Cafe Opla was a pleasant surprise for me! For a restaurant by the pier, I thought it might be overhyped, but the food and drinks were really good! I love the twist on a classic Vietnamese dish and how they offer different types of oplas inspired by different countries. We also got their Vietnamese inspired drink flight and it was a true hit. Every drink was so unique and not like any other Vietnamese inspired drink I've had before. They were all good and I'd definitely get it again. The restaurant was surprisingly smaller than I expected, as it's located as a cafe within the entrance of the building, but they do have some outdoor seating. Since it's also a location right on the pier, it gets pretty busy with a line almost out the door, but the line moves pretty quickly and they do their best to serve the food as quick as possible. Tables are first come first serve, so be on the lookout once you arrive! The prices are a tad on the pricier side, but I expected that given it's in a touristy area. If you're looking for a nice meal while exploring the pier, would definitely recommend giving cafe opla a try!

While in Seattle we went here for lunch the day before our Alaskan Cruise. Its conveniently located right outside the front enterance of the Marriott Hotel we stayed at. I had Bahn Mi sandwich. It was very good. Good place to go for a quick bite.

The entire time I was in the restaurant I had to remind myself we were by the waterfront which is why everything was so expensive... but for the very high prices I was expecting something a little more than what I received. The flavors in the opla are good. My group got the Philippines and Vietnam opla to share. I think you can't really go wrong with longanisa and tocino with fried eggs and a baguette. The meatball, pate, and lemongrass pork in the Vietnam were flavored really well. Wish both had more sauce to dip with and a bigger baguette. The baguette that came with the opla was so small we had to order more. The $25 price tag was very steep to me, considering the dish itself. I have had a lot better skillet dishes in other places that were cheaper. We also got the pho fries to share. It was $17 and the portion was tiny. The only thing that made it "pho" was the meatballs and the hoisin sauce they put on top. There was something about it overall that I did not really enjoy, but my boyfriend thought it was fine. I like that they had different kinds of opla but being so expensive, I don't think it's worth. Maybe if you're in the area but there's better Vietnamese food in Seattle.

We flew into Seattle today. When our hotel room wasn't ready we walked across the street, actually across the parking lot, to Cafe Opla for lunch. I knew immediately that I wanted a Bahn Mi sandwich. 0rder at the counter & they then bring the food to your table. The sandwich was so good! The bread was toasted perfectly. The chicken was tender & plentiful, and the toppings were fresh. It was a nice size which I wasn't able to finish. Snack for later tonight. The restaurant is small so I see where it could get crowded at times, though not on our visit. Service was friendly & fairly quick. Good start to our overnight stay in Seattle. 2025-30

Went here on Saturday for a brunch. The parking was a bit tricky bc I parked in the public parking and walked down along the pier. I ordered Vietnamese Opla with Xiu Mai, my bf ordered Gochujang Breakfast Sandwich. I liked mine but wish the meatball had a bit more seasonings and a bit more sauce to dip the bread to. My bf loved his, he claimed it was "best sandwich he has ever had" We will come back for sure :)

Drinks came out pretty quickly. Food takes a bit longer of a wait time. 10-20 minutes ish. The place is pretty quiet, especially for a late monday morning. Food is very good. It sticks pretty close to traditional flavors and seasonings for the meat. Side veggies are nice for a refreshing brunch.

In a touristy area near cruise ship boarding. Got a tea, it was alright. Service was as quick as it could be, but it was pretty crowded. Only recommend if you need a quick drink before boarding a cruise at Pier 66.

I'm giving this place bonus points for creative dishes. I really like the concept of these fusion skillets, but the food itself is nothing too crazy. My friend and I shared the Tofu Skillet and the Tofu Bahn Mi. My other friends shared the Vietnam Skillet and a Pork Bahn Mi. Everything still tasted good, but I have defiantly had better Bahn Mi before. There wasn't much flavor to the lemongrass tofu, but the texture was really good. The vibes inside were simple and cozy. It's good for a quick bite/catch up. They were also very quick to bring out our food and drinks. I ordered a warm matcha which was very good. My friends ordered a coffee with a sweet egg cream on top which was delicious. I would come back for the drinks.

The skillet was good! I appreciated that it could be made vegan too upon request. The drinks however are very very limited if you have a dairy allergy. My partner enjoyed his sandwich and drink. The service was ok. This spot is in kind of an unexpected little area but is near the cruise terminal and waterfront.

Vy N.

The Vietnamese opla was okay, toppings were abundant! But the tofu skillet was too dry - needed more sauce for dipping! The egg coffee was sweet, so beware coffee purists! Service was so-so, needs improvement. My avocado opla was unavailable, and they offered no alternatives until I checked the menu again - all while standing 1st in line and kept other people waiting. One egg coffee arrived late when we were almost finished.

This place was one of our first searches for breakfast food and I see why! Fyi, this place is poppin' so expect a long line/long wait! This place is right across from the Cruise port, so all the people from the cruise came to this spot! Despite the hustlin' and busyness, customer service was great! I got the Viet bowl and Viet coffee. Love the coffee! Bowl was average. I recommend if you have not tried this place already.

I live about an hour from downtown Seattle and was meeting friends at a different popular well known Asian breakfast spot. We thought 10am would be early enough at the original spot, show up to about 20 people ahead of us and after 20 minutes of waiting (and hungry at this point) with no movement we settled on trying Cafe Opla (we wanted to go somewhere with unique brunch dishes, not your average, pancake, bacon, eggs place). We got there around 11am on a Sunday with only 2 other parties in the restaurant. This restaurant is casual, walk up counter to order and then food is brought to table. The menu is quite extensive, with their signature dish was the Oplas "Modern twist on Vietnamese breakfast" which is breakfast in a skillet. I was sharing /splitting with my friend and settled on the Hawaiian Opla and Gochujang Honey Breakfast Sandwich. The Hawaii Opla (spam, pulled pork, cucumbers, mac salad and rice) was delish, although it looked bigger in pictures. The skillet is probably 7 inches in diameter. The Gochujang sandwich was alright, it was honey forward and I couldn't really taste the Gochujang sauce. I also ordered the Iced Ube Vietnamese coffee, but other friend got this warmed and it looked a lot prettier with the design on top. I did find it a little pricey, but hey eating out is expensive these days. If you're in area looking for someplace quick, easy, yummy, unique dishes then I would recommend Cafe Opla.

We could not get reservations for breakfast at our hotel so my wife and I did a quick search and we found Café Opla. It was absolutely phenomenal and we got there right before the rush. My wife and I shared the Philippine Opla; the sausages and pickled vegetables went very well with the perfectly cooked eggs. The café is small and next to the Marriott. It is right across from the cruise ship port.

Never disappointed when I come here. I've had the Vietnam, Korea, and Philippines Opla. All were yummy. My favorite is the Vietnam because the meatball is full of flavor and juicy! Fried egg is cooked perfectly, crispy and partly runny. The concept & the location is a bright idea. Various country flavors located inside the World Trade Center, genius. Service is fast (not fast food fast) with just enough check ins on how the food is and water. Linda is a wonderful host! She's also one of the owners and you can tell right away she cares about all her customers. She's a sweetheart! Clean establishment! They have an "excellent" rating for the inspection posted on the window. They have Stumptown coffee, tried the latte and that was yummy. Also had their viet ice coffee, strong and delicious, just how it's supposed to be. Price: given that they are on the pier, the pricing is very fair. Tip: spend the 50 cents on the pate! I like to spread it on my baguette. Yum! read more

Really cool find! Opla from all over the world, so had to try the Korean Opla. I don't eat meat so I had the Korean bbq on the side (for the boyfriend) and rice on the side. Do not under estimate this meal. The size may look small but very filling. Location was inside an international building, but it was not busy on a Friday morning. Service was great too! read more

We were a bit skeptical considering it had only 3 reviews but the pictures looked amazing. And I must say that the food didn't disappoint. We order Korean Opla and it tasted as good as it looked. The big surprise was the tofu and the wonderful freshly baked bread that came with it. The portion size was a tiny bit smaller than normal, and we felt that the menu should have the option of "hash brown" as a side dish. One would expect a bit more of crabs from a brunch dish. read more

Cafe Opla is easily a go-to place for brunch! Food: I was very pleased with such a great meal served here. It is a great place to come to if you want variety and a hearty breakfast/brunch. They are known for their oplas which consists of meat + veggies, and 2 sunny side eggs served on a hot skillet. They have variations of the meat/veggies that reflect different regions such as Vietnam, Philippines, Korea, Hawaii, and America. I ordered the Opla Vietnam, which features meatballs, grilled pork, and pickled vegetables, and the Opla Philippines which features meatballs, longanisa sausage, and tomatoes with fried garlic. Both tasted really good and the portions were worth the price of about $10 each. The Asian in us ordered both with rice, but the owner recommended their baguette because it's really good. So of course we had to try it and we're glad we did! The bread is the perfect texture. The pate that is served on the side compliments it so well and it is by far the best pate I've ever had. Service: The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food came out quickly. Location: It is located on the ground floor of the Seattle Trade Center, right across from the Waterfront and the Marriott. There is paid street parking available nearby, as well as paid lots if you plan on visiting other attractions in the area such as the Aquarium or Pike Place Market. read more

Great spot for breakfast especially if you're on your way to the sculpture garden! It is kind of in between the sculpture Garden and pikes Place market. They have delicious coffee both hot drip coffee and Vietnamese ice style, I believe they serve Stumptown coffee. The breakfast /lunch is reasonably priced and there are so many options it's difficult to choose what to eat! There are many different types of Asian breakfast styles and an American style. There is plenty of seats for small groups and the staff is very friendly and helpful in choosing what to eat. It is self service for water, utensils, busing, etc read more

I have been meaning to visit Cafe Opla, but never had the chance due to a tight schedule. This morning I managed to free up an hour and find a convenient parking spot across the street. I came in and ordered a the Regular Baguette 4" sandwich and the Hawaii skillet, along with an iced Chai and iced Vietnamese cafe sua da. There was a line if 4-5 customers before and after our order, so we weren't surprised it took about 15 minutes for the food to arrive. The two drinks were out within 5 minutes, just had to remember to get straws which are hidden in plain sight. The regular sandwich was a bit plain for me, I should've ordered one of the more flavorful variations. The Hawaii skillet came out delicious, and both drinks were definitely a treat. All in all. I would like to revisit and try a couple more different items on their menu and see how I like it. Oh, there is also a 20 minute limit for beverage-only customers, and seating can be difficult especially if there are more than 2 in your party. read more

If you're looking for a perfect breakfast/brunch, check this place out! Their menu features a little bit of everything. There isn't anything I don't like because everything I've had is delicious! The chimichurri is everything! So good! My personal favorites are Opla Vietnam, Opla Korea, House Special Banh Mi, and the Deluxe Breakfast Baguette. My favorite drinks are the lavender latte with a little bit of honey, Rose Kombucha, and their Italian Sodas (I generally try the flavor that is in season). read more

Cafe Opla in the past has been one of my favorite breakfast spots in Seattle. While still a place I will visit infrequently, changes to the business model makes it a less desirable experience than before. Moving from a counter order system to a wait staff seems to have tripled the amount of time it takes to get your food. Expanding the menu might have impacted wait times as well. Overall I think they do best as a fast order small menu spot. read more

The location has beautiful views and the interior is nicely spaced out and very clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. I want to give this a better rating, but the hot chocolates I ordered were anything but. They didn't taste of chocolate at all. The kids' hot chocolate I ordered was the same (lukewarm) temperature as the adults' one I specifically requested to be extra hot.

I had bought the skillet at this Cafe in hopes of it being enough food for me. It was 17 dollars and came with 2 eggs 6 greasy tater tots that were soaked in old oil , pulled pork , and spam all of which were drenched in oil and tasted mid at best.My girlfriend ordered a breakfast sandwich and the only thing that was warm was the eggs and the bacon was RAW. Employees didn't have nametags or any indicator of them working there, mumbled everything, and ontop of that all of the utensils were in this tin can where people stored thier dirty napkins and used silverware.

Went in a few days ago, the place was bustling and the service was great. Today stopped by there were maybe three tables occupied. A young guy came to the front, mumbled something I couldn't understand, showed me to the table. Brought me 1/2 glass of tepid water, dropped a menu and left. Saw him shuffling slowly around the place, cleaned off a table, straightened a few other tables and passed by me about six times. Not a word. Finally after 15 minutes of sitting there, I got up and left. I know they have an order counter but I was served quickly and politely the time before. I don't see any reason today. The guy shouldn't be a waiter. Bad customer service skills. I know it's tough right now with service people but this place was not slammed today. Won't return. read more

Came here with my friends and then again with my girlfriend the next day. Both times I was extremely satisfied with the food and service. I had the Opla Phillipines on the first go and it was delicious. The meatballs were surprisingly juicy and the longanisa was on point. On the second go, I had the Opla Korea. The tofu was awesome! It had so much flavor to it you wouldn't believe that it was tofu until you asked. There was also kalbi, which was cooked to perfection. It could have used a tiny bit more marinating, but that's because I like my kbbq. Both dishes came with beautifully executed sunny side up eggs and a Vietnamese baguette accompanied with a chimichurri sauce that was to die for. The service was quick and the staff was friendly and very helpful! Prices were decent for the area and the place was clean and tidy. No complaints there. I would recommend this cafe to anyone visiting the waterfront and Pike Place. read more

So simple and delicious! The gals at the counter greeted us right as we walked in. There were so many good options I wasn't sure which skillet to try. The gal at the register immediately offered some suggestions listing the most popular dishes. We went for the "Opla Phillipines" and the "Opla Hawaii." Both awesome choices. The Opla Hawaii had spam, pulled pork, furikake and fried shallots. The Opla Phillipines has Filipino pork sausage (yum!), meatballs, tomatoes and fried garlic. The mini is the perfect size for a midday snack. Ps, make sure to get some chimi sauce to dip your baguette in. Money! Service and food, two thumbs up! read more

Oh my goodness the ube pancakes are HEAVENLY! It just melts in your mouth. I'm not a big ube fan…read morebut the flavor was perfect. The pancake was fluffy. The temperature was just right. The stack comes with FOUR! - I was surprised since most other places tend to do three. Definitely worth it. The long silog was SO GOOD. Sweet and juicy - I can't get enough. The owner was also walking around and chatting with folks. Super cool place. To top it off, the playlist were typical karaoke songs that everyone is singing together at the end of a house party. This was an incredible experience :) The decor really sealed the deal as a unique place. The window display where you line up to enter had items arranged like a neighborhood convenience store in the Philippines. The walls and columns inside had pictures of the owner, his family, and nick knacks of items collected from around the world.

After living in Seattle for several years, I finally made it to Ludi's. Honestly, the reason it…read moretook me so long is the same reason everyone wants to go, there is almost always a line out the door. Since they don't take reservations, arriving later in the day means you should expect to wait. My friend and I waited just over an hour, but it really did not feel that bad. While we were waiting, I think it was the owner who came outside with trays of freshly made banana lumpia coated in sugar and cinnamon and handed them out as a thank-you to everyone standing in line. He kept bringing out warm batches until everyone had one, which was such a thoughtful touch and definitely made the wait a little easier. Once inside, you order at the counter before being seated. The space has a funky, welcoming vibe, with a wall covered in product samples and memorabilia that adds a sense of the restaurant's history and roots. I knew the ube pancakes are only available Friday through Sunday, so I had to try them. The stack came with four huge pancakes covered in rich purple ube sauce, and they were absolutely worth the wait. We also ordered a silog breakfast with garlic rice and shared everything, which was the right choice because the portions are generous. The food came out surprisingly fast. We had only been sitting for about five minutes before everything arrived. The butter mochi is $2 a piece and worth adding to your order, and the lilikoi iced tea was so refreshing. The service was fast, organized, and friendly, especially considering how busy they were. The wait is really the only downside, but that is what happens when a place is this popular. This was easily the best Filipino breakfast I have had in a long time, and hands down the best ube pancakes I have tried. Ludi's is absolutely worth the hype. Just bring good company to kill time, expect a line, and come hungry.

What a secret gem of a place! Just tucked in from a bustling Denny street!…read more We started out with some cappuccino and iced latte, and they were lovely. They served the coffees with a little shortbread cookie, and these little details really elevated the whole experience. Also, the cappuccino was so foamy, and it hit the spot immediately. The breakfast menu was also fantastic. The TPC Breakfast plate included sausage, potatoes, bacon, bread, and some scrambled eggs. There also was an option to add Beecher's cheese on the eggs, and I'd say it was totally worth it. Most importantly, the Dutch baby was as good as they'd advertised. It comes out on a piping hot skillet which kept the dessert warm till the end of the meal. The service was very quick even though they were entirely booked out for the time we were there for. I appreciated the patience from the servers and their helpful directions in picking the menu items. I will warn you that we had to reserve our spot months in advance. This is probably because the restaurant is great but pretty limited in seating space. However, it was definitely worth the wait, so don't be discouraged. I highly recommend trying it out at least once. All in all, highly recommend! Please go try Tilikum Place Cafe!

We tried all three Dutch babies - classic, sweet, and savory - and they didn't disappoint. The…read moresavory-sweet combo was the highlight, especially if you enjoy contrasting flavors. The baked eggs, however, were just okay - nothing particularly good. The ambiance was cozy and nice, right in downtown Seattle. However, be prepared: the wait can be long, and once you're done, they'll need the table, as there's usually a line. Overall, it's worth a visit - just make a reservation and come for the Dutch babies. I was told there are seasonal Dutch babies so try again sometime in June maybe. Rating: 4/5 Standout: Savory Dutch Baby

As soon as you walk in, you're immersed in a cute café filled with greenery and plants everywhere, which adds to the fun, cozy vibe. It does get pretty packed on the weekends. I went around 10 a.m. and it was pretty busy. Although, we didn't have to wait in a long line as the service is efficient. You order at the counter, and they have a good selection of pastries, sandwiches, and other brunch items. I ordered a vanilla latte, the raspberry cloud matcha, a quiche, and the croque monsieur. The coffee was perfectly creamy and smooth without being too sweet. The food was good, nothing that particularly stood out but I'd still come back. Next time I'd probably try the breakfast board since that seems to be a favorite. Overall, it's a nice spot to study or grab a bite or drink with friends, but just keep in mind it can get pretty noisy when it's crowded.

Because you never turn away a delicious PNW Salmon dish. The place is cute, mainly wooden, lots of plants inside (my allergies were killing me here hehe). Plenty of sitting areas and window views too. I got lucky to seat by a window to just enjoy the rainy view. Their Salmon toast was delicious! I asked for the cream cheese on the side because I cant have lactose but I still wanted to try their dish with all ingredients. So I dipped the slices a few times to try it all and omg its so perfectly paired. I totally recommend it! The coffee was ok. I had their gingersnap latte seasonal drink. I asked with only 1 pump of sweet and alternative milk. I was not impressed. I prefer black coffee haha but if you enjoy sweet drinks you may enjoy this one. I still finished it, so it wasn't terrible just not something I'd order again. Also, Idk why my coffee was served on a to-go cup. Maybe that took some of the joy of it? Overall, I recommend the this spot. Staff was friendly. The menu is vast. Sitting arrangements are great and cozy. Within walking distance from the convention center and a couple of the hotels in the area.

Fulcrum Cafe is a small but cute coffee shop in the Denny Triangle area of Downtown Seattle…read more When we visited, Fulcrum offered a great menu of fancy speciality coffee drinks and an amazingly lovely pastry selection. Unfortunately, they were not offering breakfast sandwiches on the day we visited, which was a large part of their food menu. The service was fast and friendly. This place does have a bit of a fancier vibe, so we opted to order and go since our kids were with us. They do have cute little seating options inside and outside- always a perk! We just ordered a drip coffee and a pistachio cream latte. The Pistachio Cream latte was amazing, but we wished it had a tad more pistachio flavor. The drip coffee was good. Worth the visit if you're nearby!

I went with the "Sunggle Me Sesame" (espresso, toasted black sesame sauce, brown sugar syrup, and oat milk), and it was phenomenal. I'm not usually a fan of sweet drinks, but this was beautifully crafted--not overly sweet, just a perfect balance of nutty, toasty, and slightly sweet flavors. It felt unique, comforting, and incredibly well thought out. Overall, such a standout coffee spot with creative drinks and exceptional quality. Highly recommend!

I recently visited opla and had a generally enjoyable experience. The food and drinks were delicious, and the quality was impressive. The oplas are a bit overpriced, but the norm for the waterfront. The two girls serving us were exceptionally friendly, making us feel welcome and well-attended. However, it was clear that the restaurant was quite understaffed, which led to delays in service. I've been somewhat a regular at opla, however, the lack of staff on a HOLIDAY and even during the summer is unacceptable. Overall, the managers need to start caring for their staff and wellbeing. If the service matched the quality of the food, this place would be an amazing brunch spot! read more

One of those rare new places that have it together within their first few weeks of opening! Tried the Hawaiian and Japanese Opla and it was just the perfect meal to have on a Sunday afternoon. Staff was very helpful and welcoming. Definitely a cool new place to check out. They also serve Stumptown Roasters Coffee! read more
