I was walking by and was just going to stop in for a coffee, but it was lunchtime and there was a BLAT on the menu, which is always a draw for me. So I got it and I have to say, it might possibly be the best BLAT I've ever had. Definitely up there. Everything was exactly right--crispiness of bacon, beautiful fresh tomato, avocado & tasty greens (I think maybe some basil in there somewhere, not sure). Anyway, just really good. Will definitely go back next time I'm in Georgetown, might even have to make a special trip. Atmosphere was very soothing and peaceful as well (plants, airy space, various sitting options). read more

Great sandwich and coffee! A little bummed because we thought they served more breakfast and drinks (according to website) but they no longer offer the extended services. Loved the "store" section which had lots of cute and local items. read more

Brother Joe - B.L.A.T. Croissant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Location: Georgetown is a win! Food: YES Wait time: Give yourself at LEAST 2 hours (hour wait, hour eats) Drinks: a weekend Dream Space: Tight and Trendy Bathrooms: clean, and they have this super cute side table that I've been searching for online. If anyone knows where it's from LMK! Overall Experience: FOUR (the wait drops it down!) Recommendation: go before 10am or after 12:30, otherwise expect to wait 1hr +! Admittedly, I've been here upwards of 4 times in the new year- it's my recommended brunch spot especially for those of you looking for a boozier brunch! As everyone mentions- 3 drinks for $13 and the drinks are strong. My family/friends like to get creative and order the vodka for bloodies and put orange juice/mango in their cup (sorry if it's not allowed!). Food is good too- my guess is the high volume increases the wait time which gives you time to drink and catch up, a perk if you're not in a hurry. We've tried the biscuits and gravy, the brisket hash, fluffy cakes, the basic. I think my favorite would have to be the basic for the amount of different food you get, my beef-eating partner enjoyed the brisket hash. I'll be back once again to try something new and have more bloodies! read more

Love how cute this place is. The decor is so great: whimsical paintings of animals in human clothing, geometric designs, deep wood furniture, and bright open windows and doors. The menu is fun with lots of options like hash, eggs Benedict, yoghurt, and flappy cakes. And, on weekends they have a mimosa and Bloody Mary bar. We ordered the BJ Crab Cake Benedict, the Green Chilie Verde and a half order of the flappy cakes. The food took a very long time to arrive. 45 mins from the time of ordering. While I expect it to be busy during Saturday brunch time (11am) I didn't expect it to be that long. Once it arrived, food was good. The Green Chilie Verde was flavorful and the Benedict was good. Not great or exceptional but good. The best part was probably the mango mimosa and the coffees. Worth a try for sure! Just don't come here with a tight timeline. read more

Great coffee and innovative menu. Chilaquiles breakfast burrito, count me in. They also had a very nice selection of hard to find mezcal!!!

So the coffee and food here is very good. The espresso drinks are creative and tasty. Our group had the Eggs Benedict, Veggie Hash and the Chile Verde y Papas. Everything tasted good and full of flavor. The Chile Verde was a tad salty, but really good. My only issue with this place was the service. The service was SO SLOW. Coming in at the end of a rush, we were 1 of 3 tables that had just ordered. After we ordered, it took almost 30 minutes for us to get out food. We didn't even see our server and ran out of water and coffee. I may try this place again, but hope the service is a bit quicker. read more

Brother Joe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Cute spot with fun and well made drinks. My husband and I stopped by here on a lazy Saturday morning and picked up a holy mole mocha and a miso honey latte. The miso honey combination works so well! It was a sweet, salty, robust cup of goodness the mocha was smooth and well balanced with the spice and orange zest flavors shining through. Will be back to try more of the drinks and maybe we'll try out their breakfast the next time around as well. read more

Def made it into my Seattle brunch rotation that's not on the hill. The place has a cute waiting lounge and really interesting coffee options. New fav...the egg coffee! They also serve the impossible burger which is impossibly good! It lived up to the hype which says a lot because I've tried a lot of meat substitutes out there and their burger actually tastes like a burger. It is very flavorful and satisfies my burger craving. read more

I love the vibe of this cafe...the ambience, furniture and decor makes it comfortable and down to earth. This is a great addition to to the Georgetown area. I had the camden rose tea with brisket and potatoes and my friend had the California sandwich with cauliflower soup. All the dishes were good, my favorite was the tea. This place was a perfect lunch spot, parking can be challenging so I recommend coming during off peak hours. read more

Brother Joe is fantastic! Everything is just gobsmackingly delicious. They strike an excellent balance of belly-busting madness and "better for you" options that are really freaking good, like roasted veggies and quinoa, or the Buddha bowl (I always get it with ahi). Really good coffee and tea options too. If you're heading to Georgetown definitely check them out! read more

This place hasn't let us down once for quality and flavor of food. Always come here for brunch, but come early to get the chicken with hush puppies. But everything on the menu has been great! Favorite breakfast spot on the weekend Update: they just started dinner service recently. Finally got a chance to try it. We were the only ones in the restaurant and chatted it up with Marcus. Super cool dude. And of course, once again the food was on point! Side note, it was HH on drinks. read more

Amazing amazing! Mimosa bar-blueberry, mango and OJ. The basic breakfast is simple but delicious! The crab cakes Benedict's fantastic, biscuits and gravy awesome! What it comes down to is you can't go wrong. Even the waiting area is beautiful. Oh yeah the interior design is outstanding read more

Brother Joe - Pork Chile Verde Burrito - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Holy smokes this chili Verde burrito is one of the best I've ever had. I consider myself a breakfast burrito connoisseur and this is undeniably one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had. Located in the Cute hip neighborhood of Georgetown This little retail store/coffee shop can throw down on a breakfast burrito as well as local tease coffee's sides mixers and other gourmet snacks and items of gastronomic pleasure. Staff is helpful and fast. The lady who helped me today had some cool ink. All-around great experience. Several small seats outside to enjoy the morning sun. First time here but would highly recommend for a coffee tea and locally made snacks and sauces. Fun to just stop and even if you're not buying anything read more

This place can be really busy for weekend brunch. I tried twice. Once waited for 45 mins and still didn't get a table. The second time waited 15 minutes only. It's not very big sooo maybe try coming earlier in the morning. Favorite things about this place: decor, coffee! And overall friendliness of staff. I would totally come back to get coffee to go. The food we had was just ok. We had the brisket hash, which I wasn't expecting it to be brisket with a lot of bbq sauce. I imagined more of a dry rub. I didn't love it. Also had the fried chicken and hush puppies. While it was pretty good, the fried chicken was ground chicken meatball fried, not actually pieces of chicken fried. Was just looking forward to fried chicken that's all. read more

A coffee shop-general store hybrid that feels like it should focus on being one or the other. Their selection of hard-to-find culinary goods is vast and plentiful; I purchased a jar of local Thai curry that I had read about and seen on Instagram and was also tempted to buy many other beautiful and tasty things! However, the coffee and breakfast croissant I purchased were just mediocre. The latte, which was inspired by a horchata, was overwhelmingly sweet, and I couldn't even taste the caffeine. The breakfast croissant was a butter bomb...super greasy. I did appreciate that the egg inside was perfectly cooked (not too done but not too wet either). The person working was not very friendly and seemed eager to be alone once I left. read more

Love this Georgetown gem - my favorite place for a morning or afternoon pick me up!! Best baristas in town!

While I regret having missed their dine-in heyday, we enjoyed two of their tasty choices, the BLAT on a croissant and the chilaquiles. There's very little indoor seating but it was sunny where we ate at a table on the sidewalk. They use Herkheimer coffee for their espresso and have some of H's beans for sale, too. read more

Brother Joe - Chic upscale deli has replaced the former sit-down dining area. (Husband for scale.) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We had breakfast here this morning and had a fabulous experience. We dealt personally with the owner herself and she was very accommodating. Very sweet to my baby and personally recommended dishes to us. I am traveling with my very picky International parents, who have dined all over the world and they really enjoyed their food. It's located in a random area where you would never expect such a little gem to be located. We're glad we picked this place close to our Airbnb to start our morning read more

Brother Joe - Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Good coffee drinks if you want to experience something out of the norm (and also fine standard coffee offerings). Delicious pastries. Only knock is that it's a tad frigid in the winter. Other than that, they're good people. read more

Nice little place. A little bit of wait but they have a cozy waiting area. Prices are reasonable. A lot choices for coffee and about 3-4ish. I got a regular latte and my friend tried the oh miso honey. Food- I got the crab Benny and my friend got the kalua pork. The Benny was delicious. The pork could've been a bit more tender. Place felt understaff for a weekend. Maybe just the day we went. Food took a while to come out. I would still go back if I am in the area! read more

Came here for weekend brunch and it was fine, but I DO NOT recommend the mimosa/bloody mary bar. That thing is crawling with germs. Hygiene issues first, then food: While we were waiting for a table and while we ate, we saw multiple occasions where people walked up to the mimosa/bloody Mary table and grabbed fruit or pickled veggies or bacon with *bare hands.* Due to the lack of implements for picking things up, everyone seemed to think it was okay to spread germs, and the staff who were walking around said nothing. One woman would lick her fingers and then grab more stuff. At some point someone dropped the lid for the fruit juice on the floor, and they picked it up and recapped the juice. I've studied microbiology. The five second rule ain't a thing. As for the food, the brisket hash and the chili verde were fine. Nothing to write home about. There was absolutely no attempt at plating, and portions were small. I normally don't complain about portion sizes, but even I was surprised. That said, the food wasn't bad. I just don't think I'll ever come back. There are too many good brunch places in Seattle to come back here. read more

The food at this place is amazing and the coffee is masterful. If you haven't been, make the trip to G-Town. It will be well worth it. And if you have been, make another trip there and grab takeout! Just don't eat & drive or you might have to turn around and go back to order more! read more

This is not a good review. Strictly a review of service and experience. To ownership.... please update your hours to accurately reflect when customers are allowed to come as this type of misinformation does not benefit customers or the business. Looked at their website and it says open until 3pm. Also checked Yelp and google which both also said open until 3pm. Arrived a little after two.... - door was locked but people and staff inside. - We knock on door and the waitress finally acknowledged us with a look that clearly said we were bothering her. - She come to the door and said they are closed. I said website says 3pm. She says kitchen closes at 2pm. - we were not offered to come in and at the very least enjoy the cafe section envelopes though she said that was open until 3. - when we walked away two more customers tried to enter but same result. I will try again and hope the experience is better. read more

Great coffee and the menu looked good as well. Limited seating so we just grabbed coffee and ate down the way.

Fantastic food. Fair warning that space is extremely limited. One of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had. Croissant sandwiches were also amazing. Make sure to get the brother joe croissant. read more

There's a waiting area with a couple of couches that you can sip & sit in while waiting for your table. My friend got the oh miso honey and liked it but I got a special concoction per barista's suggestion and didn't like it at all. The decor is eccentric- filled with rhino heads and pics of animals dressed up. The BJ crab cake bene was to die for. I've never had a deep fried crab cake eggs bene! It was a nice surprise and added lots of flavor. The paired salad complimented the heartiness of the crab cake & potatoes well. The potatoes were slightly crispy but soft. read more

Great food and coffee. We used to visit the owners former restaurant Duos. We were excited to see a new spot open. The fluffy cakes were awesome, and I don't always love the sweet side of breakfast. They are almost as if a pancake, a moist muffin and cupcake had a child, all without being too sweet. A consistency that leans more airy than a traditional pancake. And the cream that is on it, wow. It's a cinnamon toast type cream-again not too sweet which is perfect. It's smooth a velvety. I wanted some just to put in my coffee or eat by the spoonful. Hush puppies were amazing. They reminded me of the corn dogs Duos used to do so well. The breading was perfectly crispy, not soggy. The sauce was a nice balance between sweet and salty. My only change would be the fried chicken. It is ground chicken formed into a round ball and fried, seemingly all dark meat. Personally I'm just not a big fan of ground chicken that's fried-- I'd prefer a chicken tender or something like that in its place. Great coffee although you have to check out the breakfast. read more

Boyfriend and I visited on a Sunday morning at around 11:15 am for some brunch. Luckily, there is also a cafe here so we tried the Egg Coffee and Oh Miso Honey latte while we waited. The egg and condensed milk foam on top was sweet, thick, and well done- reminiscent of real vietnamese egg coffees. However, the coffee on the bottom tasted watered down and acidic. My Oh Miso Honey latte was on the bland side- no real miso flavor for the intrepid who were hoping for something more salted and savory, and no real honey flavor. We were seated at a table by around 11:50 am and ordered within a few minutes, but the food didn't come to our table until close to 12:30 pm. A ridiculous wait time, one echoed by all the tables around us. The food was the saving grace of our experience here. My brisket hash was lovely- tender, melting pieces of brisket offset by crispy potatoes and deep flavor. The boyfriend polished off his chili verde in about 2 minutes and pronounced it similarly excellent. We chose this place for their location outside of seattle, figuring we'd save some time from the brunch rush. We would've done better at a busier restaurant which would likely have been more efficient. The hostess was harried and about two shades away from unfriendly. Staff set the mood for the restaurant-- they clearly need more waitstaff here. Our efficient, smiling and bustling waitress with a buzz cut and glasses was the one bright spot here, and the tiny restaurant likely needed 2 more of her to help manage the crowd, seat people, take food, etc. They seemed incredibly frazzled and disorganized the day we visited. Maybe we got them on a bad day? read more

TL;DR: Took an hour to get food after a 45 minute table wait. Food was mediocre and wait staff never apologized for the delay. This place needs to get their service flow together. Put my name down at 12:30 and came back at 1:15 because I was told it would be a 45 minute way. Upon check in, the hostess told us to wait in their lounge. Few minutes later, I get a call from the same hostess asking where I was and saying "I've been calling your name". Well, we were right where you told us to be - in the waiting lounge. The hostess realized her mistake and told us to wait some more because, despite the phone call, our table still wasn't ready. Fine, not a big deal, mistakes happen. What I cannot accept is nearly an hour long wait for food. We sat down at 1:20ish and food finally arrived at 2:10. When I asked the waitress about our food, she 1) never apologized and 2) said they were short staffed and that "everyone came at once". By the time our food finally arrived, the restaurant pretty much cleared out. Food wise, everything was mediocre. -The veggie hash were pretty small plates and unfulfilling. -The grilled cheese ratio was way off and too bready; the cheese layer was too thin relative to the thick bread. -The fluffy cakes, although pretty, was crumbly and not soft. -The chili verde was missing sauce; chili verde should usually come with a nice heaping green chili and this plate was lacking. It is noteworthy that the wait staff was quick to give us our bill while we were still eating... that was the only thing they were timely on. What a disappointment, I don't know how this place has such high reviews. read more

Spectacular cafe with great service. One thing made me reduce my review by one star: The young female greeter, after showing 2 couples in front of me to their seats, walked up to me and said "can I help you?"...and I was like: "I'd like to dine here for breakfast", with a quizzical look on my face because she didn't say that to them or to any other people that came after me. Can you guess what race I am? Yeah. This was last Sunday, July 7. I should've approached her about it when I was leaving but the breakfast was so good, I was too happy to spoil my mood. My recommendation? Get the Tofu Scramble. Bommmmb. read more

I had been to Georgetown once back in March and had ate at another restaurant! I wanted to head back to the area but try something new. Found this place through this app and it looked great. My boyfriend and I went in around 10 am a couple of days ago and were promptly greeted by a woman behind the coffee bar and were seated right away. Our server then came and we ordered two cappuccinos and those alone were delicious. She also gave us recommendations from the menu and she sold me on the Kalua Pork dish! It originally came with rice but I was told that they had ran out after placing the order and I went with potatoes instead which was honestly tasted amazing with the meat (in case you were wanting to try a substitute). Our server was so chill and had great service and checked up on us periodically! My bf ordered the basic! Both meals were great portion sizes for a good price! We even said we wanted to come back to order some coffee and chill in the little lounge area. Great find! read more

Brother Joe - Kalua Pork! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I had a really good coffee here, the atmosphere is trendy, and my server was nice but the hostess/barista made me uncomfortable so I will not be returning. She asked me if I'd like to sit down at a table or if I was ordering to go, since I wanted to sit down I asked for a table. My server then came and took my drink order and brought me my beverage. Immediately after my drink was brought out the hostess/barista came up to me and said I should have told her I only wanted a drink so I didn't have to waste the servers energy or effort on only a drink order and to order from the bar next time. She made me feel uncomfortable and like I did something wrong when she lead me to that situation then blamed me for the outcome?? read more

I stop here every couple mornings for a latte, and it's always great. I think they use Herkimer coffee, which is always a good roast. I don't eat breakfast often, but I was hungry and decided to grab a bite along with my coffee. I chose the Kalua Pork loco moco. Man was it good! I'm a Loco moco fan anyway, but the pork put it over the top. I never been for the brunch so I can't comment, but will be trying it soon. read more

Good, hip breakfast spot in Georgetown. Overall a decent place with some glaring gaps that disrupt a generally good meal. Pros: good decor and vibe, good music tracks. Solid coffee roast, well executed if under seasoned dishes. Good use of a small space. Has a mimosa/Bloody Mary bar on weekends Cons: noise levels are high, but not unbearable. One of the keys to a self-serve bar is the trade off - we'll do the labor, but you gotta keep it clean and well stocked, not ignored. Biscuits are disappointing, showing signs of overworked and hot worked dough. A side note: certain dishes are really known for a technique or texture; if I call something a 'risotto' you would expect a short grain rice cooked to release starch in a creamy sauce. If something is called a 'cassoulet' you expect it to have beans and some sort of sausage in it. Serving a "Loco Moco" with no gravy whatsoever causes one to question whether anyone in the enterprise has ever seen an actual Hawaiian Loco Moco in real life. Do yourself a favor and order a side of their sausage gravy and pour it over the dish, with liberal black pepper. Aside from the food and bar issues, the servers all gave off the vibe like they were coming off a hell of a night and couldn't be bothered with customers today, so go on a Saturday morning, not a Sunday. Also, I'm going to introduce a new rating beyond the Yelp star system which is the "Recession Survival Index, which predicts on a scale of 1 (first against the wall) to 10 (Economic fortress) how likely a place is to survive a significant downturn. This place scores a 4. read more

What a delicious and quirky place! Great coffee drinks. My group of three all got the veggie scramble with tofu (one person was vegan, one person gluten intolerant) and we all loved it. I do think it the dressing or vinegar or whatever sauce was a bit intense. And of course the interior is lovely. Surprisingly not busy late Saturday morning. Customer service was very good. read more

Pleasantly surprised by this new breakfast find located on Airport way in Georgetown. Decor is somewhat whimsical. There's an attachment to Rhino's you'll see the reference as you look around the cafe. Ordered the basic breakfast which came with egg, bacon, sausage, potatoes and biscuit square. Presentation of food A+. Taste A+. Serves Herkimer coffee, local roaster. Menu prices average for breakfast. Great folks. A must stop if you're interested in breakfast or you just want to have coffee in a cool place. read more

Brother Joe - Two sausages and bacon, baked country potatoes, egg over medium, biscuit square, jam, ketchup - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Absolutely love their delicious gourmet sandwiches!!! And recently I started shopping for some delicious items as wel!great service!!!

This place is definitely more about being trendy and cool than it is a restaurant. The wait is long and not worth it. The food and coffee is good but overpriced. It was really warm in the restaurant. It was sunny out but it wasn't blistering, it just felt like there was no air ventilation whatsoever. I came in for just coffee one time and I asked for oat milk, but the girl gave me soy. It's not a big deal, it was still drinkable, but for a $5 coffee, I'd like what I actually ordered please. I had already driven away and I didnt want to go back. When I went in another time for coffee I mentioned what had happened to the barista/manager and she just gave me a look that was like "so what." And she said to me "well I don't remember doing that so I hope that makes you feel better". The whole thing just rubbed me the wrong way and I won't be going back. read more
