March 2026 Wild Mountain has a Seattle charm inside a bungalow reminiscent of a Chicago house. Waiting time was very reasonable on a weekend. I had the Classic Bennie. Served with their excellent signature garlic mashed potatoes. Served with a cup of fresh fruit which was a refreshing balance of cold / sweet against the seasoned eggs benedict. If you are here try their signature homemade Jam with toast or English muffin. read more

I came by here early on the weekend to pick up a cinnamon roll to go. When I got in, they were already packaging up the cinnamon rolls in to go boxes and bags, so I think a lot of people must just come for that. The roll is huge--the picture doesn't do it justice. Definitely big enough to share! The roll was pretty good. They do charge .25 for the takeout box, and another .25 for a takeout bag. I didn't ask for a bag, and would've skipped getting one had I known there would be a fee. So bring your own bag, or just make it clear that you don't need one. read more

Tucked inside a cozy converted house in Crown Hill, Wild Mountain Café feels like brunch at your grandmothers house. With limited seating and a warm, lived-in vibe, this spot turns comfort food into a full-on experience. The iced latte went down smoothly and too fast. It was their daily special for five dollars with iced coffee, amaretto & Irish cream. Then came the parade of plates: eggs Benedict in two style, classic with bacon, avocado and tomato, and a smoky salmon lox. Both were blanketed in silky hollandaise and paired with crispy potato cakes that could hold their own in a snack showdown. Scrambled eggs with spinach and mushrooms brought a healthy balance, gluten and dairy free, while the fruit bowls added a splash of color and freshness. The burrito was smothered in enchilada sauce, flanked by refried beans, salsa, and sour cream. It was bold, messy, and completely worth it. The cinnamon rolls. Massive, gooey, and crowned with cream cheese frosting, displayed right when you walk in. If you go early you can get some good deals on drinks and go hungry, and don't skip the cinnamon roll. Also I saw a near by table order the breakfast casserole and the Mac and cheese. it was huge and creamy. I wanted to order the Mac and cheese but didn't want to roll out of there with all those carbs but I was a little jealous. The service was amazing too! read more

Perfect brunch spot, i took my parents after I moved to the neighborhood and it feels you're at someone's home. The food is solid brunch foods and drip coffee and the service is great. I've been multiple times, just a reliable and tasty spot. read more

Eggs Benedict with Lox remains my favorite but there's hardly an egg dish there that I have not found delicious and worth eating. Service is attentive and coffee refilled in timely manner and the warmed cinnamon bun might be to die for. Cost home interior with tables and chairs that feel like a comfortable dining room. But be prepared for the wait on weekends. read more

Coming from the Eastside looking for great breakfast haunts across the bridge. Picked Wild Mountain from some recommendations from a Seattle foodie group. I'd give the ambiance an A, and the food a solid B/B+. Cute venue in an older style home, with some obvious pride in their offerings. I don't think there is anything unique about their menu, but a great variety of standards, and what they do, they do very well. Their cinnamon rolls are phenomenal! Hot, with a well balanced icing and a good fresh yeast and spice. 10/10. The eggs Benedict, I would say, was very consistent. Perfectly poached eggs and scratch-made Hollandaise. But thin Canadian bacon, on a Bays muffin, and the Hollandaise had no lemon (personal preference). Fruit cup was great, but the potato cake was not at all creamy and was loaded with garlic. I would go again if I was in the area, but wouldn't cross the bridge for it. Like I say - a very solid breakfast joint. Service was exceptional, and very attentive. read more

Really lovely servers! They also are responsive to messages and responded right away to let me know that dogs are allowed in the patio. We sat there at their little table, and it was partially shaded and fully covered. They have a cute little dog bowl as well. The food was good and they have a decent sized breakfast menu. Plenty of vegetarian options and a handful of vegan and GF options. read more

Modest 20 min wait late on a weekend. Quaint little spot in an unassuming neighborhood or good. Plenty of street parking. Calibrate for the suburbs - there are a lot of families w/ kids We got: Breakfast burrito - 8/10 Salmon and capers scramble - salty -7/10 Potato cakes not as special as all of. the reviews made it sound. Honestly there is nothing wrong with the place but I didnt find it special. read more

I've never eaten in person and only ordered via DoorDash. Their hash is generous and it feels like I'm at a local farmers market. Their potato cakes are delicious and I often order extra to go with my eggs Benedict. The customer service over the phone is always outstanding and I appreciate the care with each order. It is rare that food that is delivered tastes equally as good as in person. One I'm y favorite go to's. read more

Wild Mountain Cafe is a warm cozy hug on a dreary Seattle morning. It's the kind of place I miss from "old Seattle." It's a little quirky and off beat and not trying to be chic or insta-perfect. It gets busy on the weekends. Somehow the line both moves pretty quickly and you never feel rushed. They keep your coffee cup warm with fresh coffee until you are a jittery mess. The portions are big. The food is both fresh and comforting. Lots of veggie options but I hear meat eaters are also happy here. read more

Heavy, stick to your bones brunch fare in a Homey, family oriented interior. Gluten-Free eggs benedict ($17.25) - I got these because they were served on the garlic potato cakes - omg, these are like crack. If they don't come with your entree, get one on the side. Eggs perfectly poached with a rich, buttery hollandaise. I don't like Canadian Bacon so that was okay. The homemade cinnamon roll was phenomenal ($6.75). Get it. Warm, fluffy dough with delicious cinammon flavor and gooey cream cheese icing. BF got the La Cabana ($16.75), I tried a bite and it was okay. Warm, inviting staff. If you come for brunch on a weekend you will likely have to wait. read more

This cute brunch spot is all about the comfy cozy vibes. It's a historic mountain house-turned-cafe, so dining here was a super unique experience. My friend and I dropped by during the long weekend so there was a decent wait (~30 min). We ordered the Veggie Bennie and the Pimento grilled cheese (from the seasonal specials menu). The grilled cheese was great, but the Eggs Benedict wasn't particularly memorable and was a little bland for my liking. The garlic mashed potato cake that it comes with, however, was flavorful and creamy! read more

This was our 1st order (delivery), breakfast. We're only a few blocks away and the food arrived tepid, not even warm. The price was high, imo. The breakfast potatoes seemed like they were leftover mashed potatoes formed into a patty and fried. Not good. I asked for hard eggs, they were medium at best. Why even give me the choice on how they are cooked? The hollandaise sauce was not like any I've ever had and didn't taste good. The fruit was not overly fresh. We won't order from them again. Edited to add: we both now have upset stomachs. read more

My friends took me here while I was visiting Seattle and I enjoyed it quite a bit. They were busy but we got a table immediately, and the wait wasn't long at all. Our server was super friendly and personable and always made sure our waters were topped off. The food was fantastic! I got the Cure All Mac and Chz with bacon and mushrooms and it was so so good. It was also a huge portion so I had lunch for the next day, which was great for me since I was travelling that day and didn't have time to go out for food. I also got one of the baked treats that was a special that day, and it was also delicious. The overall vibe of the restaurant was cozy and comfy. It felt like a cage that you would go to in the mountains, it felt very much like a cabin in the woods that has the best food you've ever had. I will definitely be going back. read more

This place is adorable. A converted craftsman home into a breakfast spot. There is two set of stairs to get to this place with a small table for outdoor dining. All parties need to be present to be seated. It gets crowded but you are able to get seated fairly fast. We sat at a two top in the bar and enjoyed the Piggy Patty Pile French toast and Greta Garbo with two seasonal alcoholic beverages. Greta Garbo is their gluten free Benedict and so delicious I didn't leave anything on the plate. Service was attentive and kind. Would for sure come back to check out their other menu items. Tips: would be great for earlier before the crush but they move tables quickly. Stairs would be an issue for accessibility folks and they have street parking :) read more

TLDR: the carb options were the best part of this meal, egg dishes not as memorable. Potato cakes and cinnamon roll were particularly excellent! The potato cakes are basically flat topped garlicky mashed potatoes, and the cinnamon roll was soft and served warm. I also loved how they had house made strawberry jam for your toast option! Each had a unique twist to it and we were very happy about what we ordered! For egg dishes we tried the kitchen sink scramble which was nothing special, as well as the cabana. It's basically a Mexican breakfast casserole. There were 4 parties ahead of us on a Sunday at noon, but the tables turned over relatively quickly. read more

Best breakfast food ever and best service! Delicious drinks too! This place is a gem!

We were hungry and wanted something quick to eat and so we decided on this place...well we definitely did not get our quickness as our food took really long time. We ordered take out and got the southern breakfast burrito. The burrito was fine, it came with a lot of eggs and some chicken sausage and cheese and chiles. It also come with a side of refried beans, sour cream and salsa. The burrito and bean was definitely on the bland side as well. It definitely needed salt. I had to use all the salsa to get some flavor in it. However, for it being around $16, I kinda expected more because it was a very simple burrito with pretty standard tasting. read more

Came here for brunch Saturday morning (If you come early enough, they have early bird specials before 9am FYI) We got a cinnamon roll to start and ordered a couple of breakfast entrees. The cinnamon roll is fantastic! Highly recommend. B.A.T. Bennie - this is a Benedict with bacon, avocado and tomato. The bennies come with a single garlic mashed potato cake and a side of fruit (kind of wish they'd come with two potato cakes like their other entrees, but oh well). The hollandaise sauce is on the lemony side if you like that. The bacon was good. Egg yolk was pretty runny (I asked for it to be cooked medium, they said they are all cooked medium - so was surprised by the runniness since I saw some review complain about the yolks being too hard). Biggest complaint with this was the quality of avocado used. One Benny had completely brown avocado, some of the pieces were bordering black and I had to pick it off. The other Benny was on the brown side but I ate it anyway. I would think they would inspect the avocado being used but I guess not. La Cabana - this is the baked breakfast casserole served weekends only. It was pretty tasty, but unfortunately it was served lukewarm and on the cold side. We asked for it to be reheated again which they accommodated, but it was still not very hot. The como bread is a great toast option! Overall, I think the menu is pretty epic with tons of options I'd like to try, and the cinnamon rolls are super yummy, but the brunch entrees seem to be hit or miss with quality control and execution which I was a bit disappointed with. read more

so basically i dream about these garlic potato cakes at least once a week. this place just has such classic old seattle early 2000s energy, in the best way possible. i feel like the prices are reasonable for the area, and its just such a comforting vibe. super happy this exists still! read more

During the holidays stopped by to give it a try. Busy Wednesday mid-morning and 40 minutes wait since we were a party of 5. Menu variety is pretty good, many things seemed appealing. Unfortunately the ingredients are not fresh, most of the items served are commercial grade (Sausage, salsa, refried beans, etc), so it doesn't help the flavor profiles nor textures. But the coffee (drip) was extremely good! And I heard the cinnamon rolls homemade over the weekend are really good. Service was excellent, fast, friendly and effective. Ambience is cozy as it used to be a home. read more

So charming! Came for brunch while in town for a visit & this was clearly once a single family home that has been converted into a brunch-plus restaurant, not just retaining but embracing the ambiance of a neighborhood domicile. I loved my Eggs Benedict; they were pretty much perfect and they came with a garlic-y potato thing that was awesome, as well as a great fruit salad. My friend got a coffee cake and a few other unremarkable things, but he brought me here because he's always enjoyed their food. This would probably be my regular brunch spot if I lived in the area. read more

I've been a handful more times in the last few years and am upgrading to 4 stars because I've found some tried and true breakfasts that I really do love. The Purdy Girl scramble (homemade pesto scrambled with tomatoes, spinach & mozzarella cheese) is a particular favorite with really great flavor. The potato cake is still out of this world delicious. I wish they offered espresso, but if you enjoy a bold drip, they're ready for you. (And there are nearby places for your espresso needs.) I always feel like a guest in someone's home (because it's literally an old house). Expect a wait on weekends for sure. read more

**vegetarian review** This place doesnt look like much - but the food is really really good, It feels like you are walking into someone's house - the tables and chairs are assorted and its a cozy vibe. I got the eggs Benedict which were exactly as I expect them to be. I was a little disappointed that this place doesnt have a bigger drink menu - I wanted mocha/latte and they only had black coffee. Regardless, I'd go back for the basic breakfast options which were well done. read more

I have food allergies to dairy, onions, and garlic. They are careful about this, get it right every time without complaint, and even with everything left out the food is extremely good. My husband praised the hot cocoa, and I thought the apparently house-made strawberry preserves were a stand-out, as well as the bacon/spinach/mushroom scramble. The converted house is funky and comfortable, not too noisy even when full. Service is friendly and attentive without being obtrusive. read more

Eating at Wild Mountain Cafe kind of feels like Thanksgiving Dinner at your aunt's, for better or worse. It's in an old house with lots of mismatched tables and chairs (some of which look very uncomfortable) crammed in. It's both cozy and a little claustrophobic, but has "neighborhood joint" vibes that I am all for. There are lots of options on the menu and I want to try them all! No espresso, but the drip is fine. We got a big Greek Salad (which was decent; I am always a fan of any big salad I can find) and a scramble (perfectly serviceable). As everyone has mentioned, the potato cakes are a highlight (basically they're garlic mashed potatoes in cake form). Service was courteous and fast. They did forget our cinnamon roll but adjusted our check accordingly when we pointed it out--we were too full anyway! They look great though and we'll be back for one! The cafe is some stairs, by the way, so might be tough for some folks. Street parking abounds, and maybe we were lucky, but we didn't have to wait for a table at all at around 11 on a Saturday. read more

Great atmosphere and terrific service. The Eggs Benedict was wonderful and my AARP discount made it all the better.

I always saw Wild Mountain Cafe while driving on 85th and had it bookmarked for a few years. We finally checked it out during winter a while back and have returned a few times. It's on a busy road, but you can find street parking fairly easily. The restaurant was originally a house, and they have mismatched chairs, cups, utensils, etc. - like you'd find in your grandma's house. It's very cute and cozy. You feel like you're eating in someone's living room, which has a certain charm. Onto the food... I like the cinnamon roll and the fact that it's not drenched in frosting. They do run out, so I'd suggest going earlier in the morning if you have your heart set on one. I also enjoy their garlic potato cakes - it's garlicy, creamy, but crispy on the outside. The rest of the food we've tried has been pretty average. I'm not a fan of their drip coffee, but I do love all their different/random coffee mugs. read more

One of our favorite sit down breakfast spot in Seattle. The service is always top notch and food is delicious. Get the potato cakes! A fav!

1st just beware that this charming restaurant has a long flight of stairs so is not handicapped accessible. The disadvantage of converting a lovely old house into a restaurant. That said it was definitely worth the effort. Funky atmosphere, friendly service and good food. I had the Joe 'Shmoe. Excellent bacon (and I'm a bacon snob). Eggs cooked perfectly and the mashed potato-roasted garlic cakes were delicious. My husband had the mac and cheese. He pronounced it not the best he'd ever had but very good especially with whole cloves of toasted garlic. The coffee is good and she never let our cups get empty. Over all, definitely recommend. read more

Love it! Low key Northwest style cuisine in a cute little house with multiple dining rooms and a stand-up bar. The food is great and the service too! The only thing negative I have to point out are the two medium staircases outdoors to get to the entrance, with very wobbly bannisters, well worth the climb, but may challenge seniors and mobility impaireds. read more

I took my friend here from England. she loves a big American breakfast. The cafe was lovely as we entered. Beautiful outdoor seating . A homey feel inside, like you were dining in a private home. She loved the fancy table settings and cottage like feel of the place. We splurged and got the mimosas. They were great. But there was only one server for a busy crowd. We had to wait to order, to get our mimosas and our food. I'm paying and this breakfast will easily exceed 100.00. Next, we ordered two Northwest lox Benedicts. I wanted her to try our salmon. She liked it and the garlic potatoes it comes with. Really, enjoyed the uniqueness of this spot more than the food. Was looking for a unique experience and this place delivered. The food was good. I wouldn't come back here just for the food. It was passable, but for a regular Seattlite, unremarkable. Great unique setting. Acceptable food. High prices. Will only come here to impress a guest, otherwise too expensive read more

If you're looking for hearty food and friendly service in a comfortable atmosphere, Wild Mountain Cafe is the place to go! They are situated inside a converted house with purple walls outside and yellow walls inside. It felt like we were dining in at a dear friend's home. Their toast and scrambles were solid and robust, their potato cakes (pan-fried mashed potato) were yummy, and their $8 early bird special (7:30-9am) is such a steal! The only stutter was that our waitress mistakenly gave my friend regular bread when she asked for gluten-free; she apologized and took care of her coffee. An honest mistake, aptly corrected. I highly recommend this neighborhood spot for a delicious and homey meal. read more

A nice cozy restaurant in a renovated old Seattle home! We were looking for a traditional breakfast spot on Google and chose Wild Mountain. As expected, there was a bit of a wait on a Sunday morning for a party of 3. There's seating and a covered area to wait outside, so bundle up on a cold day. We didn't see much of the interior as we were seated near the front of the restaurant, but it was decorated and furnished like they're welcoming some old friends to eat. I really enjoyed that. Service was nice and quick. The food was delicious and I loved the garlic potato patty. A new potato-breakfast side than hash browns or home-style fries. My friends loved their eggs Benedict and Mac and cheese (not traditional, but she couldn't resist). I would definitely order the mac as it was so creamy with complex, comforting flavors. Yum. read more

My third time for breakfast. First time I found it cute and a fun setup in an old house. Rooms broken up into eating areas. Second time I'm thinking still fun but the noise level hit me. Today...was seated in a room towards the back on the right. A smallish room with three tables for 2 and 2 tables for 4. If you're noise sensitive this is not the place for you...however I've only been there for breakfast. Small space between tables. We were seated promptly and menus in hand. The food delivery was slowish...the place was busy. Like their mashed potato patties. For folks with any mobile issues...there are some steep steps to go up. There is street parking only but I've never had a problem. read more
