And the award for trendiest little coffee shop in Seattle goes to... The Pacha Collective!…read more It wouldn't have won if it was simply Pacha, but being a Collective gives you major props in the Seattle cafe scene. In all seriousness, North Seattle has been lacking in the "cool cafe" department. You know, the one you go into and you feel like it's a place that you'd actually want to hang out. Not just grab a coffee and split. One that will put you in a position where you can't decide if it's time for a coffee or a beer. That's Pacha. The vibes are immaculate here, and every time I come there seems to be more and more energy. I walked in on a Friday afternoon and they had a huge projector playing a World Cup match. The local matcha drinkers were going wild as Egypt cruised along to a victory. My Americano was fantastic, which is table stakes for a Seattle cafe. But the folks taking the order and making the drinks were full of energy and cracking jokes, love to see people enjoying their work. The breakfast burrito was surprisingly good for a cafe, and came with a beautiful aioli. You could tell that they take their burrito-craft very seriously. A thoroughly grilled, well-tucked burrito was an excellent complement to my coffee.

The breakfast sandwich is just delicious especially if you can get it on the sweet bread (can't remember the name), and they have hojicha lattes which can be hard to find/do well! I would recommend going on a weekday, as the line does get crazy on weekends. But yeah it's worth it

Good company aside, we're here for the food... My first sample of banana milk - most delicious in a Mocha (chocolate-covered banana, anyone?!). Like dessert in a cup! More new new - enter the PLT: (Think BLT, but with thick-griddled porchetta) - snappy fresh arugula, roasted tomato, tangy yuzo kosho mayo on a spongy sesame focaccia - YUM! A big bite: The Breakfast Sando with marinated shiitake mushrooms - fluffy-as-clouds golden eggs atop TX-sized toasty bread with CHZ & YUM YUM sauce! It is!!! I'm loving this new idea of "yoshoku" (when Western food ideas are interpreted through a Japanese lens) - comfort food, reimagined. We had Fran's for dessert, but the sweets look similarly supreme! Indoor seating is light & bright, but there's plenty of space outdoors to entertain kiddos & doggos alike.

Whew, I don't know if my expectations were just set to high based on the videos and feedback from…read morefrom others but I was disappointed. My meal was decent. But definitely nothing that wowed me. My friend and I split the Biscuit and Miso Chasu gravy. It was alright. The biscuit was tender and the gravy was definitely a balance of savory and sweet. I didn't hate it but I didn't go oh my gawd this is the best thing ever. The Japanese American breakfast was mid. The Canadian bacon is a nice thick chunk of meat but it was so salty. The teriyaki glaze on the ham was just about of salt for me. However, paired with the shokupan and jam it made sense. The sweetness was a much needed contrast to the saltiness of the Canadian bacon. The Tamagotchi omelet was nicely done. It delivered on what it should have. I don't know, I just was not wowed by this place and really don't see myself coming back. I will say the absolute saving grace to my meal was the peanut shoyu ice box pie. That pie was delicious. If only my entire meal delivered the same way that slice of pie did. I visited on a Sunday morning around 930 and while busy, we were seated pretty quickly. I found it awkward when we were asked how we could helped. Um... I'm here to eat. Table for two pls? You can enjoy good conversation. Although if you're like me and a little hard of hearing it may be a little loud through the chatter of others.

Such a cute spot off Yessler…read more I came here to work remote on the day of my flight and I am pleasantly surprised by my experience. The interior is very spacious with high ceilings and gorgeous traditional latin decor. The staff were also very kind and friendly adding to the cozy and comfortable atmosphere. I got their pomegranate foam matcha and it was so good. The pomegranate foam had a very subtle sweetness and the matcha tasted fresh and high quality. The space is very well kept and clean and the tall windows gave a lot of natural light making the space feel that much more comfortable. The surrounding apartments are very lucky to have a spot like this as if I lived there, I'd probably be coming every day to try every single one of their drinks.

This place has so much unrealized potential…read more They just do coffee, barely. The space has been designed to be so inviting but the service wasn't a win and the options weren't a win either. I wanted something more to go with my coffee but nothing did it for me. They have breakfast melts, I have no idea what that is or what it looks like so I passed. No bakery items and three austere looking bagels. Service was lacking. I think one person was new so it's ok but I just wanted to have this be cool and unique and make me fall in love but it didn't. I did enjoy the outside seating and my Americano was ok.

Street parking is your only option so that's worth noting if you're planing on coming in during a busy time of day/week. Our sever was very friendly and helpful. The drink I ordered was off the menu but she managed to make it work. When I was having trouble deciding which menu item to order she made a good recommendation to modify one so I could have exactly what I wanted. Food came out quickly and tasted great! This is definitely a great option to add to your list of solid brunch places in the area.

We've lived here for years and I cannot believe it took us this long to try Cardoon. What a GEM!!!…read more The interior is cozy, fun, and relaxed. It's definitely one of those places that immediately makes you want to settle in and stay awhile (and we had no power so, we certainly did!). Everything we ordered was delicious, and the drinks were super unique and incredibly smooth. But I NEED to talk about the rose cookie. I have literally been dreaming about it. No exaggeration. It was that good. Perfectly delicate, fragrant, and memorable in a way that makes you immediately want another one. The service was lovely, the atmosphere was great, and the food and drinks were outstanding. Truly such an incredible spot and I'm already looking forward to going back. There was also a special Makeworth espresso shot that tasted like watermelon SO unique, do try it if you're into adventurous espresso!

Both were ready pretty quickly. The chai was spicy and not too sweet which I really liked. The egg sandwich was yummy too. Thick egg filling, with the chili sauce went well together. Pickles were a little too salty for me especially just to eat on the side. I guess you could put it inside the sandwich? But still, quite salty. Service was super friendly and welcoming, would definitely come again to try more of their seasonal drinks and food. A cocktail here sounds interesting as well!
