Maybe they want to limit the menu to just sandwiches? Either way, I'm a huge fan. As a sandwich lover (my friend in college said that if sandwiches caused cancer, I'd be dead already), I endorse these sandwiches, and the fries! Perfect bread, toasted just right, melty goodness, but not too much melty goodness, crispy crinkle fries, delivered straight to your door. If the order arrives a little late, I just pop that bad boy in the toaster over, and boom, you got yourself a perfectly toasted and warm meal.

I got here on a Friday around 5:20pm, thoughI'm not sure why I decided to drive so far off Seattle. As mentioned, there's only a few tables for seats spread around the corners of the inside, with a small fish tank and a grassy backdrop on the left-hand side of the wall. The menu is lined up on the right-hand side and features all of the items, though their matcha drinks menu is located above the front counter, along with their new items. Staff at the front take your order and bring your food to you when it's ready. For their food I got the following: - Banana pudding matcha: I couldn't tell this was ceremonial matcha till I put my straw farther down the drink past the thick banana pudding layer, and sipped in all those grassy, earthy tones matcha is known for. I got to eat some part of the banana pudding - which has cracker bits that are lighter in color than Biscoff crackers but tasted like them - before stirring a small part of it to finish off this awesome drink that could give places like Phe a run for their money. - Eden Garden special: this is a relatively simple banh mi sandwich with Vietnamese ham and slightly scrambled - and very hot - eggs along with the usual banh mi condiments like jalapenos and julienned carrots. I probably wanted even more protein in this despite the ham and eggs already being that; the banh mi felt like it was missing something. Bread isn't crispy by any means but it is served very warm, therefore it was really easy to chew. It oddly didn't make to much of a mess when I took big bites off it; most of the mess came from some of the condiments - especially the eggs - falling off. Overall I loved this place a lot with the matcha and banh mi I got here! It's quite out the way of Seattle but lately some interesting hidden gems with better taste profiles have not been in the heart of this state, like this place for instance. I hope this place can last for a long time, and I'll be back for their other items!

It's a pretty small cafe with limited amount of seating (approx 8 seats). They have an extensive drinks menu and a few Vietnamese dishes for food. We all ordered banh mi and I went for the classic cold cut version. Also added an order of their fish sauce wings - a must get! The sandwiches were great and came packed with both meat and veggies. The bread had a crunch but not enough to cut the inside of your mouth. Before we left, I ordered their coconut coffee smoothie with boba as my dessert. It was too watery for my liking as I was hoping for a more smoothie/slushy consistency.

Got a space easily in their small parking lot. Something about the vibe felt off as soon as walked in. It was very quiet and a couple were eating in but that was all. I don't know how to explain it but it's something I have felt before in other places, just not here. We ordered two grilled pork banh mi (they were out of grilled chicken) to go. The person that took our order was nice and the order didn't take long to get. We took the sandwiches home and ate them and they were okay, not as good as I remember them from before. Sorry, no pics this time. Still a decent buy at $10 each.

This Drumlin update is essentially transitional, jumping from Nov 2022 to Feb 2025 to July 2025…read more(7/20/25). I enjoy stopping by Shoreline's Ridgecrest neighborhood, because of the Crest theater, Ridgecrest Books, Cafe Aroma, and Drumlin. Drumlin is the sister restaurant to the adjacent Ridgecrest Pub which often hosts a wide variety of food trucks. I like how Ridgecrest overall has created a pleasant sense of community. Drumlin first came onto my radar screen because I heard about an Escoffier trained pastry chef working there from another Yelp Elite. I tried a few times to stop by, but the popular baked goods were always sold out. But I did end up having a tasty lunch which I wrote up in my previous review from 11/13/22. This pastry chef has since then moved on. Drumlin then returned onto my radar screen because I heard of about a revamp of their beverage and culinary program. I was able to spontaneously stop by, snag a two top and really enjoyed my first 2025 visit back on February 19th. I savored my spinach salad, casio e pepe risotto, and Running Up That Hill cocktail. It was a bit spendy since I had just started a new job. However, I appreciated the quality and its location close to home. It was nice to see positive write ups in Seattle Magazine and The Stranger, giving positive props to this Shoreline destination. Then I heard that Drumlin went into full cafe mode with daily business hours 7am to 1pm. Menu focuses on beverages, baked goods, and breakfast sandwiches/wraps for the time being. Interesting pivot, but not fully using their awesome multi-purpose space. They have outdoor seating, a full bar, a stage, many two tops against a banquette, street parking, and a dedicated private parking lot. Oh well, I'm sure there is a story behind that and why dinner service has been suspended. Anyways, subsequent visits happened all within a week on July 12th, 13th, and 20th. The first two visits were around 11 am, today's visit was at 745 am. The visits were all onsite for one hour, 90 minutes, and five hours, respectively. Absolutely chill vibe being onsite. Often the challenge visiting indie cafes, there's never enough seating, too crowded, the sea of laptops, ad naseum. I enjoy seeing solos, pairs, groups, and families stopping in whether to stay awhile or as takeout. I've enjoyed collectively to date: 3 - 16oz iced mochas, 1 chocolate chip cookie, one peach gingerbread cake slice, and two Morning Glory muffins. Today's muffin was especially awesome, still warm from the oven, love the overall moist crumb, and especially the pepitas for texture. This going to be a hard situation because I enjoy Cafe Aroma located diagonal from Drumlin, but I definitely favor the fresh onsite scratch pastries here. There's also some featured baked goods from Kaffeeklatch, located in Seattle's Lake City neighborhood. I've contributed two posts and 40 photos over five visits. Hopefully this provided a comprehensive view of my experience at Drumlin. I've been a Shoreline resident for over 23 years, I'm always rooting for hometown businesses to succeed as they evolve, remain vibrant, and viable.

The Frankel has coned beef, eggs, and cheese. I added the chive cream cheese and that was the perfect addition to my sandwich! Delicious. We also got an avocado, egg, and cheese which was a lot lighter than the Frankel.

This is one of a few restaurants I would suggest or bring anyone to for first timers of Vietnamese cuisine. The service is exceptional, we were seated very quickly and the staff is very friendly. As for ambience, the restaurant is very well maintained and home feel, the name of the cafe speaks true to how I would dine here. My only champion against this restaurant is how loud the music can be, albeit being loud refers to how lively/homey music is, which didn't bother us but it is something to note. But besides that, it didn't change how we feel of giving this restaurant a 5 star!
