    Cinnamon roll
    Kristen L.

    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.

    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!

    Northwest Lox Benedict -- asked for my béarnaise sauce on the side.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Yes the Cinnamon roll ($6.75) deserves 3 pictures

    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.

    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!

    Cinnamon roll
    Celina S.

    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.

    Cure All Mac N Chz

    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.

    Piggy Patty Pile
    Lizz N.

    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 :)

    Breakfast burrito
    Huong L.

    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.

The pork chop was tender, and went well with the homemade vinegar & garlic sauce. The long lumpia shanghai was GBD, and also went well with the sauce. The longanisa had a texture that reminded me of childhood, and the Ilocos sausage (that is less fatty), was a nice contrast. Lastly, the savory corned beef was a good way to finish the big portion of garlic rice. I def needed a nap after this meal. Regarding the ambiance, its a small, casual place that holds 50. You order at the front, and your food is brought to you quickly. There were a lot of Flip clients, but there were also a fair number of non-Flip clients. Many of the clients looked like regulars. The staff is super nice, and they play Hawaiian reggae in the background. All in all, an awesome experience in DT Seattle. There's a reason Ludi's is on Yelp's Top 100 list. I have a trip booked in Oct to SEA, and I'm glad my hotel is very close to Ludi's.

It was a generous portion included with a trip to the berry bar. The berry bar was very fresh and well maintained as far as cleanliness. It was also in a prime location, near the tables but not too close and not in the way of the walking path. The peaches were juicy and sweet and the cream cheese frosting was a decadent topping. I added some berries which made it extra special. I liked the caramel shards, but they were a little on the thick side for my liking and were a bit tough to eat. However, I really enjoyed the dish overall! I also got a side of peppered bacon which was well-cooked, crispy, and extra peppery. My friend got the classic French toast and a side of potatoes. She loved the French toast with the included berry bar trip! However, the potatoes were cut into HUGE pieces which were difficult to eat even though they were cooked through.
