aren't returning and other neighbors have also expressed the same. read more

Wanted to still love this place under new ownership but they really dropped the ball. We were told to sit where ever and a server never came so we asked someone to order after 30 minutes of waiting. 30 minutes after that someone came by saying that they were putting in our order. Another hour went by and we didn't have water yet, no food, and continued to wait. This place really needs to look at their management and figure out staffing, ordering system, and accountability. The food was ok, definitely not worth the 3 hour wait we had.... read more
