I really enjoyed my breakfast here. I had the huevos rancheros. I prob wouldn't normally order something with beans for breakfast, but the dish was flavorful. It would prob be great if you're nursing a hangover. Also, do get the cinnamon roll. It was not too sweet, slightly yeasty, and delicious. I would have given this place four stars if the service was slightly better. It wasn't bad but they were not as attentive as I would have liked. I will definitely be back to check out happy hour. read more

sign #1 that a restaurant has great food. The portion could easily feed a family of four yet you can't stop yourself from eating nearly the entire thing...while telling yourself "stop. Stop now. Stop right now or you will regret it" In the end the breafast burrito was way to much for me alone but alas I could not be stopped. I guess sometimes its just too much fun to ignore the voices. Closed on Tuesday so come anyday but then. The burrito was awesome. Im not sure ive ever been given a steak knife with a breakfast burrito before. read more

Breakfast here, particularly the fremont fool (granola) and coffee cake, satisfies me in a way few other activities can. I'm always full and happy before leaving, which means I'll continue to keep this place on my short list for weekend breakfast options. Aside from food, the atmosphere has a comfortable, neighborhood vibe. It's a converted house with tasteful art. Everything comes together to give this cafe the highest recommendation. read more

My party got there at 8:45, and we waited about 40 minutes to get a table for 6. I didn't think that was bad, but to get in faster we actually settled for a table for 4. The waitstaff and servers were all very friendly and upbeat. Inside the place was basically a converted house (including the old furniture, which made it a little awkward to eat). There wasn't any ventilation, and for being so packed, an open window would have been nice. I had the Piggy Patty Pile Up, others had Eggs Benedict, a Tower of Power and someone had a Veggie only concoction. We also ordered Cinnamon rolls. Those were the best! I would give the cinnamon rolls 5 stars!!! The other stuff... was all really mild tasting except the potato cakes. Those looked like instant mashed potatoes in garlic flavor. It was really strong, and maybe not the best choice in the morning? The sausage I got with my Piggy Patty was really mild. I expected a little spice and punch from a sausage. The french toast was also really bland. It just tasted like a little soggy toast. I wouldn't go as far as 4 stars, I'd say this place hovers around 2.50-3.05. I just felt like besides the cinnamon roll the place isn't really that remarkable. On top of it, it isn't the cheapest place either! I'd just go to Dish Cafe if you're going to have to wait at least wait for good, cheap breakfast food! read more

Always outstanding food! And the cafe is so cute. Owners and staff are great as well.

I'm usually the kind of person that has a hard time being lured away from the instant gratification of breakfast at home, seeing as it's the first thing I think about getting up in the morning and get excited about before going to sleep, BUT when I do manage to push past the allure of making something perfectly fit to my agenda, this is where I end up. I adore it--I have ogled over the french toast many a time and have helped wolf down the ginormous, glazed, gooey perfection that is the cinnamon roll there. Their benedict is stunning, both the veggie and the lox--although the traditional is good too, just, traditional. I would like to review again when I've tried more because I feel like I haven't tried enough to really be an accurate scale. That being said, the scrambles i've tried, the benedict, the cinnamon roll, coffee cake and grapefruit juice were are absolutely lovely. The only thing that was just kind of eh, was the Fremont Fool. But, to be fair, yogurt is something I've grown to be very specific about in what I expect the flavors and textures to be, so, it's probably just me. Anyway--really wonderful breakfast place--packed on the weekends, but very much worth hanging out for a bit! read more

yummy yum yuminy yum. I finally got around to trekking all the way to Ballard for this little gem this weekend. It was a sunny sunday and we didn't even mind the wait because we got to sit outside and admire the beautiful, drought resistant garden out front. Our food was lovely- we had the tower of power (yummmmm) the chile and egg scramble (good, but a little bland) and the lox benedict (ohmygoddess delish). Oh yeah, and the cinnamon roll was one of the best I've ever eaten. I love the atmosphere and the business philosophy, the service was kind, attentive and friendly without being intrusive and the food was fantastic- though I must admit, not *quite* as good as it sounded on the menu- perhaps it could use just a bit more spice or... something (hence the 4 stars instead of 5). I love the variety of vegetarian options they offer here. I am also a brunch fiend and the fact that they serve breakfast 'til 4 means that I will be making the trek up the Wild Mountain more often, and dragging my Ballard and Fremont friends with me. read more

Not too shabby! I had the Buddha's Scramble, and it had tofu in it... I am still puzzled by this. I knew it was tofu. I ordered it. But I swear to god, my palate was totally tricked into thinking it was paneer cheese. I have no clue how. But it was delicious! All the cheese, and none of the evil! The service was good, the food was wonderful, portions were spot on (for someone who likes to take a bit of food home, but not too much), the prices weren't too bad ($9-13ish). My friend ordered the tahini-stuffed french toast, and apparently it was damned good, too. I will totally be going back here! read more

If you like the smell of old houses, the sound of creaky floors and furniture, and enjoying your meal in freezing cold temperatures, Wild Mountain Cafe fits the bill. As for me, I was unimpressed. Cold air was blowing on us (and this is February, mind you, not August, where that might be a bonus) for the whole meal. Although the restaurant was not overly busy, it took more than 40 minutes to get our breakfast. My breakfast was bland and completely unseasoned. (I had the "Tower of Power," which is a great vegetarian breakfast if your definition of "great" is "almost completely flavorless.") Also, for what was essentially a plate of boiled spinach, mashed potatoes, and two pieces of toasted, store-bought multigrain bread, the price was RIDICULOUS ($11). The service was okay, but not great; I did not order a drink, and was not offered water when another ordered it, though I sort of assumed she would bring waters for the table. She didn't. She also forgot my boyfriend's side salad, and had to be reminded. Also, a warning: They don't make paninis on the weekend. Evidently their kitchen is too small. I will not be back. What a waste of money. read more

The dinner here is outstanding. You must try the Aglio Oglio appetizer- it is the best appetizer I have ever had. The goat cheese, olive oil and garlic cloves and toasted rosemary bread all mesh together in some orgasmic combination... throw a fresh basil leaf on top and you are going to be in heaven. Both the fried chicken entree and seared scallop entree were fantastic. We came back for breakfast today and ordered the eggs benedict and joe schmo- both were great. The ham was a bit dry and their signature garlic potato cakes were yummy, but a bit too much like a dinner mashed potato for my breakfast preferences. The eggs were cooked to perfection and my boyfriend said he never had a better eggs benedict in his life. The blueberry pecan coffee cake was also yummy. read more

I came here and had quite possibly the best omelette I have ever had in my entire life. The coffee was also excellent. On a side note, the decor and aesthetic of the place is really, really fun and nice. read more

Best breakfast I've had in seasons!! The place is very cozy and the staff is awesome! This is truly a diamond in the rough! Note: If you are looking for a place to get your "Yuppy SB Espresso" with white linens and valet service then get lost! I don't want your kind coming into this awesome little "hole-in-the-wall" and ruining my excellent dining experiences. read more

Love, love, love this place! Basically an older home that's been converted to a restaurant; this is where you get a quality, no frills, made from scratch breakfast. Even the jams/jellies are homemade as well. Get there early for a decent seat. They don't take reservations, and if you get there after 11, be prepared to wait. The bar area is a bit small, and is often full as well. Quite an eclectic menu, you will find something for everyone. My favorites are the scrambles. I live about 40 minutes away, but if I lived closer, Wild Mountain would surely be a weekly staple. When I have out of town guests, I always take them here. read more

Had breakfast here twice. First time we were seated in the main room and food was good, just not as good as it sounded on the menu. Chris and I hit it this weekend, around lunchtime, and we were seated at the bar which was not good because it was a little too "behind the scenes," if you know what I mean. I don't need to hear about the woman who got the wrong bill, or see the cinnamon roll get left in the microwave with no table to go to (I'm glad it wasn't mine. Mine was delicious, by the way). Chris had the Piggy Pile which was more like a low mound, and I had a chile and egg dish that tasted squeaky. I loved the whole atmosphere the first time, but I think I'm over it now. Take your chances. read more

a cozy spot, and for some reason I never feel like I am in Seattle here, which on some days can be a real good thing. I equate it to a small townish, hippyish place with lots of comfort food where everyone in there does something outdoorsy. coffee- nice, bold and earthy AND they have great eclectic mugs, like a butt clad in blue jeans. :-) i have had a few breakfasts, lunches and bar visits here but the standout meal that made me stand up and say, "dang, i need to yelp about that!' was the jumbalaya i had a few days ago. It was mighty fine, I love when good food causes me to break out in a smile. It came along with a great Greek salad and I plan on making some repeat visits for that jumbalaya. Okay kids, carry on. :-) read more

I'm not going to lie; I was a little skeptical going into this converted house style restaurant... But to my surprise it was actually really great! They have a spacious outside deck where you wait for your table and enjoy a complimentary cup of coffee. This was a great way to ease my skepticism. Once we were seated in what seamed like the dining room, we ordered Bloody Marys right away (see photo). They had the perfect amount of spice while still being pretty boozy. I ordered the Parisian Sunrise and my boyfriend ordered their famous Eggs Benedict (see photo). We both really enjoyed our entrees and we're glad we chose what we did because the menu options are really extensive! Overall, this is a unique experience if your looking for a quaint brunch place in Crown Hill. I don't know if we'll be back but we appreciated the warm hospitality we received at The Wild Mountain Café. read more

Wild Mountain Café is a quaint affair that is run out of a small house in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood. Art for sale is mounted on the walls, and seating is quite tight -- elbow room is at a serious premium, so if you come here be prepared to squeeze past other patrons and carefully navigate your way to and from your table to avoid bumping others. Part of the charm. I had the huevos rancheros from the breakfast menu and I found it very well executed. Portions were appropriate for the price and the dish was quite tasty. My dining companion had a grilled ham, swiss and pineapple sandwich that was called something like "the Hawaii Five-Oh" and he found it to be quite delicious. However, we have to give them a serious ding on the side that came with that sandwich, namely tortilla chips and salsa. That is fine and well as a side, but on this score this restaurant failed. There was a relatively generous amount of chips put on the plate with the sandwich, and what looked like a teeny-tiny fingerbowl of salsa that could not have amounted to more than two tablespoons, nowhere remotely sufficient to go with that quantity of chips. I mean, cripes, can you spare it already? Geeze. Naturally he requested another serving of salsa... and we were surprised to be billed 75 cents for it. Nobody, but nobody, likes to be nickel-and-dimed like that, particularly for something as cheap as a mouthful of salsa which by all rights should be a complimentary condiment. Very bad form. Overall I would recommend this place as a unique and interesting venue, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go there. If you happen to be in the neighborhood, give it a try. read more

I was a bit skeptical when I called on a Saturday night to make reservations and was told I didn't need one because they weren't very busy. Bad sign, right? Boy was I mistaken! When we walked into the Greenwood/Ballard/Crown Hill restaurant we were received with a friendly greeting, an open table and a singer playing guitar. The menu is southern food with a NW twist. For starters we had the Hot Dates, the Snik Spin Sal and the Hail Caesar. The breaded goat cheese in the Snik Spin Sal was very good, I wish I had two! My husband ordered the fried catfish and I ordered the ribs, both were surprisingly delicious. The catfish was flaky, moist and had a good spicy seasoning on the breading. The ribs were oven cooked and were so tender the meat fell right off the bones. I admit, I had low expectations coming here especially since I am from the South... but I'm glad to have found such a cute restaurant with a nice atmosphere and good food close to home. It's not authentic Southern food, but I don't think it's trying to be. Can't wait to try breakfast here! read more

I've lived in the Greenwood neighborhood for nearly ten years and for the past however-long-it's-been-open I've been meaning to try Wild Mountain. My first experience was great! We went for a late breakfast on a Sunday around 11 AM and had no problem getting seated within ten minutes. They had free coffee at the bar while you waited and enough flowers and plants outside to enjoy if you felt a little cramped in the waiting area (there's not much of one). I love that it's an old house (maybe 1900-1920s era, hard to tell with random updating that has been done and lots of patrons blocking my view) and they kept a lot of the antique flair when converting it to a restaurant. "I wonder whose bedroom we're eating in?" The place does feel a bit cramped and if you get seated in the small room in the far back corner you'd better not have an inappropriate conversation because everyone in the room WILL hear you. Also, if you're over 6 foot watch your head on the light fixtures! Overall, I enjoyed my meal and the service... and contemplating the funky art that rotates (I hope). I'm craving those breakfast mashed potato pancake things so maybe I'll go there on Sunday... read more

This is my go-to breakfast place and I LOVE it! I usually go for the Piper's Creek or Surefire Thing. But the Vinny, or whichever scramble it is that has pineapple in it, is actually really good, and you should try it. Love the servers here, and the rotating art on the walls. Food is usually pretty fast, I can only remember getting hangry while waiting once or twice, which was probably on a busy Sunday morning. Tip: the cinnamon rolls look better than they taste, so if you're in the mood for something sweet, get the daily coffee cake, which is AMAZING!!!!!! My only, only thing that I wish was different is that they had a different potato option than the garlic potato cake, which is a pan-seared garlic mashed potato patty. It's tasty, but just not my style. read more

both my husband and i thought it was the most delicious breakfast we had in a while. food quality along with generous portions, tasty drip coffee, attractive house decoration and pretty waitress made us happy. the bill total was another pleasant surprise. Fine happy hour deal; don't skip greek salad, roasted garlic, chicken pesto sandwich - you can ask for bacon or xtra pesto on it. one more thing: french toast with tahini is amazing. however, ive been eating tahini halva all my life and know what tahini paste taste like. if you haven't, you might not like it - stranga danga. read more

I have to admit I was pretty disappointed with Wild Mountain Cafe. I had read some yelp reviews and was excited to try the cinnamon roll. It did not live up to the hype - not enough frosting, too dry, and microwaved over. My "La Cabana", described as a "big slice of yum", was even worse as it was way way way way too dry. It didn't taste like much besides cardboard and I don't think it was very fresh. My companion's "Tower of Power" was way better. The potato cakes were good - basically browned over mashed potatoes. It also tasted relatively healthy as it was covered in vegetables. Giving this place 3 stars because I'm attributing my experience to bad food ordering luck. I'm hopeful that other items are better. However, I may not be back again to try them out. read more

I came here on a double brunch date after reading the great reviews and, I must say, my experience was consistent with many of the other reviewers! Overall, it's a great restaurant with home-y ambiance, an adventurous menu balanced with traditional classics which live up to expectations, and a welcoming family sense of customer service. PROS: 1. Great food. I stuck with the classic eggs benedict and was not disappointed. Everything was prepared as it should have been. And, the accompanying garlic hash was superbly garlic-y. I can't wait to come back to try the Persian French Toast. 2. Great ambiance. It's like you're dining at someone's house. Literally. 3. Great prices. CONS: Only things to complain about include: 1. Long wait times 2. Lack of handicapped access (my bf on crutches had to hobble up the stairs) read more

Great mac and cheese, black bean cakes, brunch, etc. Love that the bar is an old waterbed headboard, everything is mismatched and from thrift stores, and it's an old house! They are the prime example of recycling and buying local, organic, etc. Love this place! read more

GO HERE NOW! It doesn't get any better. This is my second Yelp review and let me tell you.... I went to Portage Bay after hearing so many good things about it from my friends and was pleased. Then came Wild Mountain Cafe. Everything that I had previously known as "amazing food" was thrown out the window. From the moment you walk in you feel like you are eating at your friend's parents house and you know their mom cooks the best food. I ordered the Piper's Creek Scramble and she ordered the Eggs Benedict. WOW. I never felt so pleased inside while eating brunch. I could not contain myself as I ate it and began making sensual moaning noises as I ate. The family sitting next to me kept giving me odd stares but it mattered not as I was on my quest to demolish the plate set before me. I felt like a piece of me inside had been finally fulfilled. After eating the Piper's Creek Scramble I really don't know how I can ever fully enjoy any sort of breakfast to that degree now. I'm hesitant to even finish my quest to hit the top 20 of Yelp brunch! read more

Been coming here for a few years now. I wish they still did dinners. Breakfast/brunch is always good. great little kitch place with good home made food. I'll be back in about a week. I'll plan for it read more

Huevos rancheros: my all-time favorite comfort food. Wild Mountain Cafe: my all-time favorite Seattle spot for my all-time favorite comfort food. Seattle has a host of great restaurants, and I admit I'm not much of a loyal customer, because I like to try new places whenever I dine out. This, however, is one place I have revisited several times. I just plain like what they have going on there -- the cozy atmosphere, the friendly service, the consistently scrumptious food. Be sure to check out the binder that explains the history of the house and the play-by-play photographs of its renovation into a restaurant. Those crazy doors into the kitchen will finally make some sense...kind of. read more

Just had breakfast here with a friend on Wednesday morning and we were both first-timers to this place; we selected Wild Mountain because of its good reviews on Yelp and its proximity to the Nordic Heritage Museum. First off, we both liked the cozy atmosphere of the converted house -- it reminded me of the now-defunct Gaspare Italian Restaurant (which used to be on Greenwood Ave N). When we arrived around 11:30 a.m., there were two couples in the place, so we were seated immediately, but the restaurant seemed to reach capacity within 45 minutes of when we arrived and it appeared like some people had to wait for a table. I had the organic orange juice (at $4.75 for a large glass, which seemed quite steep) and my friend had coffee (free refills and they were able to give her soymilk as creamer!). Both of us ordered the French Toast Slam ($8.75 for French toast, 2 eggs any style, and 2 slices of bacon -- a good value). The food arrived quickly and our waitress was attentive, refilling coffee and water as needed and checking in about the quality of our food. My eggs were just right, the bacon was fairly thick and greasy (as it should be!) and the French toast wasn't too greasy. I enjoyed everything. I'm not sure if I'll make a point of coming here specifically for future breakfast trips (I'm sold on Portage Bay Cafe and Cafe Flora), but it works well if you plan to head down to Ballard for a day out. It's tasty, fast, and friendly. read more

Yay for brunch! Who doesn't love eggs at 3pm? My man and I stopped by one afternoon after a late morning of lots of black coffee and fruitless used furniture shopping. We were finally ready to eat some real food. And it was really hard to decide! Especially when you're hungry, but especially when everything on the menu is unique and sounds fabulous. I settled on the Piper's Creek Scramble because I loooove lox and I liked the idea of getting my favorite bagel fixins in an egg scramble. It comes with tomato, caper and bits of cream cheese! The potato cakes are amazing and basically consist of garlic mashed potatoes grilled just a bit. My man had The Florentia Scramble so he could get his bacon on and it was pretty scrumptious too. He decided to opt to get the coffee cake instead of toast which was oh so smart. He got a fat slice of blueberry coffee cake that was oh so delicious. I stole a couple of bites, yes. The little house-cafe is charming and decorated with colorful pieces from various artists. There are lots of plants scattered throughout the cozy house and we got the table overlooking the front door which is just above the garden. It was rainy and we were cozy inside listening to an eclectic mix of Prince and some other '80's hits that you couldn't help but sing along to. The staff was warm and you could hear them joking around in the back just like you and your friends might do in your own house. The staff's sense of humor extends to their serving ware also because when my boyfriend ordered coffee it was served in a cup with the title "Grandma" on it and decorated with flowers. To top it off, the creamer was a little white porcelain kitten that when you tipped it, the cream came out the cat's mouth! Freaking adorable. We're cat people so it was just the best. I'd like to come back here and try happy hour since the bar looks equally cute and cozy and cocktails and micros are only $3. Dealz. In any case, I hope to take more friends here so that I can try the Northwest Bene (w/more lox!) or the Bomb! Breakfast Burrito or maybe the tahini-stuffed french toast...OMG...I'll definitely be back. read more

Aside from making me doubt myself every time I say its name, because it sounds too much like a ride at Disneyland, this place is good. Some people might give it points for looking like your grandma's living room, but my 6'8" husband and I get antsy in tight spaces, so it wasn't for us. However, if you're the type who loves when the word "cute" in close proximity to the word "brunch" in your Yelp reviews, it will be your jam. The food doesn't disappoint. For breakfast, they say the cinnamon roll is their specialty, but that's probably because cinnamon rolls are "safe." The really special dishes are the lox eggs benedict, cardamom tahini-stuffed french toast, and the Mexican scrambled eggs (the "Vince"). For dinner, try the coconut prawns or fried chicken. read more

Hmm. I had a coffee and the eggs benedict but I wasn't wowed. I read the many "rave reviews" and my expectations were set to "high". A little too much sauce. The service was good: prompt, polite and attentive without being intrusive. The place reminded me of the house i grew up in LA including the mismatched furniture. but not the paintings of farm animals. I went here for breakfast. the fruit cup that comes with the eggs benedict was ok It's good but not worth the drive from capitol hill for breakfast. read more

My boyfriend and I came here for brunch this weekend. I always have a hard time with the five point rating; I really wish it was 10, because I'd give this place a 7. But since 6 seems too low, Four stars is what they receive. It's such a cute place, first of all. A converted house in Ballard (a few doors down behind the Walgreen's) with a little garden out front full of herbs, flowers and fuzzy bees. Pretty painting on the porch. Inside is brightly lit, nicely painted and decorated, and very homey/quirky feeling. We loved it. The prices are reasonable, which is great. We each had a coffee (I like that they don't bring water unless you ask - I wonder how much water is wasted by people who don't ask for it not drinking it?). The staff all seem laidback, kinda bohemian, tattooey types. The menu is extensive, with everything you could want for breakfast or lunch. Despite its kinda hippie vibe, it wasn't vegetarian (fine by me!(, but did have soymilk for our coffee when we asked. My boyfriend ordered the Persian Sun - french toast stuffed with tahini, and covered in pineapple chunks and pineapple juice. He liked it well enough. Me? If I'd ordered it, I'd still be hungry. Tahini (sesame paste) is a strong, nutty flavour with an edge of bitterness, and I thought the flavours clashed. For me, it was an ill-conceived dish that really didn't work, palate-wise. I had the Eggs Benny - a good standby. I ordered my eggs medium, and they came firm, but better over than under done, for me, and I find a LOT of places find the medium poached egg a challenge (nb: firm white all the way through, yolk buttery with a small amount of yolk run). My English muffin was way undertoasted, which is a pet peeve - makes for a spongey sog at the bottom. Ham and hollandaise was good, with the ham being flavourful and yummy, and the hollandaise being light, buttery and heavy on the lemon. I like it that way. This place is definitely kid-friendly. The service was average, the food was average, the the prices and atmosphere were above average. I'll come back for sure and see how my next visit compares. read more

So far, this place has the most personality for brunch, and the service was fun (really friendly, quirky). The coffee could be better, but the food was good. Definitely nothing insane or surprising on the menu (except I did snag some of Ian's garlic pancakes, and those were good), but it was solid. Ian's egg's benedict were a tad overdone--no yolk running in sight, but still was pretty good. read more

Friendly, quick service in a cute little house turned restaurant. I had the tahini stuffed French toast in a light honey syrup with pineapple on top. The flavors really complemented each other. Unfortunately the french toast pieces were not the greatest. I don't know if it was the bread or what but they were soggy-ish. The ham that was served with it paired well with the light honey flavor and pineapple. Overall it was a unique, tasty dish - if the french toast had been firmer it would have been perfect. read more

I just want to say a few things... Thank you for always delivering an amazing breakfast even when you are insanely busy. Thank you for some delicious Eggs Benedict. Thank you for "The Vince" and pineapple juice garlic potato cakes mimosas and... AMAZING service and DELICIOUS Food!!!! You rock Seattle breakfast all the time!! read more

We've been for breakfast twice. They have a lot of variety on the menu, but everything we've had thus far has been great (Eggs Benedict, Roo's Hometown Scramble, Mega Migas and La Cabana). The best part, for us, is the kids menu. For breakfast, children can choose any three of several items including: bacon, sausage, fruit cup, french toast, eggs, potato cake, or regular toast. Kids drinks are included and the fruit cup has a nice selection. read more

Great food. Fun atmosphere. Building with some history. Ask to see their Wild Mountain Cafe photo album with the history of the building, how they remade their own tables with recycled tiles, how they promote community and sustainability, how they got started, etc. Includes historic photos of the building. Food is really good. Not very fast. I'd like to try their wine and beer bar sometime. read more

This one is a five star for me for sure, mainly because the food was so interesting and well-prepared. What I LOVED: -The place smells like butter when you walk in. It is heavely. -Despite the beautiful buttery aroma in the air, the food itself was absolutely delicious, not greasy, and we didn't feel gross after eating it. -The menu is very well thought out. A lot of interesting things to try (I had the Vince eggs, which were the weirdest sounding thing I could imagine - but it was wonderful). I will come back again and again to explore the menu. -The place is straight out of Portlandia. Other stuff: -Waitstaff were nice, but service was kind of slow and not particularly attentive. We had to ask for our orange juice a couple of times, and they aren't on top of keeping your coffee warm. -They don't accept resos, but you can wait outside on the porch with a cup of coffee. -It looks like a house, so easy to miss. The front yard is chock full of beautiful greenery to look and and enjoy. -Street parking. We were able to find a spot within a half a block. -Coffee is just okay. Nothing too robust or special. -They told us that they typically run out of the famous cinnamon buns by noon, so get there early if you want one. -They don't acceot reservations. read more

The BF and I had brunch here last Sunday. We figured a place with 4 solid stars on almost 200 reviews was a spot worth checking out. It's a cute little spot inside a converted house. The art on the wall is pretty cool - lots of paintings of well-known Seattle spots/landmarks. They have a case in the front full of the biggest cinnamon rolls I've ever seen. The place def has a homey, comfortable feel to it. They make some really good Eggs Benedict. The BF had the original Bennie, while I had the GF version of the NW Lox Bennie, which had two potato cakes in place of the English muffins. The hollandaise sauce is aaaaamazing here! It's rich, it's creamy, it's lemon-y, it's to die for! The BF had coffee, while I sipped on mimosas. Our server was warm and friendly; and service was great! We were greeted and seated promptly; we had our drinks and food soon after we ordered; and our server checked in with us periodically to make sure we were ok. I would say brunch is a little on the higher end, price-wise, but considering how delish the high quality food is, it's reasonable, IMO! Wild Mountain Cafe is a great spot, but it probably will not be our "go-to" brunch spot. This is def a place we'd take fam and friends who are visiting us, though! read more

Really good breakfast spot with huge portions and a nice and varied menu. I love houses that are converted into restaurants, as I feel more "homey" and that I've really been invited into someone's home for a meal. Lots of vegetarian options and the coffee was really tasty as well. Just wish I could have gotten a refill without having to ask, but that's not a big deal. The Tower of Power was tasty but HUGE! I probably only ate half of it, and got the leftovers wrapped up. I ordered it without green peppers, but the peppers were on it anyway. If you really don't care for green peppers, emphasize that you don't want them as the flavor seemed to permeate throughout. Nevertheless, I still LOVED this! Hubby ordered the Veggie Bennie and loved it as well. This is a solid breakfast option in Seattle. read more
