Really wonderful service. Great lunch spot. I had BLTA and husband had TBAS, both were delicious and perfect portions.

On most days lately I've been eating a non-meat diet. The last time I came to the Blue Heron, however, I had a mad craving for a breakfast sandwich. English muffin, sausage, and cheese. Usually not things I'd eat... but, that day they were just the thing. The staff was nice and they grilled up the sausage patty right after I made my order. (THANK YOU! I am not a microwave fan.) There is a $5 minimum for paying with plastic, which I ended up being able to easily meet when I found tomato juice in their drink fridge. (This made me happy! Most places have V8 and not Tomato and I dislike V8, love Tomato....) I rarely crave their offerings and a co-worker of mine has had a bad experience involving a mix-up on his order, but my experience so far has been good. Guess I'm going back next time I have an un-ignorable craving for a b-fast sandwich and tomato juice before work? read more

What it is: Cute, family run American style diner/cafe with a small menu (cold cut and simple hot sandwiches, simple breakfast sandwich options 6-11 am, homemade soup) served with warm service in a casual atmosphere. What it is not: hipster, foodie, fancy, chic, anything other than a friendly hit-the-spot kind of spot. - Drive through coffee window - $8 for a 6 inch, $12 for a 12 inch - A few parking spots out front and some street parking - Daily half sandwich special with cup of soup for $8 read more

Blue Heron - Sandwiches Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is place was unexpectedly amazing! The soup and sandwiches were delicious! Highly recommend this little gem.

Good sandwiches, pretty basic options.. I prefer a French roll over the softer hoagie variety they offer. BLTA is good, French dip needs stronger Aus jus. read more

This place is awesome. I drove up to the drive through preparing to wait for the client in front. A friendly lady came out and took my order. In a very short time I had a GREAT lunch and was on my way. read more

YES YES YES A class act. Run by people who want every customer to be glad they came. Best tuna sandwich I think I've ever had. Full selection of hot and cold beverages, which is hard to find in any 1 place. Quick service. Think you know a good sandwich when you eat one? This place may stretch your definition of one. read more

If you're in the mood for some amazing sandwiches, breakfast or lunch this place is awesome! Totally awesome Philly cheesesteak and the power breakfast special is yummy, fast and friendly service good prices. read more

Family owned and fantastic. I ordered the veggie Sandwich. It was very good.

Unpretentious and eclectic cafe located night between Magnolia and Ballard . And they were quickly around here so you can easily grab one to go and still make it to your meeting on time. Coffee is fresh and hot. The woman in charge here is working her butt off managing the drive-through with grace and taking care of inside customers as well all with a smile. I decided to take the time to eat here and enjoy the breakfast. They have a nice stream of customers coming through that all seem to be happy to be here. And made us drinks for the drive-through and for here. They don't make everything, by what they do cook sure does taste good! I keep coming back. Maybe I'll see you here. read more

I learned a new Yiddish word recently: Haimish. Haimish is a comfortable, warm, welcoming place. The Blue Heron is haimish. With its mismatched furniture and dishes, its friendly Korean owners, the chess board by the window with 2 armchairs, a long couch for chilling and large round tables for projects and studying, this is a great place. The espresso is the same quality one gets in a midwest Starbucks - it'll do in a bind. The food is good, and made upon ordering. The egg and cheese muffin for breakfast is excellent. In addition to the lovely indoor seating, there is a deck with outdoor seating as well. It's a very well-considered space, ideal for meeting with friends or holing up to study for a few hours. read more

Best sandwiches in Seattle hands down! They are doing a great job keeping the store safe and clean with their COVID protocols while still offering the best food and service possible. The owners are so friendly and really make you feel like family the second you walk in. Cannot recommend The Blue Heron enough. If you need a good coffee and sandwich make sure to check it out! read more

I live in Magnolia and this place is just a few blocks from where I live. This is small corner sandwich shop and cafe, with a wide range of sandwiches. The two ladies who work here are super friendly and warm to customers. Good place to grab a quick breakfast or lunch. read more

Great sandwiches! My family and I recently picked up 5 sandwiches and loved every single one of them. Great bread, fresh ingredients and all around good flavors. I got the chicken Philly cheesesteak and I will definitely re order again! read more

Absolutely delicious! We had the bada bing and the Friday lunch special with clam chowder. Everything was fantastic and the service was great! read more

This is our go to neighborhood spot. We often get breakfast sandwiches, coffees and lunch from here. It's easy to call ahead and pick up. Or even eat in. read more

This place has that "yum, it tastes pretty good" sandwich. My family and I tried their pastrami Reuben, chicken teriyaki, and tuna melt. All were pretty good. I give it 3 stars since the good didn't blow me away (you could say I'm a tough critic) and the ambiance was standard. The owners are very hard working and friendly. read more

First time customers- My husband and I had a little to-go lunch date from here and it was so good! Friendly staff and quick sandwiches. Why have I not stopped here sooner? read more

So good! My mom sometimes brings these sandwiches home and they're absolutely delicious. My favorite so far has been the tuna melt. Generous amounts of tuna and veggies, served on cheesy and buttery bread. read more

Great coffee, great food and incredible service! They are so friendly and always remember you. They've given extra treats to our dog on many occasions. They always go out of their way to talk to you and make sure you are taken care of. So sweet! And we have loved every sandwich we've had, breakfast and lunch!! read more

It's been a place I pass quite a bit and thank goodness I stopped in! The sandwiches are Delicious! I got the power breakfast sandwich without Turkey (vegetarian) and put the hash brown INSIDE, wow. My girlfriend got a croissant sausage breakfast sandwich! The owners and staff are so nice and you can tell they love what they do. It has a drive thru and dining area inside. Such a relaxed vibe inside. Been twice and already one of my top Seattle breakfast places! Can't wait to try the hot and cool sandwiches next. read more

Super friendly family ran business with great breakfast and lunch options. Always fast and very reasonably priced. During COVID I have been calling in my order and walking up to the drive thru window to pick up my order. Slick and easy. read more

I simply have NO idea what all these people are raving about...either they're extremely high or have highly defective taste buds. Several reviews claim that the Bada Bing is to die for, so that was my first choice. It tasted like those disgusting frozen microwavable turkey phillies...tasteless turkey, highly processed veggies, mass produced generic hoagies and extruder-formed American "cheese". Not only was I not impressed, but this was honestly one of the worst hot sandwiches I've EVER had. But I did want to at least give them a second shot so I went back, tried the TBAS...same nasty turkey, prepackaged avocado spread...simply terrible. They also always have Jesus music on the radio...annoying as hell; pun intended. The one and only thing this place has going for it is the very friendly family who runs it, but that's not incentive enough for me to go back a third time and leave with another belly-full of regret. Caveat: MAYBE the breakfast sandwiches are better (I haven't tried those) but I'm really not up to going back and eating anything else that tastes like what I've had here in the past. If you want a good hot sandwich, drive 5 minutes to Other Coast in Ballard, pay a couple bucks more, and be totally satisfied that you did. read more

Today was a sad day when I moved out of Magnolia and away from my favorite deli. Multiple times a week as I was leaving home I'd call into Blue Heron and order a sandwich to pick up on my way to the office. Every time I walked through the door I was warmly greeted and handed a delicious made-to-order breakfast sandwich. So many sandwiches were eaten and I never tired of them. Here are my two favorites combos: - bagel, butter, fried egg, ham, provolone and sriracha. - croissant, fried egg, cream cheese, bacon, onion Lunches are also delicious. Of course the bada-bing is excellent, but the hot ham and cheddar on sourdough is freakishly good considering its simplicity. I have loved supporting this small business over the years and I wholeheartedly endorse it! read more

Here is the definition of a perfect day. Hiking at Discovery Park with a good friend. Lunch at Blue Heron. If you're smart you'll order the portabella burger or Veggie and smother it in rooster sauce. Then you'll slowly drink espresso/soda/tea while playing chess/reading the stranger in the cozy window chairs. The End. read more

The sausage and egg breakfast croissant is crack in sandwich form. So bad for you, but so good! The only other thing I've had from this restaurant is a french dip, which was OK, but a little too small and expensive. I will keep going back for the crack sandwiches! read more

I love the blue heron, I go there three times a week. The service is really good, the sandwich is really good, I love their teriyaki sandwich, I order it every time. This is a really good place for relax and have a sandwich for a busy day. read more

The name is cute! I love the idea of this place, and the location. Several people I know frequent it. It is very close to home, in a residential neighborhood, which is lovely to see. I have a tough time with harsh smells or chemicals (think hives) and every time I've been in over the course of the last five years it smells very strongly like cleaner. I was sad to visit recently with a friend (who happened to be pregnant) and we needed to leave, both because it smelled strongly like cleaner and they were not serving espresso that day. Perhaps they can switch to deep cleaning the place at night, and also use less harsh products. read more

I need to update my review, they are awesome. I just was being a grumpy bih the last time(if you look up hangry in the dictionary, a picture of me is there). Moving on shall we. Come by, awesome folks! Great sandwiches! Affordable prices! read more

The nicest service, spatious (enough) dining area, and the chicken philly cheesesteak is amazing! Lunchtime is busy but they're efficient and the food has never dissapointed. The building just got a face-lift so it's hard to miss -- big lime green flat panel siding... who knows what that's about... read more

I love a good breakfast sandwich and their sausage egg and cheese on croissant is absolutely mind bending. Made fresh to order. The staff is super friendly. Encourage all to stop by and support this local cafe. read more

I love the Blue Heron. My husband and I have been going to the Blue Heron for years, and I've never written a review. Specifically, we like the breakfast and deli sandwiches. The espresso is good too. The service is great and the ambiance is laid back. This is a great spot to meet a friend for breakfast, lunch, or coffee. Love it! read more

This is my second most favorite spot to grab breakfast. I really appreciate that the service is friendly, timely, and that the sandwich is made to order. I usually order a bagel or croissant breakfast sandwich with egg, bacon, and a sausage patty. It's always perfect, warm, and extremely filling and I'm set for the morning. Other than the food, the staff is so nice and I love how comfy the atmosphere is. The service is welcoming and they always seem to be familiar with their customers. It has a nice, neighborly feel whether or not you're going through the drive-thru or eating in the cafe. Today I just tried the lunch menu for the first time and had the Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato, and Avocado sandwich on light rye. It was amazing. The ingredients were in perfect proportion and it tasted fresh. I love coming here and will continue to come here for as long as I am in the neighborhood. read more

I can't begin to describe the deliciousness that is the Badda-Bing... Oh... My... SO good. If I can ever tear myself away from it I will try the Portabello because I've heard great things. Don't bother withe the french dip or the cheesesteak as the meat they use for them is the same and sub-par (kinda dry and too thinly sliced). Sometime in early 2008 they got a new menu and jacked up their prices. I think spending $12 for almost any sandwich is rediculous. So I go less these days, but sometimes I just can't resist the pull of the Badda-Bing. Oh and their breakfast sandwiches are great too, but again, at $7-8 (for a combo) a LITTLE pricey to be an every-day kinda thing. Sorry to gripe so much about the price. The food is SO worth checking out! read more

The Blue Heron is THE place if you want to get an awesome breakfast sandwich. I have only been in with people to enjoy one of their delicious croissant egg and cheese sandwiches, but that really is all I care about- because they are so so good. You also have the convenience of a coffee shop and a wide selection of drinks inside the store. Great atmosphere, nice seating, no downsides. The staff are a very cute couple who are extremely nice too. read more

Go here. The BLT has a generous amount of both perfectly crispy bacon and wonderful mashed avocado. The Korean BBQ sandwich is outstanding as well. The customer service is wonderful. Worth a trip! read more

Great customer service, fast, and always good! I love the lunch specials. My husband and I usually grab lunch once a week. The delicious sandwich paired with the warm filling soup always hits the spot. read more

I love this place. The people are so nice and the food is amazing. I often stop by for a breakfast bagel. The best one on the west side of Seattle! CDS read more
