Late afternoon and we knew that once we got back to our hotel, we wouldn't want to leave again…read more Better find something we could take back and hold in the fridge for when we got hungry later. We decided on Banh Mi's after I found Hello Banh Mi on Yelp. She got the Rainbow Sandwich and I ordered a Combo Ham Sandwich. She also ordered a Mango Slushy. The sandwiches were perfect. Great bread, crunchy veg, delicious fillings We got both in 12" that was enough for two meals. She enjoyed her Slushy. I did not try it. Service was friendly and we would definitely return if in the area. They also gave us a buy 10, get 1 free punch card which we gave to our friends who live locally.

A "pet project" by the Nordstrom family, I certainly approve…read more Simple, healthy, tasty, fair cost food in nice locations = 5 Stars. You would think this is Homegrown part 2, similar vibes, no change in decor really (Kirkland Location) but it looks like it was started by Lisa Nordstrom. Was always a fan of Homegrown, but glad that Sona has replaced them in this location because the meals are more "meals" instead of more for just breakfast or lunch bites. The beef steak hits, the rice, sauce, sweet potato, arugula. I could eat this 4 days a week. Chicken was good too, Salmon not bad. All seemingly thoughtfully cooked. Haven't tried the smoothies yet, can't wait. All the employees were very friendly and prompt. The line to order went quick, but the wait for food did not. I never mind waiting for good tasting food so its not an issue for me. Wish they would open past 4pm!!!!!!!

You have to come and get the steak burrito (with crispy potato!) and fluffy egg omelette. Looking…read morefor something filling and more refreshing? Can't miss with their Acai bowls! Side notes: the chicken sausage sandwich kind of tastes like pizza. Fun! Not into smoothies generally myself (esp at $14-16 a pop), but I've tried a couple and they have an interesting assortment chock full of good ingredients.

This burrito shop was a good find for us! We were looking for an alternative to running through…read moreTacoTime and yelped this place nearby. Thought it was going to be a taco truck but it's a small restaurant (no drive through). Super friendly and helpful staff. They kindly put together some tacos with refried beans subbed for the protein, even though it wasn't on their menu. We also had a bean/cheese burrito with some add-ons. Food was yummy. Great value and quick service. Appreciated their "excellent" rating. Note: the front parking lot is limited but there is reserved parking in the back lot.

Urban Coffee lounge has been a neighborhood staple for years and years. I'm obsessed with the fact…read morethat they make their own syrups, with the exception of a few. I absolutely love their specialty drinks like honey cardamom, and a shakerato. The vibe and atmosphere is wonderful. It's usually social and low-key but never too loud. They have excellent food, matcha with option to remove sugar (not all coffee shops have this!). Generally, I feel like their staff is really great! Love the location minus the issues with parking being tricky for a quick stop, sometimes need to pay. I keep coming back here! With gas prices over six dollars and budgets getting tighter for so many the one thing that hinders me is their prices. Their baseline drinks are an average of $5.75 + tip. Quiche slice is $8 two hard boiled eggs near $4. Typical typically if I'm gonna spend almost $10 I'd rather buy a fancy drink like a bubble tea or go out for an appetizer and food. When you own your own espresso machine and Matcha at home it's hard to justify getting such expensive drinks unless there is that "I can't make this at home" appeal - housemade syrups, Boba, etc I do love that urban coffee lounge has pour over options which can be time-consuming and cold brew, which is delicious and also more time-consuming. I appreciate their presence in the neighborhood. Having lived in Seattle for so long with so much access to incredible coffee I appreciate urban coffee lounges level of expertise with coffee. It is more rare on the east side. (Zoka is great of course!) And I will keep coming back, but sparingly due to prices. (Am I the only one who feels this way? Let me know!) Thanks for being here, urban coffee lounge!

There was a long line when I arrived around 10am on a Thursday. So if you're in a hurry either take…read moreadvantage of their online ordering or plan a head. They do have a restroom, plenty of seating outside, kinda limited seating inside. They do have a wide array of offerings. I got the spinach and feta quiche with a strawberry matcha. The spinach quiche was really good. I thoroughly enjoyed that. My strawberry matcha was not too sweet (I usually ask for everything half sweet and did not this time). The staff were friendly. Prices are reasonable for this day and age. I sat outside and enjoyed the sun! It's a great place to hang out, probably not great for groups unless you sit outside. Dogs are not allowed inside, so tie them up or have a buddy watch them while you go inside. Parking is street or under an apartment complex near by. Not sure if you pay or validate inside those apartment retail parking garages because I parked along the side streets. Park Mobile is the app you use to pay for parking. I paid about $4 ish for an hour. Overall, if I'm in the area and got the time to hangout, it's a cute place to do so.

I'm lactose intolerant so tend to steer towards the sorbets, but when I've had the proper gelatos they've been sublime! despite their being free of dairy or fat, they somehow manage to make the sorbets taste genuinely creamy! more than one friend I've brought here has said this spot is the equal of any gelato they had in Italy proper! Yes I've heard this more than once. The staff have always been pleasant and your kids will appreciate how generous they are with samples!

Sirena Gelato has been at the Park Lane address for as long as I can remember, which means decades…read more They were half its current size before expanding into the left half for more interior seats. Their business is BOOM or crickets depending on the weather... For the recent visit, we chose the two scoops of rose water and pandan. Both are truly excellent. Both have its discernable flavor in a good way. I highly recommend both flavors, which I suspect are rotating flavors. Service was friendly. I honestly think they have excellent gelato; by itself, it would have been five stars. I also honestly think their prices are hella expensive. $7.95 for one scoop. $8.95 for the two scoops stack on top of each other in the same small cup. Downtown Seattle gelato shop charges $5.95 and $7.95 respectively. They need to lower their prices.
