I almost walked past this place but something told me I should go inside and I am so happy I did! The man behind the counter asked what he could get for me and I responded "something to eat that's hot" I think he almost started saying they had no more hot but a woman shoots behind the counter offering to make me a hot sandwich. It was amazing. It felt like a hug to the soul. It was the Deli Deluxe and this $10 sandwich was infinitely better than a clam chowder bowl I spent almost $60 on. Don't skip this place!

I've been occasionally getting lunch at Melange for the last ~15 years (save covid) since I work in…read morethe same building. In that time I have, sadly, seen their quality go down and their prices have skyrocketed. They used to serve a few daily hot dishes that were quite good - Now they do 10+ each day and they aren't nearly as appetizing. I particularly miss the good curry they used to serve. The other issue is cost - I ended up paying ~$22 for Teriyaki and a bottle of soda. I know it is an expensive location and all, but $22!? I can walk a block away and save $4-$5 at a place around the corner. that has better food. The last pet peeve - Tipping. Their default tip screen is 20%/25%/30%. I am more than happy to tip for service, but asking for a 30% tip for an employee that took 30 seconds to dish me up pre-cooked teryaki and rice from steam trays is inexcuseable. I've gotten to the point where the only time I go to Melange is when I only have ten minutes to get food. There are plenty of better-tasting and more affordable options within a few blocks that I generally hit when possible.

I have a soft spot for Alaskan Sourdough Bakery. I found them decades ago after moving to Seattle…read more I love sourdough and finding a place that has been making sourdough since 1897 sounds amazing. I will say the exact quality varies a bit from visit to visit. Sometimes the texture (including outer-shell hardness) is perfect. Sometimes that sour yeast taste is so deliciously pungent. Sometimes, not so perfect. The inside has several tables and a good resting place away from sun or rain. Their décor is that old timey Yukon miner vibe that has not changed for all these decades; after all, it is insider Miner's Landing. Service is friendly, especially when they are not overwhelmed. During the latest visit, we bought: - Jalapeno loaf - So, so, so good. We were going to start with just one slice and bring the rest home. Instead, it was so delicious that we ate half a loaf and made ourselves stop to have some later. Highly recommend this one. - For nostalgic purposes, I bought a small roll, too. Now $3, I think I initially found them at $0.75 (so dating myself). I discourage buying this size the most. They are more difficult to prevent hardening quickly. It is really good with butter though, which they do offer. Thank you for that. - For the sugar fix, I bought a chocolate chip cookie. Now $4. Theirs is a homey goodness, soft enough and toasty enough. This was enjoyable, too. It might be better for those who like a toastier cc cookie (I do).

I settled for just a mini round. I'm thankful I didn't order more because it was the hardest rock of bread I have ever eaten. The flavor was GREAT! Although, I had to suck on the bread a bit to be able to chew it. Even the center was crunchy like it was baked 4 days prior and left out. If it was fresh i'm sure it would have been one of the best sourdough breads I have eaten. The place was kind of dirty. Dirty tables everywhere with jam and things on them. Kind of a disappointment. I'm hoping if I make it back out this way things will have improved to get the experience i was hoping for.

I'm trying to cut weight for a Muay Thai fight so I need a burrito with only eggs and veggies, no cheese and no meat. I state that very clearly when ordering. However last 2 times in a row they take my order and make it with hella cheese in it. Also the person taking the order sounded impatient with tone questioning why I only want eggs and veggies. Well, some of us aren't just letting ourselves go and have goals in life to pursue, and making a burrito with less ingredients is actually easier not harder. Not sure what I can do with them. Gonna have to really make sure they only put eggs and veggies in there, and if they can't do that then just be clear about it.

I've seen markups that approach 300% on basic items, which starts to feel less like convenience and more like price gouging. Many locals avoid this place at all costs and only shop here when it's absolutely necessary. Unfortunately, there aren't many nearby options, so sometimes convenience wins and you end up paying for something you'd normally buy anywhere else for a fraction of the price. I tried reaching out to the owner about the pricing and never received a response. That's disappointing because this could easily be a great neighborhood bodega for the people who live here year-round. Instead, the current pricing makes locals feel like they're being treated the same as cruise-ship tourists just passing through.

I also really enjoyed their house sauce, I feel like most banh mi shops just put mayo on their banh mi but Cafe Artisan's house sauce includes garlic and some other spices that I thought added a lot of flavor to the overall sandwich. My two recent banh mis were in SF (Saigon, L&G) and this is quite a bit better than both of them; I actually enjoyed eating this sandwich beyond its nutritional value. Overall, the banh mi is quite cheap for downtown Seattle food ($12), portions are large (especially the meat), and it's quite tasty - highly recommend! The cafe is pretty quiet and most people seem to do takeout. The staff are super nice and friendly. There are other sandwiches aside from banh mis here, might try them next time (and will update this review if I do). 4.6/5
