    This is by far ironically the best coffee out of the 5 places I have tried so far. You can actually taste the coffee in the lattes it's not just entirely milk! It's super conveniently located which was also super exciting! I highly recommend!

    Officially my favorite place for a morning cafe in downtown Seattle. A friend in the office offered me an alternative option to my big box routine latte on busy mornings. She suggested the Turkish latte and it was immediately my Fonte fav after the first sip. I've not tried anything from the brunch menu but each beverage I've tried has been uniquely perfect.

    Cashless?  So what's in the tip jar?
    Marcos T.

    Ok, the food and coffee were delicious. The two ladies working were very pleasant and provided excellent customer service. That's what got them the 4 stars, but I have a question. Why do they insist on being "cashless" but still put out a tip jar? Where are they going to spend the cash? Certainly not at their own establishment. Cash is good for all debts public and private as it states on the legal tender. Accept cash and your employees will receive more tips.

    Sage latte. Extra sage for all the zombies today! Shoo!

    Bummer!! Normally, fonte can do no wrong with their lattes. Fonte Seattle that is. Tried this place out and I was pretty disappointed. It's in the lobby of Hyatt regency Bellevue. Open space, plenty of places to sit. They have Togo food ( salad and sandwiches, even a few cookies). Pretty big espresso bar. Less food option than Seattle but isn't missing much for the espresso bar to lack in coffee. I got my fonte favorite: sage latte. It was pretty much a normal regular latte. No sage on top, nor the syrup! They forgot to add! I went back and told them about it: they added! So much that it was not drinkable! Boo! Left my cup 90% full! The barista just said awe! Sorry. Sorry indeed! Should've been the same! But not even close. Bummer!!!!

    Stale cinnamon roll with a cold center.

    I ordered a chai latte and a giant cinnamon roll. While the flavors of the latte were exquisite, it was served like warm. The cinnamon roll looked delicious - but it turned out to be dry, cold in the center, and it left an oily funk on my tongue that reminded me of a smelly refrigerator.

    Your drink will feel surprisingly light when you pick it up. That's cause about 30% of it will be foam. Well insulated cups though.

    The name of this establishment may not sound too appealing, but don't let it deter you... they whip…read moreup some delicious sandwiches! The menu is quite small with three cold sandwiches and three hot ones, each inspired by a different region of the globe with the South Pacific, South America and Mediterranean as a few examples. There were two salads listed as well. I've been here twice and both times, when I went to place my order on the iPad, the menu stated they were out of stock for the sandwich that I wanted. However, when I asked the employee, she said that was not correct. So if you see the same message when ordering, it's worth asking about it! During my first visit, I ordered the RENDANG ($14). This hot sandwich came packed with SO much meat! Very tender chunks of marinated beef tasted of coconut, curry and warm spices. The flavor had true depth and I could actually taste hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. Thin spears of pickled cucumber and carrot added crunch and a perfect zing of acidity. They were refreshing and cut through the rich beef. A drizzle of Sambal Terasi (chili) aioli gave it another layer of flavor. Cilantro, mint and Thai basil were all fresh and vibrant. The bread was lightly toasted, being a little crinkly in texture without being harsh against my gums. If I could change something, I would include a couple extra slices of the cucumber to balance out the ratio of vegetables to meat, and add a bit more of the aioli. Other than that, this is a great sandwich influenced by flavors of the South Pacific. My companion got the STEAK sandwich ($15) and enjoyed it. The steak slices were thinly cut and tender as well. They do their beef right! On another occasion, I tried the PROSCIUTTO ($14), one of their cold sandwiches. The delicate layers of prosciutto were placed on top of sliced tomatoes, pickled onion and arugula, all between pressed focaccia bread. Truffle mustard was spread on both pieces of bread, which was WAY too much in my opinion. With this mustard having a stronger flavor, it overpowered the sandwich and made it too tangy, especially in combination with the pickled onions. The menu stated this should include pistachios, but I didn't notice any, and they were all out of provolone, so there was also an absence of cheese. For the prices, these sandwiches are pretty generous in size, so I consider them a good deal, especially for the Bellevue area. The ingredients are fresh and make for a fantastic lunch option. While I wasn't a huge fan of the Prosciutto sandwich, I'd definitely go back again for another Rendang!

    Sad to see it go. Looked like there were some creative sandwich options but it is often…read moreunderstaffed and if you have to wait for a server's attention why not just go anywhere else where there are people waiting to serve you?

The bagels were delicious and toasted perfectly. It came with whipped butter and raspberry jam on the side. The pastrami omelet was very large and came with a generous serving of potatoes. ALso tried the pastrami and corned beef breakfast bagel, which was packed with almost like an omelet tucked inside a bagel. Also got a side of hand made chicken sausage which was okay. Tasted healthy. The one disappointment was the vanilla latte. It tasted more like it came from an automated coffee machine than a traditional espresso machine and lacked the flavor and quality I was expecting. Most things are self-serve here, including finding your own seating, grabbing silverware, getting water, and pouring drip coffee. As we were leaving, a live musician was getting set up to play, Which added a really welcoming atmosphere. The inside is nicely decorated and family friendly, with lots of children's books around to help keep little ones entertained. The prices are definitely on the higher side, but the portions are large. Food tastes good, large portions, cozy atmosphere, and live music, I'd come back again though I'd probably skip the latte next time.

All the food here is packed with flavor. The workers at the counter take your order and bring the food to your table. Its a nice cozy vibe regardless of the time of day or weather. One thing that has always stood out to me is that they serve Matzo Ball soup and an amazing Reuben sandwich. On my last visit I went around breakfast time. We ordered both the #7 Omelette: Nova Scotia Lox and the #2 Omelette: The Supreme Omelette. Of course both were such generous portions that we had leftovers. We also got the Reuben. The sandwich was so big it had to be deconstructed and eaten with a fork and knife.

Dining in is an option, I've only experienced to go as it's most convenient for my family. Ordering is always easy, text messages about the order status allows for ideal arrival time.

DERU Market is always busy for a reason, plan ahead if dining in or ordering to go. I will return and highly recommend!

    Came on a weekend when it was really crowded. Really excited to try this place as I've heard good…read morethings about it and love that they use fresh farm ingredients. Had a total party size of two. We even added our names, but when we got led to our seats, we were put at the barstools. There were plenty of other parties of two that arrived after us that got tables plus there were some empty tables for two that we saw as well. So we requested a table instead of the bar area, but the server told us the manager didn't want us sitting there. Didn't make much sense when there were empty tables. Maybe they had some reasoning or structure for weekend crowds they they had to follow, not sure, but we had to stay seated at the bar area. We ordered a Margherita pizza to split as well as a slice of carrot cake as I've heard a lot of good things about these items. The pizza had really fresh ingredients and the sauce and tomatoes were tasty, however the dough was incredibly salty and made it difficult to eat. This was my first time at Deru Market, but I assume it isn't always this salty and could have been a one-time thing. The slice of carrot cake was pretty expensive (around $14) but it's huge and good to split amongst 2-3 people. I liked the generous serving of nuts and shredded carrot inside. Cream cheese frosting was still a bit too sweet for me (think I prefer Deep Sea Sugar and Salt's to this) and I had to remove most of it, but the cake was overall pretty good though a little on the dry side. I get why this place is popular, but I don't think I had the best first time experience here. With the high number of positive reviews though, maybe they were just having a bad day since it was a Saturday and pretty crowded, so I'm hoping to come back again in the future, during like a seasonal special if they have any.
