    Lunch, the clam chowder was reheating, and some snacks.
    Bill A.

    Picked up lunch for two, and a couple of sweet treats. For lunch two of us split the sausage and omelette sandwich, and the clam chowder. All of it was very good. I have never been in to try out the board game selection, but that's about to change.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]A fun place to get grab some food (sandwiches, tamales, pastries, etc.) and play some board games.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The barista was super friendly, and made me a pumpkin spice chai with homemade pumpkin syrup (I can definitely taste the pumpkin, bur I didn't love it!) And their pastries is from Macrina. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was told this place gets super busy after school is out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    As per usual I was seeking a place near my last client to complete my charting and grab a beverage. I located this cafe and had no idea what I was in for. I'd never heard of a game cafe. I hesitated for a moment, but am so glad to have entered. This cafe was amazing! The person at the counter made a great drink and recommended a good bite to eat. They were personable and everyone seemed to enjoy spending time going up to them and chatting them up. People were at tables playing D&D type games, there was a group in a private room. There was a group of high school kids, and adult group too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Noise level was surprisingly reasonable and I got lots of work done.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wish I had had the time to look around at the games they were selling because there were tons of new and used games for sale.

    Looks like a great place to socialize and play all variety of games. We stopped by for coffee and a sandwich. We didn't expect the $9 Cuban sandwich to be small, prepackaged and microwaved. Possibly everything is prepackaged. Friendly service but wouldn't plan to have food here again. Gave it 4* because it's good to support small businesses.

    Luke warm coffee, stale pastries and rude girl with blonde hair behind counter. She should not be working in customer service.

    Easy street records and cafe is one of the last standing record shops selling vinyl records and…read moreCDs. This is a very popular breakfast place in West Seattle. Now, Easy Street Records and cafe still has the old style charm of open booth seating with every bit of sitting space used. There's always music playing and the staff has the quirkiness you would expect as they're to hold on to an old record shop that remains a popular place in the area. I am typically on the go in the morning, so I call ahead to get the Dolly Parton. The cafe is always accurate about the prep time of the food and the wait is minimal for pickup. The staff greets you with a smile that is believable and works to keep the tradition of the place going. The Dolly Parton is two pancakes, 2 pieces of bacon, and eggs any style. The pancakes are fully, but slightly spongy. The works with the syrup. I always get the scrambles eggs and typically don't get the bacon. The eggs could be cooked with a twist of salt and pepper. I hope Easy Street Records and cafe remain in West Seattle as part of the history and tradition of an old style cafe the rocks with music.

It's an unassuming place, until you buy some of their records, see some live performances, or grab some tasty diner food. You can "sink" into the atmosphere of this place easily. When family comes to visit, we could spend two hours talking here unbothered. People here wear what they like and act how they like proudly, like an accountant with a face tat. If you live in Seattle and that shocks you, let me remind you I am a Goblin. It feels like what White Center still is, in many ways. Punk, dive-y, affordable, cool. You can eat a hearty breakfast under $50 for two people, which I would say is working class for most Goblins. Any mistake made, they tend to be extremely willing to make it right. There is always music playing and it can get busy, so don't expect silence. I took away one star because no place is perfect for a Goblin.

    We stopped by Panterelli after the West Seattle Sunday Farmers Market, wandering in after hearing…read moreabout the best Choux pastries in Seattle. There weren't any other customers inside and we were greeted with an empty display case in the front. While barren, the owner, a gruff* French gentlemen, confirmed that he still had choux pastry left with a choice of either vanilla, coconut, pistachio, or hazelnut. We decided to go with the pistachio, which he assembled fresh for us, first by piping pistachio cream inside the choux shell, then dipping in melted chocolate and sprinkling pistachio on top. Pistachio Choux ($6) - The choux is excellent, baked until deliciously crisp on the exterior while the inside remains soft, eggy, and tender. Since it's fresh filled and we ate it right afterwards, the cream never migrated to saturate the crust - I suspect people with issues with mushiness probably let the cream puff sit too long before consuming. The cream, which is piped to the brim, pushes out against the delicate shell, causing each bite to almost squirt out a bit of the luscious, silky whipped custard. The cream coats the lips and mouth with a layer of fat. It's not too sweet and has a light nutty pistachio flavor. The melted chocolate the top is dipped into glues on all of the pistachio dip. The chocolate is slightly bitter, yet sweet, so it helps cut through some of the rich silkiness of the cream. The pistachios on top act like a crumble, perhaps pulverized and melded with butter to create a very rich yet pistachio forward mix. It's strongly flavored, and the chocolate creates such a strong cement that none of the nuts detach while eating. (5/5) Panterelli was a huge surprise as it wasn't even on our radar until we walked past the shop randomly while exploring the Farmers Market. It's a definite revisit in the future! *The owner isn't nearly as welcoming as a typical American small business owner, but is certainly friendly and eager to chat. I also love his attitude - looks aren't that important; it's the taste the reigns supreme!

Their key lime pie was absolutely mouth watering. It was full of flavors and still light and creamy. That's my favorite. We also got their strawberry and coconut cheesecake and the blueberry pie. My friends like what they got too. The two gentlemen behind the counter were so patient with our group. Thank you for waiting for us to make up our minds.

The rhubarb was a bit tart for me though, so I probably won't get it again if I ever go back. Key Lime was average. Their chicken pot pie was good. Unfortunately, the service was a bit odd, which seems to be a recurring theme in other reviews. While checking out, I asked why there was an extra $2 charge on the chicken pot pie. The cashier told me it was because the strawberry rhubarb pie had been warmed in their oven and that baked pies incur an additional $2 charge. The explanation didn't make much sense, but it was my first visit, so I assumed there was some policy I didn't understand. When I got home and looked at the menu, I realized the $2 charge had actually been applied to the chicken pot pie. From what I can tell, they charge an extra fee if they bake one of the refrigerated pot pies for you. Mine was frozen, came with at-home baking instructions, and was never baked in-store. I sent an email to the address listed on the receipt to let them know they might be charging customers incorrectly, but never received a response. The food was good, but the whole situation was strange.
