I was organizing a brunch for my book club and having the WORST time finding a place north of Seattle that would accommodate the diverse dietary needs of our group (some are gluten-free and one who is vegan). The Cottage was the PERFECT place with the perfect menu to satisfy everyone without compromise. The servers were very professional and friendly, going out of their way to take photos of us. The patio was so cute and cozy. The food, the mimosas, and hand crafted espresso beverages were all divine! I wish I took more photos, but we were too busy living our best lives and being in the moment. The reason why I didn't leave 5 stars was because 2 of us asked for bacon extra crispy, and neither order of bacon was particularly crisp. And I also didn't love their voicemail message informing that they don't answer their phone or listen to voicemail. They are only reachable by email and the email wasn't particularly easy to find on the website. That's the only criticism I could give. We had an amazing experience and can't wait to go back. read more

First outing here at The Cottage. Came here for Brunch with the Family today. Nice, cozy spot for a Sunday Afternoon Brunch. The Ambiance was a little loud, but it was expected since it was relatively packed and it is a Sunday. Service was wonderful and relatively swift for a busy day. Coffee was fast and meals quickly followed up. Pacific Lox & Bagel were delicious and very filling. And the Pacific Smoked Salmon Dip was a delicious follow-up after the main course. And the Mocha was solid. Can't wait to come back for future outings, but may want to do so on a day that is less busy. read more

Good service. Came on a Saturday with no reservations and they were accommodating which was amazing. Everything was great except the food was meh. Eggs Benedict was incredibly sub par. Hard English muffin, lazy piece of ham on there and the lemon over powered the hollandaise sauce making it tart. Potatoes reminded me of something at a continental breakfast. read more

A cute place for brunch and they have pretty much a full bar here with tons of different alcohol selections. But I ordered an Americano since it was just something I needed at that moment. This place was so busy for lunch but that does tell you one thing, this place is going to be good! Ordered a Caesar salad, short rib hash, and a bowl of soup. Not one item was not delicious and the service here was great! I got asked many times if I needed anything else and they filled my water cup often. The soup I don't know what the ingredients were inside but I seriously thought about the taste and how great it was with the side of bread. Short rib hash was tasty and I love how the hasbrown was crispy and just so good! Yum! read more

We had horrible service! It took a little bit for our server to come to our table, but when he did, we ordered our drinks. We weren't quite ready to order our food and then he wouldn't come back. He literally kept going to the table next to us and then back to the bar and then back to the table. At one point, he stood in the middle of the restaurant and looked at all of his tables, almost as if he was checking off a list, but still didn't come to our table to take our food order for at least 20 minutes. I would have left if it was just me, but I was with my husband and another friend and we had already waited 40 minutes for a table. That was probably our first mistake. It was absolutely not worth the wait. The restaurant is also very loud. The music could've been turned down a couple notches and it still would've been plenty loud for people to enjoy. read more

Your experience at The Cottage will highly depend on the time you visit. I went for weekend brunch with my boyfriend and thought it was great! The food was good, the coffee was good, and the service was excellent. However, dinner was a different story. I came here on a Friday night to catch up with some girlfriends, and the restaurant was LOUD. We could not hear each other at all, even though we were in a relatively "quiet" corner. There was a live artist playing music and talking ACROSS the restaurant to other diners, which I found odd. Personally, I would not want to be disturbed by someone with a mic while trying to enjoy a meal with friends. read more

Such a cute spot for brunch! Came here with a group of friends after a hike and since we had 2 pups with us, we needed to find a spot that was dog friendly with an outdoor patio. Love the Cottage outdoor patio area! It's covered, heated, and doggo friendly! They event brought over a water bowl which was so nice! Service was friendly and we were seated promptly. Although food did take awhile, because I think our order was lost but they were really nice and so it wasn't too big of a deal. + Chai tea - tasty and comforting in the cold weather + house sausage is soo yummy! Ordered a side with my entree and it was so worth! + croissant french toast with berries - my husband loved this so much! + eggs in yogurt sauce with bread - nicely flavored and is pretty good! Overall, we had a great time here and would come back again for their brunch! Food was solid! read more

Tip : Make reservations (Note: there is $15 no show fee while reserving) If not, you may have to wait. Ambience 2/5 - A laid-back brunch spot. We had our table by the front door. The floor was strangely vibrating or trembling every thirty minutes. Food (4/5) Coffee (3/5) - Latte was okay. Probably ought to have requested extra hot. Turkish Eggs (4/5) - Flavorful and fresh. Simple savory breakfast with perfectly poached eggs, served over a delicious garlicky yogurt, and finished with a warm spicy butter or olive oil sauce with red pepper flakes. Lemon cheesecake (2/5) - There was very little lemon flavor and an overwhelming amount of cheery syrup. What a paradox Service (3/4) - Our waiter was incredibly friendly. also made frequent check-ins. However, when we asked for salt and pepper, one of the servers acted very rudely and with attitude. read more

Jack, our server, was the best! And the food was delicious. We ordered the brussel sprouts, the macrina bread, and the home fries. Filling and affordable! Outdoor seating was comfortable, and the staff could not have been more accommodating. read more

We would like to thank Madison for the thoughtful hand written card that included a $20 gift card, Thank You. We visited on Sunday and arrived when they opened. We were promptly greeted and we chose to sit at the bar near the fireplace. Speaking of the fireplace, the ambiance on that end is so warm and inviting, it makes you feel as if you're sitting down to breakfast in a friend's home. We ordered the eggs Benedict and croissants breakfast sandwich, and both were delicious. As a matter of fact, the hollandaise is one of the best I've ever had. Miss Phoung was our server, and she was amazing. So glad we decided to give them a second try, it was definitely worth it! read more

We were so excited to have brunch based on the photos and menu. Everything we order was just sub-par from start to finish but will just highlight the food 1) Turkish eggs- cold, flavorless and bread was at least a day old 2) Quiche- bland we added a ton of salt and pepper the potatoes definitely were pre-cooked and hard stale 3) Bisquits and gravy- biscuits were delicious, gravy was bland and needed a ton of salt & pepper Orange juice was supposedly fresh squeezed tasted like it was from Costco. Overall a huge let down for almost $100 brunch read more

I've been going to The Cottage in Bothell regularly with a friend since 2022. Over time, we couldn't help but notice that younger guests like us consistently received less attentive service than older patrons. We put up with it because the food was usually solid, but after our most recent visit, we will not be going back. We went for brunch to celebrate finishing my first quarter of grad school, and the experience was unacceptable. I was first served apple cider with soap bubbles floating in it. That should've been a red flag, but I brushed it off. Then my turkey Havarti sandwich came out dripping with grease (not a exaggeration litterally dripping), and the tomato bisque was so salty and sour it was inedible, before I had even told my friend my opinion on the soup, when she tried her face scrunched up from the taste. It was impossible to eat a full spoonful without making a face. What made this worse was the service. Our server checked on us once, less than a minute after dropping off the food (before I'd even tasted the soup), and then avoided us for the next 30 minutes. When I finally flagged her down to pay I brought up the soup, her response was, "Well, someone else ate it an hour ago and didn't complain." She offered to replace it, but I declined because I didn't want it to seem like I was fishing for free food. When she came back with the check she again, she brushed it off and handed me a $6 gift card saying, "The chef said maybe it was a little salty, that's it. Next time you should tell me so I can replace it." Meanwhile, we hadn't been checked on, and it honestly felt like she was deliberately avoiding eye contact so I couldn't flag her down I've given The Cottage plenty of chances, but between being treated like an afterthought as younger customers and being served food that shouldn't leave the kitchen, I can't recommend it anymore. read more

I ordered the eggs Benedict, which was decent, but the real standout was the potatoes, perfectly crisp and flavorful. We sat outside, which was lovely, but they originally seated our group of three adults at a tiny table that barely fit two. There was no room for our food, and we had to ask to be moved just to have space for our beverages. Service was fine, but nothing memorable. The overall vibe felt a little underwhelming. It's a nice spot if you're already in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to return. read more

The Cottage - Hash - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Bothell, Washington

I have come to the conclusion that I will not be going back to this establishment. First of all their menus are only scannable. The last thing I want to do when I go out to a nice breakfast or brunch or lunch or dinner is immediately have to get on my phone when I sit down wanting to visit with friends or family. Next I really find it distasteful that they do not offer drip coffee. Sure, they have a full espresso bar, but if I want to sit leisurely for a little bit and enjoy coffee with friends that a latte doesn't last. I like refillable coffee at breakfast or brunch. This is a money grab and a way to get people to move out of the restaurant quicker and to be able to turn their tables more frequently. Most of their food I have generally liked, but on a recent trip I was very unimpressed with their quiche as well as their dried out hash-browns. The chairs the have inside are also incredibly uncomfortable. Another way for them to push people out quicker as no one wants to sit in them for long. This place has sadly become a hard pass for me. read more

Warm cosy ambiance inside. I've dined outdoor patio, indoor and at the bar. Service is great and oh my the food arrives quickly. A big plus for me as I seem to be starving all the time. lol. The last time I stopped by, I had the short rib hash and now I am hooked. The presentation is beautiful and appetizing. I wish the eggs were a little more over easy to complete the meat and crispy potatoes. But all in all it's still pretty good. Another good dish is the croissant French toast. I keep hoping that they will offer regular French toast because I love their recipe. Maybe one day they will switch it up. You should also check out their happy hour. Sip your vino with some cheeses on the patio on a nice sunny day in summer or sit by the cosy fireplace indoors. I think there's something for everyone. Oh did I mention that they are dog friendly! Yay. read more

I've been there twice: the first time on a weekday- there was no band, we got the table by the fireplace with the comfy chairs. The food was delicious, the service was amazing. I did not want to leave. The second time was on a Saturday night, and the band was sooo loud that we asked for a table outside (in February). The food was still great. With lower volume this place is amazing! read more

My friends are I have been OBSESSED with this new cafe restaurant located less than 5 mins from UWB campus. Everything on their menu is sooo good and their coffee is amazing as well. I love their breakfast menu especially the eggs Benedict and the croissant French toast. Their dinner menu is great as well. I love the vibe inside, it's very modern and warm. I would go there every week if I could and I'm so happy I have discovered my new cafe spot to hang out and get some work done. The food is a little bit on the pricier side but I'd say its so worth it. read more

The ambience is nice, but the food isn't that great maybe I've been there three times for brunch. I ordered the eggs Benedict. The bread was hard and the potatoes were cold, but they do have good service on the weight. Staff is always nice but they could improve on the food I think. read more

I read the reviews and mildly agree: service could be a touch faster, and who would mind if the wait were shorter? (It was 15 minutes for my 4-person crew at 1p on Christmas Eve). But based on my family's experience at The Cottage, let me hypothesize that if you actually notice these things, you're just not having enough fun. We ate ALL of our food, across four entrees. That's saying a lot! My dish, the croissant French toast, was crispy, sweet, soft inside, and superbly textured. The tart berries helped add balance, the syrup sweet but not cloying. (I'm totally stealing the idea to use a croissant as the bread.) My mom had the breakfast croissant sandwich, which featured local Beecher's cheese; my brother had a short rib hash, which was gorgeously colorful; and my aunt had a vegan tofu scramble, which she finished without noticing there were no eggs! With an expansive menu that includes mixed drinks and cocktails, there are plenty of reasons to come and come back. read more

Overall, I was disappointed with the quality of the food. The goat cheese brûlée was my favorite dish of the evening; however, since goat cheese is dense, the flimsy crackers could be replaced with a more durable option. Additionally, we ordered it with prosciutto, which was forgotten. Instead, we received a few pieces of rolled prosciutto on the side, but this didn't make sense, especially since the crackers couldn't support it. The salmon was dry and overcooked, and its side of broccoli was undercooked and under seasoned. The wedge salad with prawns was mediocre. The salad included blue cheese, bacon, tomatoes, egg, onions, and guacamole--it felt more like a Cobb salad hybrid and was neither cohesive nor enjoyable. The prawns tasted like underseasoned frozen shrimp. I ordered a pisco sour, which the menu states comes with egg white, but it was made without it, and I had to request the egg white separately. It was my partner's birthday, and we felt disheartened to spend a lot of money on food that claims to be farm-to-table yet is served at such a mediocre level. Her birthday was not acknowledged, despite it being noted in the reservation. We did not feel welcomed and won't be returning. read more

Friendly service from each worker that we interacted with. We came on a Saturday morning with no reservation, since we wanted to take our chances of getting an indoor seat as opposed to the outdoor patio. The patio is not closed off (tent situation so covered at least) so it'll still be chilly, though they do have heat lamps. The expected wait time was 30 minutes but we probably got seated less than 10 min after. The vibes are nice and cozy inside for the holidays! The food is essentially what you can find at a classic American diner but elevated. I think the quality matches the price. I got the biscuits and gravy and thought the gravy was different from other sausage gravy I've had, but it was good - not too salty. The biscuits were soft as well and did a good job of not soaking up too much gravy. The eggs on the other hand were cooked well but unfortunately had too much salt. I thought this might've been an isolated experience but my friends had the same complaint about their dishes. If the dishes had been less salty, they would've gotten two thumbs up from me. read more

What a cute place! The outdoor tent is very cozy and clean, and dog friendly. We took our small dog with us and we saw about 5 other dogs there. They were all well behaved. The servers very friendly and accommodating too. We ordered French toast and BLT sandwiches. The French toast was actually made from croissant. It was delicious and different. The BLT was only mediocre. The bacon was too fatty and the fries had a lack of taste. The aioli dip made it better. We found the price a bit steep for the food. But we loved the ambiance and atmosphere. read more

If you are looking for a cute place to hang out in and don't care about the food, this is the spot. If you're a foodie like me, don't come here. I want to love this place but the food is so underwhelming and prices are high. I have fully given this restaurant multiple tries and at different times of day. Dinner was as disappointing as brunch. Everything is just meh, bland and boring. Presentation is great but the taste just doesn't match. And it's not bad at all, but just does not meet the expectations since the presentation, ambiance and service are all great. Hire new chefs?? Giving 4 stars for everything else. But definitely a 3.5 if I could do that. read more

We visited for Sunday Brunch and had a reservation. I recommend doing so because there was a line outside the door before opening and the restaurant was filled within about 15mins. I got the eggs benedict and he got the quiche. The benedict was perfectly done. The eggs were runny and the hollandaise was bright and flavorful. We also enjoyed some beverages. I got the London Fog and he got the chai. The London Fog was excruciatingly HOT. I know hot water obviously needs to be used to brew the tea but the drink was undrinkable for a good 20mins before it finally started to cool down. The service was incredible! Very attentive servers and the ambiance inside was cozy. read more

I've been to the cottage for dinner before, but this was my first brunch! I was kind of surprised that a place serving brunch doesn't have a drip coffee? So we went with the vanilla latte and a pumpkin spice latte (tis the season!). Both were good! Food came out insanely fast after ordering, I think we maybe waited 5 minutes? Which was great. I had the vegan scramble, and I wish I would have asked for extra mushroom gravy because it was excellent. I could've done without the toast, since there wasn't much gravy it was kind of hard and meh. The croissant French toast was good! It was pretty loud inside, so next time I think we'd sit outside. read more

Went here for breakfast/brunch with the family and was happy we were seated much quicker than we anticipated. The food we ordered ranged from, wouldn't order again, to good. Although the lox and short rib hash were good, I don't think I'd go back. The service felt a little snooty from the waitress and fake nice from the host. I'd much rather go to Jo Schmo's diner and deal with gruff servers. The place was busy and I see a lot of good reviews but it wasn't my bag. Nothing was so good that made the mediocre service worth it for me. I've had better service from the donut shop on the other end of the building. ;) read more

I've been here a couple of times and I would say the vibe of this place is really cute. It's bright and definitely has a farmhouse/cottage vibe. The only thing missing is mare the real early hours for that morning cottage rise vibe. In terms of food, I thought it was a little over salted but overall pretty good. I think for the price and what you get it's a little expensive. I wouldn't say anything wowed me though. The servers were kind and attentive and I appreciated that they were swift to check on us when we needed something. read more

I have both eaten here and had take-out and the food and service are outstanding! The restaurant is beautiful and really cozy...a great experience!

Several months ago we took a trip to Seattle Washington and decided to stay in a city called Bothell, Wa which is about 35 minutes outside Seattle. Didn't know anything about the city however we were hungry and decided to ask the front desk at the hotel for recommendations to eat. We ended up at a mom and pop restaurant called the Cottage. We ended up waiting 35 minutes to get a table. The place is small but quaint yet very busy especially during lunch. I decided to ask what the restaurant is known for the waitress recommended French toast and shrimp and grits. The food came out supper fast while being cooked to order. I have never in my life tasted French toast like this and immediately fell in love with it. The shrimp and grits were also to die for. This was one of the best surprise restaurants you ever want to run into. Forgot to mention the hot chocolate was absolutely out of this world. If you are in the Seattle area it's well worth it to locate this restaurant as you will not be disappointed. read more
